@rbreich why isn't there a "#RevenueTax" applicable to all revenue?
@rbreich That $145M number must be a joke. They make that much every day with their monopoly power.

@jab01701mid That has to be a monthly report, theives!

Robert Reich
@rbreich.bsky.social
Live Nation/Ticketmaster paid ZERO
federal income tax last year largely due
to Trump's tax cuts, despite reporting
$145M in profits.
And it just struck a sweetheart antitrust
lawsuit deal with Trump's DOJ that
doesn't break the ticket monopoly up.
Remember that Trump works on behalf
of the most powerful corporations.
Not you.

@hskzoom @rbreich So we pay more in ticketmaster tax than they pay in federal tax

Vive le monopol? Non!

Impose et démolisse le monopol!

@rbreich
And they do it while providing nearly zero actual service or benefit to ticket purchasers. They merely put up a payment barrier. Consider how relatively silly inexpensive it would be (or was) for venues to set up their own online sales sites or have people sitting at box office counters.

@rbreich Yeah.

I'm just blocking this guy now. I suggest others do the same. This is all he does. Posts images of his posts to other social media sites, doesn't provide alt text so that people can read the text that is now an image, and I don't think I've ever seen him reply to anyone. Certainly not anyone calling him out on this.

I consider the behavior parasitic at this point.

@crazyeddie @rbreich
He does have an RSS feed over at the Nazi bar, if that helps.

@rbreich yup... trump and the 2 parties work for special interests... and so do the fake socialist/fake proressive political complex by stopping any REAL progressive candidate from getting any traction.

UBI or BUST

@rbreich
145m as a middleman for entertainment? Sounds just as bad as middleman amazon making billions selling other peoples products.
@rbreich It was the plan after all, subverting the election willfully lying 2020 was rigged, which is illegal on so many levels, but.... here we are.
