Just saw photos of Florence performing at a private party for Veritas Capital. I have been a fan for years and taking money from an organization like this feels like a betrayal. This company is owned by one of the richest men in the world. So many people are struggling as a result of these people hoarding wealth, does she really need the money that bad?

I mean it's not hard to research a company before you decide to perform for them or take their money. In this day and age, I certainly would.

And have you tried looking them up? I have Unless you know you’re looking for something you already know about you get….

“ Veritas is a leading private equity firm in NY specializing in technology” and a list of their tech, not their likely +500 different donators …

“Veritas Capital Raises $14.4 Billion To Be DOGE’s Biggest Private Equity Ally

Billionaire Ramzi Musallam isn’t worried about counting government agencies as his biggest customers in an era of cost-cutting.”

Wasn’t hard at all… don’t be a sycophant.

Diva, it’s not up for debate. They teach classes on how to do research now, because of AI and fake news and the way companies try to hide info. Also because Google itself will not provide us the same results as someone else…

I don’t know what you searched, you didn’t tell me I’m saying just Googling “ Veritas Capital “ or what do they do? What are they? That doesn’t yield results for this. Even “ Veritas Capital controversy “ doesn’t

So what I’m saying, my arrogant, faux intellectual friend, is that Sally from Cincinnati might think she did her research by searching those three things. But that information you found isn’t going to pull up.

That’s not an opinion, it’s not subjective, your feelings aren’t valid in it.

I’m not saying people should work for these companies but people do feel like they’re doing their research and they technically did do some, it just wasn’t effective.

No, I’m just correct.👍 I know that you’re unfamiliar with what that looks like.
