Oh no! All the losers with the lesbian theater degrees can’t find jobs since they settled on an “education” that had no applicability in the real world!

Fear not though, because here comes Congress to the rescue, with details from an NBC News report today:
Democrats fret it could be curtains for local theaters without federal funds

Professional nonprofit theaters haven’t recovered from the pandemic, with dozens of stages set to shutter around the country without urgent infusions of cash. Now, a group of Democrats in Congress says ‘the show must go on’ and is introducing legislation that could keep the curtains from closing.

For some, those lockdowns hurt a lot.
I’m not saying they need government assistance other than to stop meddling in who stayed open. It hurt some people pretty badly.
I smell another looting of the purse coming.
Are they going to do the same to save Movie Theaters and your Local newspapers?
Actually the Government did some of this during the Depression for people to have jobs in the theater.

They are really having to pull out all stops, to find more
groups to toss money at.
When I become king, on the first day the people charged with coming up with these insufferable cutesy names for statutes will be identified. On the second day theyll be shot
