It seems to me that there are lots of people and business owners that don't seem to understand that our economy is, how shall I put this, in the crapper!
Over the last decade lots and lots of artificial wealth was created. All these business and people had created what, on paper, appeared to be massive wealth. One day all this massive wealth came crashing down and people and business owners realized they really didn't have anything, just fake, on paper wealth and none of it could be turned into real cash. Remember the old saying "Cash is King," well that is so very true.
So now most (there are still a few cash rich folks out there, but most are not) let me say it again, MOST people are living pay-check to pay-check and don't have a lot of "discretionary income" to be spending on things that are expensive for no reason whatsoever.
There are business and events that charge very high prices for things, not because they cost a great deal to make available to the general public, but because they want to line their pockets!
Now you might be saying to yourself right about now, "hey there Mr. Disenfranchised, what are you talking about?"
What I'm talking about is stuff that cost way, way more that is should or what it seems to be worth, that $45 steak at that fancy restaurant, the $48 admission price to the zoo, the $65 seats to the concert for a performer that hasn't put out a decent song or album in more than 10 years?
WTF, do these people (promoters, restaurants, performers, and business owners) think we are still made of money?
Profit and greed will drag this country down as long as people continue to believe that people will pay way, way more for things than they are worth.
