2016 in Rio.
Posted by nico under: Life as we know it .
I have the deepest love for my city Chicago, but I have also been a long time opponent of Chicago getting the 2016 Olympics. The main reason being that I believe time and resources need to be spent on education and after school opportunities for our youth rather than padding Daley’s ego. Today I actually read a post that someone wrote about how sorry they were for the people they’ve known who have spent years preparing for this bid.
Tell you what bidders…let’s channel that energy & money towards our youth. What? You say that’s not profitable? I beg to differ. Not only is it profitable to ensure the safety and success of our youth, it is extremely damaging and expensive for our society to ignore these students and push them aside. Sure, that means that you’ll have to start treating these students as human beings and equals to yourselves, but you don’t have a problem with that, right?
