Why the fuck do humans do parades. It costs over 10m to do macys thanksgiving in new York and provides less than an hour of entertainment, and that assumes you can even call parades entertainment.

Maybe I’m just missing the point and that’s fine, but I think our city can spend money on things better than dressing up and walking down a road that most of the citizens didn’t want closed because even though All the rich yts get thanksgiving off, some of us still have to go to work.

Calm down Scrooge. Clearly you’ve never been to this parade that lasts nearly 4 hours and is incredibly entertaining on a very low budget.

The city does not pay for the parade. It is put on by the community & business associations. Costs are covered through fund raising, donations, and volunteered time.
