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.
Poor people’s loans obviously wint be forgiven or forgotten
Why would the oligarchy allow proles to have any taste of financial freedom? The point of their existence is indentured servitude…
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.
What, you spent your whole $1200 relief check already?
But dare to forgive student loans or even mortgages? SOCIALISMS!
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 :^)

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.
Yeah… I bailed on him when just how awful he was came out. Granted, I bought some Chuck Berry stuff recently and he was no saint from the looks of it… People are complicated
People are complicated, yeah, but there’s nothing complicated about deciding to not support people who have been beating and sexually assaulting women for decades. There are so many good, independent artists out there, I have no idea how you people settle for these algorithm-endorsed scumbags at the top
Not like they’d already made tons of money or anything.
ETA: they should have to give it back.
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.
It’s not like me to say sorry.
These were both good but this one is better!
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah. No. No
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.
This is fucking gross.
Is that Chris Brown pasta not a thing around here?
Be the pasta you wish to see on the world?
I mean I might.
But while I enjoy to consume some nostalgic pasta from time to time I never saw myself on the producing side.
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
Well, it wasn’t to make good music
cool that’s not art
Was it cocaine and hookers?
Thank you! Everyone acting like hundreds of hookers’ and pushers’ livelihoods don’t depend on these guys. It’s just tricke-down economics at work!
