It is unconscionable for the government to let SNAP benefits lapse when emergency funds are available to cover the program. Yes, suspending benefits could teach a lesson to those undeserving food voucher recipients, 40 percent of whom are children, who have been living large on an average of six dollars a day in assistance for far too long. But it wouldn’t be worth the cruelty of denying the program to those vulnerable Americans who genuinely deserve it: corporations.

For decades, the Left has correctly insisted that there is no ethical consumption under capitalism.

However, necessary though it may be, such criticism […]
For fifteen years or so, I’d been kicking around the idea of resurrecting the artist-apprentice model that reigned in the art world for hundreds of years.
Again and again, I’d heard from young people who lamented the astronomical and ever-rising cost of art school. For many college-level art programs, the total cost to undergraduates is now over $100,000 a year. I hope we can all agree that charging students $400,000 for a four-year degree in visual art is objectively absurd. And this prohibitive cost has priced tens of thousands of potential students out of even considering undertaking such an education.
For years, I mentioned this issue to friends in and out of the art world, and everyone, without exception, agreed that the system was broken. Even friends I know who teach at art schools agreed that the cost was out of control, and these spiraling costs were contributing to the implosion of many undergraduate and postgraduate art programs.
