this fiasco with and after the takedown brings up this enraging question: why does the average make so little money?

society clearly values artistic output. writers, musicians, comics, etc create content that is voraciously consumed. why does the staggering amount of money spent on things like books and music (a damn fortune by me!) end up in the hands of middlemen?

publishers and and making bank gaming the market sucks

@luckyduck capitalism. Does it to everything. Ski resorts are another thing that capitalism has ruined. Looking at you Vail Resorts.

@Myphatself seriously! you just reminded me that the game monopoly was made to show that it always ends up as a monopoly in real life!

anything we want (skiing, music, books) or need (healthcare) ends up with someone in the middle making money and eventually controlling the price

@luckyduck And they decided to do it just few days before the Qatar WC, insane coincidence
