A jury found Wednesday that entertainment giant Live Nation, which hosts tens of thousands of concerts a year, and its Ticketmaster subsidiary had a harmful monopoly over big venues.
The ruling, in a lawsuit brought by dozens of states, won’t immediately bring relief for concertgoers who have long complained about high ticket prices.
But it could cost Live Nation hundreds of millions of dollars and perhaps force the company to sell some of its concert venues when the judge hands out penalties later.
That’s a core feature of capitalism, I don’t think it can be regulated away.
Regulating is like suing someone…
Anyone can do anything.
We can’t afford the time to debate if we “can” do some, we need to fucking do it. Just keep fixing shit as fast as possible, and then if we have to fight something in court, we fight it in court.
That was what got fucked up with Biden, he wanted to act like a prosecutor and only try something if it was a 99.999% chance of working.
We need a “shotgun approach” like trump is doing. Just do as much as we can while we can. If half of it fails, we still got the other half.
If we spend all our time making one thing bulletproof, we get nothing if the clock runs up and best case scenario 1 or 2 hyper specific and means tested things.
So fuck it.
Play the game we have.
To me, that’s like saying “we have to fix windows”, or “we have to fix slavery”. No. Those are bad systems, beyond repair. They need to be burnt down to the ground.
That’s like a house needing new wallpaper so you burn it down…
You have no idea how much more resources and time it would take to replace the entire house.
Like, conceptually it feels like you think it’s flipping a switch.
And I don’t have time to explain everything right now.
It’s not just new wallpaper though, that’s making light of capitalism’s problems.
tbh… idgaf about how much time or money it takes, they are already taking all our time AND money anyways…
It takes our time and money…
Meanwhile we don’t have any house to live in.
Like, at least go argue that we should build a new house, then burn down our current shack.
