You may know the drill. You get online at 10am, several months before the show, and receive a place in the virtual queue. Perhaps you notice with dismay that your number is larger than the capacity of the venue. Perhaps you then lose your place because you’ve been misidentified as a bot, or the site crashes altogether. If you make it to the front, you may well wonder why £100 (plus about £20 in opaque surcharges) now qualifies as a cheap seat. And that’s if there are any cheap seats left, not just inflated VIP packages. And you may ask yourself why it has to be like this.

I feel like this is relevant to the sub. If not, feel free to remove.

The statistics confirm a catastrophic toll: Nestlé’s aggressive marketing of infant formula in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) directly caused ~10.9 million infant deaths between 1960–2015, with peaks of 212,000 deaths annually in the early 1980s. This was driven by promoting formula in regions without clean water access, leading to fatal waterborne diseases when formula was mixed with contaminated water.

In the US, there is basically one party - the business party. It has two factions, called Democrats and Republicans, which are somewhat different but carry out variations on the same policies. By and large, I am opposed to those policies. As is most of the population.

Multiple people have claimed to have verified this. I'm not going to use my account to do so, but feel free to give it a try if you want to risk it.
