Neil Young calls out Tidal

@mahgister true some up there maybe most are driven by power and money and all those things that many crave. But in USA they also have to get elected to attain that power. That is part of teh checks and balances. As long as those are in place, it will all work out in the end. Otherwise, if say a despot gains total control, then we are in trouble. It happens. We’ve all seen it attempt to play out in public view here in recent years. Don’t let it! Don’t let fear be the motivating force. They call it the Dark side for a reason. Cheers!

Excuse me but your argument is ridiculous here for many reasons...

Electing someone who work hard to be elected is not a proof that you are in a democracy...

There is no check or balance more powerful than corporate lobbies in US... NONE...Corporate lobby decide they own the information too and control it like in this Vaccines hysteria...

And Fauci is a despot and he never have total control save in medical research science for 40 years...this is PROVEN fact...

Things are not like your Disney World vision of the US... Sorry...

@kitechaser 

So, does that mean non-communists killed all the others?

No one claimed a monopoly on human suffering...you are the one introducing it into a conversation where an artist of marginal importance took a stand against what he believed to be a wrong and another "artist" of marginal importance took it in stride and apologized. The marginally important streaming service then doused the fire with water it shouldn’t be a "thing" anymore.

Why are you so angry and quick to snark? About the "thing" itself or your right to hijack a very dark period for a particular purpose.

I didn’t say it was perfect!   Far from it.  Money rules always. But there is power in numbers and checks and balances. If one is not happy where they live, there are many other options. At least in the USA. Nobody has to live in NYC the most densely populated place in the country. THere is always Hooterville and everyplace in between. Some places way more popular than others though the pendulum is always swinging.
