Thoughtful post Ben. I will take you to Rio in 2016, everything will be OK. I assure you it will be much better than Chicago.
Eh, I was just looking for a way to integrate that clip. The movie is fantastic. But if you want to usher me around Rio, I’m game. Let’s go! I guess my somewhat more realistic concern is that this opens the door for some pretty aggressive clean-up measures, as well as some pretty ugly corruption. Depends how it’s done, of course, but past experience suggests that some cities will raze their poor communities in the interest of putting on a pretty face.
To be frank, I think Rio was the best and the right choice. I’m just a little concerned that there will be a nasty ramp-up process.
It’s all good, just responding in kind.
You’re right, in the Eco-92 Conference in Rio they put the army in the street for 2 weeks, the drug cartels took a much needed vacation, left the city, and when the conference was over everything went back to “normal”. I think this time it will be better, it will be very good for the country too, but a lot of the existing problems and clean up won’t get pretty.
