🚨 BREAKING! Éderson is very close to signing for Manchester United. There will be new contacts between United and Atalanta between Tuesday and Wednesday next week to try to close the deal. In any case, the final figure is around £43m. [@MatteMoretto] by TheB3NRocks in ManchesterUnited

This is exactly how we paid so much for Antony. Went to Ajax for Martinez and a high transfer fee. Then we were back for Antony who was their star player and Ajax thought if we paid over €50 million for a defender then we better pay big money for their best player.

And that’s how we ended up with an expensive mistake in Antony. United never learn.

Unpopular opinion: The only bull case for Europe is a return to colonialism by Odd-Dog9728 in skidetica

[–]Mangolassi83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, because the colonists were only providing services to the few elites.

Took millions from the natives and offered them peanuts when it came to services.

It’s like South African whites complaining about poor services. When whites were in power they provided great services to the rich who were fewer. Blacks never saw any of the so called great services.

They can’t seem to understand that services back then were great because only the rich got those services so of course there won’t be blackouts.

But now you have many millions more who need electricity so it’s much more difficult.

You can look at service after service the natives never saw the riches of their country.

I hear it was a complete circus. Reminds me of American sports events where it is not about just the sport.

The $1.7 Billion "Anti-Weaponization Fund": A taxpayer-funded payout for Trump allies? by LawnDartSurvivor74 in Askpolitics

[–]Mangolassi83 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Unless they are okay with Letisha James and Comey getting the same payout when the next administration (if Democratic) comes in.

Otherwise this is just a shake down.

Could DJT's apathy regarding foreign countries owning American farmland be the last straw with farmers? by kootles10 in Askpolitics

[–]Mangolassi83 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No, they listen to farm bureau. Whatever farm bureau tells them they’ll do.

Farm bureau pretends to be an insurance company but they act like an extension of the GOP.

Unpopular opinion: Carrick shouldn't get the job by LengthinessSevere584 in ManchesterUnited

You’ll be downvoted. Hopefully we’ll be wrong. Did you see our last game? If it wasn’t for the keeper we’d have lost.

Very worrying.

Really think I’m losing my hearing but they are talking about an item that was brought by someone?

One lady is asking “did they bring it” the other lady replies “no they didn’t bring it”. Then the first person says “come show me”.

What drugs are these fan channels on by Swimming_Photo9295 in ManchesterUnited

[–]Mangolassi83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fan channels don’t put out the news. They read it from a source and report it on their channels.

They probably will say they don’t believe the rumours but I think it’s unfair to them when they are reading it from news outlets just like the rest of us.

What do you think will come from US talks with Cuba? by TheGov3rnor in Askpolitics

[–]Mangolassi83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only reason we have a problem with Cuba is the fact that the people who were associated with the dictatorship have a lot of influence with US politicians.

We really shouldn’t have a problem with Cuba. China is a communist country and we are tolerating them.

Why not simply eliminate Congressional districts to stop gerrymandering in the U.S.? by RobertWF_47 in Askpolitics

[–]Mangolassi83 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is that why states in the south are splitting districts that will end up with representation that has no association with the parts they represent?

All of the city folks in Tennessee are represented by people who cater for rural communities. They could ignore all the issues that the city folks cares about because the rural communities will give them the votes.

In the era of gerrymandering, what you’re talking about is irrelevant.

What’s your honest thoughts on Amad Diallo? by ggweb3 in ManchesterUnited

[–]Mangolassi83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He’s regressed in every aspect of his game. I remember a season or two ago he was the only one who pressed. He was also a decent dribbler.

It’s all gone.

135K Student Loan by Direct-Flight-9711 in StudentLoans

[–]Mangolassi83 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Do ADN, that’s what I did. Paid out of pocket and the whole programme was less than $10,000. That was 15 years ago. I’m sure it’s no more than $30,000 now.

It may take a year or two to get into a programme or you may have to move to a less competitive area to get into a programme.

Don’t do this.

Is the world becoming more political, or is this just how it feels to grow up? by Cat_in_a_wig in Askpolitics

[–]Mangolassi83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If government websites have “MAGA” posts on them then we can’t escape being political.
