    The same people trying to slap LiveNation/TM on the wrist now are the ones who allowed them to be gigantic anyways.

    There are like a dozen different monopolies that control most of our lives, its just like the late 1800s all over again. Worthless governments allow worthless rich people to own all of the profits.

      The worst part being that democracy’s doctor, the “free” press, our ability to diagnose and help ourselves root out disease has been largely absorbed into the borg. How many times did you hear “inflation” in the last 4 years vs. “profit gouging”? Data has shown the majority of price increases were just corporate profit chasing and monopoly/oligopoly flexing on a captive audience.
