February 11, 20242 yr The Olympics (and other billion dollar sports schemes) are gifts that keep on delivering debt and misfortunate to the communities holding the bag. There are numerous Olympic infrastructure graveyards throughout the world. Meanwhile the Bears want to stick Chicago taxpayers with $625M debt bomb while fleeing and keeping our city name wherever they plop their carpetbag. We are so fortunate Chicago came in dead last in Daley's 2016 Olympic grift scheme, after pawning off our parking meters and Skyway for a penny, if that, on the dollar.
