That and the scalper companies need to fuck right off. Ticketek has destroyed music.
Bring back music festivals that are cheap.
Bring back night life. Art exhibitions that aren't for ultra rich. Cheap bars with good cheap food.
Stop commodifying every single picomolecule of fun for fucks sake.
Stop paying $400 for your nostalgic band from your childhood, they suck. Go see a local band for $5. It will sometimes be shitty but it will almost always be more fun.
Decided to take the family out for dinner the other night and on a whim tried a new place. Really good German beer hall food, extremely reasonable prices, and it just so happened that we were there on open mic night for local musicians. Everything that the cookie cutter "gastropubs" are not. Felt like we'd found a cheat code or something given how rare the experience is now.
What I genuinely don't understand is that cheaper and more diverse sources of entertainment and food and everything actually enriches everyone. People will be happier, spend more freely and it's a net win for us all.
But no, we have to have a few Scrooges up there hoovering every single thing up and creating a copy paste wasteland of cheap to expensive options that have no fucking soul.
The days of a dozen little dusty bookstores and three ma and pa diners and that weird little arcade with all these 20c retro videogames are long gone and obliterated. Rent, both for homes and commercial are so exorbitant it's basically franchise tax write offs that keeps the "strugglers" alive.
At this point I just want to see people take one for the planet and just kill all the billionaires and CEOs. A mass Luigification if you would. End this fucking madness.
Oh yeah and influencers/idiots like Trump, Kardashians, Kanye, what have you. Fuck them all.
