Great, now the drug cartels and ILLEGALS will have a field day with all the visitors.
No.
You can post your blog junk right here.
We are not your hit farm.
They aren’t sheep or idiots. They are crooks.
“Los Angeles may be even worse. LA is a bankrupt city in a bankrupt state run by mentally-bankrupt idiots.”
This says it all right there.
Hey, this is just sad. We need to bring in loads of cops and military to protect the Olympics, guess that will just be the norm from now on.
Hosting the Olympics has become a pretty decent proxy for identifying the current and future failed states of the world, so a sort of arid version of Brazil such as Los Angeles landing the Olympics is just further confirmation.
“Working hard to get the Olympics for the United States (L.A.). Stay tuned!” Donald J Trump Twitter accoint.
Paging the POTUS...
As I have pointed out on this forum before, there is no need to spend “tens of billions more to finance the building of all the massive new event venues that will be required.” The venues all exist, or will by 2024. Some spending will be needed for upgrades and refurbishment. London spent the equivalent of $10 billion in total for the games there in 2012.
The Los Angeles games in 1984 turned a profit. I see no reason why this can’t happen again. It might not, considering the incompetence of LA’s democrat run bureaucracy, but the hysteria of the author and the laziness of his research undermines his argument.
Los Angeles actually did great hosting the Olympics in 1984. They scared the crap out of their people, and it wound up that they had no traffic jams and no smog (everything essentially shut down), and relatively few outside visitors (they too were scared to visit). They used mostly existing venues, and the locals snapped up the tickets. And they let a non-Democrat white guy run the show (won’t happen again, I’m sure).
Wound up making billions of dollars. But I agree with others...it won’t happen again, not there, no way.
They say California would be the Xth largest economy in the world if they were a separate country. This is their chance to show off. Let California, the city and county of LA and private donors fund this entire show. Let the taxpayers in the other 49 states not pay a penny for this.
Some persons are hoping to make L.A. a duplicate of Mexico City.
They’ll just raise state and local taxes; it’s their solution to everything.
A “temporary” tax will solve all the problems.
Like that Spanish war tax on telephones we had or still have.
