    You have no data to confirm that the historical data on ticket prices they used is also specific to the Bay Area, only the Taylor Swift ticket price.

    You shared this because it aligns with your world view without taking a moment to consider the validity of the data, which is perfectly ironic considering how full-throated you are to try and make a piss-poor argument that I’m somehow trying to be an apologist for capitalism because I dared to challenge data that’s obviously incorrect.

    Capitalism is plenty bad for a myriad of reasons, it doesn’t require false information to prove that point. Hyperbole does not strengthen an argument, it weakens it.

    Do some self-reflection.

      “Do some reflection” is so ironic from someone who kept repeating that they were using scalper/resale prices when the data right there said that those prices were higher than the ones that they were using in the graph $900 vs $1600.

      It is more that the graph doesnt align with your world view and you are looking for excuses to tear it apart just so your point of view stays unshaken. That is shown by the fact that I provided the description that said that the price of resale tickets that they encountered was significantly higher than the one they used, yet you blatantly chose to ignore it, on the reply to the description. You didn’t do any critical analysis. Yet you are here preaching me about critical analysis.

      You say that capitalism is plenty of bad yet you keep undermining its effects. Sounds like revisionist bullshit to me.
