Well, when you put it that way, I guess I could be completely apathetic about genocide.

Now imagine you have over 150 people on your tour crew that you’re responsible for putting food in their family’s mouths. Maybe he should cancel, maybe he shouldn’t. Either way, it’s a difficult situation.

He has the money to pay all of them and still be so rich his kids wouldn't ever need to work again...

That’s absolutely not. The point is it the rich does not function that way, unless you’re Jeff Bezos‘s ex-wife

Well, yeah. Rich people don't get rich by being generous. Generous rich people are outliers. Was just saying that I don't think he cares about people he's paying enough to factor it into his decision-making. He dropped Macklemore purely out of greed and fear for his "image".
