  1. "As a former leader of the #ComandoVermelho I interviewed for a my article told me, to #evangelical Christians, funk is acceptable because it represents the devil, which is something you can repent. Samba, Jongo, Capoeira and other traditions represent an alternative religious belief system were things that evangelicals needed to destroy.
    Whereas it is true that there were a few evangelical Christians on the 1994 and 2002 World Cup teams, most weren’t explicitly connected to prosperity gospel churches. This started with Kaka and Robinho, whose family belonged to the same prosperity gospel Church as #Neymar. Neymar followed and has been a huge influence on the current generation of players. The 2026 squad only has one non-evangelical in the starting lineup.…
    This has resulted in #narcissistic players who believe they are famous because they are more special than commoners, more holy than lesser players. It’s not very good for teamwork and this was exemplified by Neymar’s individualist histrionics when he came onto the pitch after the mandatory corporate advertising break in the second half of the game against Norway."

    Every month at the #Pentagon, #Hegseth hosts #evangelical worship services that #legal experts say are unprecedented.

  5. *US vs Geisinger*

    7. How would patients be hurt by the transaction?
    Hospitals compete to attract patients to their facilities by offering high quality care, a broad #scope of #services, #amenities, #convenience, customer service, and attention to patient satisfaction. This competition improves access to #healthcare, reduces wait times, and improves the quality of care for all patients, including commercially insured, #Medicare, #Medicaid, and #uninsured #patients. #Hospitals also compete to be included in health insurers’ networks and this #competition enables insurers to #negotiate lower #reimbursement rates and other terms that reduce healthcare costs, all for the benefit of patients. This transaction permanently and fundamentally alters the competitive relationship between #Geisinger and #Evangelical by linking them together in a number of ways that, taken together, raise the likelihood of coordination and reduce #Geisinger
    #incentivetocompete #aggressive against each other... The transaction is likely to lead to #highprices, #lowquality, and #reducedaccess to high-quality #inpatient hospital services for patients in central Pennsylvania. In addition, the transaction creates incentives for Geisinger to raise prices to commercial insurers and other #purchasers inpatient acute care...
