Money for education has been sucked up.
When all government grants for the arts and money for education has been sucked up by the military dictatorship of the United States, what job environments will people have to work in?
After my several beatings on military bases in 2004 and 2005, I find posting cartoons, and ranting about how the color Army green disgusts me and makes me want to vomit extremely soothing. If I needed money and negative affirmations to drive me on, I would not have graduated University for free.
Neil Gaiman, Nick Cave, and many other of my top loved artists were at SXSW this year (I live in Austin where it is at.). I had to miss it all due to extreme back pain due to on-base beatings. Not Amused.

Society is trying to kill its artists.
"Then you try to join the military. After budget cuts, there is ONLY money there, and none in any other form of government grants for the arts. There is no money left in teaching to feed the military. After they beat the crap out of you and torture you, that too will be an unholy nightmare. They will injure your back and leave you to die. I am sickened by the color Army green whenever I see it. I have nightmares daily, no help getting art done there. If I needed negative affirmations to get work done, I would not have graduated University with so many good grades.
The kids of ultra rich can just have their parents buy a corporate art production company. Also, they can have parents buy millions of dollars of supplies and make a corporate art company. They can pretend they were poor and mysteriously “discovered” due to talent, and still have an art career. This perpetuates the myth and propaganda that people are “discovered” all the time. Their rich mommies and daddies “discovered” they were sick of them sitting around the house is what got “discovered” very likely. Most all people with average incomes will NOT get this reality. If you work a day job to fund your art, it will not be enough cash to really buy pro level supplies. Then you will be so tired at the end of your busy day you will have barely any time for art on the weekend. Bitter at a world that promised them fame and fortune their ENTIRE childhood they get kicked to the curb. With only intoxication to soften the blows of the violent destruction cycle, death is often the result. I was just looking at my email list and how many dead people my own age I had to take off of it this year. Not a pretty picture, not a pretty picture at all. Society IS trying to kill its artists."
