None. As the comment above alluded to, they're GRU/FSB agents. Gaijin is a formerly Russian company.

as a non concert goer I've never heard anything good about ticketmaster. As far as I can tell while it wouldn't help her financially, it would cement her reputation kind of like a David versus Goliath situation. Not to say Swift is a small artist by any means, but many artists over the years have tried and failed to stay out of ticketmaster's monopoly. Green Day, Pearl Jam, Springsteen... oh god I'm aging myself lol.

How about giving them back to Egypt instead of displaying them and not caring what people call them?

She doesn't necessarily need to care, but the Ticketmaster snafu that screwed over her fans is why we are finally seeing action against the monopoly.

The Canadian government also coerces them into driving sober by threatening their livelihoods if they don't.
Talk about tyranny. That's not how individual health decisions like when and where I get to drink should be made. My body, my choice!

I'm not even really a Taylor Swift fan and I'm in support of them.
Ticketmaster should have been fixed years ago but wasn't because they bought the right politicians. It's shameful that we have to rely on activist fans because our government is failing to do their job.

It's more like Walgreens buying CVS and then merging with the only pharmaceutical company in the world.

It is already happening.
What people fail to realize with NFTs is that it is only a link entered into a shared database. Value lies in tracing ownership which is perfect for ticket systems and like.

I'm talking about the truckers driving around the beltway in DC. I'd say read an article about it, but I'm starting to suspect your world view isn't primarily evidence based.

Reply to comment by ApocalypseSpokesman in "This turkey has literally taken over our life": Wild turkey terrorizing neighbors in Minnesota by mikefan
Wild turkeys are capable of either fight or flight.
They roost in trees, and are capable of upward flights of ~20'. The muscles required for such movement are formidable.
At first glance, you'd think fighting a turkey would be easy. However, since they are so much shorter than people, humans are actually at a disadvantage.
The average person thinks they can fight, but anyone who has been online long enough has seen plenty of videos where even guys who lift end up swinging punches at thin air. The survival rate of turkeys to adulthood is around 8 - 10%. Any adult turkey you see lived that long by ducking, dodging, and being faster than those who didn't make the cut.
Back to the height disparity: turkeys are operating at a different level--probably no higher than your waist. Your torso--crotch--is directly at attack height for them. Whereas anyone unfortunate enough to try to fight a turkey, has to look down, putting them immediately out of their comfort zone.
Instinctively, people think they're going to punch a turkey, but figure out right away that isn't going to work--your arms aren't going to reach, so they go for the soccer ball kick, but their legs make it so their bodies are actually knee-high, not ankle high.
Now, if the average person can't punch, they are even worse at kicking. Humans can't kick for shit. We're not talking about the French football team.
Turkeys might have small brains, but their eyes allow them to see "faster" than we do, so they excel at dodging--they can also pick up a single kernel of corn off the ground, so their coordination is better than a human's. They can hop backwards, to the side, or do a flying leap at you. And a flying leap means their wings are outstretched (they seem twice as big), and their beak is coming right at you, often with lots of gobbling noises, with a double kick attack (for any TTRPG fans out there this is three attacks in a round. Five if you count wing attacks. And if you think being slapped in the face with a turkey wing is not a big deal, you'd be wrong again because it can bruise your face).
This combination tends to startle most people into stumbling backwards, which is a retreat to the turkey, which only encourages them to press their advantage.
-
It's easy to trap turkeys--although this is illegal in most states. And of course it is easy to shoot them, but again, only legal during hunting season, with the proper paperwork, and most certainly not in a residential neighborhood, which is where most conflicts occur.

Idk, is there a financial incentive for her to break it up? I can’t see her caring (like, truly caring, not just making empty statements) otherwise

Reply to comment by artful_nails in Nova Scotia university NSCAD takes “bold steps” to fight racism by excluding certain ethnicities by Advanced_Rain_8885
No, that's not how it works.
Many things in life have a lot of nuance. Racism doesn't. You don't "get so anti racist you become racist" You are just racist, or not. And yes, that also means that if you're so "anti racism" you become racist then you were never anti racist. You were just a racist discriminating against one specific race instead of another.
