I can sort of identify with those sympathies, but I still enjoy watching. There is so much to be done. I have become so disenchanted with the OC and all the stinking fraud. I feel the same about the UN, and I won;t go into that, but they are supposed to help, and they don’t much.
I do think when Rio was chosen, it was a bit more prosperous. But not enough to pull this off.
For a long time, I have thought government money should be used not so much for circuses, but for bread. Parks and enjoyment are wonderful, but making sure people have clean water, and a safe environment is far more important.
Money needs to be spend on needs and when so much of your population is desperate, probably illiterate, living in such poverty as would sicken most Americans, but instead the greased wheel of graft goes on.
I love our Olympic team, and I am proud of them win, lose or draw. But I prefer to use non government money to support them. I have been reading on other threads about team funding, and how even though some of us want eventing out of the OG, it would absolutely decimate funding. I love eventing, but it is so expensive. I guess X4 with driving. They need to park it in one place, or two, and not have all this endless spending, graft, corruption.
I shall Cease babbling now. As you were
