This is an incorrect assessment of the reason why the yes side wants the games. But I’m sure you know that.
We want other people’s money spent here for once, we want the infrastructure proposed, we believe in the economic multiplier benefits, we believe in the intangible benefits, and we want to party and have a slack 2 weeks of work. And we think that’s worth $500M.
Your attempt to characterize us as frivolous partygoers is cute though, even if it is extremely condescending.
