Their PM is a literal fascist. They’re Musk’s peeps.

No he hadn’t. Because people who have been disappeared are never seen or heard from again. It’s like claiming someone was murdered, but later recovered.

No, because they didn’t attempt to disappear him.

Especially when it’s the most profitable race of the whole season.

It’s Hull. Who cares?

In that series, 5 drivers are American and under 25. It’s too much of an investment to have a driver that will age out in a decade. I haven’t checked who has the SL points required recently, but I think it’s only 2-3 contenders.

Realistically, the potential transfers from Indycar are Palou (Spain, 27 but a champion with the SL pts), Herta (not enough SL pts) and at the outside O’Ward (Mexico).

That’s how they’re funded. Your new favourite Icelandic Noir drama series can’t possibly get funded by Icelandic sources alone. So they pre-sell the rights in various territories to gain the funding required. So 5% from the BBC in the UK, 5% from NRK, 10% from ARTE etc.

In return for the investment, those broadcasters get to exploit the show on their own services. This is the basis of funding for most high-end dramas and feature films. Even the BBC, which thanks to the English language and its large annual budget was largely immune from this, has had to cut back and can only move forward by pre-selling territorial rights (see Doctor Who).

Take away territorial exclusivity and you’re left with the few films and shows being made will be ones for international streamers which are American with different accents (like Sex Education or the Harlan Coben adaptations) or very tiny budget things that no-one cares for.

You might look up what he did to a King who pushed things too far. Or whatever.

One of the major arguments against impeaching Clinton was that it would harm the prestige of the office. The same was used as an argument not to continue prosecution of Nixon. Both were alive at the time.
