It also won’t fix bots or scalpers. I think if Ticketmaster had maybe had a semi-competent ticket sale (which hello, they should be able to do) this wouldn’t be an issue at all. People got pissed off after they were in the queues all day and then kicked off or didn’t get tickets after waiting for so long.

And yeah, artists generally earn more from touring than actual music sales. Not sure how that works with an artist like Swift who sells a lot of music, and I think she owns the rights to her music as well.

Yup, growing up in the ‘80s and ‘90s this was a huge rivalry. They played in a bunch of NFC championship games. The Catch, Jimmy Johnson’s “how bout them Cowboys” speech. When I saw this matchup come up it was like reliving my childhood all over again. I showed my 8-year-old nephew the video of The Catch and he’s been trying to recreate it in his living room much to his mother’s dismay (although it might be better than the usual catch he tries to recreate, which is Justin Jefferson’s catch against the Bills).

There have been some great bottle episodes though. The Chinese restaurant episode of Seinfeld, The One Where No One’s Ready on Friends. Brooklyn Nine-Nine had the episode where Jake and Holt did the all-night interrogation.

Schools don’t really get to Vietnam. US history classes normally top off at the Civil Rights movement. You get many years with a heavy focus on the pilgrims/early America, Revolutionary War, Civil War, World War II.

Also Vietnam is such a complex issue that I don’t think it could be properly taught in a high school history course.

Not sure why you're getting downvoted. If a person on this board is ever accused of a crime, he or she will have the right to a trial by a jury of their peers. That's what we are all taking part in as part of our democracy.

If you can't afford to go for jury duty, note that when you fill out your form.
