The icing on the cake will be paying for all those fighter jets to fly over the stadiums.
Sometimes it’s hard having any civic pride here in Seattle. And I really miss the Sonics. But I will always be proud that the whole city, King county and state of Washington pretty much in unison told Clay Bennett to go fuck himself when he demanded taxpayers build a new arena for him in Seattle. Howard Schultz never recovered his reputation after how Sonicsgate went down.
it’s genuinely incredible that some cities can build these stadium monstrosities.
But can’t get any new housing built.
“Corrupt” doesn’t begin to explain it.
I hate this. Not one cent of my taxes should go to subsidizing grown men and women chasing around balls in various contexts.
Maybe if people actually started protesting and uniting against things like this.
Huh. I guess I should stop complaining that the only things being built in New Hampshire are self-storage businesses.
Socialize the costs and privatize the profits.
Great business model for the owners. Just happens to only be available to billionaires.
