Fortunately for Gianni, a $30 billion loss technically counts as “economic impact” just the same as a $30 billion windfall would.

FIFA president Gianni Infantino has regularly cited claims that the World Cup will have a $30 billion “economic impact” in the U.S., but a significant portion of this projected impact relies on tourists piling into the country during the tournament.

What? How? After all Pedohitler did to make sure every non-american gets the best accommodations in specially built resorts where you can be with those closer to you and treated with a unique service?! How strange...
