    No bread , all circuses

    I’ve been saying a variation for the past year or a bit longer “Circuses are cheap, bread is expensive”
    That’s why we have so much entertaiment, but no housing.

      Except the circuses AREN’T cheap anymore either, what with the likes of Ticketmaster/Live Nation making it so a concert ticket costs as much as a car and the NFL’s only goal being to maximize the profits of the team owners.

      Just to use the examples directly related to the billionaire and multimillionaire depicted.

        Yeah, you’re right. I’m talking more about the clown shows in the news and political systems. Although a netflix subscription or a phone plan is a lot cheaper than a mortgage, and the boomers love to say that the computers and internet are why we can’t have houses.

        Watching this idiot lipsync after flying in to a concert you paid a month’s wage for is a fucking insult.
