Qatar said 500 migrant workers died constructing the stadium that hosts the 2022 World Cup soccer games. This is most likely a low figure. Building the Hoover Dam caused the death of 96 people. While the Hoover Dam has been generating life saving electricity for almost 100 years, the soccer stadium in Qatar will probably be left unused after the tournament like so many construction projects for major sporting events including the Olympics. Life is cheap, and increasing so these days.

I live in Austria and in my country, we have a union of unions. They are all working together and bind their ressources when negotiating working conditions and payment. They even represent you in legal issues when you don't have ressources for a lawyer, they support public health care systems, protect your rights as a tenant if you pay rent... They basically work for the wellbeing of the people. The gov doesn't give a flying shit about us, they are all in the pockets of criminals, and we don't really have a democratic system, but the unions managed to give us pretty good lives
