🎫 Paid ticketing at cycling races...
The problem is not charging fans.
The problem is asking for money without giving them more value.

No-strings-attached, zero-means-testing, no-questions-asked cash payouts have been proven, over and over again, to be the most effective form of charity/aid going.

An Oregon pilot program giving cash to homeless youths sees a staggering reduction in homelessness. The program gave participants $1,000 cash payments each month for two years, and at the end of the project's first phase, 91% of participants reported being in stable housing.

Well, if it’s 26 November, it must be the 139th anniversary of a divorce case so saucy and notorious it gave us the phrase “what the butler saw”, and newspapers suppressed some of the details of the domestic servant in question’s testimony because it was “unfit for publication”

Gebt unserer Petition bitte Reichweite: Die engagierte (und verzweifelte) Zivilgesellschaft in #Bautzen stellt sich gegen ein #Abwahlverfahren gegen unseren OB #Vogt. Er sprach beim #CSDBautzen und ist nun rechten Kräften ein Dorn im Auge. Es gibt hier eine unglaubliche Dynamik. 🔄❤️🙏

Had heard this from someone too who also said Adams already riding the new Scott bike aroud Denia. So while Marca reported Adams would "disappear from the project", and NSN press release mentioned a "take over", one question now is whether Adams is still involved with, eg funding, the team or not?
Sylvan Adams is present at NSN's first training camp, and the team could not rule out whether he will be seen at races going forward.
While he 'has no role' at NSN (formerly IPT), does that mean he's gone for good?

Die Karte zeigt es: die UA müssen bis zu 70km durch weitgehend deckungsloses Gelände zurückgehen - unter anhaltendem RU Beschuß
Das ist ein Plan zur Vernichtung von möglichst vielen kampferprobten UA Verbänden.
Anschließend kann Putin die Sender-Gleiwitz-Klausel ziehen und den Krieg fortsetzen

I’ve been in a room with Putin. He calls Ukrainians “Russians with accents.” His real fear isn’t NATO expansion, it’s democracy expansion. It shatters his entire argument for dictatorship at home. Because if Ukrainians embrace freedom, Russians may demand the same.
