No they're not because rocket launches take months of planning and the amount of payload you can deliver is quite small because of physics. They might as well be saying they're gonna build a perpetual motion machine.

I’m sorry, you simply can’t lead your newscast with that Miller tape on the birthright citizenship “order” without pointing out that that’s not the damn way it works. It’s just not journalism.

Just like all the other unethical shit WWE has been able to get away with over the years it's because respecable media has completely decided to ignore wrestling and treat it like a sideshow for marks who don't know they're being worked.

WWE's "record revenues" are a false economy because 10-15% of annual revenue comes from these blood money shows. They cannot replace that money if the Saudis pull out. It is a literal existential crisis for the company despite being ignored by (almost) everyone in wrestling media.

like, do you make a grocery store, which already runs on thin margins, artificially cheaper or do you give food insecure people money directly? or some third or fourth thing? the question is worth asking. none of the answers imply you hate hungry people.

So what does FIFA actually own? Some TV contracts and intellectual property rights to a trophy design and the term world cup? What's to prevent the regional organizing bodies from cutting them out and staging their own "Quadrennial Global Football Tournament?"

obviously in the hypothetical you do the flip, but in real life.... I'm just gonna stop you right there. Ain't nobody going around offering you a choice for 50k quid or a coin flip for a million and if they were, you'd be asking a hell of a lot of questions not already answered by their shirt.
