Are World Cup Tickets Worth the Price Tag? “It just doesn’t feel like this World Cup has the idea of making sure the fans have a good time at its center.” Soccer fans and host-city politicians are furious about FIFA’s new ticketing system.

On FIFA's descent into dynamic pricing. Little consequence first round games in South Africa and Brazil cost less than $100 and now it's like $500 a ticket to event to go the most meaningless games. www.newyorker.com/news/the-fin...

FIFA has already ruined this summer's tournament by allowing most of the first round games to be snapped up by touts who are reselling them for outlandish prices and by cozying up to Trump with a joke Peace Prize. Maybe the tournament will still be a success but they have mismanaged the lead up.

Unless there’s a dramatic turnaround, seems likely that poor leadership and bad policy are driving US auto industry toward the same fate.

Hegseth Says Climate Change Is ‘Crap.’ The Military Is Still Bracing for It Climate is now a verboten topic in the Pentagon, but the battle against storms, fires, floods and rising seas hasn’t stopped.

Good survey of how the U.S. military is trying to navigate in the current moment to protect bases and interests even as the Secretary has jettisoned “climate change” as a consideration. www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...
