The End of Greyhound Racing at Flagler Dog Track

Friday evening, June 29, 2018 will be the last time you will see the dog racing at Flagler in Miami.  I've lived in Miami for almost fifty years and have been going to the dog races for almost fifty years first with my father and then by myself.  Gambling on dog racing in those fifty years hasn't changed that much, however the number of folks following has plummeted.  While there were several dog tracks in South Florida in the 1970's it doesn't look like there will be live dog racing in South Florida after the last race at Flagler.

The latest reports are that farmers in Brazil and Argentina have moved into that market and are now exporting to China.  The earlier trade war with China cost farmers in the United States in terms of losing a market for their crops. Actually this is what I thought free markets and trading was all about.  Instead of trade now our taxes are being given to farmers while they figure out what with all those soybeans and corn crops. Who knows what the future will bring.  Maybe some kind of a deal will happen.  I know this seems crazy but who's to say that some trader will be able to figure out a way to sell our corn and soybeans to China, make a crap load of money and then figure out a way to avoid taxes on that wi...
