The SBA’s SVOG grants were intended for struggling small artists. But big stars like Post Malone and Chris Brown got $200M in pandemic relief funds.
PPP loans must be one of the largest transfers of wealth over a short period of time in history. So much of our money funneled into the already rich and corporations. And in classic American fashion those “loans” will be forgiven.
Fucking country is a circus.
I mean isn’t Nickelback Candian? But my 10K left of Parent Plus Student loans… Well fuck me evidently…
Nah that’s alright, you guys can keep em
How bout we make a deal and just stick them on one of those gods forsaken islands in the middle of the great lakes.
Poor people’s loans obviously wint be forgiven or forgotten
To be clear, the thing being talked about in the article was not a ppp loan, but a grant. There is no indication anyone, intended recipient or not, is supposed to pay this one back
Grants have rules, and it looks like these rich fucks (who never needed any of that money) just pocketed it. People are fucking losing their homes and are starving and these goddamned talentless conservative grifters are profiting from the misery.
Why would the oligarchy allow proles to have any taste of financial freedom? The point of their existence is indentured servitude…
But dare to forgive student loans or even mortgages? SOCIALISMS!
What, you spent your whole $1200 relief check already?
But student loan debt is shackled to you for life with little relief. When we fought for it we were told to fuck off by republicans. Cool. So PPP loans for millionaires are a-okay. But not the average citizen; who pays the taxes in the first place btw. Cool. Cool cool cool.
Dw it will trickle down :^)
Other stars like Bonnie Raitt and Justin Bieber paid their production crews from their own pockets when the pandemic canceled their concerts, Arko noted.
Fuck me. Never thought I’d ever have even a speck of respect for Bieber, but I guess I do now.
Bieber actually turned into a surprisingly down to earth adult after being a massive douche in his teens. It was around the Comedy Central roast I started to respect him and he’s continued to come across as a genuinely good person since then. Even in candid clips.
I’m not gonna pretend like he’s doing great things and all but I also have a strong suspicion he’s got a reputation reversal PR team that controls every aspect of his social life and that’s why he’s always hanging out with the mega church pastors that wear their swimming trunks down to their ankles in public to show off their pelvic tans and have only positive news clips where he’s praying for Africa and throwing wads of cash into subway station crowds. He’s becoming the new Ellen.
As long as he keeps pretending with good actions it’s a step up. I would rather him be fake and help the crews with his money than not.
Child star goes through a douchey phase, tale as old as time
Many of them don’t make it through.
I feel like Jason Bateman is a great example of child star who became a douche, then survived and grew out of it.
Well shit. It’s always nice when people grow and mature, wish it happened more often! Good for him.

Greed.
Anything that gets them money is by definition capitalism and by definition good! /s (Yes there are many economists/businessmen that think anything that makes money is by definition good.)
It’s almost like there is a reason Vancouver collectively disowned Nickleback.
Every time I see Chris Brown’s name, I’m reminded that this piece of shit is still rich and famous. People are disappointing.
And a wifebeater too ffs! 🤬🤬🤬
Yah, that’s kind of why he’s referenced to as a piece of shit.
Well we know what post Malone did with some of it. He bought that stupid magic the gathering card for like $2 million.
As a magic fan I’m pretty sour at Posty for this. Loved that he brought more mainstream attention to magic, but not like this. Mr Down To Earth is counting his beans just like the rest of them I guess.
The whole thing is a stain tbh on MTG. Clearly just a way to make money moving sealed product as people hoped to pull it and instantly resell it.
Not like they’d already made tons of money or anything.
ETA: they should have to give it back.

It’s not like me to say sorry.
These were both good but this one is better!
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah. No. No
New reason to hate nickelback just dropped
What the fuck is going on here? Fucking bullshit. These fucking pieces of shit need to rot in jail. Especially Chris Brown for beating up Rihanna smh.
Looks like a lot of people in this comments want their nickels back.
Free money for the rich and the poor get nothing. Sounds about right.
Hey hey how you got those handful of stimulus payouts which were totally responsible for all the problems we now face. People still haven’t gone back to work after they got all that money for free
/s
This is fucking gross.
Well, it wasn’t to make good music
And this is how you remind me.
I hate you so much for getting Nickleback songs stuck in my head.
Are we having fun yet?
No, we’re not.
It’s too bad
