I would argue that all "recognized” art is overpriced due to basically being priced on social prestige. But that’s sort of innate to the social metagaming that surrounds anything the rich involve themselves with.

It's a way to launder money

100%, which was fine when it was about creating opera houses and other architectural masterpieces. But like everything the left does, it's all form and no function anymore.
It'd be a shitty way to launder money, done by people who do not need to launder their money. Nah, I'm pretty sure it's tax writeoffs:
Here's how it works: Buy a few pieces from a smalltime artist. Doesn't matter if they are great, just need to be cheap. Then feature them, driving up prices. Have a friend buy one at auction for an absurd amount. Then donate the pieces to a museum, after having an appraiser give a crazy high appraisal based on the recent auction. Put that 'charitable giving' on your taxes.
Overall, a complicated way to starve the US war machine. I approve. Not paying taxes is a moral good.

The other chick is doing her best not to laugh up her own lungs; the Feminist is having a Brain.exe not found moment.
Its a movement that is by its nature inherently self destructive, but it will do a whole lot of damage before it hits that point.
Well, women are now complaining that men are avoiding them like they're leapers. This means businesses are discriminating with hiring practices (they'd rather eat the lesser costs of discrimination costs/issues than the larger harassment suits, so women's CV's/resumes are basically automatically discounted before they're even read over), not mentoring women so no upskilling or career advancements, not being social with women (literally the moment a woman walks into the room, conversation dies and men go back to doing their own things) -- Hell, a lot of men won't even ride elevators or open doors for/with women!
No shit, ladies! When you can destroy a man's life and career with a word, it's no wonder you're all being viewed like you're all Chinese-made grenades! You can thank feminism and toxic femininity for this. It's inherently destructive.
Women wanted to be "left alone", post-MeToo -- now they're getting it, it's a case of "this isn't what we wanted!".
Oh this is just the begining, we haven't begun to see the socitial level blowback that I think is in the wings.
MGTOW is part of it, and it's grown in just a few years from a fringe philosophy to a mainstream way of life -- be independent, strong, work on yourself (skills, finances, et cetera), and don't let a woman be a parasite/drain.
The fact that we have a secureral make celibaticy. Movement that's becoming mainstream should be a klaxon screaming that something is fundamentaly wrong with the system
Could've happened to any guy.
Also apparently it was a Woman TSA Agent. You would think a fellow Woman would have more sympathy for another Woman... getting struck in the... uhh... testicles...
But seriously, this story is nuts.
Oh believe me, I will make sure this story is noted and shared extensively.

Okay I'm done.

...I feel bad for laughing because holy shit being hit in the nuts hurts, but... I'm laughing.
Fun fact! As a young teen circa 2002, I got kneed in the balls full pelt by a cuntish classmate of mine -- I can unashamedly say I was in a fetal position, crying and struggling for breath.
On the upside, all the girls in the class surrounded me and were being all sympathetic, so that was a win for young, dumb, teen me, I guess.
I was basically dragged out of school and had an emergency appointment at my GP to see if I were "okay" down there (thankfully, I was, bruising and crippling pain aside).

Thanks to a last minute decision by the Caretaker Government without consulting the Cabinet or Parliament, the very small country of Lebanon now has two time zones.
The last minute decision resulting in uneven implementation of Daylight Savings Time across the country interfering with business, schools, cell phone timekeeping, appointments, scheduling and airplane flights.
Already there are references to "Muslim Time" and "Christian Time" though many Muslims are dismayed at the choice to end Ramadan fast early because it's supposed to be added on sun rise and sundown, not timekeeping.
The entirely self made issue will hopefully resolve itself in a month.

Lebanon couldn't agree on the start of daylight saving time. The country now has two time zones.
Lebanon, a country that spans 55 miles at its widest point, has two time zones after the government pushed the start of daylight saving to April 21.

My thoughts "About damn time." and "This will be contested in court."
The Utah gov't expects to get sued over it. Hopefully the law is sufficiently well written to avoid getting tossed by a judge.
Kids in Utah will need parents’ OK to access social media
SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Children and teens in Utah would lose access to social media apps such as TikTok if they don’t have parental consent and face other restrictions under a first-in-the-nation law designed to shield young people from the addictive platforms.

Let me guess, that guy would be Trump?
I guarantee you that if someone wrote up "good idea! Let's put it all on Soros, Bill Gates, Biden, or Clinton", it'd be like throwing a match into an open oil drum, lol.
