I haven’t done any deeper digging than this. Shout if you find something that contradicts this, pls?

Also, real talk: Bjork hating on a thing kinda makes me more inclined to dump it myself 🤣

Edit: I fucking love this parenthetical here. “Byurk who, just for your information, is a musician who makes music and probably plays some instruments…”

I agree, source please.

And also $150K is peanuts.

I don't like Trump, but if any European Company finds it necessary to bribe Trump in order to make profits for their shareholders, then I am not morally opposed.

The American people democratically elected a corrupt official. These are the new rules.

Now Spotify signing Joe Rogan is a bigger slight, but even there, Joe was relatively OK when they signed him.

Edit: you guys are naive and, I would even say, anti-European.

Trump is selling American assets for pennies on the dollar. Saudi-Arabia, Russia and China have no qualms buying in.

For some European businesses, the American market is key to their survival. You can take a principled stance, while Saudi pays the bribe and forever takes over that market

These are the new rules.

Maximizing shareholder profits at any cost is not new.

What it is, is the thing you should be morally opposed to, instead of justifying it because "hey, that's how it is"

“Edit”: you guys are anti-European -> Proceeds to spout shockingly anti-European economic talking points. Go team SAUD!
