IMinneapolis ineeNdawo zayo zoSeto ekubanjweni kweMiboniso yeHlabathi ye-2023

Njengokuba ukusasazwa kweendaba kwiveki ephelileyo kwakulawulwa ziinzame zeRiphabhlikhi yeNdlu yokuqhaqha i-Obamacare, inyathelo elinomdla elibizwa ngokuba I-United States ifuna ukukhuphisana noMthetho weMiboniso yeHlabathi (HR 534) ngokuzolileyo yenza indlela kuzo zombini izindlu zeCongress, bonwabile ngenkxaso enkulu ye-bipartisan. Isayinwe yangumthetho izolo nguMongameli uDonald Trump ngento encinci, umlinganiso unenjongo enye elula: ukugunyazisa unobhala welizwe lase-US ukuba afake amaphepha ayimfuneko ukuze i-US iphinde ibuyele kwi-Bureau of International Expositions (BIE), e-Paris Ibhodi ebeka isohlwayo kuzo zonke iiFair World.

Kutheni ngoku? Kungenxa yokuba i-U.S. Ibeke izinto zayo ekusingatheni iMiboniso yeHlabathi ye-2023, kwaye i-BIE iya kuthatha isigqibo sokuba leliphi ilizwe elifumana imbeko yokubamba kamva kulo nyaka.

I-Fairs yeHlabathi yinto enkulu kwilizwe eliphumelela amalungelo okusingathwa. Cinga ngabo njengeeOlimpiki zamanye amazwe zeshishini kunye nenkcubeko kodwa ngokuhamba kwemali okuninzi kunye nabaphulaphuli abaninzi kakhulu. Ngokomzekelo, uMboniso owawuseShanghai ngowama-2010 wawungumcimbi weenyanga ezintandathu owawutsala iindwendwe ezingaphezu kwezigidi ezingama-70.

I-Fairs zehlabathi zihlala zithengiswa njenge-Expos, kwaye zibonelela amazwe ngamathuba amaninzi okuzithengisa ngaphakathi kweentengiso ezinkulu zamava okuthengisa ezijolise ekubalulekeni kokubaluleka kwelizwe ngalinye, ngelixa abaxhasi beenkampani bevela ekhaya bexhamla ithuba lokubonisa izinto zabo ezintsha, ubuchwepheshe, iimveliso kunye namathuba oshishino. Ikwayindawo efanelekileyo yeebhodi zabakhenkethi kuzwelonke ukutyhala ii-ajenda zabo zenkcubeko nezokuhamba. Ziijaggernaut zenkcubeko nezoqoqosho. Ngapha koko, umboniso wango-1967 eMontreal waba yimpumelelo kangangokuba wanxulunyaniswa ngonaphakade nesixeko xa igama Ukwandiswa kweqela labo leMidlalo yeLigi enkulu, Ukubonakaliswa kweMontreal , Emva komsitho.

I-US ivumele ubulungu bayo kwi-BIE ukuba iphele kwii-2000s zakuqala, kwaye ngaloo nto, yaphulukana nelungelo lokusingatha iiFair zeHlabathi. Inkqubo ye- I-United States ifuna ukukhuphisana noMthetho weMiboniso yeHlabathi ijolise ekubuyiseleni i-US kumxube ngoba inezinto zayo ezibekwe ekuphumeleleni amalungelo okusingatha umboniso weHlabathi ka-2023 eMinneapolis, eMinn. Olu lusuku olubalulekileyo kuthi sonke ekudala sikhuthaza ukubuyiswa kwee-Fairs zehlabathi e-United States, utshilo uManuel Delgado, ongusihlalo we-ExpoUSA, elinye lamaqumrhu ebelilwela i-US World's Fair kule minyaka idlulileyo. Ukuba yinxalenye ye-BIE kuthetha ukuba iidolophu ngaphesheya kweMelika-ukusuka eMinneapolis ngo-2023 ukuya eSan Francisco, ePhiladelphia, eHouston, kunye nabanye abaninzi abaza kuza-baya kuba nakho ukubamba ii-Expos zexesha elizayo kwaye bonwabele izibonelelo zenkcubeko, zemfundo nezoqoqosho ezingummangaliso.

Kukho ingqiqo enamandla emva kokukhetha ukusingatha i-Expo kwilizwe lama-10,000 amachibi (okuza kwenzeka kwiinyanga zasehlotyeni, njengoko abaququzeleli bekhawuleza ukubonisa). Umxholo ocetywayo we-US '2023 Expo bid yimpilo kunye nokuba sempilweni, ukudlala kumandla eMinnesota njengeziko lesizwe kwezempilo, itekhnoloji yezonyango kunye neenkampani zesondlo. IMinnesota kukhathalelo lwempilo kunye netekhnoloji yezonyango njengoko iSilicon Valley ikwiziko lobuchwephesha nakwi-intanethi, utshilo uMark Ritchie, umongameli kunye ne-CEO yeKomidi yeBhidi yeHlabathi yeBhidi eMinnesota kunye nowayengunobhala welizwe waseMinnesota. Iintloko-zamazwe, iintsapho zasebukhosini kunye nabona bantu badumileyo ehlabathini beza eMinnesota ukuba bafumane unyango kuba ngokuqinisekileyo sinezona zibhedlele zihambele phambili, amaziko ophando lwezempilo kunye neenkqubo zonikezelo lonyango kwihlabathi-imfihlo encinci esingathandiyo ukuyigcina. imfihlo kwakhona.

Iphawulwe njenge-Expo 2023 e-USA-eMinnesota enomxholo othi Abantu abasempilweni, iPlanethi eseMpilo: Impilo-ntle kunye nokuPhila Kubo Bonke, i-bid yase-US okwangoku ikwi-bid kunye neebhaso ezikhuphisanayo ezivela eLodz, ePoland (ziququzelelwe zijikeleze umxholo ongacacanga obizwa ngokuba sisiXeko esiHlaziyiweyo. ), kunye neBuenos Aires (ngenqaku elibonakala ngathi lijolise ekukholiseni wonke umntu ngemixholo yendalo iphela yeSayensi, ubuGcisa, ubuGcisa kunye nokuYila). I-Rio de Janeiro yayiqhubekile de ikomiti ye-bid yaseBrazil yaphelelwa ngamandla kutshanje. (Imidlalo yeOlimpiki, iNdebe yeHlabathi enye kunye nomongameli ongenamsebenzi kwisithuba seminyaka emithathu kuhlala kunesiphumo kwilizwe.)

Ukujoyina i-BIE kuseta inqanaba kungekuphela kwibhidi yaseMinnesota, kodwa kwezinye iiFairs zeHlabathi ezibanjelwe kumhlaba wase-U.S. Kwikamva elingekude kangako. IHouston, iSan Francisco, iPhiladelphia neLos Angeles bonke bavakalise umdla wokufumana imisebenzi yokubamba i-Expo ezantsi kwendlela, kodwa kude kube ngoku, ukungabikho kobulungu kwi-BIE yayingumqobo omkhulu. Ukujoyina i-Bureau ye-International Expositions kuvulela indlela yokuba sikhuphisane kwinqanaba lokudlala kunye neebhaso ezivela ePoland naseArgentina. Okubaluleke ngokulinganayo, oku kwenza ukuba zonke ezinye iidolophu ezijikeleze iUnited States zibhide ukusingatha umboniso wexesha elizayo, wongeza uRitchie.

Umphathi wase Minnesota u-Mark Dayton, ubukhosi be-Target ethengisa ubukhosi kwaye enye yeenkokheli zopolitiko ezaziwa kakhulu ngurhulumente kule minyaka idlulileyo, ube ngumxhasi welizwi kumzamo wobulungisa welizwe. Ngokuvunyelwa ngumongameli, impumelelo yale veki ithatha iMinnesota inyathelo elinye ukusondela kwi-Fair's yokuqala ye-United States kwiminyaka engamashumi amathathu. I-Expo 2023 izakuzisa izigidi zabakhenkethi kwilizwe lethu kwaye zikhanyise indawo ebonakalayo kumacandelo ezonyango kunye netekhnoloji yaseMinnesota, utshilo uSukuton. Ngokubalulekileyo, omnye wabaqeshi bebhidi ye-Minnesota ukunciphisa iindleko zangaphambili ngokusebenzisa izibonelelo esele zikhona kunye nokwandisa ingeniso kwintengiso yamatikiti, imithombo yeendaba yedijithali yemithombo yolwazi kunye neerhafu zepropathi enomgangatho ophezulu wokuqonda-imodeli yeshishini eyaziwayo kakhulu kubantu baseMinnesota emva kwesicelo se-Expo. I-Minnesota State Fair, yesibini enkulu kwezi ndibano zidibeneyo zonyaka kwilizwe liphela e-U.S. malunga nokuzimasa, sisiganeko esiphambili esiqhutywe kakuhle kwaye senza ingeniso minyaka le ukusukela oko yasekwa kwiminyaka eyi-150 eyadlulayo.

Njengoko kunjalo ngenkqubo yokhetho lweKomiti yeOlimpiki yeHlabathi (i-IOC), kukho inkqubo edlala kwi-BIE apho abameli bamazwe abhideyo kufuneka bababize abathunywa bombutho abasuka kwamanye amazwe angama-167 angamalungu. Nangona kunjalo, ukuze i-US ibhide ukuya phambili, abaququzeleli beMinnesota Expo kufuneka boyise umqobo wokugqibela: Ngokungafaniyo nezinye izizwe ezifuna ukuphumelela amalungelo okusingatha umboniso, urhulumente wase-US akazukusebenza njengesiqinisekiso semali sayo nayiphi na iMiboniso yeHlabathi ye-US. . Inkqubo ye- I-United States ifuna ukukhuphisana noMthetho weMiboniso yeHlabathi Icacisa gca ukuba yonke inkxaso-mali yomsitho kufuneka ivele kuphela kwimithombo yabucala. Eli lungiselelo linokuthintela zonke ii-bid zase-US ezikhoyo nezizayo, zibabeka emngciphekweni ocacileyo kumazwe afana ne-UAE okanye i-China, ethi yabele izixa ezikhulu zezixhobo zikarhulumente ukuqinisekisa ukuba imisitho ihamba kakuhle. (Kuyaqondakala ukuba, akukho politiki wase-US ofuna ukuba achaze ukuba kutheni irhafu yomhlawuli werhafu ityalwa imali ekwakheni iindawo zokubonisa kwiRiphabhlikhi yaseMoldova kwaye angaxhasi amagqala omelekileyo okanye akhe iindlela ezinkulu eziwayo.)

Kukho umba omkhulu ojamelene ne-BIE ngaphandle kokuthatha isigqibo sokuba leliphi ilizwe eliza kufumana amalungelo okusingathwa kweMiboniso yeHlabathi ka-2023. Njengokuba abathunywa bamazwe angamalungu e-BIE belungiselela ukuhlangana kwisiXeko sezibane ukumamela iindawo zokugqibela ezivela e-US, eArgentina nasePoland, kufuneka bakuthathele ingqalelo umbuzo onzima kakhulu: Ngaba i-BIE iyafuna ukuya kwinkxaso mali yezemali yabucala. imodeli, efuna ukunyanzelwa kwamashishini kwaye ibe yinxalenye yokuthengisa uphawu lweenkampani zehlabathi, okanye ngaba yanelisekile ngokuthotywa njengomboniso wendlela ophindaphindiweyo omisa kuphela kwizikhululo zamazwe amancinci kunye nokuyalela uqoqosho olukulungeleyo ukuhlawula ityala? Ukhetho oluzayo lwe-BIE yesixeko esiya kubanjwa kwi-Expo 2023 ayizukubonisa kuphela ukubambana phakathi kwe-US, iPoland neArgentina, kodwa ngokubanzi, iya kunyanzela abathunywa be-BIE ukuba bacinge ukuba loluphi uhlobo lwemodeli yezoqoqosho- kurhulumente okanye kwicandelo labucala- baya kuqesha kuzo zonke iiFairs zeHlabathi ezizayo.

Ibhidi yaseMinnesota iya phambili kwaye inenkxaso eyomeleleyo evela kuluhlu olukhulayo lwezempilo zikarhulumente, itekhnoloji yezonyango kunye neenkampani zesondlo, kubandakanya iMedtronic, iGeneral Mills, iBlue Cross Blue Shield kunye neMayo Clinic eyaziwayo kwihlabathi liphela. Abadlali besizwe abasele bebhodi baquka uRobert Wood Johnson Foundation-eyona nto inkulu yesizwe kwezoluntu-kunye neFedEx. Ngokubaluleke ngokulinganayo yimithombo ebanzi yenkxaso yemali, evela kungekuphela kwiinkampani zeFortune 500 kodwa nakwimibutho yabasebenzi, imibutho yabathengi kunye neearhente zokhenketho, ngezicwangciso zokwakha uthungelwano lwenkxaso njengoko ibhidi iqhubeka. Imbopheleleko yebhidi yaseMinnesota, kunye nazo zonke iibhidi zase-US ezizayo, ziya kuba kukubeka uluhlu olumangalisayo lwabaxhasi bezemali abanokudlala indima yokuba ngumqinisekisi weFair World's Fairs, kunye nendlela yolawulo olomeleleyo evela kumphathi ikomiti.

Kuyacaca ngokucacileyo ukuba ikamva le-Fairy-sanction World's Fairs kuya kufuneka lisekwe kwimodeli entsha enqamleza inkxaso yenkampani kunye nobuchule bolawulo lwekomiti yokubamba. Ngaphandle koko, i-BIE iyakufumanisa kunzima ngakumbi ukufumana amabhidi okhuphiswano kuqoqosho oluphucukileyo oluye lwabona le micimbi ingezizo iintsika ezisisiseko zekratshi lelizwe njengoko babekade besenza, kodwa ngenxa yento eziyiyo ngoku: urhwebo lwehlabathi kwi-steroids. Ngapha koko, ukubhala sele kuseludongeni: eFrance ibhidi ye-2025 yeHlabathi yeHlabathi yeLungelo, njengebhidi yaseMinnesota, icwangciselwe ukuba ixhaswe ngokupheleleyo ngemali yecandelo labucala.

Ngethamsanqa i-U.S kunye nabaququzeleli be-Expo 2023 i-USA-Minnesota, imodeli yesiko le-BIE yokuthembela kwimali zikarhulumente ukuqinisekisa ukuba le micimbi mikhulu ayikhange ibe nayo ngaphandle kwemiceli mngeni. IMilan Expo yango-2015 yonwabela ukuxhaswa ngurhulumente ngurhulumente wase-Itali, kodwa isabeneengxaki zayo zemali. Lo mdlalo weqonga ukhokele abathunywa beBIE abaninzi ukuba baqwalasele ukuba ngaba ukuxhaswa kwamazwe aphesheya ayisiyondlela ebhetele ekuthembeleni kwinkxaso mali karhulumente.

Ngokukhawuleza ngokubhekisele kwi-bid ye-2023 yase-US, i-BIE kuyakufuneka yenze i-gut-check ngokukhawuleza kwaye izibuze ukuba ingaba inokholo ngakumbi kumandla e-America kunye ne-18 yezigidigidi zeedola kuqoqosho lwase-US, isiqinisekiso esizimeleyo sePoland (eyayinekhredithi yayo inqanaba waqhekezwa Ngu-Standard & Poor kunyaka ophelileyo), okanye inkxaso kurhulumente wase-Argentina (ojinga kumda wokuwa ngokukhululekileyo kwezezimali ukunyuka kwamaxabiso Amanqanaba ekulindeleke ukuba apase iipesenti ezingama-20 kulo nyaka kunye nokukhula kwenyani kwe-GDP.)

Akukacaci ukuba i-BIE iza kuvota njani, kodwa irabha izakubetha kwindlela ngoJuni 14 xa iKomiti yeBhidi yeHlabathi yeBhidi eMinnesota iza kwenza intetho yayo yokugqibela kwi-BIE eParis. Ukhetho lokugqibela luya kubhengezwa ngoNovemba.
