My son loves hot pot restaurants. So, we go to this place and order. There's this kinda Ipad thing on the table and you can punch in what you want if you decide to order more.

NY Times - Justice Department Said to Investigate Ticketmaster’s Parent Company
The inquiry predates the botched presale of Taylor Swift tickets this week and is said to focus on whether Live Nation has abused its power in the live music industry.

Swift has only passive-agressively referred to them (not by name) and the current situation (she's being paid by them just like the rest.)
