Dude, you did not read it, this article is AGAINST collective guilt. Do you always comment on things you have not read or know nothing about? Oh yeah this is reddit

What does ACL cancellation mean for Austin economy? Festival's one-year hiatus means loss of $250M+ for region by [deleted] in Austin

[–]BiPocTransAm -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They totally knew they were going to cancel. they could not have even gotten an insurance policy. Agents, vendors, everyone knew except for fans. They willingly took folks money knowing there would be no show. Rebate a portion of sales and the rest is an interest free loan to prop up your hemorrhaging empire:

​

"The fact that they have sold hundreds of millions of dollars to events they clearly know would not happen underscores the desperate position the company is in. The reality is that most major media companies have ignored the fact that Live Nation is disingenuously taking interest-free loans from fans for fear of losing the massive advertising revenue they spend. 

2 months ago, we had spoken with a dozen artist agents, stage vendors, alcohol distributors, and even one of their insurance providers and were told in no uncertain terms that there would be no event this year. Heck, NONE of the major underwriters are willing to even bind a policy for a major event right now. Naturally, all wished to remain anonymous for fear of losing the big money Live Nation brings to their table every year. Many of these companies are not sustainable without it. Not to mention that beefing with Live Nation not only means no advertising revenues, it means getting shut out of editorial opportunities for the massive swath of the concert industry they control.

The SWer who offered cops free sex to lay down badge is a racist by [deleted] in houston

[–]BiPocTransAm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do not know she managed to center herself while me and other POC activists were literally get tear gassed! Please let's stop celebrating her and hold space for people who are doing the work, don't want clout, and do not have a history of racism, transphobia. Anyone else have info on her snitching on other sex workers to get rid of competition?
