    There are lots of good Americans, unfortunately though there are even more stupid/evil ones.

      Also/or the stupid evil ones are -at the moment- far more motivated to fuck things up than the decent ones are to try to fix things.

        It’s definitely an uphill battle to be a good American today.

      Accurate, but Neil Young is Canadian.

    He gave access to his catalog for free. He did not give copyright.

          It’s the difference between a nice gesture and giving away his life’s work to take a stand. It’s still a nice gesture, but I doubt he will financially notice the lost streaming royalties from his fanbase on Greenland. Boycotting Amazon is probably the bigger thing here.

          Will it automatically show up in their Apple Music collection like that one U2 album?

      So basically people in Greenland can just listen to it for free if I’m understanding correctly?

      That’s basically nothing, just a PR move

        Are we meant to lament shopping malls? Didn’t they kill small stores.

          Before Amazon were malls, before that, the big stores came along like shopko, Walmart, etc. which still persist. But of you go back far enough you get “Department” stores, mainly in the big cities 100 years ago.

          As an aside, the stock market has also always been fucked. All the way back to the beginning like Jay Gould and the rail company corruption.

          The system has always been against us.

                I don’t know what either of them look like, but if I remember correctly, Jay Gruber is the CEO of Blue Sky.
