@stilleaworkinprogress: Capitalism’s favorite trick: socialize the costs, privatize the profits. Mom explains: 💸 Americans are footing the bill for the World Cup, while FIFA rakes in billions. 🤑 The economics of World Cup #economics #Soccer #tiktokcampaign #TikTokCreatorSearchInsightsIncentive
People need to realize if a company is profitable only because of government subsidies/our taxes, then it was never an actual functioning private business on its own merits.

This and sports teams in general, as an Illinois resident I am thrilled that Prizker said no to the Bears trying to strong arm our state. Subsidizing teams is almost always a losing proposition.

Same thing with the Olympics… Typically it’s a net loss for the host city. It generates a lot of revenue, but it’s also incredibly expensive to host.

We could spend this money on building a better city like having trams or metro system.

Just like the NFL. The local shoppers are paying for the stadiums, through the sales taxes, and get nothing back. The team owner makes all profits from the stadiums that the shopping tax payers in that county paid for.

It's just like sports stadiums. The taxpayers pay for them and the billionaires that own the teams ranking all the money!
