  • Why not make an Olympic bid be for 20 years, 5 games? With summer and winter bids offset, so for instance you’d have Paris be the summer games city 2024-2044 and Vancouver 2030-2050, something like that… Would give plenty of time to monetize the infrastructure investment, but not so long as massive repairs are needed…

    While we’re at it, all projects should include plans and funding to convert Olympic facilities into good quality low cost housing after the 20y are up, why not…

    🤷‍♂️




















  • “My” can, but certainly doesn’t always imply ownership. It implies that the qualifier for person B in the sentence is applied to their relationship to me, person A.

    My banker, my hairdresser, my dentist, my accountant, my contractor, my neighbor, my boss, my elected official, etc.

    Probably not at all on you, here, but this is a good example of “exaggerated progressivism” or fake-woke/politically correct speech. It weakens the credibility of the progressive movement and gives conservatives silly exaggerations to point to and mock, when this kind of stuff emerges.

    Just my 2 cents!
