To: a fool in paradise

How many times do artists need to be paid for the same piece of work?

A truck driver drives his truck from A to B and is paid. He doesn’t get paid many times, he just gets paid once.

A brick layer gets paid to build a wall. Once.

A baker is paid once for a loaf of bread. Only once.

A McDonalds worker gets paid once for each hour she works. Only once.

So why should artists get paid over and over and over and over and over again forever and ever for the work they produce? This makes no sense.

Stop making sense! You are going to tick off all the Democrats!
