Certainly the welfare draw cannot be overlooked in favor of ice fishing.

Another party thrown by the wealthy for the wealthy, paid for by the
working classes. No different than the Olympics and other ostentatious
publicly-funded events in that respect.

That concept is a good description of the demographics of a place like North Oaks. And indeed, Neanderthal Rednecks provide a lot of monetary funding for fiascos such major sporting events to be held in downtown Minneapolis.

No kidding. Unless we're all getting refunds on the various taxes we've had
to pay for stadiums and other "downtown" expenses, I really have to question
anybody who claims there is any value or economic benefit at all.

These days the only benefit sought by such ventures is EGOTISTICAL SELF-GRATIFICATION for the myriads of untraveled, rube local individuals who believe this _colony_ (not even truly a city or urban region) is such an oh-so-great place to live and work.

stadiums, no taxpayer-funded school sports subsidies, no overcharging
on cable to subsidize sport channels, and no taxpayer funding of
sports-related parties for the rich.
