DDN10 wrote that most of the people who had bought a ticket for the Finals probably wanted to see Sinner, because, according to the author, the tennis player had brought many closer to tennis or reignited passions that had been dormant after years of Italian disappointments.

Good morning, I would like to share an information from Morning Zapping, by the excellent Marc Fiorentino, who in turn refers to data from a study by the Wall Street Journal. Do you remember the K economy? The letter used to describe the structure of the economy of the United States. The top part of the K, the small portion of the population that drives growth. The bottom part of the K, the overwhelming majority of the population that fully suffers from the decline in purchasing power. You will see, the numbers are staggering. 0.1%. 0.1% of Americans. The ultra-rich. The Fed has published a study analyzed by the Wall Street Journal. First finding: their wealth has more than doubled since 2019. We are talking about 14.5 trillion dollars in additional wealth. Of which 10 trillion came from the increase in the stock market and investments. In 6 years. THIS 0.1% Of the population now controls 28 trillion dollars, which represents 15% of the total wealth of Americans. But the most spectacular figure: In 2022, the average wealth of this 0.1% was 45.8 million dollars. In 2026, it is 200 million. SO 28 trillion dollars of wealth for the 0.1% of the population. While the wealth of the bottom 50% of less wealthy Americans is 4 trillion dollars. $63,000 in average wealth. 3,000 times less than that of the 0.1%. PROFILE OF THE 0.1% Mainly corporate executives. Mainly shareholders. And therefore primarily holders of shares in listed or unlisted companies. That's where the explosion of their wealth came from. We are talking about only 137,000 families. Real estate has also significantly contributed to enrichment, and it is also true, but to a much lesser extent for a large portion of American families. Notice: This is a study regarding the USA, but it can easily be applied to the rest of the world as well. The rich are getting richer, while poverty numbers continue to rise. (translated)
"Of course, I hope that something happens in the vote of the Montecitorio chamber on the electoral law in the coming days, but of course for that to happen, something must occur within the ranks of the majority because they have the numbers on their side to impose whatever they want, as they have done throughout the entire legislature. Of course, I hope that it can happen again because I consider this legislative proposal to be a measure in many aspects tainted by elements of unconstitutionality." This is the position of Nicola Fratoianni from Avs. (translated)
"I am a slap to Parliament. The institutions are not the property of the majority; they are the home of all: it is a law that defies the Constitution and, therefore, free and democratic Italy."

Bonifacio Castellane had argued that in Spain the left had brought in 10 million immigrants in 20 years, equivalent to 20% of the population. He claimed that Sánchez had granted citizenship to a million people and that, in his opinion, to win, the left only needed 20% of the votes and the support of immigrants, without achieving a majority. He wondered if under these conditions one could still speak of "democracy." #immigrazione #democrazia #politica (translated)
"An unworthy choice: we made 50 amendments in total, there is no obstructionism. Put your trust because you are afraid of the stability of your majority," attacks Federico Fornaro from the Democratic Party. #LeggeElettorale #PoliticaItaliana #Elezioni2026 (translated)

Mirko Nicolino described the scenario of the FIGC after the president of CONI, Buonfiglio, opened the door: according to him, Malagò would have been appointed as commissioner and would then have checked if there was a majority to return to the presidency.

"There is no provision expiring, it is not a decree; if the electoral law had been approved by the end of the month instead of by October 10, nothing would have happened. The only fully political and not regulatory reason why they have placed confidence is to avoid stumbling, to prevent incidents for the majority." Riccardo Magi explains the reasons that drive him to continue his protest against the reform of the voting system. #LeggeElettorale #GovernoMeloni #Democrazia (translated)

“Sulla legge elettorale “è il momento della massima responsabilità per tutta la maggioranza chiamata, dopo l’incidente di luglio sulle preferenze, a dimostrare che c’è e va avanti”.Così il ministro per i Rapporti con il Parlamento Luca Ciriani, in una intervista al Corriere della Sera. #LeggeElettorale #CameraDeiDeputati #GovernoMeloni
“Quella che Meloni si appresta a imporre al parlamento è una legge che consideriamo incostituzionale, l’ennesima forzatura e il tentativo di introdurre surrettiziamente per via di legge ordinaria il premierato è inaccettabile come lo è cambiare le regole a colpi di maggioranza a pochi mesi dalla lezione”.Lo dice Nicola Fratoianni arrivando alla presentazione del libro “La principessa” di Davide Tozzo. #LeggeElettorale #CameraDeiDeputati #GovernoMeloni
