The last time my family of four went to @RiverbanksZooSC in Columbia, I had sticker shock as I paid $117 in entrance fees… and then looked around at the crowd and wondered how so many people could afford to spend that .
Turns out, if you’re on EBT (food stamps), it would only cost your family $40 to go.
Same rules for @greenvillezoo. My family would cost $60; theirs $20.
This is due to a VOLUNTARY federally-run marketing effort called Museum for All, a DEI program that seeks to “eliminate financial barriers to cultural institutions and encourage low-income families to visit museums regularly.”
Riverbanks and Greenville Zoos are partially funded by local taxpayers AND just got a $2 million handout from the state in their latest earmarks package.
I’m sorry, but that’s ridiculous.
If a taxpayer-funded zoo wants to offer reduced admission, fine — lower the price for everyone.
People who work, pay taxes, and don’t qualify for government assistance should not be charged MORE for the same publicly subsidized experience.
Why are we allowing Riverbanks and Greenville Zoos to participate in this madness?

I think this speaks to a bigger problem with college football today. We’ve created a world where anything short of competing for a national championship is considered failure.
It wasn’t that long ago that you could have a great season without winning it all. Beat your rival. Compete for a conference championship. Win 10 or 11 games. Go win the Outback, Citrus, Sugar or Cotton Bowl and head into the offseason feeling pretty damn good about your program.
Now an 11-3 season gets dissected based on why you didn’t make the playoff or why your coach “can’t win the big one.”
That’s what we’ve lost. The national championship used to be the ultimate goal, but it wasn’t the only thing that gave a season meaning.
And the irony is we’ve sacrificed so much of what made college football unique for an expanded playoff system that still won’t eliminate arguments about who belongs. We’ll just argue about team No. 24 instead of team No. 4.
Conference championships should matter. Rivalries should matter. Bowl games should matter. A really good season should be allowed to simply be a really good season.
College football has a failure addiction. And it's sucking the joy from the sport.

“I think Bryce Young deserves a lot of credit. If you want to pick the top 2 or 3 players in the NFL in the first of the month of the season, Bryce Young is one of them”
