Buying the food outside the stadium helps too. Water is less than half the price as inside. I usually get a sub from Subway and eat half in the early innings and half later.

ReplyI've rued rising costs for decades. Nothing seems to stop the relentless rise in player salaries which now average in the millions. Great for them, not so great for the fans who support them.
I'm going to a small market city (Pittsburgh) to see a game in early May. The tickets would cost $175 in Washington. In Pittsburgh, $40.

ReplyMy class just visited Tudor Place as a part of our yearly program there. We got so lucky to be there and touring the gardens while the archeologists were working. They kindly agreed to talk with the students and share about some of the artifacts they were finding. The students really benefited from the experience and I'm wondering what they included in the nightly journal entry about it.
Thanks again and again to Tudor Place for this program. Stoddert students have been going there multiple times per year for 5 years now. Talia and her staff (and everyone there) deserve a huge shoutout for their commitment to us!

I don't remember wading into the scope of government debate. I do maintain that many of the advocates of Austrian economics want to pretend that their ability and desire to profit doesn't adversely affect the lives of the unfortunate. They, ironically, are those with the deepest pockets who are capable of walling themselves away from mankind's miseries and protecting their interests with obscene amounts of lobbying expenditures (which completely unmasks their hypocrisy).

Mises, I'm familar with Hayek and Von Mises and all of the writers who have shaped your ideology. I agree with some of their points, but not all.
What I do not agree with is an anti-competitive, predatory system that seeks to insulate itself from the realities of poverty, disease, and war that so many lives are touched by. Anti-competitive, predatory business practices are ruining our capitalist system and the criminals behind them need to be called out, not bowed down to.

ReplyThe sequester would make more sense to me if America truly had money problems. There is plenty of wealth in America. The people with it simply do not want to part with it, and they want more while the other 95% of us get stuck with paying the bills every month. Beware the Gini Coefficient! Wealth and wage inequality is tearing the social, economic, and economic fabric of America.
