But how goods the economy!
It’s great! We have so many jobs! Look at how many that guy has, he must love jobs!
Lol! And now I’m wondering how people with multiple jobs are noted in national job/employment numbers…
The year is 2037, 97% of Americans live below the poverty line, yet employment is at an all time high with 273% having a full time job
This is 100% the argument that’s going to get Trump reelected. Democratic partisans can’t seem to grasp that it doesn’t matter how the economy is doing if it’s not working for the poor and middle class.
I mean voting Republican is about the only thing that would make it worse for the poor and middle class. Voters who vote for them expecting it to be better are, let’s say it nicely, not very well informed.
I wouldn’t argue that the Republicans are any better, but the problem here is the poor and working class are seeing their lot reduced no matter who they vote for, so it gets difficult to argue that one is better than the other from their perspective.
When looking at Biden and Trump, they don’t see a fascist or non-fascist, they just see change.
$9k median price for a Super Bowl ticket… what a fucking ripoff lmao.
I’m struggling to think of anything I’d pay $9000 to sit in bleachers and watch.
A Republican Battle Royale is all that comes to mind
Uh… Not bad…
Something I was wishing it would happen but didn’t that I would pay to watch and also bet on it would be the fight between Musk and Zuck and if you add Bezos on top of that man…
A good ol’ public execution would be satisfactory.
Have you considered therapy my dude?
I’ll consider it when those unhinged Republicans will.
Carlin supported this, good enough for me. At ~1 minute. https://youtu.be/dCLAugRyeMk?si=TWcxlL7zmQQNszX1
Yeah man… And some were complaining about the Taylor Swift prices, this in comparison makes them cheap.
This sounds like it could be part of that story where Bane occupies NYC. “Oh you spend 9k on superbowl tickets and you think you’re not my enemy?”
I call bullshit. Event bartending is creepy and abusive and horrible for many reasons, but it is very profitable.

Have you never ordered a beer at a stadium? They aren’t bartenders, they’re just counter employees.
While those little stands aren’t really bars, the people working there are generally bartenders doing some work on the side.
But no, I don’t care anything for sports, so I’ve never been on the other side if the transaction.
So in the same comment you say you both have no idea what you’re talking about, and that it’s perfectly fine that those people need two jobs just to make ends meet because they might make tips at one.
Got it.
I go to sporting events as a worker, not a customer. I know work things, not how comfortable the chairs are or whatever.
And if you think that a job where you work a handful of days every year should pay enough to live on year round by itself…I really don’t know what to tell you.

Weird, it’s almost like you just noticed that people who do that need an extra source of income because their primary job doesn’t pay them enough to make a living wage.
Congratulations, you’ve caught up to the entire point of the thread.

Not even close, and I know because I’ve worked those stands. The people that work those stands get one single 4 hour training at the beginning of the season to be “certified enough” to not get the stadium (or whoever owns the concession stands) sued. If you wanna pour or hand out beers, you take an extra 2 hour training on how to pour a nice big head on that Miller Lite and how to card everyone who looks under 60. If 2 hours of training makes me a bartender then I guess I’m incorrect, but I don’t think that’s the case.
That’s not been my experience. I submitted my state liquor cert to the staffing company and got some rudimentary training, but I was a bartender at a local place downtown, and the people I worked with were either current or former bartenders. Many were people who had the skills but were between jobs.
