One of the ways to address inequality is making sure you have the tools to do it.

In today's episode, we talk about a recent report that Detroit (and other cities) should consider a tax on tickets to big sporting events and concerts.

Many other cities do this to raise money that flows from the action downtown to the neighborhoods.

The idea is a huge "maybe" as local sales taxes are prohibited in Michigan, and would need legislation in Lansing to even truly consider. But we're looking at the ways structurally things don't happen here that in other places, they do... and what reforms would be needed to fix things.

We also talk about a visit to the new Saturn Coffee and Norris gets into his dislike of denim for fancier events.
