I had to pay back my $1k EIDL payment AND the state has determined I have to pay back both state and federal unemployment insurance because they failed to do their job while they prohibited me from working in my field.
It’s mind boggling to me that Chris Brown and Lil Wayne are the ones whose photos are featured in this story🙄This is so exhausting given that people who created this way of grifting are often NOT featured! There is even a “criminal justice”/⚪️ collar crime system created to protect their criminality!
This is a weird take. These are actual artists. Instead of focusing your interest on taxpayers subsidies of OIL. ELON. DRUGS. You chose art? WTF??? I chose art … for my tax money.
but it’s just one more of countless instances where we (as a country) banded together to keep one another safe in trying times, and we underestimated the extent of the rot in our culture that made people of all stripes encounter tragedy and instead see opportunity. Musicians aren’t exempt.
Music has always been shit on by government. I was at a label during Tipper. Oy. I hope their efforts continue to make all artists stronger in their art.
this is also a very fair and—my gosh!—historical take. heard! i’m
just hella prickly about the prevalence of folks turning communal desperation into personal profit.
Certainly #DOGE bros Elon & Vivek are going to get this U.S. taxpayer money back from these millionaire jerks, right?
Nope.
Instead, they'll ensure America's seniors are financially squeezed to death.
Look the sad fact is nothing will be done about this. How do I think that? Well, nothing happened over the release of the Panama Papers. Why would it change now?
To boot, these grants were not meant for performers, they were meant for venues…
Let’s hope GAO dives deeper as new DOGE will continue in the old Trump traditions of privatising profits …
And Empty Greene--who's stoked about the so-called ED (efficiency department, to be run by two droopy middle-aged men)--didn't contest the forgiveness of her PPP loan + interest: $183,504. Which she absolutely can afford to repay.
Greed is the serious illness that's fucking our shit up. We're fucked. Dumbass trump voters can't recognize the class war. Alice and chains are fucking nasty ass demons.
But, BUT, Taylor Swift, the CEO of Taylor Swift, gave out bonuses to employees of her company. Like, OMG, she's so awesome. In fact, she doesn't have to pay for ANYTHING. But she paid her employees!! Yay Billionaires!!!
meanwhile the government put a lien on my mom's house because her mortgage company sent a check for the wrong amount to pay her property taxes last year

It's way past time
Why can’t we get it back?
