Ya… being paid to perform isn’t immoral. Honestly, I hope he took a ton of cash from Amazon for the show.

Amazon is the crowd doing evil crap. Their immorality doesn’t automatically spread to everyone they interact with. Especially, people that aren’t actually aiding their efforts. This one is corporate waste

FFs took a huge paycheck of blood money that they could've easily turned down. They're in it too.

Yes...I'm sure FF is intimately involved in Amazon internal politics. I'm sure they were made aware of every person fired to pay for their show before it was booked last year.

It's a gig. A highly paying gig. They don't fucking care who's in the audience.

Yeah plus it’s not like they’re a new band desperate for cash and a big break - without doing any maths, I’m pretty sure Dave & Co. could easily turn down evert corpo gig that comes their way from now until forever, and still be out there living the high life.
