Hey weird I see more than three pictures in the thumbnail even though for some reason tons of people on Reddit with week old accounts seem to be diving in to tell us all that only three people died making the stadiums!

2022 has been a year of blatant, obvious, overexposure to what global billions and power really means.

Musk, zuck, trump, GOP, Kanye West, fifa, bankers, all scumbags.

At some risk, we need to more loudly point out the hypocrisy of taking part in these things (FIFA events) to our friends and family.

I think we know what happened. We were warned this was going to happen before it did happen. There were estimates that thousands would die preping for the World Cup before a single project even started. Not to criticize the families for wanting information or those who went to Qatar for work. It's absolutely horrifying that no one with any power did anything to prevent what was obviously going to happen.

And they will never get answers. All Qatar had to do is punt the controversy stuff until kickoff. Now it will be forgot. This happened with Russia when they hosted. Also happened with the Rio Olympics. Sports and money beat human rights.

Damn I knew Qatar was bad but I didn’t realize they were going around killing whole families

'are waiting for answers' is a polite way of translating the 'fuck you we don't care' to a palatable response for middle class Americans.

Obviously the environment that created the horror ain't gonna fix it. I don't know why they need to wrap this in possibility and future accountability. Ain't gonna.

It's my understanding that Muslims are supposed to treat workers fairly.
