Austerity killed people.
Austerity mindset has been inculcated into us for generations.
It deeply disturbs me how many otherwise liberal and leftist people are willing to just accept a future where only the children of the wealthy can pursue the arts.

If you want more Patrick Stewarts, then you publicly fund the arts and learning programs, so that working class kids can find their way into making a career in them.

This is called preparing the ground, also known as tenderising the meat (that’s us):

‘Experts’ claim something that never went away is inevitable, so it must be, right?

Kemi Badenoch, "We need to start talking about living within our means, not austerity. We are overspending and we're borrowing from our children"
Sounds like common sense, but if it means cutting public services and support, it’s austerity, whatever Kemi Badenoch chooses to call it.

👏 You can't cut your way to prosperity, because people pushed into poverty aren't productive.
