And I was going to buy a new super sized tv, with all the bells and whistles to watch it.
I think I will stick to the old black and white tv, and watch old films.

I'm pretty sure they banned spectators because of fear of resurgence of COVID, particularly the delta variant. I very, very, VERY much doubt it hand anything to do with the capitol riot and even less to do with "wealth disparity", whatever that is. I call it a work disparity. Those who work in school and work at their jobs are able to accumulate some measure of wealth. Those that are extremely talented in sports or show business make big bucks, but still have to work hard. Those that sit on their behinds watching Oprah and pushing out 6 babies by 6 different fathers before age 24, have nothing. And that "disparity" was their choice
