Its weird how a large group of people such as the federal government can work on more than one thing at a time.
Just because you dont know all the other things happening doesnt mean theyre not.
Ticketmaster is an easy target. Apple, Amazon, Microsoft ,Google should have been cut to pieces years ago, yet here we are.
These companies have more revenue than some countries, this is mental and shouldn't happen.
So yeah, I get the cynicism.
For such an easy target, Ticketmaster has operated with impunity for decades at this point. I agree it probably isn't the most pressing problem right now, but I am glad something is finally being done.
I'm glad they go after them, but I fear that they will use them as a scapegoat and do jackshit to other monopolies
Dear US government, please stop climate change. I don't even go to concerts. I would feel bad about the gas it takes to get there
The current session doesn't even have a good record of doing one thing at once and political capital is not infinite. It's a legitimate concern to think we should be doing more important things.
And it's weird how these things almost always get killed by someone like Joe Manchin or the SCOTUS in spite of all the hard work of those good people. Try to pay more attention to what is actually going on.
