Neighborhood evicted for Rio Olympics

jeudi 25 mai 2017 à 02:00

A whole neighborhood was evicted for the Rio Olympics, and many of the inhabitants are left without a community even though they have more valuable houses.

I don't think the Olympic games will be held very much in free countries any more. The people know what a swindle the games are and will campaign to keep them away. The games will be held in tyrannical countries like China, where the people can't resist.

This raises the question of whether to hold Olympic games any more. Typically each sport has an annual championship. Those are held at different times of year, and they don't put a burden on the cities where they are held. They also don't provide an opportunity for big profits for a few businesses — and that is good.
