Deeply ironic that those who claim to support socialism are so okay with taking from the poor to give to the rich.
iirc from previous criticism I saw on this a majority of the trial recipients were retirement age adults, but all the same people much wealthier with the privilege to have time/money to spend doing art. Younger artists? Not established enough.
