The world cup is being talked about by people like me because it’s here. But depth of interest is clearly generational and ethnic. Overall, 22% of Americans are very interested. but only 10% of those over 70 are. Blacks and Hispanics are the most interested, with just about 60% of those two groups on board totally. Based on which poll, 45 to 54% of all Americans are totally disinterested. While we are in sports devotion territory, only 16% of Ameicna are ok with UFC/MMA matches on the White House lawn.
Wall Street is all adither over the arrival of the Sace X IPO. Happiest is Musk who will be a trillionaire. That kind of makes being a millionaire passe, doesn't it?
Speaking of space, a lot of people found the Vulcan on Star Trek Spocktacular. Thanks to Jumble.
Remember the boy who cried wolf? And you wonder why the people have stopped paying attention. Except those who play the roller-coaster stick market.

Credit Card debt is edging towards trouble. 13% are 90 days delinquent after the first Q of 2026. That's the highest since 2011. And it could be one of America’s biggest problems. Some people are there because they don't know how to manage money against desires. Others are there because it’s really expensive to raise a family. A trillionaire probably doesn't relate to any of that.
Speaking of trillionaires, I’d like to see what kind of charitable foundation Musk sets up for the betterment of communities around him.

Have a great weekend, E-v-e-r-y-b-o-d-y!!
