    Carey likely pocketed about $1.55 million in 2021 from the master recording revenue, according to Billboard

    Thought this was interesting. It’s not nearly as much as I expected but if I made that passively I wouldn’t do anything ever again other than living life

    Real talk: retail workers constantly bitching about that song have ACTUALLY REDUCED my enthusiasm for improving their general plight.

    I thought they were chronically underpaid, underinsured, overworked, subjected to abuse…but nah, it turns out that the worst thing they have to put up with is some fucking Christmas song playing a few more times than they’d like to hear it.

    That’s y’all’s fucking Vietnam? Well, then, I guess capitalism doesn’t need to be fixed. False alarm. Go fuck yourselves.

    EDIT: I’m fucking joking. No, y’all, people bitching about Mariah didn’t actually convince me that trickle-down economics is actually a good idea. Jesus.
