When I retired, I was asked to sit on the City's disaster mitigation committee. We spent a year in assessment, then writing the report that FEMA would accept (think APA for the goverment). The improvements according to the plan to make the city safer took about five years. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hmmmm, Jerry Baumchen I wonder what's taking the Olympic Games Committee and the World Cup Org so damn long to cancel. If I were from Central to South America, you couldn't force me at gunpoint to enter the US. Suddenly curious how much longer we American citizens can LEAVE. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Like everyone else the Olympics are thinking TACO before 2028. But wouldn't that be wonderful if both events simply cancelled. Sure the ban ostensibly doesn't include athletes and certain visa holders etc. but who sane could trust Ice Barbie not to sick her hounds on a few friends and family types. I wouldn't risk it. Iran has already qualified for the 2026 World Cup. Hopefully they'll change the team name to The Bombs. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The IOC do a better job of hiding it but aren't really that different. They are certainly well practiced at dodging any ethical concerns by insisting that they are always completely apolitical so as not to infringe on the purity and sanctity of the sporting arena. Because apparently athletes don't have to live in the world like the rest of us. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kallend 2,150 #1745 June 15 It appears that the cost to taxpayers of the birthday boy's parade came to around $2,000 per spectator who showed up. Meanwhile some 10 million people turned up at no cost to No Kings protests. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
