## Resource

StubHub is facing a proposed class action lawsuit after thousands of FIFA World Cup ticket buyers allege the resale giant never delivered their tickets — a messy case that’s putting “speculative ticketing” and last-minute seller cancellations back under the spotlight. Plus, Pokémon cards are exploding into a $15B+ collectibles economy, as Millennials and Gen Z turn childhood nostalgia into a high-risk investment frenzy that’s driving six-figure sales (and even real-world thefts). And in The Big Picture: Ottawa and B.C. strike a “generational” deal to uphold the North Coast tanker ban, OpenAI reportedly floats the idea of giving the U.S. government a stake, and SpaceX previews an xAI-integrated device concept for investors.
