No give, only take!!!

That can’t sounds like won’t

Violence is always the answer. The questions are simple:

How do we gain a political advantage? How do we gain an economic advantage? How do we gain a social advantage?

Anyone that says violence is not the answer doesn’t understand the tools that marginalize them and the people they care about.

Oh I get it.

Yeah running countries is a series of shitty compromises, unless you are small enough to gain consensus.

The drone strikes thing is a bad example. If he didn’t touch it, individual combat units could use drones with impunity. He required drone strikes to be approved by his office.

Tell me if you had the choice between sending in boots to kill a guy, or drone strike, would you really ever risk your guys getting shot?

He added red tape, the minimum thing he could do. I’ll agree with criticism that he did the bare minimum, but all these comments about this frame it like he was horny for drones. That’s reductive and misleading.

It would be irresponsible to play at a venue that can’t handle the crowd needs that the artist would attract.

Breaking up Live Nation is the solution. Expecting musicians to put touring on hold while that happens isn’t reasonable.

Yeah sure, they could go play in a field, and never play in Live Nation venues ( which is basically all of them)

Then they can worry about transit access, food and beverage services, garbage, toilets, safety staff, medical staff, weather, ticket vending( because if they play for free 10x people will come), local accommodation, local permits, stage construction, electrical service, rentals for the above equipment and materials… I’m sure I’m forgetting something.

Just read a bit.

That’s a super naive take.

Twenty years ago when I was 13, I started doing web stuff. This was back when everything was super simple, so everything to get a webserver up was super manual. I’ll mention port forwarding at my current job and there’s this slice of people that are 28-40 years old that know what I’m talking about.

pistachios
