  • Monopoly laws do NOT only apply to human necessities. They apply to all businesses. There is a reason for that.

    This isn’t just that consumers are willing to pay way too much for tickets. This is that TM owns both the venues and the ticketing system, meaning that if an artist wants to perform for their fans they are forced to use a TM venue. If an artist tries to use an independent venue, they get blacklisted from TM venues. If a venue is independent, TM will blacklist artists who try to use that venue.

    Why are you pushing so hard for a company who actively makes life worse for normal people?

    Also, circling back to my original point, I think entertainment actually is a basic human necessity. Making it so expensive that normal people have to go into debt just to have it in their lives should be fought against.


  • They are not fucking idiots. They are assholes who care far more about power and money than about the public in general, but they aren’t idiots.

    That said, you will also find no shortage of people on the left who are furious with those three and want them primaried out. Those three were voted in for sounding sensible and logical and appealing to the center. They stay voted in because most voters are uninformed. On the right, though, voters will happily vote in the primaries for the MOST insanely illogical person. It’s like a contest to see who can say the most insane thing.





  • No your just a dope anyone probably states they are a christian will always choose that over facts and science. Even looks the part. I rather have a Satanist then a christian.

    No, you’RE just a dope. Anyone WHO states they are a Christian will ?probably? ?always? (it can’t be both) choose that over facts and science. HE even looks the part. I WOULD rather have a Satanist thAn a Christian.

    If you are going to call someone a dope, then maybe don’t have nine grammatical errors in a three sentence post.









  • The process at the airport is theater for the most part. They routinely miss dangerous items. The process for TSA Pre is a background check that is probably only as rigorous as a police background check, but it at least screens out some criminals. Global Entry is more rigorous and looks a bit deeper, but it isn’t as deep as a real security clearance.

    My only issue with relaxing the process at the airport for everyone is that everyone on planes these days is stressed and angry, at least in the US. I don’t want it to be easier to bring a gun or knife onto a plane with people as angry and irritated as they are now. I’m not afraid of terrorists. I’m afraid of Florida Man with his MAGA hat getting into a fight with a person and stabbing them.
