It seems like they need her at their event for credibility, but she doesn't really need them. They fucked up by not recognizing this, and now they are going to lose her drawing power at future events. And all they had to do was protect a girl from known weirdos. Nice job, dickheads.

If the MAGA part of the world dies, I won't weep for their loss
Except that it has attracted major artists, with major fortunes, such as Rod Stewart.
I'm aware. I keep seeing stories about how cheap land and housing is in the rural areas. Great houses just sitting empty. It's starting to attract Americans.
Those rich people are demanding Trump to take away the health care from millions, so they can get a tax cut they don't need, and won't even notice. That kid would have been doing the same thing in 20 years, so I don't feel bad for him or any of the rest of them. They paid a lot of money for an adventure that would give them bragging rights, and got a bigger adventure than they bargained for.
I live in Orlando, so I feel the pain of over tourism, even though I love our visitors (I really do, a good part of business is derived from tourists). At least visitors to Florida know that there is cool stuff all over the state, so even if they spend most of their vacation in Orlando, they still go out to the coasts, or to Miami, etc.
Japan has done a great job of attracting people to their country, now they just have to do a better job of getting them to spread out.
Right, why can't they be more like MAGAs, who would never weaponize the government to persecute their political enemies? Right, Leticia James or James Comey? (Not Bolton, he deserves it. Not for the reasons Trump is giving, but he's still such a terrible scumbag, even Republicans hate him).
I know from first hand experience that weed doesn't make people support Trump.
These Psychopathic Tech Oligarchs know that it is only a matter of time before the AI Slaughterbots turn on us, and they're hoping that their obsequience will save them.
It won't. Hopefully the Slaughterbots will kill them first.
A lottery among pre-selected candidates. Just about anything can be considered to be art, so it is inevitable that there would be far more demand than fulfillment. After all, if they gave $1500 per month to anyone who claimed to be an artist, literally every single citizen would suddenly become committed to their "art."
I'm already a musician, but if I weren't, I'd become an artist today.
Ireland has a history of supporting artists, mostly with large tax breaks for ARTISTS. While journalists and scholars use writing extensively in their careers, they are not "artists" in the way that people tend to think of that concept. They are not creating art, they are creating knowledge. That's an honorable endeavor, but it is not strictly art.
This is great news, my Beanie Baby collection is about to bounce back.
