Prices going down seems like good news to me. Are you thinking this equates to jumping up and down cheering and waving pompoms for a company and forgiving all their unforgivable evil misdeeds and sucking their dick? Cuz it doesn't. It just means lower prices are good news.
People tend to shit on good things just because they hate the people in charge of the decision.
We should celebrate bad people doing good things instead of flaming them for it. We want them to keep making good decisions, right?
Except this feels less of a "we're lowering prices out of the goodness of our hearts because they were too high all along" vibe and more of a "the working class has been nearly suffocated under the boot of capitalism but we need to keep you alive to extract the remaining pennies" vibe.
"After charging you $80 dollars for a night out, we have dropped it to $60. Please clap."
slow clap wooo you are charging only 100% profit on those goods in a completely closed high-security environment, good on you for not price gouging as much anymore!!!
Yeah, steps in the right direction are steps in the right direction.
Previous practice outrageous? Yup. New practice awesome? Yup. It's ok to recognize both.
I feel like it'd be a miserable life if you took the negative part of this story and ran with that instead of the more positive side.
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.
I went to go check seat prices because I was sure this was an attempt to use low food prices to get people to buy expensive seats. I was pleasantly surprised to find 30 dollar seats.
