Ticketmaster is a perfect example of how much politicians are full of shit, all of them.
You know those Congressional Dog & Pony Shows, where they drag out the CEOs of some industry, holler at them all day, and then go back to their office and do absolutely nothing about what they just hollered about?
They did that with Ticketmaster in 1994, again in 2009, and again in 2023. Every 15 years or so, they get outraged in public, and do nothing. I'm sure it has nothing to do with Ticketmaster making enormous campaign contributions to everyone in office.
This is what happens when the shareholders screw the working class https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-g1u0ascpLY
Perfect.
just like TAX return filing systems, h&r block and INTUIT are pratically a duopoly.
I really hate how much of a deal they make out of congressional hearings like it isn't the lamest form of PR where nothing happens.
If it was a serious issue they cared about, senators wouldn't be walking in for their 15 minute turn and then just immediately leave after they're done reading off of their script.
They never show a wide shot because the chamber is empty.
Hot seat my ass, I wouldn't be surprised if it came built in with a back massager to compensate whoever has to sit for several hours for the whole show.
