Seattle was promised a World Cup windfall. Instead, hotels are cutting prices and ticket costs are dropping. Perhaps it’s just that Americans don’t like soccer as much as organizers expected, or is Seattle's reputation hurting demand?

WELKER: Coffee prices are up 19%, beef is up almost 15%, and bacon up almost 6% just to name a few. So when are all grocery prices going to come down as President Trump promised? BESSENT: Kristen, it's unfortunate. As much as I like you, you like to cherrypick.

Seattle sold itself as World Cup-ready. The hotel industry just called it a "non-event" six weeks out. Eighty percent of hotels report bookings below a normal summer. Tourists are going to Miami and Atlanta, instead. Does this truly surprise you?

Why is it you never see Israel in the World Cup? Are they just bad at soccer/futbol? After all, Egypt, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and even Iran qualify for the World Cup… Are they just that much better? This should come as no surprise to you, but it’s because of anti-Jewish policies

FIFA not turning into the financial windfall for Vancouver that politicians and promoters promised "Destination Vancouver says hotel bookings for June are down 20% from the same time last year." "The Men's World cup was billed by the city and province as big business. But with the final hosting costs still unknown, some are questioning the economic impact."

.Michael Knowles is NOT happy that Americans are into the World Cup: "I am so blackpilled that Americans are taking soccer seriously...I hate this freaking sport. It sucks. It's third-world. It's gay, and I don't like it." 😂

This Memorial Day weekend is expected to set a travel record despite more expensive tickets for Americans who plan to fly. AAA projects around 3.7 million Americans will fly this weekend, as travelers are seemingly undeterred by higher ticket prices from increased jet fuel costs. Grady Trimble spoke to travelers who are noticing those higher prices but are accepting the cost to still make their trips.

Just observing what I see .. judging by the Airport you clearly know the World Cup is in Kansas City .. Seattle, you get an idea the World Cup will be there, but not as much of a show as it is at KCI (or MCI)

I always said that Americans won’t care about the Iran War so long as it didn’t hurt their wallet or start a draft. Well now it’s hurting their wallet. Oil prices are changing how people feel fast. Listen to my podcast here:

Here’s the deal right now: Trump and Republicans are willing to shut down the government instead of work with Democrats to prevent health care costs from rising even more. People are already hurting as a result of Trump’s severe cuts, and Americans’ premiums are expected to double. We must take action to ensure people can still access affordable health care.

#DemsAct #DemVoice1 #wtpBLUE #ONEV1 #FAM46 For anyone puzzled by persistent inflation numbers. PLEASE WAKE UP. THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT It is NOT as Republicans would have you believe, fiscal mismanagement. It’s their rich donors stealing money from you with impunity. This is something Biden has little to no control of. Unless he takes some important and in my view, very necessary action. There is now irrefutable evidence which shows that high corporate profits are a main driver of ongoing inflation. Companies continue to keep prices high even as their inflationary costs drop. Prices for consumers rose by 3.4% over the past year, but input costs for producers increased by just 1%. When business costs rise the cost is passed on in the blink of an eye. When their costs drop they do NOTHING. Corporations are enjoying windfall profits worth $billions as a direct result of their costs dropping while consumer costs remain static and in some cases increase. The imperative action needed is a significant windfall tax based on the difference between input costs plus a normal margin and current consumer costs. Businesses see every global shock like the pandemic or Russia invading Ukraine, as an opportunity to exploit consumers to increase their margins. As a direct result, the Fed increases interest rates and consumer prices remain high. It’s a lose lose for American families, as yet more money is stole from the bottom and the middle to feed the greed of the rich. This is not a conspiracy theory it is a simple fact. Action needs to be taken, otherwise NOTHING WILL CHANGE as everyday Americans pay for the private jets and yachts of the rich.

Some people try to present these as two opposite goals – improving people’s quality of life and lowering living costs on the one hand, and strengthening security and defense capabilities on the other. But we should remember that fuel prices, energy costs, and Europe’s competitiveness are targets for Russia just as much as our independence and the right of our peoples to choose their own future. Russia attacks Europeans’ wallets just as much as it attacks their rights. That is why the stronger we are, the more stability our people will have. From an intervention at the Bucharest Nine Summit. (5/5)

FIFA adopted a dynamic pricing approach to tickets, by which prices fluctuate in accordance with supply and demand. This made for some absurd fluctuations to ticket prices. Standard admission pricing for the semi-final between Chelsea and Brazil’s Fluminense at MetLife was reduced to just $13.40 on the weekend before last Tuesday’s match, having been priced at $473.90 less than 72 hours earlier. That meant it could be cheaper to buy a ticket to the game than to buy a cheesesteak ($15) or a beer ($14) once you were inside the stadium. FIFA is still intending to implement dynamic pricing next summer at the World Cup for standard-admission tickets and it remains to be seen whether those costs will reflect the challenges faced during the Club World Cup over the past month, or whether Gianni Infantino and company take the view that the World Cup is a premium product and worthy of sky-high demand. Adam Crafton on what lessons can be learned from the Club World Cup for the 2026 World Cup ⤵️ 🔗
