I don't know man, I know people in the gig economy who are saving up for Taylor Swift tickets.

 

That's young people mostly with no monthly nut to speak of.  When they hit 28 or get married everything changes.

Alright, let's get back on topic somewhat. 

 

The salary deferral is insane to me. I can't believe the MLB allowed that.

I totally got that, but I'm saying today people are complaining about the economy but they're also shelling out money to see sporting events, Taylor Swift, and beyoncé. Give me a fucking break.

You're not serious here are you? Have you been food shopping? Buy fuel oil? Car prices? 

 

What you're talking about isn't an economy issue. It's a priorities issue.

I can't believe Ohtani agreed to it.

It's a disposable income issue.

So, he'll be getting two million a year for the ten years of the contract, and getting the rest later? So, it's basically a Bobby Bonilla with the Mets situation? Wow.
