Cancel the world cup. Education is way more important than costly distractions.

At this point a lot of the budget has already been used. Cancelling now you wouldn’t have any of the returns from tourism etc.

Each sensible country nowadays figured that all those Olympics and World Cups are now simply an enormous money sink and dick measuring contest for authoritarian hellholes, hence the protests in all somewhat sensible countries before each one.

And I wouldn’t even go into massive corruption of all these international sports committees, with president of FIFA, Gianni Infantino specifically also being a fucking tone-deaf degenerate.

Just roll in the TV for your country’s games. It’s only 90min.
