the really fucked up part is that the olympics were going quite smoothly, debt-wise. We went in knowing that there's a problem with getting into debt post-olympics and for the most part we were pretty smart about it. Sure, we spent a lot on security and maybe there were a couple of mishaps, but overall, things were looking ok and they are ok. We had one of the most fun olympics, everyone supported VANOC, the canada line is actually useful and it was looking as if we would come outta debt pretty soon.
But then some idiots who decided to put million-dollar furniture into the olymipc village housing got greedy and took us for a bunch of suckers. Seriously, when the athletes were living in the residencies, they were empty. Now they're fulla 250,000 dollar couches, located in a shitty area and being sold for way more than they should be.
That for me is the true sad part - that some greedy morons trying to profit off our 5 minutes of fame fucked it all up, using our money.
