Way more than thousands, given the widespread economic effects on the ~~victim~~ hosting country.

Speaking as a Greek, 20 years later there are literally still multiple abandoned world-class sporting facilities, unused, in maximum disrepair. Some like the one outside my town never used even once (Olympics included), after millions of euro spent.

I hope the homeless can use it for shelter at least, though it's in a pretty inconvenient spot anyway.

I felt like putting millions at first, but thought a bunch of people might try to argue with me, so I thought, no one can deny it fucks over thousands of people at least.

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
