It's nice to see some follow up just to confirm how bad it was and that just like everyone thought nothing did or was ever going to change. All big international events like the World Cup and the Olympics are cripplingly expensive boondoggles if you don't already have the right infrastructure in place (and even then it makes 0 sense as anything other than a "prestige" thing), and Qatar is just an especially agreggiosu example of that.
