In reply to the discussion: AOC at Met Gala - "Tax the Rich" [View all]Zeitghost
(4,557 posts)111. The posted pictures alone
Are enough to tell me not everyone was wearing a mask indoors. When you compare threads like this one and the Obama Birthday Party threads with threads like the recent one on a Las Vegas convention here attendees were posing for photos maskless, the responses seem to go from "it's not big deal" to "they all deserve to die and are responsible for the deaths of others by continuing to spread the disease".
Yes I used a bit of hyperbole for effect there, but I do find these different responses to be peculiar.

That's one month's rent for 50 families, or could even get one's grandmother's roof fixed.

I remember the 2001 exhibit and gala. It honored Jackie Kennedy during her White House years.

Love it. Celebs never pay for their gowns. Designers love having a celebrity wear it

It had better not be a gift. Elected officials are not permitted to accept gifts.

If you attend an event that costs $35k (or $50k?) without paying, that's a gift over the limit.

I was talking about the price of a ticket to attend. This wasn't a political event.

A non-political event that has a ticket price of X dollars is not free, guests notwithstanding.
