CitizenVectron Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 Apparently vaccine mistrust in Japan is very high, with some polls putting confidence in vaccines (as a concept!) at only 30%. Japan is a weird place. The Olympics (modern, not old-timey naked wrestling) were a mistake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Choose a different host country each time and the host gets to decorate and plan out some cultural activities. That way they can stop the cycle of of building stadiums that will just be demolished/abandoned each cycle. But of course, the whole point of the Olympics is grift, so that would never work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is entirely the best thing. It would also bring a constant cycle of tourism dollars to Greece to spread the investment out over the years. A fund could be established paid for in part by host countries, but also in part by the IOC (lol) to keep the costs from being entirely on the back of the host. And we should do the same in some winter city as well. I have no idea what the best option for the winter olympics would be in terms of location.
