Tooootallly nothing to worry about here:
That's just, you know, not a great thing to open up the newspaper and see.
The rising cost of fun is becoming a drag.
Ticket prices for live entertainment events, from Taylor Swift concerts to National Football League games and high-season Disney theme-park visits, rose at a startling rate this year, triggering a phenomenon that analysts have dubbed "funflation."
Oh, they have an economic word for it now, is that right? "Funflation?" It's such a pervasive phenomenon that they're making up words about it now?
That is really not good.
Less than two years of Joe Biden and "fun" is legitimately becoming out-of-reach for a huge number of Americans.
A majority of Americans, for instance, report "cutting back on spending on live entertainment this year because of rising costs," while more than a quarter "said they don't spend any money at all on live entertainment."
People are still doing these things, of course. But for a growing percentage of Americans, the once-commonplace and normal experiences of live music — and theme parks and the like — are slipping away as they simply become too unaffordable.
Is there any doubt as to why we're seeing numbers like these, from voters who are experiencing this firsthand?
Don't expect this backlash to go away anytime soon.
