This Saturday the infamous Jon Tester (D-MT with two fingers on his right hand) will be holding a fundraiser for my man Jeff Merkley. I just got an email saying tickets are 15$ for students, if I were still here I'd go cause that is mighty cheap for a newly minted US Senator

Something about those emails bothered me: the combination of "Have a beer with Jon Tester!" and "Oh, by the way, it's 50 bucks." The message is one of friendly equality, but the cost is... not. It's a fundraiser, I get that, but one that sounds more inclusive than it is. I do appreciate the student discount, though.

Particularly since you won't be having a beer with jon tester, you'll be having a beer with jon tester and several hundred people.
