This sounds to me like paying someone to shove your face into boiling acid, eyes held open by clips like in A Clockwork Orange, while your ears are left above the surface so you can hear Abracadabra by the Steve Miller Band playing.
But that's me. If you want to not only listen to more of this woman shrieking, but drop more than $200 for the privilege, God bless America, I guess:
Want to attend Hillary's book tour? Get ready to pony up more than $200
You can click the image to buy tickets if you want. Why you would want to I can't even begin to imagine, but I am chill and I don't judge you, bro.
I have no trouble defending this on a supply-and-demand basis. If you can get people to pay $200 to hear you speak, then you should charge $200. If you think you can get them to pay more, give it a shot. No one is forced at gunpoint to buy a ticket, I wouldn't think. These are the Clintons we're talking about so I should probably hedge a little on that.
But I really don't know what you think you're going to get that will be worth the money. It's already clear that her book is nothing but a litany of excuses and blaming of everyone but herself for her election loss. Before she was entitled and inevitable. Now she's the victim of history's worst injustice, and she'll never stop cackling about it for as long as she lives.
Her choice, but I don't see why the rest of us should have to listen to it. Then again, I don't have to and I'm not going to. I live close enough to Ann Arbor that I could easily get to this event. I'd rather crawl on my knees over broken glass to a midnight showing of Gigli than do so. And actually pay over $200 for the privilege of listening to this awful woman?
And yet, look at that arena map. Most of the seats are sold.
The nation that isn't alarmed by $20 trillion in debt is dropping serious coin to listen to an awful speaker who will never play any significant role in American life ever again. Without being forced to do so.
And you wonder why I think we don't have long.
