Wait. She paid them HOW much in bonuses? Incredible. https://bit.ly/3qj0cAz

No 'Bad Blood' there.

@georgetakei kudos to TSwift. Awesome gesture on how much she appreciates the team around her
@georgetakei. Taylor Swift, master of Gift, TFG master of grift.

@georgetakei

One of the largest questions in America today is, "How do we slice the pie?"

Hadn't thought much about Taylor Swift before, but she's just given us one of the largest object lessons I've seen in America in 2 decades.

You slice the pie so that less people are hungry, more people can enjoy their slice, and so that a 'family' you belong to is made more happy. She has given this example to us, the Family of America.

@georgetakei KUDOS! What a terrific move, I now see she also donated to food banks, this sounds so good ❀
@georgetakei As a note: thank you for so often posting interesting, inspiring things. I don't know if you personally post them or if you have minions doing this work, but in any case: thanks for the posts ❀

@pascaline @georgetakei

Haven’t there been several movies about George’s β€œMinions”?

@georgetakei I'm sure they more than deserved those bonuses.
@georgetakei The Merriam-Webster people should put a picture of Swift next to the definition of "class act."

@georgetakei

Is this the only existing example of "trickle-down" actually working?

@georgetakei now to fix the systemic imbalance in the streaming industry where artists like Taylor get outsize rewards at the expense of smaller artists.
@georgetakei It's Santa Clara. They needed that for their bar bill. And maybe a stop at Harborside San Jose.

@georgetakei I notice you used a link shortener. Maybe that's due to cross posting or something or for visual reasons.

But as an FYI to you and others, because I don't think it's common knowledge yet:
On Mastodon all links are counted as 23 characters, wether they are actually shorter or longer. So using link shorteners doesn't actually have an effect.

@georgetakei It’s a tax-deductible business expense
@georgetakei I want a friend please
@georgetakei boss move. β™₯️ for all these truck drivers, that's significant and life-changing.
@georgetakei Words cannot express how much I admire her.

@georgetakei

I don't care for her music, but it's hard not to like her for this.
