It's because normal people understand that:
a) Companies who sponsor an event have a right to not be screwed over.
b) Most taxpayers don't want to pay more for the Olympics then they have to.
- rhizome 15y agoa) does that mean the people necessarily have to be screwed over if that's the only way for the company not to be? the desires of commerce necessitate a loss of freedom?

It's stupid to pay to host a branded event that won't let us talk about it. The modern Olympics, at its root, is a scam. A big money party is hosted so local businesses and connected contractors can make a killing and the expenses get charges to taxpayers. It's always justified as economic stimulus but it's the most vague, frivolous possible means of economic stimulus and tax dollars should not be spent on it.
- Joakal 15y agoa) So, mute button is banned on remotes? You're grasping at straws. Do note that the law is far-reaching, beyond the Olympic premises. b) The taxpayer paid billions. The sponsors paid millions. Where can I meet these 'normal people' to explain the basics of liberty, property rights, freedom of association, freedom of speech, etc?
