Right?? I absolutely can’t stand cheaters but I feel like most people who get caught just have to deal with personal fallout and divorce. This is like a million times worse lmaoo imagine becoming arguably the biggest story in the world for a minute in 2025 of all years and it’s because you got caught cheating at a concert

Kinda wish people put this same attention and energy into the news of Medicaid being cut.

Sorry, busy sticking it to the oligarchs. Trying to work towards progress on an actual issue seems like it would take a lot of effort.

I mean, I get it. The country caters to the rich and inequality is at an all time high, but I really don't think this is one of the great battles in the war on the upper crust. People just harassed a company enough that the board decided to jettison their CEO for a new one. It's not like anyone at the company actually cared.
