I get that. Sometimes people just need I relax and watch some football for entertainment to forget all that depressing stuff that is happening in the world. <\/p>\n<p>What I don&#8217;t like though is the two faced nature of events like this. <\/p>\n<p>For example: Rio gets an absurd amout of money to spend on renovating their soccer stadium. 300 million dollars. While a huge chunk of the population in the city are living in slums. I&#8217;m sure they could renovate the stadium for say&#8230; 150 million, and spend the rest on the people that need it more.<\/p>\n<p>But it doesn&#8217;t end there. Remember a few weeks before the World Cup when police decided to &#8220;clean up&#8221; some shanty towns in Rio because it made the city look bad? The police tore down these peoples homes and killed people to &#8220;clean up&#8221; the city.<\/p>\n<p>It seems like the world has their priorities all mixed up. So I decided to make a light hearted comic about it. I&#8217;m tired, it&#8217;s late an I am gonna stop ranting now. But I hope you still enjoyed the comic, dudes and dudettes!<\/p>\n<p>See you next Wednesday!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So the Soccer World Cup is in full swing and 95% of the world is mesmerized by grown men in shorts chasing each other on a patch if grass.
