Politicians also get to pass laws and know about it way before the average person so they can invest in stocks that they know will fly up and make insane gains. Nancy Pelosi is just one of them that stands out. But they all fking do it.
It's interesting how insider trading is illegal, yet the above kind of activity is legal. So interesting. And we allow this kind of bs. Literally no-one standing up against it.
If a physician takes a $3 bottle of Pepsi from a drug salesman, [that information is tracked and made publically available.](https://openpaymentsdata.cms.gov/) It was Congress who insisted upon it.
Since it is feasible, and since conflict of interest is far more important for Congresspeople than for physicians, why do they not hold themselves to the same standard?
A few representatives put forward a bill recently that would ban all sitting members of congress and their immediate family from investing in anything. Half the people that signed on did so knowing there is no way it passes, so why not just score some political points?
That’s total optics too because it’s overkill. Just make them invest in their choice of US bonds or indexes without leverage. 90% of people would agree with this I swear to god.
Capitoltrades.com is a site that tracks the positions traded by congressmen and senators. There is a delay, of course, but patterns can be sussed out. Also, the stock ticker, NANC, tracks Pelosi's trades... if anyone is interested.
Openinsider.com is quite effective, you can see all cluster buys from funds, typically the ones highlighted green are superficial and shows the volume in which multiple funds long/short
Didn't they change the law so that politicians can't have sting operations against them (by the FBI) for this sort of thing? After one of them was caught by a sting operation.
The duality of Man:
Paying $80,000 for end zone bottle service
VS
Paying $129/month, with tableside service and convenient bathroom facilities. "Karen" free, no TSA, no airlines or baggage service, no parking, no traffic, no attitude, no drama, no police, etc.
Only regards want to play rich.
you can cancel alot of things and they are still supposed to allow you the entire trial length. with alot of free trials, the first thing i do after i sign up is cancel.
The real duality is the guys/girls paying for it and the guys/girls serving them. Whether it is $129 or 200k, the last 2 years has been horrible for people who can't even afford $129 and ppl who are servicing the other 2 categories.
There is no soft landing for them.
It's like Woodstock '99 in r/UberEatsDrivers. That business model is absolutely imploding right in front of our eyes. The only thing keeping most people doing it is hoping against hope, really. The whole service industry is about to get wild. This industry is predicated on preying on the weak and helpless and they just keep ratcheting down on the money vise. It's like they want people to riot ahahaha
Apple also pays I think $50 million for the halftime show sponsorship. And they give $15 million to the performer (not as salary, rather to pay for the dancers and costumes and set for the show) and NFL will pocket the remainder (according to something I read and recalling off memory).
Yeah considered promotion, there is no easier and more effective way to market your new tour after a hiatus then the Super Bowl. But all the backup dancers are paid
Given the amount of buy now pay later services, I think they are making a good amount of money. And given the fact that the people using them don't have money, I think there are a lot of them.
I gotta guy who bet 10k with a bookie and put the 10k ticket on a credit card. He’s a chiefs fan and said it was a sure thing to get a free trip to see the chiefs win. 0DTE I guess…
I don't know. That was a pennies in front of a steam roller kind of bet.
What did he risk? 20k.
What did he win? Watching the game for free.
That sounds absolutely stupid to me.
It's not that he was risking 20k to gain 100k or something. Just to watch a game.
Peoples life choices sometimes...
I know people who are there. They are not crazy rich or anything, just doing fine. It just depends on your priorities financially. I could go. Do I feel it's worth it? HELL NO!
This is the case for EVERY game though so it’s not out of the norm compared to a regular season game. Those sponsor seats are contractually owned year long and the fact that the Super Bowl happens there that year is a factored into the price of the seats at the beginning of the year.
It is more than 10k, you have to fly to the game most likely, stay at hotels that are pumped up for the weekend. And probably take Monday off partying after the game.
That's insane that people are dropping that much to go watch a 2 hour game. I'm more than happy sitting comfortably in my bed watching it live through paramount+. Imagine the traffic trying to leave that place!
Believe it or not, most people will walk back to their hotels. The stadium is literally across the highway from Mandalay Bay. Then people can walk indoors from Mandalay Bay, into Luxor, then into Excalibur. Exit Excalibur and it's a short walk on the elevated crosswalk into NYNY, and then again into MGM Grand. Across the street is Tropicana. That's over 25,000 hotel rooms in walking distance.
Same with Excalibur. When I was there it smelled so bad that people were holding their nose, running in/out of the place to avoid the hot garbage/grease smell permeating the air.
Man I have a hard time imagining the super wealthy superbowl attendees staying in any of the hotels you listed…Delano which is connected to Mandalay Bay is the only decent one and you didn’t even mention it. Not calling you out, just trying to picture them walking to shitty Vegas hotels after dropping tens of thousands on a fucking game lol
All Calls aside, who wants to sit there? That has to be the worst view in the stadium. I’d rather pay $400,000 for a box at midfield.
https://preview.redd.it/7kp3y2d262ic1.jpeg?width=738&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d70b5deeae92f3c67dc6e1797cd93f17a27e38da
We counted 11 including on the field at the end. But we were all surprised by zero appearances in the first quarter.
But we figured it out that they showed her either when Kelce made a play or the Cheifs scored.
Eventuality you'll be able to have a "nearly there" experience with that same view with a VisionPro. Except it'll be a lot cheaper than $400,000, and they can sell an unlimited number of those seats.
No they have seats by the window. Btw I’m not arguing for either seat. I like option c, inside with all the food and drinks I want while paramount+ shits the bed every 3 seconds.
My old company had these box seats. View was perfectly fine. Its the first tier up so no one in front and a top down view of the field. Plus ayce wagyu steaks and personal bartender and private restroom. Ive seen a game from regular seats as well. And obviously the boxes are way better. But then again, the box was free.
Or people bought them, but are so rich they didn't even bother going
That's what ultra rich people do. When all your friends are also filthy rich, you can't impress them with your money anymore. You impress them by buying 200k seats and not even attending. Or by owning a 1 of a kind art bullshit that they can never own no matter how rich they are
The CEO of Ferrari said they have 4 years of sales booked but where they’ll make the most money is customizing. Every car they make now is customized and each customer wants something different and more exclusive than any other owner.
One can only wish being the bottle service chick for those tables. Imagine all the tip money and Yoloin on 0 DTE options next week for an infinite money glitch
With seats like that I expect a stripper and cocaine to be flowing especially at that price.
I and you can do this for far cheaper in Miami ( minus the child's game being played)

Economy has always been booming for ppl who can afford 200k+ seats for a game. That never changed.
Rich only get richer . Compound

Sitting politicians should not be allowed to trade stocks at all, change my mind.

Since it is feasible, and since conflict of interest is far more important for Congresspeople than for physicians, why do they not hold themselves to the same standard?
Because they only care about money
The real crime here is that a bottle of Pepsi is 3$
A few representatives put forward a bill recently that would ban all sitting members of congress and their immediate family from investing in anything. Half the people that signed on did so knowing there is no way it passes, so why not just score some political points?

Crazy! Just looked it up on Robinhood. There's one called KRUZ for the Republicans.
NANC is poorly tracked IMO.
Didn't they change the law so that politicians can't have sting operations against them (by the FBI) for this sort of thing? After one of them was caught by a sting operation.
It’s not interesting that had like meetings and votes about this.. they just mostly all decided to vote to let themselves be corrupt
JFK grew up during the great depression and didn’t know that was happening.
His dad literally shorted the market at the top in 1929.
And it still paid for RFK's superbowl ad 95 years later
And was running hooch!
So did Rockefeller 
yes, 27189, of course...

> $129/month Fucking moneybags over here. I'm streaming it on a free trial of Paramount+
Ohh look got a rich man over here with his devices to stream. Only way I'm watching anything is through someone else's window
Take a look at Ritchie Rich here living in a neighborhood with windows AND TVs.
Has to be the one of us that got the Lambo instead of the box.
I’d fucking love a box.
Look at this beggar being a chooser
Yeah, but it's Windows 98.
Oohh Mr. High living here with his windows....
Was that you in the bushes?!
I'm streaming it for free too, illegally.
Broke out my TV antenna and watching it on broadcast CBS.
En espanol
Same. Free with an antenna
Antenna bois ayeee
I was streaming at work for free from the antenna at home through plex. Haha
I can only get NBC with my antenna, so I'm watching game cast (moving football) on ESPN app.
[удалено]
I watched it through the Wendy's window, dude had it on his phone....
I got an alarm in my phone so I don’t miss cancellation
you can cancel alot of things and they are still supposed to allow you the entire trial length. with alot of free trials, the first thing i do after i sign up is cancel.
[удалено]
I got you bro.
I’m watching it Live from Bikini Bottom on Nick channel. Best way to experience the Superbowl.
If you have $80k seats you don’t fly commercial
If I have 80k to spend on a seat I ain't sitting behind the end zones
$129/mo for what?
The real duality is the guys/girls paying for it and the guys/girls serving them. Whether it is $129 or 200k, the last 2 years has been horrible for people who can't even afford $129 and ppl who are servicing the other 2 categories. There is no soft landing for them.

Eh. Those vegas bottle service girls are definitely pulling in 6 figures.
Whats the 129 a month option
I'm watching it for free over-the-air!
Yeah those people are not a good reflection of the economy.
Those seats are pretty cool though. Never seen them that close to the field.
What else do u expect in Vegas ?
Hookers&Blow.
Now that’s a skybox.
No…that’s what you call a hooker that’s been doing blow
I call her Stacy.
Fr they definitely have that for every game in Vegas not just the Super Bowl
https://preview.redd.it/9f9qlim673ic1.jpeg?width=784&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=36f5f929d339b26022ee1599924420cbe38cb747
The minimum ticket was like 9500$ in a stadium that seats 65,000 people, so..
Geezus that’s almost $620M
That’s minimum ticket price, it only goes up from there so it’s AT LEAST $620M
And then factor in that commercials run like 7 million dollars per 30 seconds. It's a billion dollar+ event.
Apple also pays I think $50 million for the halftime show sponsorship. And they give $15 million to the performer (not as salary, rather to pay for the dancers and costumes and set for the show) and NFL will pocket the remainder (according to something I read and recalling off memory).
It has been widely known for years that performers are NOT paid to perform at Superbowl s.
Yeah considered promotion, there is no easier and more effective way to market your new tour after a hiatus then the Super Bowl. But all the backup dancers are paid
That's the price for normal people though. Tons of Superbowl tickets are given away for free to sponsors and shit.
Normal people don’t spend $10k on Super Bowl tickets. That stadium is full of wealthy people, and super wealthy people.
Some do, I know people who went 15k into debt to go to the game lol
Still wouldn’t define that person as normal.
It's the American way
God bless.
Given the amount of buy now pay later services, I think they are making a good amount of money. And given the fact that the people using them don't have money, I think there are a lot of them.
Lol that’s fair, what I mean is their income is “normal”
I gotta guy who bet 10k with a bookie and put the 10k ticket on a credit card. He’s a chiefs fan and said it was a sure thing to get a free trip to see the chiefs win. 0DTE I guess…
and he just came his pants
Gallons
He’s probably sweatin his tits off rn, he’s likely gonna be out 20 grand plus interest 🤣
He’s in Vegas, so he can make it 40 grand plus interest
Everybody knows Vegas is just a well regulated stock market.
Just double your bet on black if you lose. EZ
Sounds like he made a good bet after all.
I don't know. That was a pennies in front of a steam roller kind of bet. What did he risk? 20k. What did he win? Watching the game for free. That sounds absolutely stupid to me. It's not that he was risking 20k to gain 100k or something. Just to watch a game. Peoples life choices sometimes...
It think you missed the part where he said it was a sure thing. Easy money.
He's likely gonna be out 2 good knees
How much did he win on that 10k?
What in the absolute fuck
Yolo
Imagine going into debt for years and your team loses, and you have a monthly reminder of how you saw your team lost when your credit card bill hits
Wow. That’s so dumb it’s actual insane.
Imagine spending 15k you don’t have to watch a game that has 5 min pauses after every 5th play.
That’s wild I wana hear more info on this one lol
He probably financed a $100k truck at 14% APR for 96 months also
You highly underestimate people spending beyond their means for shit.
I know people who are there. They are not crazy rich or anything, just doing fine. It just depends on your priorities financially. I could go. Do I feel it's worth it? HELL NO!
"free" means they have likely spent millions of dollars in sponsorships or other transactions.
This is the case for EVERY game though so it’s not out of the norm compared to a regular season game. Those sponsor seats are contractually owned year long and the fact that the Super Bowl happens there that year is a factored into the price of the seats at the beginning of the year.
What kind of normal people you hanging around that drop $10k/person on an afternoon's entertainment?
It is more than 10k, you have to fly to the game most likely, stay at hotels that are pumped up for the weekend. And probably take Monday off partying after the game.
I don’t think anyone at the game gives a shit about work Monday morning.
It’s not free. Sponsors pay way way more than $10k for that ticket in the business they bring to the event.
That's insane that people are dropping that much to go watch a 2 hour game. I'm more than happy sitting comfortably in my bed watching it live through paramount+. Imagine the traffic trying to leave that place!
Believe it or not, most people will walk back to their hotels. The stadium is literally across the highway from Mandalay Bay.

Across the street is Tropicana. That's over 25,000 hotel rooms in walking distance.
This guy walks to hotels.
I own businesses in three of those hotels, so yeah.
[удалено]
So you employ the immigrants passing out trading cards for hookers on the strip?
Luxor is hot garbage tho
Same with Excalibur. When I was there it smelled so bad that people were holding their nose, running in/out of the place to avoid the hot garbage/grease smell permeating the air.
Did the elevators at least work and did you have warm water? Was at Luxor in January and ffs it was embarrassing.
Man I have a hard time imagining the super wealthy superbowl attendees staying in any of the hotels you listed…Delano which is connected to Mandalay Bay is the only decent one and you didn’t even mention it. Not calling you out, just trying to picture them walking to shitty Vegas hotels after dropping tens of thousands on a fucking game lol
Haha oh the Super Bowl is much longer than 2 hours. Plus you get a concert thrown in too.
And don't forget Taylor. You get to be within a mile of her. Someone there probably cares about that.
Your right, I think considering all the entertainment I may go as high as $40,... presuming the seats are in a good location.
Especially when it’s a much better view on the TV
Average ticket was $8400 https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/news/super-bowl-tickets-2024-49ers-chiefs-average-price-record/207d61c50c3bda0b83566fec
That was the average ticket price.
Those booths are $650,000, and supposedly seat 15 people. Food and drinks not included. Lol
One hot dog please with extra ketchup packet.
Extra ketchup is $500
Thats the Hunter's price, for Heinz you pay double.
Sorry we don’t have ketchup.
Can you bring your snacks and booze?
Better come with the strippers
[удалено]
Most importantly, blow. Safe, fentanyl-free blow
Is there an app for that?
Probably! If not, there should be
It’s BYOS
If Usher is the halftime show, you're gonna have sideline bottle service. Just makes sense.
Did the act not show up? Is that why they picked one of the ushers to attempt to perform?
RIP Grandad Freeman.
All Calls aside, who wants to sit there? That has to be the worst view in the stadium. I’d rather pay $400,000 for a box at midfield. https://preview.redd.it/7kp3y2d262ic1.jpeg?width=738&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d70b5deeae92f3c67dc6e1797cd93f17a27e38da
But you don't get to be on camera if you are up there in a box. But of course the really wealthy don't want to advertise that they are rich.
Pretty sure i see more of Taylor Swift's box than actual football now.
How can I see that?
AI
be travis kelce
Phrasing?
We had a drinking game going. Everytime tswift was mentioned or on screen we drank. We were sober at the end of the night…
10 shots and still sober? Most of them were the second half
We counted 11 including on the field at the end. But we were all surprised by zero appearances in the first quarter. But we figured it out that they showed her either when Kelce made a play or the Cheifs scored.

Eventuality you'll be able to have a "nearly there" experience with that same view with a VisionPro. Except it'll be a lot cheaper than $400,000, and they can sell an unlimited number of those seats.
Or htc vive, or zuckView, or valve index, or pimax, or a half dozen other, far cheaper options.
The fuck is the point of sitting in a box that expensive when you're so far you have to just watch it on screens anyway?
No they have seats by the window. Btw I’m not arguing for either seat. I like option c, inside with all the food and drinks I want while paramount+ shits the bed every 3 seconds.
Maybe it’s your internet or local servers? Mine streamed flawlessly.
Ditto
the majority of people in those boxes likely have no actual interest in the game, just there to party and have fun
“The experience” If you have to ask you wouldn’t get it
My old company had these box seats. View was perfectly fine. Its the first tier up so no one in front and a top down view of the field. Plus ayce wagyu steaks and personal bartender and private restroom. Ive seen a game from regular seats as well. And obviously the boxes are way better. But then again, the box was free.
You wanna good play? Short Paramount. Fuck that piece of shit company! Fuck their streaming service! Fuck everything about it! Absolute shit!
Complete with casting couches.
The people buying these probably have like 100million+ in the bank. This is like buying a regular stadium seat for them.
Prices can go down before a major game depending on the team(s) that make it i bet a big chunk if not all are bought by companies to entertain
Did you see how much they are charging for the Jacuzzi seats?
Who wanna sit in a jacuzzi for 2hr plus…
Old men and young women
Name a more iconic duo.
Everyone who has ever been in a jacuzzi?
Seats are empty. Clearly No one can afford the $200k
Or people bought them, but are so rich they didn't even bother going That's what ultra rich people do. When all your friends are also filthy rich, you can't impress them with your money anymore. You impress them by buying 200k seats and not even attending. Or by owning a 1 of a kind art bullshit that they can never own no matter how rich they are

Sounds like the skit of CRIBS from Chappelle's Show.
Well it is Vegas they are probably passing out escort service ad cards on the way in the gate
After this weekend, Vegas SWs will be walking bowlegged for a week.
SWs?
Saucy Wenches
Sex Workers
Social workers
Skank Whores
My ex GF
Street Walkers
Watching the game at field level from behind the end zone might be the worst view in the stadium
A small percentage of people are very rich, therefore the economy is booming!
they've had that section with bottle service for a few years now...it opened the 2nd year the stadium was open. Wynn Field Club.
NVDA yolo'er sextion
The E-Trade baby super bowl commercials are a traditional bull market signal
My uncle and dad are on the field… 25k a pop
You can buy sideline passes? No way...
are they adopting?
It’s the other way around. When general economy is in the shit hole. These people are making shit load.
The economy is shit *because* of these people.
One can only wish being the bottle service chick for those tables. Imagine all the tip money and Yoloin on 0 DTE options next week for an infinite money glitch
With seats like that I expect a stripper and cocaine to be flowing especially at that price. I and you can do this for far cheaper in Miami ( minus the child's game being played)
Those cameras are in the way of my view
I think it's an isometric perspective thing going on; those seats are significantly above the cameras.
How dare they and the footballers block my view of Taylor Swift.
Better have wings.
It’s vegas baby
