      Little issues should not be ignored because there exists a big other issue. There will always be a bigger issue, so with that reasoning, the right time to do something about the little issue, would be never.

      Working on smaller issues also doesn’t stop anyone from working on the bigger issues, processes like this can happen in parallel.

      It’s baffling to see how society has evolved into a mindset where everything is viewed in black and white. It’s as if the concept that two things can be true or occur simultaneously is inconceivable. We have US Senators genuinely attempting to contribute to causes that, while they might not be of utmost importance, certainly have the potential to enhance our lives. Yet, here you are, implying that we should withhold our support. What is your suggestion, then? To simply wait in the hope that someone else might come up with a slightly better solution for something else? We shouldn’t so easily inhibit progress.

        They’re senators. They can literally call up the FTC (who should be investigating this) and complain. They can increase the FTCs budget as well. They can subpoena the head of Ticketmaster and ask them questions directly.

      I think the divide is bigger on more important issues, so compromise and bipartisanship are more likely on less headline-grabbing issues.

      There’s a million other things you could have done that would have been more useful than posting your comment but here you are.
