Here is what $40 Billion gets you... LOL

Anyhow, most of my Chinese co-workers are saying that they should have used the money in helping the people. But how do you help billions and billions of people.

I thought the ceremony was beautiful and extravagant. I guess if they have one shot to make it to the world stage, then this is it...

This still does not make them a democracy and they still shoot and torture their people.

Congratulations for makeing themselves look good on the world stage.

But, what happens afterwards?

Never said it did. I guess it makes them a capitalistic imperial communist? IDK?

But I could use $40 billion and it would take me awhile to spend all of it...
