I've done the numbers. Disney breaks even if they charge a million bucks for entry and only get a dozen visitors a day. Profit!

People don't mind paying more for live entertainment. Disney management decided that they should monetize the brawls that periodically break out at their parks.

This is actually how a capitalist economy work - supply and demand. As prices go up, the demand goes down. Eventually either prices come down or income goes up.

Attempts by governments to “manage” the economy usually makes things worse (such as minimum wage, taxes, or required benefits for workers, and restrictions on businesses).

I am not smart enough to understand it all but I do know there are cycles economies go through and currently we are at the worse stage.

The good news is that it will finally sort itself out until the next time.

The bad news is a lot of people will be hurt and businesses will not survive and it will take a few years.

So buckle up kids, we are in for a bumpy ride.

(As always I am not an expert and these are just my opinions and I of course be wrong).

This past summer, I contemplated taking a drive upstate and visiting a park. The price was a bit much, but I said, it’s for the day ... and then I thought to check on parking. Turns out that they charged 30 bucks to park a car, and the park wasn’t near anything else.

So it isn’t just one thing that’s inflated. All the adjoining pieces get inflated as well.

Went kayaking with my grandson yesterday. Eight bucks for a Tonto National Forest day pass.

Not all entertainment is expensive.
