Description
If you log onto Twitter these days, the vibe is akin to what we imagine being on the deck of the Titanic was like, you know, riiiight after it hit the iceberg.
Qatar spent ~US$300 billion (roughly 6.8 Twitters) on World Cup 2022, making it the most expensive FIFA contest ever.
A disastrous presale of tickets for Taylor Swift’s upcoming tour has landed Ticketmaster (and its parent company Live Nation) in hot water with an army of Swifties—and (only a slightly more powerful force) the US Justice Department.
