BLM = bureau of land management = public land. Anyone can use public land for a wide variety of purposes as long as you clean up after yourself including hosting music festivals
When people complain about high concert prices they are mostly talking about tickets for the huge artists
Congrats you have invented Coachella
The issue isn’t venue price it’s that demand is much higher than supply. Venues can price gouge you when you go to a concert for a huge artist because they know people will pay. A concert organized on BLM land in the desert will still have to have organizers
Yeah so many fantastic small bands charging a lot less for tickets and they’re much easier to find now than in the past. My favorite artist right now charged like $40 for tickets to their most recent tour

I mean like a month ago the US did what Russia failed to in Ukraine, yoinking Maduro and de facto taking over the country. The US similarly killed Iran’s leader like a few days into the war.
Just because the countries that were in or aligned with the former USSR are working against American interests doesn’t mean the Cold War never ended lol. For example the fight with China is much more about economics trade manufacturing influence etc than over communism vs capitalism and China isn’t even communist anymore. The conflict with China is definitely a different one imo bound by very different rules
Russia can’t even successfully invade their neighbor, a former USSR member
I think it’s because laptop vendors are threatened by the MacBook Neo, which is the first serious threat to PC sales for non tech people who buy the shitty $300 laptops at Best Buy since Chromebooks, which is the majority of the market. Bad press about Windows absolutely will convince people to get one instead of a windows laptop
Linux could also be a genuine threat if someone like Valve comes out with a Linux laptop for gamers or a major vendors starts preinstalling like Ubuntu or Fedora on consumer oriented laptops but I doubt any major vendors would unless they have a serious falling out with MS
Nobody using Instagram DM’s is actually going to go out of their way to encrypt messages like that, people who care about privacy are going to move their conversations to Signal or another secure app with E2EE built in
An acronym can have multiple meanings
