El candidato a alcalde de NY expone aquí un nuevo ejemplo de gentrificación del fútbol. Entradas con precio dinámico. El ticket más barato del Mundial 2026 arranca en $60, pero puede encarecerse según demanda, como un billete de avión. Una barrera para la working class neoyorquina en su propia casa.
The biggest sporting event in the world is happening in our backyard. But most New Yorkers will be priced out of watching it live.

Blown away by this erudite book by @valentimvicente.bsky.social 🤯 An exceptional combination of theoretical sophistication and empirical breadth and depth.
His theory of normalization not just helps explain recent rise of far right but also warns for overestimating strength of democracy.
