And pay they do, year after year after year! This is funny John Oliver clip explains it best: https://goo.gl/3M509R<br /><br />And ditto for hosting the Olympics.

Businesses always function for dollars no matter the harm or devastation to citizens--individuals in the society. It is sick! Amen to all that you said.<br /><br />Bonus: <br />b. Prez. elections and cities forking over dollars to get and host the Olymics always pissed me off. I think, that money could overhaul and fix our education system. <br /><br />c. Reporters?
