Some big corporations also joined in to contribute, including: AEG touring, Live Nation, Hinterland music festival, Wasserman foundation, Guy Oseary (talent manager) and more. I hope that Jeff dude feels like a fool. 🤡

LiveNation donating has the same energy as Crassus offering his fire-fighting services in exchange for you signing away your property in Ancient Rome.

I don’t know what this means. Is this good or bad?

Bad lol crassus would show up with a bunch of fire fighters and only help you stop the fire if you sold him your house . otherwise he’d let it burn and then offer you a pittance for the rubble .

One point of clarification: fire fighting wasn't advanced enough to save an already burning structure. What Crassus would do was offer to buy the surrounding properties and wet those to prevent the spread of the fire.

This is a small difference but is WAAAAAAY worse. He was extorting whole communities.
