Qatar World Cup: over 900 workers died already, could be as high as 4000 by kick off

RE: Qatar World Cup: over 900 workers died already, could be as high as 4000 by kick off
I saw this type of thing in Saudi Arabia. They treated foreign workers as bad as they could get away with - which often was dependent on which country the worker was from. I knew a lot of guys from British Aerospace over there. One of them decked one of the Mutawah (religious police) - knocked him out, cold. He was on a plane back to the UK the next day, deported. If it had been a Filipino or such, the offender wouldn't have been on a plane - he would have been in a jail cell and may have never come out.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
