New York has a big Jewish population.

Racism is always a good idea.

Filthy children!

In a neighborhood, everyone knows your name. If Joe the Plumber and Fred the Butcher make a bet, everyone has heard it, and the loser has to pay up, or be scorned.

In a bar, the bartender or server holds the bets and pays off the winner, and expects a cut of the pie as a sevice fee/tip.

Apparently, back in the day the government decided that some places weren’t worth saving, and the benefits of building dams and flooding the towns outweighed other considerations.

The movie ‘Deliverance’ has a plot about something like this happening.

Here’s a link to some books on the subject. You’re right, most people figure it would be putting our heavy industries in space and bring down what ever products are needed.

With climate change and coastal flooding, it’s coming, just not in the form you’re thinking of.

Asteroid mining. We’ve had the tech to get people to the asterodi for decades, just lack the will to do it.

A lot of difference between shooting protestors and a nuclear war.

Look at Trump’s big military parade. The Army has crack drill teams, expert parachute units, ace helicopter pilots, and dozens of other impressive troops to put on display. No way is the military going to go to war because Donnie is having a tantrum.

Dad had a stroke?

This is where caring counts. We’ve all seen videos where ‘dad reflexes’ kick in and someone reacts in micro-seconds to save a kid. Medical staff was getting paid to show up and be on stand-by. They were expecting a broken leg, or other trauma.

I’ve never been to a billionaire polo match [sad trumpet] but I’d assume that there be some medical staff, like you’d find at any major sporting event where injury is likely. On the other hand, I could see how the staff was prepared for a broken neck and not considering bee stings. Either way, it’s pretty funny.

Don’t engage with them.

If every interaction you’ve had is bad, look for the common denominator

You know that Trump just told the generals to have ‘a parade.’

Kim or Putin would know exactly which tanks and units he wanted, would have specified how many flyovers, and sweated all the details.

People are downvoting you, I assume because they think you are lauding some other east Asian billionaire.

iirc Epi-pen is the usual treatment, and those things are pretty easy to obtain.

I think that OP philpo is on to something, that the medical staff was a bit slow to deal with the situation.

I read a detective novel years ago. One character said that even when people are lying, they always reveal a lot when they are boasting.
