Every single cent we earn from tourism is gonna be spent twice in over-budgeted projects invented by our corrupt government. The olympics are the perfect excuse they need to explain our insanely high taxes and to give a sense that "everything is allright", when clearly it's not. The only sports I have interest into are Mixed Martial Arts and Starcraft, and neither will be present. If you have any desire to come to Rio in 2016, you should be expecting INSANE traffic jams (already a problem, will be close to unbearable once the games start), robbery and crime of all kinds, brazilian locals trying to rip tourists out of their money because they think they are smart-asses, and of course, the uneducated brazilian crowd boo'ing at non-brazilian athletes and being assholes in general. If you're into this, prostitution and drugs are of unparalleled low prices compared to the rest of the world, so have fun. Rio can truly be a nice experience if you come here just to have fun for a couple of days. But living here is just plain terrible. I think I just have the absolute wrong mindset compared to most people in my country. I'm just hoping we don't come out of this looking even worse than we already do to the eyes of the outside world... ![[image loading]](http://img41.imageshack.us/img41/100/haued.jpg) | ||

EDIT: after all 80% of the investments will be in transportation and security infrastructure, but someone who just wants to hate wouldnt care to search for that, or wouldnt believe in it anyway. someone who just wants to hate, wont believe that even if they say they will do such things that it will be done, even with all the foreign oversight these events offer, because he is not in the business of getting an informed opinion. | ||

Governments are incompetent in dealing with money, and we have a specially corrupt and nationalist party currently in power. I'm not going to trust anything they say. I don't think they can do any good for me as a citizen. Lula would fuck anyone working with finance without thinking twice if he could, he thinks it's something "evil". Poor Lula. He NEVER read a book about economy before - just like the huge majority of people who try to discuss economy with me... You think I'm uninformed? I think you're pretty naive. But this topic is about cheering for Rio, so keep going... | ||

Get real man, even with money being stolen, its billions being injected into our economy, and infrastructure, along with tourism, and probably more security, anyway you look it, we will get better off in the long term. Its sad the the govt needs these special events to do their jobs, but if it helps motivate them to show proper work im all for it, and for all its worth, at the end of the day, we will have some stuff build to show off for the money spend. | ||
