Oh, really? And just how do they do that? They certainly don't build any. Nor do they pay taxes so that the government may construct and/or repair them.

Interesting. Desiring a living wage, one that doesn't require government assistance to feed their families, pay their rent, or heat their homes, is the major cause of inflation.
I will quote again, because it has universal and timeless relevance:

Now I bet the real fans who only want it because it came from Jeter while they watched him sign it will keep lining up for the experience. I get paying extra for an experience. Kinda like the $12 soda at the game. It is just part of the price of the experience.
