      Privately funded projects like this still come from exploited surplus value, there aren’t any working class folks decking out a ballroom for 200 million. Whether it be directly through taxation or indirectly through capitalist appropriation, it’s still coming from the working class.

      Can’t really agree. If that’s the case it’s a bribe. If it’s not, it’s wasted tax dollars. Either way it doesn’t look good.
