And they told the farmers only authorised John Deere technitians could work on them. Only problem was thrre wasnt enough techs and farmers were on waiting lists for weeks.

Taylor Swift gives bonuses totaling over $55 million to every person working on a massive Eras tour.
I know I'm gonna get downvoted into oblivion but Taylor Swift is also apparently a billionaire now and I just don't believe there's a thing called "ethical billionare". To me this remains an oxymoron. I'm not saying she's a terrible person who's never done anything right (such as these bonuses), I'm just saying - nobody needs a billion dollars. Not a single person ever for themselves. And noone makes that in their lifetime without other people being exploited (even if indirectly) along the way. And yes - I absolutely see the same isses with all the Musks, Bezozes and all those weirdos.

That means that even after someone leaves a company, he’ll still get paid (not a full wage) as long as they want him away from the competition.
