Have the financial teams of these agencies looked over over the bill before paying? Isn't that common practice -- understanding what you are paying for?

Not fazed at all by this. The Olympics, first and foremost, is a business. It exists to make money.

Sports excellence and amateur sports success are secondary goals that come after making money.

The business side of every Olympics is crooked.

Reply to Indoor agriculture has sustainable potential to feed Canada, others, year round: experts by pirate_republic

People have been saying this for years. Build in rundown rural or urban areas, build indoor agriculture buildings that are multi-level. It ain't cheap, but with the way climate change is going, parts of normally arable land around the world will become flooded or affected by drought, or will be paved over by developers.

We need to invest in innovative ways to feed our population in our new world. Indoor agriculture, lab-grown everything, land-based seafood and ocean agriculture are the future.
