I wonder how much a commutation costs these days. I mean, can’t be hard to figure out, all you have to do is look at $TRUMP purchases in the days before it was announced. Since the dude reported to prison and days later was busted out, he probably went in, decided “Hello no!” and paid whatever amount of $TRUMP was required to get back out.

That page is so YouTube comment section that I start understanding why there is a war on archive.org. The idea that this kind of stuff is going to be visible long after it’s deleted must be troubling even to those that post it.

I mean, the hypocrisy of everyone involved is just staggering. Ticketmaster got their monopoly only because artists (through their management and booked venues) let them - nobody is forcing Olivia Dean to use Ticketmaster, and their policies have been known for ages.

Ticketmaster, on the other hand, sells you the resale ticket just as if it were new. I don’t think you can even exclude resale tickets from a search, let alone make it the default, which would be the bare minimum of making tickets more affordable.

And then, sadly, there is also our own hypocrisy. We all want to go to the same three concerts when there is a universe of music to explore. I wanted to see Imagine Dragons, but the tickets were 700 a pop. I went to see Caravan Palace instead - totally different music, but the concert was awesome and cost 50.

That would certainly explain why the administration leaned so heavily on Zelenskyy to allow for elections. It wasn’t (only?) because Putin told them to, but also because the obvious refusal would serve as later explanation for the potential indefinite delay in voting in America.
