China has far more money than Italy. Especially in sports. They're just traditionally bad at team sports. As a nation, that is. There are of course Chinese star athletes playing in a team on the international stage but not enough to actually compete in most things as a national team.

Such a hassle when Xitter is right there and lets them spread propaganda without any hacking.
It felt surreal arguing with boomers about record breaking temperatures the other day. Like, a new record was just broken for the highest temperatures in many European countries while we're sitting there, sweating our balls off in the middle of a 2 week long heat wave. "Nah" they kept saying "We've had hot days before." When I showed them statistics they refused to look at them. Instead they changed the topic instantly and ignored me for a good 15 minutes. Those weren't some strangers I just met, mind you. I've known these guys for my entire life.
Too many people but especially older people (at least from my experience) are completely delusional about climate. They aren't interested in facts, not interested in other people telling them they're wrong and they even ignore what they're experiencing themselves right now in favor of a severely distorted, rather vague idea of what a summer used to be 50 years ago.
