The sorry state of streaming residuals shows why SAG and the WGA are striking.

    Government funded art has a tendency of being loyal to their patrons, i.e. the government, which stifles the very essence of the art itself. All content is not for every body, due to taste, and interest. You’re also talking about doing away with advertising, hahahahahahahaha.

      You need to watch the film Cradle Will Rock if that’s what you think.

      You should watch it anyway because it’s a great movie, but it’s also based on a true story about people getting government funding and using it to put on a socialist musical, which made the government freak out and shut the show down. That is what would stifle art- not artists being loyal, artists not being allowed to dissent.

        Such a great movie. So many things to think about after watching.

        Sadly whenever I tried to get people to see it, they took the government side. Spending my High School years in Utah was horribly stifling.
