Qatar to be stripped of the 2022 World Cup

[Greenstrings]

because its inaccurate.

a lot of people have died, and the sum is absurd but not that high.

It's incredible how western media has been able to get away with what is essentially a lie.

These workers aren't all building World Cup facilities, however. In fact most of them aren't.

A lot of them are construction workers building - well, pretty much anything that needs to be built around Qatar.

Another factor that needs to be taken into account is that, according to one estimate, a third of migrant workers in Qatar don't even work in construction. The ITUC, though, is counting the deaths of workers in any line of work and from any cause, including road accidents and heart attacks.

But the Indian Government says in a press release: "Considering the large size of our community, the number of deaths is quite normal."

The point officials are making is that there are about half a million Indian workers in Qatar, and about 250 deaths per year - and this, in their view, is not a cause for concern. In fact, Indian government data suggests that back home in India you would expect a far higher proportion to die each year - not 250, but 1,000 in any group of 500,000 25-30-year-old men. Even in the UK, an average of 300 for every half a million men in this age group die each year.

How was this allowed to become the dominant narrative when it is so stunningly false?

Slaves always die for nothing, from the slaves' perspective. The entire affair is such an absurd amplification of the human condition that I have to back away and stop thinking about it.

I think the idea that a revote for hosting rights would magically lead to USA/Australia/England winning is odd.

You cant repay multi-million dollar bribes on layaway

I had no idea it was this bad. Losing the cup isnt good enough. Thats a given. FIFA officials should be held responsible for these deaths. Their greed led to this.
