“I won’t pay the bill for this stupid company,” he said. “I won’t pay the bill, and then we’ll have a story that Trump didn’t pay the bill to a contractor.”

If you don’t want a reputation for screwing over contractors then you should pay your damn contractors. But we all know Trump would’ve just made up a reason to stiff them even if everything went smoothly.

But I do find it amusing that he’s this close to figuring out why his mic didn’t work in the first place. Good contractors have options and won’t work for a known dead beat. So all he can get are incompetent fools.

The whole reason he does outdoor rallies is because he stiffed all the indoor facilities in his last election run.

He never pays ANY of his bills. How many cities have ended up getting stuck with unpaid bills for his stupid fucking circlejerk events?

This is a common tactic the rich use all the time. They even hire people to contest valid charges because it often works. They are literally why we can't have nice things. "So much winning" but they have to cheat and lie about everything.

It's disproportionately the rich who refund uber eats meals that were perfectly fine and shit like that.

If there's no show at all, or it's completely ruined, then you have them cancel the bill. You don't just refuse to pay and stop picking up the phone. That's childish and we know he doesn't pay bills even when he gets everything he asked for, just more gaslighting.

Plus when I hire someone for a price and they do a meh but ok job, i pay them and never hire them again. That's how the free market works, at least in theory. He doesn't see we can't just "not pay our bill" when my internet goes down for a few hours. Normal people get fucked by that, he doesn't know what normal is. Weird they don't even realize they're saying the quiet part out loud.

"free market" should be "fair market" but the free means corporations are free to move labor to another country but not let the actual labor freely move.

[-] Nougat@fedia.io 14 points 1 week ago

No, no - "free market" means I don't have to pay, because it's free.

20 minutes to find a second mic? Or move the connection to a different input.

Sounds about right for the people Trump hires.

[-] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 58 points 1 week ago

The sound tech probably didn’t have it on.

Sometimes you wind up working gigs you wouldn’t want to. Easy to make mistakes.

[-] wildflower@lemmy.world 64 points 1 week ago

Reminds me of a gig I had in a studio where the lead singer was a real jerk to everyone in the studio and to his band-mates, he kept berating everyone in the band, telling them to play better, and when it was his turn to record vocals, I pitch shifted his monitor a half note :-) Watching him squirm in the vocal-booth trying to hit a note was priceless.

I mean seeing how he has probably pissed off just about every theater kid living by now it's just deserts. Nobody is racing down from the booth with a lav for this guy.
