This actually pretty funny to watch in the comments over there where you have Arts Degree Bill discounting the value of an Art Degree in the post and some of the other Art people defending it.. it looks like a civil war of the Art Degree people...
“just make sure that the rest of you go to work to produce things that will allow me to eat, have a roof over my head, drive my car, sip coffee in street side cafes, buy artistic supplies, guitar strings, new amplifiers – never mind that people have to work to provide those goods and services.”
That’s what we Science degree people already do... we throw away half our food... the problems come in when Art Degree people are allowed to get involved in these material matters and F it all up...

Yet the unjust* rich can "just do their art" if they so please.
I see nothing in MMT that would change that ability but only increase it via more privileges for the banks.
*Not to say all wealth is unjust, e.g. Job in the Book of Job.
Art is what they have been trained to pursue via their Art degree programs... (and borrowed munnie against)...
So Bill is saying train them as Artists but then make them work in Science?
You do that and you’re going to blow yourself up...
