What really pisses me off is having lived in Las Vegas, where they shut the whole Strip and a bunch of surrounding areas down for this race. Not sure if they do it every time but they also shut down the famous Bellagio fountains and covered the view with ugly scaffolding!
For the race itself, not only can you only watch it via a subscription stream, they also block off any local infrastructure with a view, such as the pedestrian bridges, so that the only eyes able to actually see the thing happen in our own city on our own streets paid ~$2000 for the privilege.
The classism on display is insane. The city is all about entertaining the obscenely wealthy globalist class, and the people that make it all run are serfs.
