Isn't 100.000 dollar watches and ~200 dollar standing concert tickets in Europe a bit too close for comfort*?

    Seems like Vedder's spiel is being replayed to support Trump.

    If I resented Pearl Jam as much as some others here seem to, I probably wouldn't be paying an annual fee to be in their fan club... but maybe that's just me.

    Doesn’t tenclubbers in similiar market economy situations usually just say ”if you don’t like it don’t buy (and leave the club so my number is better)?”. Doesn’t that fit here.

    Not quite the same. With PJ, you get what you paid for, e.g. a concert ticket, a t-shirt, membership in the 10-club, etc.

    The MAGA faithful think they're contributing to Trump's (re)election but he literally moves these campaign funds to his bank account and uses them stay out of jail, fly around on private jets, play golf, ...

    It's funny. Dinky local politicians would be prosecuted by the feds if they spent too much money on Chinese takeout with their campaign funds, but this guy funds his whole stupid life with them and, nothing.

    Big difference here, one guy is a so called politician and the other is a rock band. Trump has sold ugly gold sneakers, trading cards , ugly watches, pieces of his suit that he was arrested in because he’s a felon. Trump is a disgrace trying to sell his crap to the cult members who go to his lying filled rallies. He’s a con artist with no integrity. The guy would sell you Don jr if he could. Gotta pay off all those legal fees.
