    Ah, yes, the ole “it’s the customers fault they’re getting screwed.”

    Why do I have to think about market forces and corporate politics just to buy a fucking concert ticket? Can’t we just have a well regulated market that doesn’t constantly treat customers like a resource to be mined?

      I get this argument for something people actually need but going to a Taylor Swift concert is the very definition of a luxury.

      No, we can’t. Both are captured by cruel and selfish people who will keep taking until something breaks and they got to where they are because people kept voting for them on the ballot and in the store instead of supporting the people who aren’t trying to economically rape us into the grave.
