If you were wondering what the US was focusing funds on and guessed "Convincing the British to eat chlorinated chicken" you were inexplicably right
This comes after BoJo's comments like…yesterday? Proving again the President is the dumbest, most impressionable man alive

> In 1974, Whitesburg’s Mountain Eagle newspaper spoke with a former coal miner in Hazard, Kentucky, “wheezing with black lung but denied disability compensation,” who explained that a local ARC bureaucrat had suggested he retrain as an elevator operator. The miner was confused about how this would work: Hazard had only one building with an elevator, “but the damn thing is push button.”
> References to concepts like “social enterprise,” “business incubation,” “workforce training,” and “technology hub” are ubiquitous.

@Yuuki This reminds me of that one Football match in a major tournament where the winner of the match would have to fight Brazil, and in the final 10 minutes or so, both teams were so scared of going up against Brazil that they were actually trying to score owngoals so they'd lose
 
Oh wait, it was something entirely different
On January 27, 1994, the Barbados national football team and Grenada national football team played against each other as part of the qualification round for the 1994 Caribbean Cup. Due to an unusual scoring rule, as well as the two teams' respective positions in the tournament, it was alternately in the best interest of first Barbados, then Grenada, to score an own goal. The result has been described as "one of the strangest football matches ever".The organizers of the tournament imposed a rule requiring all matches to have a winner and had chosen an unusual variant of the golden goal rule, which...

Imagine suing a company but also apparently not knowing which company you're suing
Good news everyone we got him. Howard Schultz was ratioed right out of a Presidential election
