Munich will make a big initial loss bidding and getting the Olympics. But are there longer term benefits?
REASONS why voting for the Munich Olympic bid is good for 'everyone'.

Because..
- We'll get infrastructure that we're getting anyway.
- it's good for Munich's prestige. Which is already sky high with top companies, shows, conferences, cultural events and tourism.
- Huge profits for some local(?) businesses for a few weeks.
- It'll bring in some Federal money. Which must be taken away from other, more needy causes.

It seems the Olympics in Munich only benefits the selfish and greedy.

With Telegram you don't have to share your phone number or contacts. And you have no user name/ID unless you choose to create one. As that is useful to share 'instead' of your phone number.

Yes. I'm a keen mapper on HOT. It's great to be able to help less fortunate and often desperate people, and the humanitarian agencies, from the comfort of your home.
And while working with the satellite imagery you also get to know what the area is like in distant communities. Traditional dwellings and often no paved roads. And sometimes vast distances to the next village.
