LOL. Try Van Gogh for starters. Lived off of handouts from his brother and never sold a painting in his entire life. Was only properly recognized after his death.

Preston Sturges was the most famous wrriter/director of his day in Hollywood. He wrote and directed “Sullivan’s Travels.” His point in the film, which you seem to have missed, is: "There's a lot to be said for making people laugh. Did you know that that's all some people have? It isn't much, but...

You misunderstand how "multiplier effect" is used in economics. It has nothing to do with what you describe. "The multiplier effect is an economic term, referring to the proportional amount of increase, or decrease, in final income that results from an injection, or withdrawal, of capital. In...

I'd be speaking to myself, after 50 or so years in the business. You're right. There's no hard psychological data that people have had their minds take off of unhappiness by watching a movie. But it does seem intuitive. But hard data that seeing "Barbie" makes you happy? Would be pretty...

One thing is obvious. Nobody on this list has ever worked in the entertainment industry. Pretty much every comment offered here is incorrect. FACT 1: arts programs have been shown, repeatedly, to have a multiplier effect. “Every $1 increase in the demand for arts and culture generates $1.69 in...

At the start Somalia isn’t dollarized. And Guam is an American possession so yes it does use dollars. But from those gaffs it’s pretty much downhill. Bottom line is Argentina does not have and has no excess to the amount of dollars required. EOS.

Missing it I’d say when at the start you think Somalia has dollarized (it hasn’t). And Guam? News update. It’s an American possession, so yes it uses dollars.

Buenos Aires is a large and very metropolitan city. If you present and behave as “an average white lady” you will be treated as such and will not be bothered in any respect. It’s a fine city for people watching. You will enjoy going down by the river, to the weekend artesenal fair in Recolita...

Absolutely correct. Arts dollars/pesos are smart policy. Unfortunately this recognition requires smart politicians and skillful administrators. Regretfully, that is something that this country has, arguably, been short on for a considerable number of years.

Milei’s new policies may work against inflation. The problem is that it will take time. And the question is how much pain and ‘hard times’ will people put up with in the interim? I would think that rises in utility rates as a result of reduced subsidies would be one of those major test points.

For information purposes only and not a comment. Some members maybe not be aware that there has been and perhaps still is a profound anti-semitism in Argentina. Peron’s government assisted with the so-called “Ratline” that helped major Nazi figures escape Europe after the war. Mengele and...

Let’s put it this way. Better the menorah, a little patronizing perhaps, than a brickbat.

And you know something, as a Jew, I'm really delighted that in the current public discourse in CABA Jewishness is ignored. Which is only to say that it would be best to approach the issue on the grounds of one's attitudes towards the two contenting states and leave the coincidental religion...

I'm not even sure there's a word in Castellano for what people from capsicum-infused food cultures think of as "hot" pepper. An excellent stop-gap is up in the Chinese markets: Lao Gan Ma brand Spicy Chilli Crisp from mainland China. The best of its type in the world.

?Zelensky is a well-known Jewish comic, ironically both in Russia (he speaks Russian) and Ukrainian.

FYI: he didn't convert. He couldn't have. It's a lengthy process. I'll spare you the details. Jokes about chainsaws are boring in regular times, and at this time are unpleasant and unappreciated. This is really so much BS. He is not going to convert.
