By mid-September, we received available dates at these arenas through the end of the year. But once they found out these were my benefit shows for Palestine, those dates were suddenly off the table.
The doors were closed. The conversations were all different, but the result was the same. The shows were not going to be allowed to happen in these venues.
No US arena tour…
Because all our biggest venues are privately owned by billionaires even though residents pay for them via taxes and get insanely overcharged just by walking near one.
The real problem here is that, cities/states need to just say fuck it and take them.
Immanent Domain, calculate the offered price as value minus what to government and taxpayers already paid for it.
Then the already existing laws would prevent this bullshit.
Edit:
As a bonus, they wouldn’t be named bullshit like “crypto(dot)com Arena”…
It’s fucked up I didn’t even register how dystopian that is when I quoted it, it’s just so normalized these days.
None of this uber capitalist bullshit has to happen, we can just tell em to fuck off and take our resources back.
*Eminent domain
I tried that and it autocorrected to “Eminem Domain” everytime I tried to spell eminent…
So I just went with immanent
Quick edit:
No idea why anyone down voted you, you’re correct
M&Mt domain. That’s my domain. No peanuts. I love this stuff, It’s a shame that https://lemmy.world/c/boneappletea isn’t more active. There’s always https://www.reddit.com/r/BoneAppleTea/ (apologies for the R link) though.
Because small-minded people this a spelling correction is disagreement.
I disagre!
Your autocorrect has suffered brain damage from trying to understand Hagel.
