I'm not sure how much of a Germany's war is this. From what I gather, if we had any kind of deal to stop the war tomorrow, they would be more than happy and eager to start discussing (energy) business again. Also, Greece is not

Ticketmaster is actually in bed with the scalpers [1]. Not only they make money because of the original sale to the scalpers, it seems they also get a second commission when a consumer buys from the scalper to "verify" the sale. [

> I'm saying that the seller in your example is a scalper. They're not. Intent and quantity are the defining traits of scalpers. If you're buying a single ticket with original intent to use it, you are not a scalper.

Yes, but they're not buying "a bunch of tickets". They buy (almost) ALL of the tickets in a matter of minutes. If you could afford to buy ALL of the DeBeers stock, it would have a similar effect on the diamonds market: You co

They don't increase demand. They only increase prices because they buy in a matter of minutes ALL of the supply. Then the only way to get a ticket is through the scalpers. And OFC, they will charge you way ABOVE what would be the free

Yes, but with competing theories or explanations, the simpler one, for example a model with fewer parameters, is to be preferred [1]. It's a razor fight then! [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occam%27s_razor

No they're not. Tokyo Dome may not be well known outside of Japan, but at least it's unambiguous: It is the Tokyo Dome vs. a football field. Even football itself is ambiguous.
