Many times in Polo it’s not about the USA. Same with our political leaders–we are not a part of their conversation. They are more worried about some other place and their pocketbook. We are supposed to be a free country where we can do what’s best for us and earn a living if we work, however, we have more homeless people than most countries, and do not take care of the millions of military people who made our politicians free. They are the crooks in our country, with no direction other than greed. They take care of their own group very well and whoever pays them to vote their way. In many ways we are close to Politics in Argentina, Mexico or Brazil.
How can people who win elections never do shit. Only our Politicians get huge benefits like inside information on companies, million dollar retirement funds and medical, and never get a got damn thing DONE. They have spent 2 years worried about Trump and, as usual, haven’t done anything! We are in a recession and who’s fault is it? It must Be TRUMP or Covid– not their stupid sh-t. The price of Gas and fuel is an easy example. It has doubled in a year and they say it’s because it’s a Russian import?? Well we get 1% of fuel from Russia. Turn on ten wells in Texas (( Done)). No, it’s Lobbying–the Oil companies see Electric cars coming and are trying to make it while they can. So oh YEAH let’s gouge the public and pay the congressman to see it done. They should all retire at the end of their term now. Maybe we could get some leaders and minds to make America some place to live. Two terms and done for congress, and for the house, half their retirement fund. If they are so smart they will make a living fine, if not, they can join the Soldiers who have no support as veterans, and get a real feel of life.
Back to Polo in the USA. NY, Chicago, Sheridan, Jackson ,Calgary and Santa Barbara are all in flight and a whole bunch more is coming! Summer Time and the hay burners are doing it. We need to hear from the little Clubs in the U.S. to see just what’s going on in our world and how the USPA is operating . I want your opinion. I will not hang you out to dry, I just need some info. Something is not right. We are getting fewer and fewer completive young players and young Patrons. WHY? You may have the answer.
I have been in polo since 1975 and something has definitely got worse. Americans are the minority in the game today and do not blame the South Americans–they just saw the gap and filled it. If you do not agree look at the UK. I know it’s the 4th of July, but they one-upped us this time .
cya just an opinion
