Spotify has laid off thousands in recent years, while reportedly paying artists $0.003 per stream.
Spotify profits rose 28% in Q3. Its CEO is worth $9.8 billion. It's making money off ICE recruitment ads.
Don't you think it's time put a wrap on corporate greed and exploitation?

MTG doesn’t surprise me and I know there will be more. It’s the economy. It’s high prices and stagnant wages. It’s so many unhappy with an oligarchy. It’s folks looking up rather than side to side.

Remember: The oligarchs who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us so they can become more powerful.
They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see where all the wealth and power have gone.
Don't fall for it.

Trump hush money for insurance is a distraction, a red herring. Health insurance in this country regularly commits passive murder. This $2k puts citizens as the launder for Trump to pay them to do it.
