I'm not familiar with the sport at all, but Red Bull's other sponsorship ventures would lead me to think that the money they would spend on a team is not tied to the direct profitability of it. It would help letting smaller teams

Cocaine is a different story as it is illegal in and of itself. As far as I know there is no momentum to outlaw Bitcoin itself. Other seized forms of property are routinely auctioned off at public auctions which is presumably a possibly ave

EVERTHING changing in London sure looks similar to not very much changing. I was in Bangkok 2 years ago and I must have had blinders on since EVERYTHING changed. I think the only thing that hasn't changed is bullshit hyperbole.

It's also about the humanization of others. Many who feel this come to realize that they have built up fantasy Übermensch and that the people who still qualify as geniuses and greats are fallible and carry with them many of the foibles

Portland treats the homeless well and its definitely not due to fabulous wealth. The homeless are not who we should focus on when talking about wealth inequality. Even though it makes a good visual, there are too many other factors at play
