It's money. If someone offered you money to say funny shit, would you take it? Anyone that has done a gig for the American government is just as complicit. You are really reaching to make these people look bad when everyone's favourite funny man got Trump elected and spins disinformation every day like it's cotton candy at the local fair.
Old news, nobody cares.
That money is a powerful incentive doesn't negate its corrupting influence.
Yeah, I'm not worried Bill Burr is suddenly going to go decapitate people now. Yes money is a corrupting influence, isn't it fun y how everyone wants more of it?! Maybe we should eliminate money, or the ability or need to accumulate mass amounts of it, eh?
