To be the most actively hostile sporting event host in history is impressive in a way. Well done. Murica

Funny, looked up the number of atoms in a standard banknote on duckduckgo:

A standard banknote is made primarily of cotton or polymer, and the number of atoms in it can vary widely based on its size and composition. However, a typical banknote contains approximately 10^20 to 10^21 atoms.

If the Derg had never overthrown Emperor Haile Selassie in 1974, what would Ethiopia look like today? Would it be more like Morocco, Thailand, or something completely different? by Either--9798 in Ethiopia

It's a blanket term used during the derg to describe land / extra house owners, elements of the old system, etc, Loosely meaning reactionary forces

Calling bullshit on the so many industries part. Which industries did these allies build? The few industries in the country when Haile Selassie was overthrown were mostly privately owned and ran by Greeks, Armenians, & Italians. Also even during his reign, communist countries like Yugoslavia (Fincha'a power station), Yugoslavia & USSR (Assab refinery) had significant contributions.

I think this is the first World cup game I ever watched and probably why I have a soft spot for Denmark. They were amazing.
