> Is it not dystopian that we live in a world where a working class family can't take their kids to a baseball game and buy them a hotdog and a pop.

There are baseball games that aren't MLB. And they are more affordable. And there are more of them.

The local high school games have hotdogs and pop; sometimes the local little league games have a food truck. Prices are almost too reasonable at times.

Minor league baseball! I always loved going to the Scranton - Wilkes Barre Red Barons as a kid. Just went back for a game this year and food and bev is cheap, parking and getting in/out is easy. A great family experience — and as a kid it’s really similar. I caught a foul ball at a Red Barons game and it was more magical than anything Shea Stadium or Yankee Stadium ever gave me.

I'm not gonna argue that we're not living in a dystopia, but I feel like that's a weird place to draw the line

Why would this be anywhere near the line? I think it's squarely within the line :-)
