He took a 2 million loan, donated 2 million to George Floyd's daughter and is building affordable housing in communities.

We can look at a lot of facts at the same time

i'm just being dumb cus talkin bout this s*** is boring but he deffo doesn't need 2-5m if only to keep his skilled employees paid while they're not working

if he pays some back after their wages are paid for their idle periods tho that would be fair & there wouldn't be a need for controversy here

This isnt about kanye in particular but really just how big businesses abused the loan program

This been a story in leftist media circles for a minute

He’s eligible to take a government loan, why would he not take it

If I were to assume all 160 workers made $50,000 a year (in some states that's poverty, some its decent), that equates to $8,000,000 in salary per year to payout. 2 million seems quite small

exactly

That's literally excluding benefits (assuming they might get insurance, etc)

Kinda funny how same people who celebrate him being a billionaire are now acting like you can’t critique him when he does capitalist things you’d expect from a billionaire tho

He’s definitely a conservative. Socially and fiscally.

didn't big businesses close just like small ones?

and lay off employees?

wouldn't bigger businesses have laid off larger amounts of employees?

don't those businesses deserve a bit of support?

why not?

why are we acting like big businesses are exempt from support?

big businesses have more than enough revenue to survive a lockdown and keep their employees on payroll dude lol

It’s more so the fact that big businesses w their legal resources were able to use of the funds disproportionately and a lotta the s*** was basically just a hand out to big ass industries and companies that had no reason taking tht money

Case in point...yeezy. You really think this s*** wouldve hurt yeezy in the long run? As opposed to the average mom and pop

The bigger issue is how the administration decided to distribute the funds and to which companies (lack of transparency and oversight) rather than the companies that applied

cigaM

what companies that applied for support loans didn't get it?

there's no evidence that Yeezy received support instead of any small businesses that needed it, right?

just complaints from civilians that a famous rich person needed money

• So u have actual business owners tell you there's nothing wrong with this, and its something he should do

• the news that he saved 160 jobs

• the fact that there's still a lot of money left, so it's not like he took money out a small business

• yeezy is a small business

And ya still tryna turn it to something it isnt
