    No! We could experience a 'great cultural depression'  without the artist people.

    No, those that deny them relief payments when COVID-19 closed the venues (not the fault of the artists) should be stood against a wall and shot.

    No one in the USA deserves to be unemployed and homeless.

    Republicans and CEOs think so.

    No.  But each choice has consequences.  If something is not paying the bills, you need to figure out a job that will pay the bill and continue the other as a side project or side gig.

    I guess. I would rather just live in a cardboard box.

    No one "deserves" to be homeless.

    On the other hand, no one "deserves" to be employed.

    If you choose a profession that there is no demand for, nobody is obligated to reward your bad choice by giving you money or shelter.
    It doesn't matter if you are an "artist" ... or try to start a law office, where there are already too many lawyers.
