Saving vs Investing
Simply saving cash—whether it’s US Dollars, Japanese Yen, or Argentine Pesos—means your money is slowly losing value over time due to inflation. In contrast, investing your cash in a broad index fund (in the US or another developed market) allows your money to grow and compound over time.
Match Day 2: FIFA CWC
The European clubs remain favorites, but the South American sides have yet to suffer a defeat. Al Hilal and Al Ahly are determined to make their mark and reach the knockout stage. Meanwhile, the American and Mexican clubs are still in contention but must win this round to keep their hopes of advancing.
Boca Juniors vs S.L. Benfica
A game that could be dumbed as Argentina vs Argentina. Boca Juniors make a statement in the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup against Portugal’s Benfica, but Angel Di Maria and Nicolás Otamendi make a comeback that Boca Junior will remember.
FIFA Club World Cup
The FIFA Club World Cup is expanding to a true World Cup format, uniting the top clubs from every continent in the USA for an epic tournament. Here are my predictions for how things will unfold from the group stage to the knockout rounds.
American Exceptionalism.
There is a sharp divide between the left and conservatives when it comes to American exceptionalism. For those on the left, pride in America is often overshadowed by its historical wrongs, while conservatives view the nation as uniquely virtuous and a beacon of freedom.
God and Society.
The differences between the left and conservatives regarding the role of God and religion in America are significant. The left typically treats religion as a private matter, often restricting its influence in public spaces while embracing other belief-based movements in schools and society. In contrast, conservatives generally advocate for a society rooted in religious values, believing that faith provides an essential moral foundation, yet they also support the separation of church and state.
