> According to [this article](http://cost-finder.com/how-much-does-it-cost-to-build-a-hospital/), it costs about $25 million to build a hospital. So that’s about 80 hospitals that could be built for the money it will cost to satisfy some grownup little boys jerking off to their space ship fantasies. (correct me if my math is wrong.)

And in 2019 Americans spent [the cost of 428 hospitals](https://www.forbes.com/sites/maurybrown/2019/12/21/mlb-sees-record-107-billion-in-revenues-for-2019) watching grown men trying to hit a ball with a stick.
