A competing service in the non-Livenation venues would be enough to take a chunk of a Ticketmaster's bottom line and force them to compete again, something they haven't had to do in a while.
If Mark Cuban has the resources to take on the drug industry by creating a service to get reasonably priced medicine, can we ask him to make a new TicketMaster that doesn't rip everyone off?
What's your work experience in? What are the goals for your career? What skills do you need for the career you want, are you actively working on developing them?
If you're not sure, it's a great time to consider what you're competent at or enjoy, and do a realistic search of jobs in that field and the qualifications to get them. Best time to start is yesterday. 2nd best time to start is today.
Also, if you have some money saved, consider taking a skill and making money yourself instead of working for a wage. Lots of entrepreneurial info out there and ideas for those willing to take the risk on themselves. Some fields have very low barriers to entry.. window washing, grass cutting, almost anything AI related right now, drop shipping, hell even a t-shirt printing business can be set up well for under $500
They laugh because there is no logical argument. They distract and make fun of it so you dont bother to actually look it up to see the numbers for yourself.
Take a look at which countries get heavy investments from China and Russia, then take a look at voting records in the UN on issues that are favourable to Russia or China.
You see the same thing in the western voting block, which has more influence at the moment. You can see how change is difficult when the whole world wants something but one white guy doesnt.
China and Russia have funded and installed infrastructure to increase the quality of life (as in, keep the politicians elected, as well as put into their debt and influence) of most countries that aren't either directly touching America, a part of Western Europe, or down Australia way.
Gee, it's almost like it's important for the long term success of society to have systems in place that make sure it's not a burden to create new people to take over for your generation after their bodies are too old and broken to keep working and society functioning.
Then again, the decisions have already been made by the people with the power to make them, and technology/automation are in line to replace workers. They'll be a little loud and problematic until the numbers naturally even themselves out, but we'll be left with an enlightened society of capitalist asset owners being supported by a massive technological network.
Ever play Plague Inc? The secret to winning is to not become deadly until you've already become engrained and established throughout society. Then you add the deadly features once you're too deep in.
Don't let the cancer establish itself as something innocent. The owner of the platform WILL take any opportunity to seize control of the media so it can seize control of the message.
When a major cultural event occurs, symbols and words can be forced into new meanings in that society after having gone through the significant or traumatic event.
The swastika, historically a symbol symbolizing representing well being and prosperity, now cannot be seen without associating it with hatred fascism.
I think it's relevant for a western country to consider the concept that "Q" can be interpreted in different ways than it was before but a significant number of people, and a large company should have something like that on their radar, especially for a marketing/branding perspective.
Thanks Comrad, I hear they're waiting for you so the recruitment office. Be sure to bring your papers. Don't forget the sunflower seeds in your pocket.
