So back when I was in the game we spent endless amounts of time looking at private ‘off balance sheet’ structures for government projects and the iron rule is they all involve taxpayer subsidies to the private sector.

It’s not that bad but definitely today is going to be mostly lying down.

Ah yes! But I got told I was very brave! Apparently it’s because of both the quantity of the liquid and that it’s very cold.

TLDR - if the intrinsic value of art is based on its uniqueness etc, commercialisation may not end well…
