    Yeah. The US government is one of the biggest and most byzantine entities on the planet. You’re going to be able to find some bullshit in there if you look. But that doesn’t all of a sudden mean this culture-war pettiness is the whole problem, and the tax breaks and giveaways for the rich and the Death Star defense budget all of a sudden aren’t relevant to the discussion.

      Honestly, if there’s a government program that can help a dude that busks in the subway buy a new saxophone or whatever, good. There should be. Art is important and so are artists.
