Imagine if an artist like Taylor Swift actually stood up to TM too… Instead, she just shrugged while banking all that extra, demand pricing money. Robert Smith is a hero and an ally to fans everywhere.

The 1/r^2 probably doesn’t apply due to many assumptions that don’t hold in this case.

I think the aim here is exposure though. People in the US are being screwed and it needs more people like him to shine light on the system for it to be overhauled or regulated. Better than doing nothing at all.

My first thought when seeing this was the bathroom in one of the Sandy Hook classrooms where 17 of the victims were killed.

I honestly feel like Northfolk should be forced to pay the people affected far above going rate for the land and be forced to rehab it. That shit is incredibly unsafe and it could linger for a long time.

Isn't that what the citizens of Ohio keep insisting on?
I liken it to someone refusing to buy insurance and then pleading for a bailout when disaster strikes.
All those "bad government regulations" were meant to prevent this stuff from happening. You know, the regulations that the right wing has been actively undermining and dismantling for like half a century now. And it's not like it's the politicians that are doing it secretly. It's literally what the average GOP voter wants and calls for: fewer regulations and super low taxes. So here you are: no regulations to stop this from happening, and no welfare safety net to help out if disaster strikes.
They made this bed, it's time they learn from it. Otherwise, these instances will only increase and the red state voters will insist on bailouts while continuing to vote for deregulation. As the conservative adage goes: give a man a fish, yatta yatta, teach a man to appreciate regulations and there might still be healthy fish left for you to catch.

Yeah, you obviously don't want the government looking out for it's citizens health. They should just get cancer and deal with it the old fashioned way, by going into massive amounts of debt!

Now if he could just convince them not to be a huge illegal monopoly that operates in full view of everyone, that would be great.
