Was it really worth it?
Time to starve and tighten your belts now.
We got no money for childcare or libraries.
But our cops got $1500 mountainbikes
and brand new $600 tasers.
I live on $1500 total for 6 months.
Yeah, that's right, I scrape by for 6 months on what one of their bikes is worth.
They are nice bikes, to be sure
I'd love one.
But I'd have to sell it to get some HOUSING
which I haven't had for 2 years.
The visiting police got to hang on cruise ships
where the ship employees were paid $200 a month.
$75 million for 3 cruise ships.
For 75 mil they could have bought 2 warehouses and outfitted them like barracks,
and we'd still have those beds afterwards.
Instead we paid for a cop cruise that we can't keep.
I guess they deserve it.
They didn't beat anybody,
and they made sure most of the better activists
were in jail before the olympics came.
They were pleasant and good natured I guess.
We got lotsa camera's everywhere.
Add some function creep to those
and in a couple years they'll get to multiply
None in the rich areas of town though
interesting that...
Another 6 months and real estate
should finally pop its overloaded price point.
All those security guards can go back to being out of work
Too bad.
It really ups any lower class schmuck's life
to have a uniform, with badges, and a big flashlight.
Easiest way to make a serf feel special
let them lord it over the other serfs.
I guess the hockey was great.
I'm not brainwashed into the hockey cult
so I can't really say.
I don't think that one game was worth 12 billion
and nobody really is talking about anything else that went on.
It wasn't worth it for me.
Did you have a great time with it?
I spent the whole time scrounging for some food to eat and trying to keep dry.
YAY!!! Nationalism + Sports!
So inclusive.
All those jock-heads, they really are the cream of Canada
the pride of all. All that pride. So proud and vain.
Sports makes billions in profit
but we have to shell out for their venues
go figure
corporate welfare run amuck.
Just goes to show
the truth is that the white collar criminals
and misogynist queer bashing jock drunkards
always win
I thought it was ironic, as well
one homeless woman dies with a candle
and VANOC can overstep Canadian civil rights
unilaterally
Yet, nobody made any mention
of curtailing peoples right
to hurtle themselves down an expensive hill
on an expensive toboggan...
