Musk, one post read, could end world hunger within five years by putting $40 billion towards the effort each year through 2030. He could also provide safe, clean water universally for just $140 billion per year for seven years. He could also save more than 10,000 endangered species for the low price of $1-2 billion per year. And for just $53.2 billion, he could rebuild Gaza and other areas of the West Bank destroyed in the region. Needless to say, Musk likely won’t do any of these things — which is the root of Eilish’s follow-up post.
How did you manage to avoid “bad guy” when it was the top pop song for like, half a year?
I haven’t listened to radio regularly since 2009ish? I think I’ve heard bad guy maybe but had no idea who it was. Or motivation to find out. I listen to lots of music still. Just not radio.
Simple. I generally don’t listen to any pop songs from the last decade or so. But it’s possible I have heard Bad Guy and didn’t know (or care) who it was…
You don’t have to listen to pop music to encounter it if you use social media…
Apart from Lemmy and my Reddit account (which I only started using properly one year ago), I’m not on any social media. I don’t subscribe to or listen to Spotify; don’t even watch YouTube any longer. It’s a hard life for sure.
