        How much money has been wasted on high school stadiums in the past 25 years alone?

        Some high school stadiums in the US hold 15k+ people. Almost all built in the past 2-3 decades.

      Look, I get it's a bit and all -- and it's a great bit, don't get me wrong -- but I come here specifically to avoid this exact thing.

      Anyway, keep up the good work.

      Nothing against McDonald's Managers, but they make an average of $46k and it really seems like teachers should make more than they do.
