Live Nation/Ticketmaster is a monopoly, which is why it can get away with providing awful service, charging exorbitant prices, and tacking on fees as high as 75% of the ticket price.
The DoJ will announce an antitrust lawsuit against the company this week.

Perplexity AI: #Obama "Justice Department's antitrust regulator at the time, Christine A. Varney, claimed the merger would allow "enough air and sunlight in the space for strong competitors to take root, grow, and thrive". However, this has not materialized, as Live Nation Entertainment now controls "nearly every aspect" of the ticket business, leading to record-high ticket prices and onerous fees for consumers." #LiveNation#Ticketmaster#ticketing#monopoly
4 years ago today, Dr. Fauci contradicted Trump's claim that Covid would magically go away before the fall. After that, Fauci was sidelined from public briefings & barred from speaking to press.
During the greatest national crisis of our time, all Trump cared about was his ego

It bugs the hell out of me that NO ONE ever asked #TheOrangeMenace while he was in office to defend his criticism of #Obama's handling of the #SwineFlu#H1N1 outbreak while pointing out just how much worse of a job he did (mis)handling #Covid.
