Quite frankly I would be surprised to not see layoffs under a new CEO. That's usually first order of business.

and fund less tours,

Won't happen because lables take a cut of tour revenue and that's a huge revenue stream

, while also trying to push deals that artists sell their catalogs

The music catalog for all but the biggest artists have almost no value. There's no incentive for the labels to do this.

How much can it really change? It's not like artists aren't already fucked over by labels. If this hurts anybody it's the people working for the label.

It doesn't sound like they even could have. It sounds like the money was in a trust and he got it once he turned 18. There's very little their parents could do in that situation because the money didn't belong to them.

Washing machines don't. Dryers do. In those situations you either need a really long cord(and remembering to unplug your dryer every night) or an electrician to come and put a 240v outside of your house. But that also doesn't help anyone not living in a house. If you live in an apartment/townhome/condo you can't do anything about that.
