One of them had Taylor Swift, of whom I'd never heard at the time, on the cover.
My first thought was, What's a 14 year old boy doing on the cover of MAXIM?

How about FTX?
1. The artificial limitation in the oil supply to drive up prices and force worse alternatives on us?
Or 2. artificial limitation in the Taylor Swift supply to drive up prices and force worse alternatives on us?
Oh, wow. Monumental and earth shattering. Let’s fix this mess NOW. [smh]
I agree this is not such an important matter for Congress. The DOJ however should have taken action against Ticketmaster and LiveNation a long time ago.
I don’t begrudge them making as much profit as they can, but I am of the opinion that Ticketmaster knowingly runs a predatory monopoly, has policies that encourage fraudulent activity, and looks the other way at fraud and second-hand market gauging (because it benefits them to sell out shows and creating “artificial demand” and the “perception of demand” by seeing second hand ticket prices at 2x-3x or more the face value). That last part may not necessarily be illegal, but surely are imo decisions driven by their own financial interests and not what is the most efficient or fair for anyone but themselves.
Don’t have time to audit the money going to Ukraine, investigate Hunter’s laptop or look into the collapse of crypto king. And too busy to send anyone to the border to see in real time the human crisis there. But let some 12-year-old girls not get there Taylor Swift tickets and we’ll get right on it.
In her defense...she was likely on-line for hours trying to score tickets as a member of the privileged class. She must have really wanted to go to a Taylor Swift concert. /s
I thought this was the Bee. With that said, I’m more than happy for Democrats to waste their time on this. You get them Amy, don’t put up with this crap!
Why the hell is this on a SENATORS radar??
This is insanity
Yes, remember this when we see a dozen articles in the major media about the republicans focusing on “silly things” like Hunter Biden, but not a single article asking why the federal government should hold hearings into the known fact that Ticketmaster is a horrible company.
Until people are willing to stand up and say “I’m just not going to a concert if I have to buy my tickets through that company”, stupid venues will continue to deal with them.
Democrat/communists are such children.
Because…that’s real important.
“Once again, Amy takes on the most important issues that affect all Americans...”
Don’t disagree with you. I’ve never voted for Amy - not even when she was Hennepin County Attorney. But I will give her credit for one things.
Rightly or wrongly, she makes herself visible. Now we can debate as to whether they are more pressing matters in the world than Ticketmaster (and we’d both agree there are), she manages to find the spotlight.
She shows up to see that old veterans are awarded the Silver Star they never got. She’s always at the state fair greeting people the first day when it opens, etc.
People remember this stuff. It would do our GOP incumbents to do the same. I cite Norm Coleman as an example. between his election in ‘02 and re-election in ‘08, he was the invisible Senator. No one knew WTF he was doing. If he had put 1/2 of the effort in that Amy does, he’d have easily won re-election against Al Franken.
That’s how Tom Daschle survived as long as he did in a red state like South Dakota. He retailed campaigned like there was no tomorrow. he also acted more conservative when he was back in the state too - but that’s a different story.
As much as Amy disgusts me, politically she’s doing the right things. People remember the low IQ things like Ticketmaster and not that she’s votes like a Socialist on most matters. They ignore the fact that she’s really an empty pants suit.
Our GOP incumbents should learn the ins and outs of better politicking too.
Seems like a Taylor Swift/Ticketmaster business arrangement problem between those two Amy.
LOL seriously, tickets got oversold, wow, happens all the time, doesnt require a federal investigation
Happy to see her working for the people /s
Shows used to sell out all the time in the 80’s.
It was part of the allure of bands like The Who and The Stones.
If you didn’t get tickets..,you moved on.
Not sure what the issue is here.
Some teenage girl did not get her ticket to go see Taylor Swift. Boo hoo. So we need senate hearings to find out what happened. Everything else can wait because nothing else is as important as this.
I’m sure we’ve all seen the movie Idiocracy. This type of stuff is all that is important to Gen Z and the Millenials.
