Patrons of the arts allow creativity to flourish. Historically, the Medici family in Renaissance Italy sustained the work of Botticelli, Michelangelo, and Leonardo da Vinci - and the world is better for it.
Instead of buying yet another yacht, billionaires could be supporting the arts. Wouldn't that be better for all of us?
Your posts are a great example of why writers AND readers still matter. I hope you have a wonderful holiday and a peaceful new year. (And if you’ve yet to get to the DeKalb Farmers Market, do go!!! Although doing it before Christmas is great, even with the crowds. )
Thanks Charles. I’m a relatively new subscriber here, but I feel I’ve known you for a long time through “Susan Speaks”. I met Susan on Jeff Tiedrich’s Substack. We’ve become friends, and have gone to lunch several times. I travel vicariously through her, but I also became acquainted with you. It’s a win/win in my opinion because I need all the friends I can get. I hope you had a great holiday, I did.

It would definitely be better for me if I were one of the ones they supported. :-)
And yes, agreed on all points.

Thank you! Much appreciated. :-)
I still haven’t made my way to DeKalb Farmers Market! I have been meaning to. Happy New Year to you.
