Those are sunk costs...whether or not its raining they have to pay...they don't get a share of the money from the spectators either.

Well maybe coke or products like that, that people may buy there...but I doubt that Coke cares enough about that to have China make it stop raining....

Truthfully this is all pomp and show from their govt....not only are they trying to say see...look what we can do...but I think that they're really actually just trying to make sure that the Olympics go smoothly

None of that is worth the environmental damage they deliberately intend to engage in. Then again the communist government never gave a shit where it really mattered. At least the Soviets took some steps in the last couple decades. The communist Chinese government has contract our disease of getting hopped up on money.

You people are talking about china's plan to 'stop the rain' as if it's gonna cause all sorts of environmental catastrophes but your fucking eyes are off center. How about adjusting your focus to your own cloudy skies? Chemtrails have been experimented with since the early 90s and the fucking bush administration science division has been altering weather patterns in many places through winter months since 2002. Why the fuck do you think the skies are never clear in the winter? Global warming? Think again dumb asses. Oh I almost forgot, it's science when it comes to other governments but it's a 'conspiracy theory' when it comes to the u.s government. DAMNED you people are STUPID!
