I thought for just a second this was going to a cover of MeFi Music classic Jump Off The Roof, which is perhaps the opposite tone

i want to exit into the mountains of the pacific northwest to join a sexually and racially diverse militia of photogenic zillennials and wage guerilla warfare on industrial society and in particular the bay area. i think that would fix me mentally

> Morris, who is married to Eagle co-owner Hans Morris…

(this article was published in a paper called the Berkshire Eagle)

> All the while, scouring TikTok, Instagram and YouTube, Morris and her team sought out young people who might be a good fit. “Good fit” meant people struggling for footing in this world and in need of a song to sing.

> The crew and performers did all this work for almost nothing. The goodwill, in turn, radiated throughout the complicated, cross-country production.

The “John C And Katherine M Morris Foundation” seems to be worth at least about 3.5 million if I’m reading http://www.nonprofitfacts.com/MA/John-C-Katherine-M-Morris-Foundation-Inc.html#overview correctly. You’d think she could fan out a little something to the “struggling” content producers she found on social networks.

I am wondering just what kind of business this foundation got its money from. Hans Morris is described as a “venture capitalist” in an article about the Berkshire Eagle getting bought. https://theberkshireedge.com/33351-2/

Really this whole article kind of reads as “rich lady brags about how good she is at getting people to work for free” to me.
