I'm probably one of the least capitalism-minded commenters on HN, but this is a case where I'm happy to let the market sort itself out. It's not food, shelter, medicine, or housing.

I'm absolutely not convinced that the problem is as widespread as people make it out to be, outside of a few big names or events.

Because it's just the system manifesting itself. There are winners and losers, and the winners are usually those with the most money.

I really find it odd to see people being this vocal for Taylor Swift tickets or Pokemon cards. If I use my capital to buy ten houses to rent, then I'm an investor. If I use it to outbid a city for electricity to feed my data center, then I'm a captain of industry. But the shiny charmander card is where people draw the line?
