Taxpayers paid $850 million for a new Buffalo Bills stadium.
The cheapest price for a home ticket this coming season?

Buffalo Bills fans enraged by 'outrageous' ticket costs at new stadium — where cheapest seats are $700
Die-hard Buffalo Bills fans are bashing “outrageous” ticket prices to see a home game at the team’s flashy new Highmark Stadium – with the cheapest seats selling for $700.

No matter how outrageous, how despicable, how utterly unconscionable something is, if it’s backed by some semblance of power and/or money there will be some douchebag journalist somewhere who will write it up as if it were just another Wednesday.
And this, partly, is why the world is fucked.

I am against capitalism due to its inefficiency when trying to maximize quality of and time for living. People working to make a product that breaks due to planned obsolescence on one side, and people working to afford the constantly breaking things on the other. Meaningless busy work ridding people of purpose.
I see the fight against capitalism not just as one for humane conditions, but also as a fight for allowing purpose and people to coexist instead of clash.
