I never said that it couldn’t. I’m aware. That sucks though sorry.

Not really, dude. A market is made up of customers; in the case of sports, those customers are… drum roll… fans?

Caught some hood rats trying to break into my car again yesterday, so, no, not really. Also, not sure why you think anything that’s happening in other states couldn’t happen here at any moment..

Yes, which goes to show you its not a blanket solution and even Canada struggles with affordability of their healthcare program, which is why they expanded MAID to include people with mental illness because it's cheaper for the government to kill them then support them

Please for the love of your money Retire down South. NC and SC are perfect for Northern Pensions.

Then they should have no problem raising the funds privately!
Maybe consider doing a Kickstarter?
I also can't wait to see all the tourists that are supposed to come in on the train to take a bus to downtown past downtown to this new stadium.
(For the record I'm fine with the train station. But the tourism justification was stupid. The reality is it's a commuter station. Which is okay. We needed it.)

The fans, what the fuck are you talking about? You understand that the fans and the market are completely different things, yeah?

Why are the fans in LA different than the fans in RI, in your opinion? Really interested in your honest answer to this question.

Single payer doesn’t mean that everything is covered.

Exactly. And exactly why would we want to spend more on another less popular sports franchise.

Wait a sec; Isn't Canada's Model a single payer system that's funded by the taxpayer?

Any more background on why they are proposing this? Seems like catering to special interests, but I’d be curious to know more about why this is being introduced. (Who really cares who has a wholesalers license?)

I refuse to believe that even a soccer fan could be such a mook that they can’t see the difference between the 2 markets.
If you actually read that article and understood what they were talking about you’d understand that that team is valued at 1 billion which doesn’t mean shit. Twitter was valued at 44 billion whe Elon bought it but makes next to no money. That team makes 8 million/year in profit according to the article and no one would pay 1 billion for it unless they had billions to throw away on a shitty investment with nearly 0 returns.
The good news for you and the dozens of fans you’ll be sharing the new stadium with is that you should be able to get really good seats for the couple years it’s open.

That’s literally happening in Canada right now with their MAiD program. People are choosing to end their lives early because they are worried about medical debts and some providers may encourage MAiD over hospice because hospice is more expensive.

I agree. I grew up on LI and didn’t see a lot of crime in my town even though I grew up in poverty. I’ve lived in the “safest” part of phoenix and there were home invasions daily (and I lived near all of the AZ cardinals players). Colorado was more of the same; safe, small town with lots of crime. I’m happy to be here that is for sure!

“Oh I wonder what HALF A MILLION DOLLARS can get me”
:: opens Zillow ::
- “Great fixer upper!”
- “Sold as tear down, lot only”
- “650sqft”
- literally a one room log cabin in the woods

They were fed up with lack of flavor, but craft beer is and has been less than 20% of the market. People still just want Budweiser or other macro lagers. IPA has dominated the market for over 30 years. I'm not saying diversity isn't great, but the average consumer won't order something they're unfamiliar with, it's just basic sociology.

This is a stupid comment and I hope it was made in bad faith because I have trouble believing anyone could be so clueless.
You’re not a baseball fan, right? Have you ever been to a Paw Sox game? How about a Red Sox game? Probably. Plenty of people in a market go to events that they are not really fans of. Do you understand now or do I need to dumb it down a little more?
