This is about scalpers. (Which includes Ticketmaster.)

During the height of the pandemic many scalpers were claiming that they were a crucial part of capitalism. That what they were doing was important for the economy.

I agree with you, I'm sending a subtle nod to the fact that, that line of distinction is becoming so thin it's almost invisible.

That's fine, but the comic doesn't make that distinction anywhere. Buying in bulk and reselling higher is what every store in existence does.
