True. And how much is it for those exhibitions - the ones that usually start at 20 dollars per person?

No problem, EBT users are not interested in going to the science museum.
To: 2ndDivisionVet
If they were interested in science, they wouldn’t have EBT cards.

They get to feel good about themselves and receive positive press coverage, and maybe a slight bump in revenue. They know very few will take them up. If that were to happen, the movie would be disrupted, the exhibits would be damaged and regular, full price patrons would be run off due to all the bad behavior.

Next they’ll expect the taxpayers to feed them and house them in style.
