Why do they all need 'stepping in' in the first place?
Thank you, we stepped in when Hockey needed money, we stepped in when Chess SA needed assistance, all Federations get a grant from government, you might dislike me but don’t apportion blame based on your feelings, read up and understand before you come for me.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Blame is being “apportioned” to you because you misrepresent how funds are allocated. The statement implies all money goes towards Sport, however the minister himself was responsible for R31m being used for private, none sports related travel.

The most simple socialist revolution can be launched today.
Start a company.
Make the shares owned by the workers.
Talk to customers, improve the product, promote it every day.

I’ve noticed something about every person I know who went from anti-AI to pro-AI.
None of them were convinced by an argument.
Not one.
They had a problem.
Their kid got a diagnosis they didn’t understand. Their landlord sent a letter full of legal language. Their business needed a website they couldn’t afford. They had a tax notice and no idea what it meant.
So they tried it. Just once.
And it helped them more in 20 minutes than any institution had in years.
That’s it. That’s the whole conversion.
You can’t debate someone into loving AI.
You just have to wait until life hands them a problem.
And life always does.

Exactly 😂
Tesla has no government contracts and President Trump ended federal incentives for electric vehicles.
SpaceX contracts with the government are BOTH the best product AND the lowest price! Moreover government revenue will be less than 10% of SpaceX revenue this quarter and less then 5% a year from now.
Happy to cancel any that the government doesn’t want. Just say the word!
In 1907, no matter how good a blacksmith you were, no matter how hard you worked, no matter your pricing... the tide had shifted to cars. Those 'Smithies' who became mechanics and service stations survived. We are now all Smiths, and the tide has again shifted. Quid agis deinde?

Both parties have had full control of the government multiple times in 30 years.
Healthcare is still broken.
Housing is still unaffordable.
Wages are still stagnant.
At some point, the argument that one side is the solution stops being believable.
