      In all sincerity, please, the doomerism is unproductive. Especially in direct response to someone trying to help fund a public institution that’s losing funding. If you’re feeling despair from the horrors (which, understandable) it’s important to do what you can to get support from your friends and community. Trying to convince other people to not resist by saying it’s worthless is the worst thing to do right now.

      Way to contribute productive discourse to the comment actually doing something and proving they put their money where their mouth is.
