Maybe it is me but….. I just saw where  MLB is reviewing minor league contracts. Considering a 38- 72% raise. Do you get that kind of raise at your 12 month a year job? I don’t! NFL bench players get $295k and practice squad players get $129.2k. How many jobs for the average person can command that salary.  And professional sports salaries are off the charts.

On to politics- Bernie Sanders supposedly raised $25 million in January 2020 alone. Bloomberg has spent over 200 million on ads for his campaign! Steyer has spent approximately 141.1 million. Trump’s grass roots movement and RNC has raised over 300 million.

Now let’s imagine how that money could be better spent! There is a severe homeless crisis  and there are people and families living at or below poverty levels throughout the US. NYC Housing Authority can’t maintain heat and hot water. NJ property taxes are out of control pushing people to leave the state! Infrastructure is deteriorating in the Greater NYC Northeast area. Families rendered homeless due to natural disasters.

With all this money being available for sports, entertainment and politics and millionaires willing to part with their fortunes, there should be no issues in the USA at all! Our priorities need to be examined.
