    Met Valentino right behind me in line at Whole Foods in Monterey in 2005, first time he raced MotoGP at Laguna Seca....didn't know who he was initially, but he was a super nice guy, had no problem chatting with locals like me. People quickly noticed him and it became a bit crazy by the time I left. Amazing moment....just wish I realized how gigantic this guy was that I was talking to...my god.

      @@MasterKeyMagic Correction. They work for the best interests of capitalists pretending to be Socialists and "for the working class". They know very well that socialism does not work. By the way capitalism allows a homeless person to create something and then sell it as a product to the public and he gets to keep all the money to himself. Capitalism is good for small businesses trying to make it big.

      @@johnjandoh6732 Socialism isnt a complete word. Authoritarian-socialism doesn't work, but libertarian-socialism does.
      Capitalism inevitably ends with the complete destruction of its environment. Capitalism has always led to a insane disparity between the rich and the poor until the poor are basically again serfs/slaves. Capitalism has always led to the corruption of government by rich people who spend their free time figuring out how to convert their money into power. But by all means, go on defending it because an infinitely small number of homeless in theory have a chance of fulfilling this pipe dream you use as an excuse to defend exploitation.

    I confirm, in Italy artistic gymnastics is not even considered as a sport and in that I was very strong, I always thought that if I was born in another country I would explode precisely because of this reason, it is no coincidence that many Italians study in their country and then run away from Italy in search of fortune, we have a demographic problem.

    How the hell can you listen to and appreciate him, you English speakers? I am Italian and when I listen to him speak in "English" I laugh and cry at the same time. 🤣😱 Usually when a person speaks a language so badly, it causes annoyance to those who have that language.
    A few "was" and "could" would have been enough... 🤯
