Thank god we're spending hundreds of billions on a venue for billionaires and their teams, instead of on transit, infrastructure, etc.

Oh well, at least the profits from all ticket sales eill also go to those billionaires.

I love how much money taxpayers spend on this shit but it's the corpos that get to name the place.
