Maybe to defend Dave, he thought that he was just doing a concert for amazon workers in general?
I'm sure they didn't explicitly state that "this private concert is for execs only"
Dave will have a manager that knows this stuff. Do you think Dave does all the administration that is required to set up a concert? The guy probably has a team of people. There is no way that they didn't know. Amazon has a public reputation.
And you think his manager gives two shits about who he performs for? Money comes in, the manager books the gig.
You can't blame Dave then, if as you said his manager set it up, which was my original point
If his manager set up a performance for neo-Nazis, you don't think Dave still has a say?
Dave: "Oh no, my manager set up that performance for the group of sex offenders. You can't blame me, I just play in the band."
Please.
Stupid counter argument
Is it stamped on their heads that they are neo Nazis or sex offenders? Lmao, come on.
You're right, sometimes it's hard to tell, especially when you can't see their foreheads. How else are we supposed to know?
How was Dave and his managers supposed to know that Amazon is a terrible company?

No pass granted. Amazon is currently hiring their anti-union lawyers as direct warehouse managers to fight the unionization efforts at KCVG Airhub. There is no excuse in 2024 to take a gig from this company and not understand who you are getting in bed with.
Support KCVGs union effort! They are the companies largest airhub and function as a critical choke point in their supply lines. A union win would be a huge success for unionization across all warehouses at Amazon.
You think Dave keeps up with all of this?
Pathetic
That's not an excuse.
I don't care if he does or does not, the point is Amazon's ruthless exploitation of the working class is not an unknown fact.
Ignorance is not an excuse.
Lmao
"Hey you can't park here"
"There's no signs saying that?"
"I don't care if you know or not, don't be ignorant"
Idk what point you're trying to make. Are you saying we need to make signs for how Amazon abuses it's employees?
Do you think every person on the planet knows this information?
Yes dude, piss bottles in the warehouse are a meme at this point. Working conditions in the warehouses have been making headlines since people died due to overheating way back in 2013.
😂 Keep believing that everyone knows that. You have to open your mind as to exactly how much information is out there and who reads what.
Were you yourself ignorant to this?
That's irrelevant to my argument
Ok bud.
🙄
