Rant: Trying to buy tickets for the Knicks game at MSG. Is it really impossible to have a ticketing platform that prevents scalpers from marking up prices to an insane amount?

$10000+ for a ticket that originally costs around 2k should be illegal. Most of these tickets will go unsold I'm sure.

Ask HN: Why hasn't there been a real competitor to Ticketmaster yet?

It feels like every event/venue is selling tickets exclusively through Ticketmaster. Every other ticketing platform seems to only hold resale tickets in their inventory which just transfers the tickets to your Ticketmaster account when bought. With all the hate Ticketmaster has gotten and all the other ticketing platforms out there, I'm surprised Ticketmaster still has a hold of pretty much the entire market. How are they doing this? Why haven't the other platforms been able to compete?

No I'm more concerned with OpenAI and Anthropic AI models being used as a tool to murder brown people in the middle east for our "greatest ally".

This applies to Americans in general. I think for the past couple of years most Americans have been waking up to the fact that we have been the "bad guy" in every conflict we've been in since WWII.

Crazy to think that one day people will be canceled for saying the 'C' word.

When did Americans care so much about the poor laborers from India? Honest question. The United States is well known for funding a genocide and protecting pedophiles. Do you think they or the people who live there care?

Can you provide a source for any of this that is not just American or Isreali propaganda? Because I know you can't

The most powerful country in the world is run by an elite class of genocidal pedophiles who also (allegedly) eat people. People in the west are fed lies through the media that those same people have full control over. We are given a false sense of freedom. Freedom of speech only protects you from those who have significantly less power than those you actually need protection from. If those people want you gone you'll disappear without trace.

Are you saying Iran, a country that was just sanctioned to hell for almost half a century, with a defense budget of at most $30B is outsmarting our $2T/year military which we consider to be the greatest in the world? The can't be. That's literally the only thing that makes this nation "great". That would imply that our country is being led by morons

I'm sure the Pentagon did not come up with this idiotic plan. I doubt the current admin is utilizing their frontal lobe.

I doubt this admin is playing 4d chess with Iran. The more likely scenario is that Trump was given all information about Iran and was given several plans for a more indirect way to deal with them but he simply did not listen. He'd rather listen to lies fed to him by Netanyahu then his own staff.
