Iâve long supported the idea of a permanent location for the summer games - have a facility in Rome that can be used for other major events throughout the year.
People forget that before 1984, few countries were interested in hosting the summer games and fewer for the winter. Every games in modern history has gone over budget. It used to be that hosts could earn a profit but the IOC now takes the largest portion of TV revenue and itâs hard to turn a profit and harder to figure out what to do with facilities when things are done.
China and Kazakhstan were, literally, the only countries to try to bid on 2022. When US cities consider bids, citizens organize protests.
I predict that we are viewing the end of the modern Olympic movement and that the spectacle of countries coming together, etc, etc, etc is nearing an end (and eventually will be China hosting a handful of countries every four years).

Iâm all for the downfall of IOC.
It has sued small businesses with âOlympicâ, âOlympianâ, etc. in their firmâs name. Fuq 'em.

Two things that are illegal: Holocaust jokes, catching Covid.
Holocaust jokes arenât illegal. Not easy to pull off but itâs been done.
Intensive care bear care to share? 
They might not be illegal per se, but might as well be, seeing the result of telling one. Just like Covid vaccines are âvoluntary only,â yet one cannot be part of society or free without getting them.
That being said, some comedians are allowed to tell Holocaust jokes.
Western society mostly. Heck Taiwan itself has had a lot of nazi displays by students over the years.
Plus not a problem in most of the muslim
World.

Like black jokes perhaps only forgivable if a Jewish comedian were to touch on it
Black jokes tend to be accepted if the comedian is black
They can call themselves the N word and itâs often a term of endearment but non blacks even mentioning the N word is often found offensive

The Taiwanese students really didnât understand the horrors of WW2 and what the NAZi did
They just thought the uniforms look SICK (to use the modern vernacular where SICK means Way Cool).
And, on the other side, the Rising Sun flag doesnât mean as much to younger generations in the US as a Nazi flag, for instance.
However, aside from all that, comedians should be able to joke about anything. Doesnât mean it will be funny. Doesnât mean that people will laugh. However, to be dismissed for a joke over twenty years earlier is something that I will universally oppose, regardless of what was said.

Everyone who wants to be someone should not say anything on social media that can be used against them in the future or do anything
Because once you are someone many will dig up all sorts of. Stuff
