The FIFA World Cup is a massive shakedown. FIFA makes billions, host countries and cities share all the financial burdens and risks, and tens of thousands of people are nevertheless lining up to provide free labor as volunteers. 🤯

Well, having never been a Twitter/X user, this is all new to me. But thanks for the encouragement!

Trying to learn how to make this platform work. It’s going to be a learning curve but glad we have options.

Happy belated Birthday!
