This was in upliftingnews but imo, they've been overcharging for years and now they're framing this as a feel good story (slrpnk.net)

I mean... people like you are part of why shitty things stay shitty. If that's how you want to live you can, but this patronizing sense of superiority you seem to feel is what hurts society.

"How I want to live", or how I actually live, is by not paying exorbitant prices at events like this (or exorbitant prices elsewhere).

I'll go eat somewhere actually tasty before a game. In other areas I'm fairly frugal, as well.

Mobilizing some movement with enough people putting on an embargo to lower prices? Not even gonna try.

I do, think the OP is a step in the right direction and I'll focus on that. I understand everything, in general, is too expensive.
