How much do I hate government subsidies for art? Perhaps surprisingly the answer is "not much". On the long list of stupid crap governments do, this is near the bottom. Compared to most of the business of government arts funding is relatively cheap and annoys few people - even shitty art installations in public places aren't all that annoying. Also, I do occasionally get my hands on a little of this money.

It does sometimes deliver something of value, though, such as when Beatboxer Schlomo says he "could easily save the world". I have no idea what this guy does, if he beatboxes or if that's just a name, but whatever... save the world? Easily?

Ha ha.
