Incredibly depressing read Perhaps you have to have a "fuck everyone" attitude to get to the top of the tree Quote of the day... "Nobody is more covetous or greedy than those who have far too much" Christopher Hitchens

I was reading an article about a Facebook moderator yesterday. The stuff they see is as you might expect , horrible. He concluded that people are awful. If I'm being sympathetic I'd say life has become so demanding that it has ripped the empathy out of many.

Well done you money grabbing filth en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Ana_Clara_BenevidesThe death sparked a widespread public condemnation of T4F for their poor concert management. Many Swifties claimed that the water bottle ban, exacerbated by the heat wave, caused attendees to fall sick and led to Benevides' death. Swift publicly grieved for Benevides and postponed her 18 November concert to 20 November, citing "extreme temperatures". Politicians such as the federal minister of justice and public security, Flávio Dino, and the mayor of Rio de Janeiro, Eduardo Paes, announced that appropriate precautions would be implemented in the public events henceforth, with free water stations amongst other obligations. Congresswoman Erika Hilton opined that T4F should be held accountable and voiced for a bill that criminalizes lack of free water at concerts.

Touts on trial www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-norfolk-68021037Staff at a touting firm mocked customers they exploited by selling tickets to sold out events at inflated prices, a court heard.
TQ Tickets Ltd used multiple identities to buy tickets for concerts and plays. including Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, before selling them on secondary sales sites, prosecutors said.
Mark Woods, 59, and Lynda Chenery, 51, of Dickleburgh, Norfolk, each deny three counts of fraudulent trading.
The pair's spouses admit the offences.
Prosecutors showed jurors messages between Paul Douglas, who has admitted fraudulent trading, and his wife Lynda Chenery.
Douglas described a customer who bought two tickets for the popular Harry Potter West End show for £535 each as "another idiot".
The face value of tickets was about £130, a trial at Leeds Crown Court heard.
Ms Chenery replied to a Skype messaging and said, "plenty of them it seems".
"Greed and dishonesty" motivated the firm that "exploited" music lovers out of more than £6.5m, prosecutors said.
The firm also used multiple identities to buy tickets for artists such as Ed Sheeran and Little Mix, before selling them on secondary ticket sites, the court heard.
Prosecutor Jonathan Sandiford KC said: "This was all about milking customers for profit - ripping them off, in effect."

The Eagles and Steely Dan are playing at the brand new arena here in May and according to what I've read today about the presale the prices are a new low in outrageousness.

Who is paying these ludicrous prices?
No one is worth £455 let alone Eagles and Steely Dan in some enormodome
As for Grace Jones in Halifax - I just can't believe there's enough GJ fans in that area with that kind of dosh. I saw her at a festival a few years back and the entire weekend tickets was cheaper than that. A great show should anyone have just won the lottery and fancies a night out in Halifax

People have got so hard faced and ruthless they'd sooner play to a half empty hall than charge less it seems.
Funny in a way.
