Palestinians starve, The Lebanese stave. There are Egyptians who live in cemeteries. Egypt has ghettos that make Brazilian favels seem posh. Syria is a hell hole. There is mass starvation in Yemin. Iraq is another hell hole!!!!!
Is there a sound, sane reason to do this? 220 billion f'ng dollars, so that the Emir and his 100 kids can be entertained. 400-500 dead migrant workers. The world gasped at Brazil 2014 and its 50 billion. then it gasped again at Russia's 2018 and its 50 billion...
220...the world, the Arab world, the Qataris should be chocking.. Un-f'ng real.
and even if you remove the Arab issue out. Just focus on sanity... what insane human believes that it is okay to waste money on this? 220 billion dollars at $100 a covid shot, is 2.2 billion shots. It effectively could have given the vaccine to 1/3 of the adult population of this world. Covid and the Arab world will never be revealed. It was a slaughter.
220 billion dollars at 3%, over a 50 year period, would have meant ~ 1 trillion dollars. And would have given every Qatari (assuming a population increase of 2.5%.) 285 K ...instead it is spent on waste, on construction companies owned by the royals and on foreigners.... a world cup generates about 8 billion in revenue..they are 212 billion down. The 8 billion is principally fifa's, so we are back up to 220 billion.
3rd world totalitarian nations..gotta love them. Old Jean Drapeau screwed MTL over with the 76 olympics.. 1.5 billion...well at 3% and now 46 years, we are talking a whopping 4.5 billion in today's dollar. only 215.5 billion off of Qatar.
let's hope the mod keep this up until you see it.
