These tickets were all listed at only 20 dollars, stop trying to make these guys out to be the bad guys. Ticketmasters fees added up to more than the tickets themselves, which the bands have zero control over those fees. Dont even listen to the cure but getting their fans back like half the extra fees they spent (which the band sees 0 dollars from those fees) is a good thing.

Yeah cleanup at big fests is always worth it, especially ones that draw an international audience. So many people will buy camping equipment, supplies, etc and then just abandon it all at the fest grounds when its over. All my newest tents and camping equipment are groundscores from fests, have enough equpement for a whole crew to camp.

Festival groundscores were my favorite part of the last day of camping fests. At tomorrowworld in georgia it POURED its ass off the last 2 days so everyone left and abandoned their shit. There were giant piles of tents and abandoned camping supplies everywhere, so i went diving. Left with a recharable 72 hour 4 outlet power supply, brand new tent, tarps, etc. But the best was this book with a lockbox inside i found, got it open and found a bunch of drugs, and like 800 bucks in cash. Covered all my festival expenses and then more.

Flippers suck, but the flippers in my scenes definitely will exceed the old rule of 20k sales / 200 transactions normally anyway. Meanwhile i have countless single items that would exceed this new rule of 600 dollars. I also have no documentation on all these items, since some are up to a decade old, so how tf do i prove if i sell a canvas painting for say 2k that i paid the same amount for it years ago (and taxes were paid on both the buying and selling side back then). If i cant prove i paid x amount for it, is it treated as pure profit in the business sense? And if so, that means paying a big chunk of taxes ontop of that. The whole thing is just extremely overthetop and is going to hurt hobbyists as much if not more than the flippers.

Im a collector of a few things and this rule would have absolutely devasted the collectible markets im involved in. Good its being pushed back a year but unless the threshhold is changed to 10/20k as mentioned in the article its still going to ruin the hobby for hundreds if not thousands in my scenes. No one wants to start up and run a small business, reporting on everything they buy sell etc, figure out business deductions, just to buy and sell prints, enamel pins, pokemon cards, etc for fun. Figuring out / understanding taxes for all of it is not simple whatsoever.

Alright i get reddit doesnt like him but i looked around and can find zero evidence of him being anti gay marriage. Some posts about being pro life or happy about having a children, but thats about it there.

Also people dunk on him for being a shit actor and yet everyone loves gotg and parks and rec. Not saying im a fan of his overly religious attitude at all, but he gets this weird hatred on reddit more than so many other actors despite not having anything really controversial to say.

Heres james gunns take on the whole weird rabid internet hate on pratt. Id say hes knows him pretty well....
