Anybody can look like an ogre in a freeze frame. Unfortunately, I have that certain ability to look like that all the time.

“If the free market dictates that there are people willing to pay $2000 for a rare item then so be it.”

I’m not a CPA, so maybe someone can answer this. If a business buys one of these tickets or package deals and either gives them to a valued client, or as a reward to an employee for services rendered (eg. top salesman), can the company write the tickets off as a business expenditure? If so, it sounds like Joe Average whose priced out of the game also has to make up the difference with his own taxes. Is this correct?

It's crony fascism/capitalism.

In Houston the city paid $300million to build a football stadium (also used for concerts, rodeo and other events). The football team owner then sold the naming rights to OUR stadium for $300million to the local power company (that funds it from local electric rates) and got to keep the money.

Rape my wallet, please.
