Do you know the scale of the hit on your taxes for the Olympics? That they are going to be "small"? I don't, have they estimated or presented that yet? Honest question, have they shown that publicly say like through property tax increases until 2026?
Eh? Is this directed at me? Like I said, I saved up and spent tens of thousands of dollars just to go a single Olympics.
Frankly, the nebulous dismissal of determining the actual size of costs and benefits seems like a good way to end up with a lot of debt and grossly overpriced items you don't need; as you say.
Why? Ummm, okay. I don't know what you have against iPhones. Or are you for iPhones? I have no idea where you were going with that. But anyhow, go Android! Pew Pew!  |
My post wasn't directed at you, it was a response to an article about profiting from the olympics.
I know about the real cost as much as you do about the overruns, we just put faith in our gut feeling. No right or wrong answer.
