CARES Act/Provider Relief Fund fraud
Would you be interested in doing some investigative journalism into the over reporting of hospitalizations due to “probable” COVID cases in order to receive additional funding from the billions of dollars in aid set aside by the CARES Act and the Provider Relief Fund?
What are the larger societal ramifications of having lost so many people to Covid?
At the height of covid, we all had an eye on the death count. Nowadays, with vaccines available, there's very little chatter around numbers of hospitalizations and deaths, but the numbers still don't look very good when I do see them. And we've lost a lot of people. A LOT. What I haven't seen discussed anywhere at all is, what impact will these losses have on larger society, both in the US, and throughout the world? I mean, in terms of population reduction. Are there enough people to do all the jobs that need to be done, etc., especially considering how much of the population devastation has occurred in the lower classes? Apart from The Great Resignation, is another reason so many people aren't going back to work that a lot of the people no longer working are just dead? What does this mean for mental health in our country, especially within families who have suffered losses? And all the other questions ...
Major Artist Labels (A&R / Interscope) Covertly Copying Music (KILEZA vs MAROON 5 Lawsuit)
Long time viewer since Andrew Yang & Tulsi interviews in the early days of Rising. I've been a premium member since before the premiere of the first episode (not quick enough to get the behind-the-scenes tour though haha). I just came across this artist while jumping down the Friday night YouTube rabbit hole with a story that needs way more attention. It seems that a major record label has a small artist's music and they're currently in a legal battle. She's asking followers to tag news agencies. Very breifly, after expressing interest in her and through long email chains back and forth she met with them for a session to play the song. She has all the receipts that look totally accurate. They hardly even altered the title or lyrics. I know the staff at Breaking Points is not big enough to do investigative reporting but I challenge Saagar to watch her 6min video on 2x speed (lol) to see what he thinks. They are currently in a legal battle with the record label for Maroon 5 for the song "What Lovers Do" - She asked anyone who see's the video to tag news agencies so I was hoping you might see this question and help out by at least getting her some traction, otherwise she won't have a chance against A&R / Interscope.

It really seems and feels as though america will forever be an oligarchic corporatist hellhole and there's really no way out for the working class - indentured servitude appears to be the only option. One simply can't buy a house or go to school unless one signs up to have a bank be your life-long loan shark. There was so much hope with 2020 - the floyd protest movement and covid were two HUGE opportunities for the working class to gain some power back and we've gained nothing. What we have gained, the corporatists have decided to take back in the form of, "inflation" and EXTREME price gouging for all kinds of every-day items which, as you have noted many times before, largely only hurts the working class. All that factored in, and still, at this moment, we're dealing with a crew of 400 or so corrupt politicans running our world at the behest of millionaires and billionaires and no matter who it is that runs this corrupt establishment known as the american governement, the only thing we can know FOR SURE is that whoever goes in will be completely and totally corrupt and AGAINST the actual population of the nation. We HAD our chance for things to get better here...sadly, the mainstream media state propaganda machine and the corrupt politicans, lobbyists, bankers, drug dealers (pharma), bomb makers, and hedge funders are those who won the day, as the cost of living skyrockets to higher than ever, effectively negating the last few years of meager gaining that myself or anyone else has been able to manage. These are dark days for anyone who is poor or paying attention and it doesn't seem like there's going to be any end to it..wages stopped keeping up with inflation SIX YEARS before I was born. I'm 33 now and this life, at this rate, will never be anything except suffering to barely survive as corrupt elites, who perpetuate ALL of this, steal every single dollar they can from each and every one of us as they KEEP us - forever enslaved for little more than their, "right" to exploit anyone, anything, and EVERY SINGLE ONE OF US so they can own four yachts, six mansions, and all the caviar and designer ice cream they can stuff in their gullets. Now, I'm back to work and nothing else for my/our ENTIRE EXISTENCE because entitled, trust fund baby boomer corporatists just NEED those sweet tax dollars to survive and fucking universe knows that those parasites are too soft to be able to do any real and actual work for themselves. *sigh
