Care to elaborate why you think Expo is less beneficial than the events listed in the comment you replied to?
- Jedd 9y agoThere are more than two categories. Grading the set objectively seems infeasible, and not very useful. I've lived in two cities as they hosted Olympics, but didn't attend either. I've been to a world expo. I've not been to a world cup or an F1 event (though I once worked in an office overlooking the F1). I think this Expo was a waste of resources. I suspect most TED conferences are not. I understand that Olympics, World Cup, F1 are highly lucrative for a handful of people, but typically a net negative for the host city / state. The corruption associated with at least two of those three is legendary, and well documented. If you would prefer to separate 'the event' from 'the corruption involved in the event', then good luck with that.
