Reply to comment by Achakita in [OC] Qatar's Migrant Deaths During FIFA World Cup Stadium Construction by Metalytiq
Absolute numbers work well here, they highlight the magnitude of the problem and put things in perspective. Qatar is posing as an advanced country, they should be aiming for zero harm like the West.
For context, in the UK, a country 20 times bigger than Qatar, there were 30 (THIRTY) construction industry deaths in 2021 (migrant or otherwise).
The magnitude of Qatar's incompetence and the contempt for migrant life is shocking and absolute numbers show that best. Each data point here was someone trying to make a decent living, losing their life just so the rich can get richer.
