      yeah like this is the real gist of the problem isn't it? it's that everyone really wants to be able to do what they want, and a lot of folks go "well why are artists special?"

      In point of fact the NEA is mostly not very controversial at all and most of the money gets allocated to stuff like Shakespeare in the Park for kids, precisely to avoid this kind of thing

      Unfortunately then they get yelled at by serious people in the art community that "There's already SO MUCH generic Shakespeare in the Park shit that gets funded through the private sector and why is your job just to give MORE money to the people who ALREADY get money"

      So then you get a Piss Christ kind of thing once in a while where they try to prove that they are real, credible artists plugged into the art community doing stuff famous educated critics think is valuable and cool Which, inevitably, provokes exactly this backlash

      I mean piss christ provoked a backlash because we live in a society that suffers the existence of Christianity, which, like the military and NASA, should also go away

      fwiw, I used to be more irritated by space spending before when I thought of federal budgeting more like budgeting...but the truth is the US has tons of resources and could easily fund the space program and cure hunger in the US without too much trouble.

      Yeah I think the idea that there's a Civilization-style "player" would could just click some sliders and "allocate things differently" is a massive fallacy A lot of people unconsciously make this assumption and it does not survive even a brief brush with how the government works

      Which is why even when you get a President who explicitly comes in promising to slash and burn all the "waste" to focus on what "really matters" -- and such Presidents are uniformly turds who want to buy more jets and bombs -- they do some damage but they fail at their task

      This seems more to do with the processes that determine who gets selected President than the power intrinsic to the office

      Trump positioned himself as this Ultimate Outsider, remember, who *could* do whatever the fuck he wanted because he owed nothing to any members of the political Establishment

          And he did do a lot of damage, but he didn't in fact keep most of his campaign promises, even the purely destructive ones Because while he may have *meant* to do all these things, he was also a temperamental ignoramus who didn't know how anything actually worked

          And these traits were, in fact, all correlated and have a decent chance of being similarly correlated in anyone else who comes into power while fitting his broad archetype of leadership

          Okay but he didn’t actually care that much

          it's sort of circular though because the same things that meant he didn't care were the things that led him to promise to do all this stuff that's not really possible.
