When we did the Beneficiary's Office, I was made aware by brute force that my low status as a welfare receiver meant that when I made art as a welfare recipient, the ministry felt entitled to punish me for doing so while maintaining that they were simply carrying out what the public demanded. This sense of entitlement even had them overtly lying and breaking the law to hurt us. All I had to do is look across the fence to see the high status Art academic, also paid by the public to make art, but with no one asking them to be accountable to anything to wonder if it's time to blow the whistle on this racket/scam.
