The world we live in isn't just dystopic, it isn't just stupid, trying to describe all the ways it sucks just makes for a really boring story.

I keep saying things like this on lemmy and catching hate.

"Video games companies are fucking us!"

"Have you considered not buying their games?"

"FUCK YOOOUUUU!"

If I have a non-essential product, I'm selling it for every penny I can wrench out of the public (idiots). Hell, even with food you got options. I'm on the edge of a little redneck suburb and have 7 grocery stores within 10-miles. I vote with my wallet at the rundown places that are half the price of Publix. I won't begrudge Publix's ludicrous pricing, I just won't go.

Hey guys: If you are paying for this shit, you are the problem, not the system.

I think the delivery might be the problem more than the message, based on this anyway. But you're not really wrong. Food, clothing, shelter - these are all things you have to obtain, or die. Not so much the case with concert tickets or video games.

Also, that avidamoeba person you replied to wasn't saying concert tickets are a fundamental right, they're saying that prices would go up even if people stop buying, because it's a monopoly and monopolies usually require a government to break up.
