Criptic Critic Conscience and Known for it

"Should I be on wealthy peoples welfare, through the buying of my work? How do I make work as a an artist if I want poor people to buy my work? (Laughs) Extreme divisions right there, so how do I perpetuate myself if I want to make Democratic art? What is Democratic Art? These are the kinds of issues that I feel my work is trying to articulate and present a picture of. If we look at inflation going up right now because (among other things) low numbers of unemployed people, should we be actually celebrating 6% unemployment as a way of saving us money? New Zealand uses a permanent base of 6% unemployment to keep inflation down, by forcing low wages, by having this massive pool of unemployed people. That's a hard thing to hear, but we can see the evidence that once that pool gets smaller, then inflation goes up. So that's a different idea about looking at welfare, instead of being a punishment it's actually something that might be necessary, and needed to be approached from a different angle." - Madness, Economics and Art, Tao Wells.

 

"We could end this war today, through diplomacy but our politicians want to enrich weapon manufacturers so they keep donating to them to the tune of a hundred billion dollars. Chris Hedges has called America a mafia state. Systems of governance that are seized by a tiny cabal become Mafia States. The military industrial complex and Ukraine represent an orgy of looting and corruption. America is the most powerful mafia that was ever existed and the hitmen in that mafia have military pilot licenses. " - Jimmy Dore
