[Rambo Van Halen @RamboVanHalen]

Since I became active on twitter a few years ago, a number of moneyed Right Wing types have reached out and asked me to create content.

I'd give them the current market rates for my labor + typical costs for producing quality content, and they would always answer with variations of "WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU SO EXPENSIVE??"

Thinking they were ignorant of these matters, I'd patiently explain that it takes highly skilled and talented people to produce high-quality content. And since talent is rare and since we live in a free market, our labor is a scarce commodity and therefore comes at a premium. In other words, we are in demand.

Sometimes I'd add that we don't set the rates, the rates are set by the market, and this is the rate we can make working for other people (because again, free markets and such). So taking projects at a reduced rate inflicts an opportunity cost.

Furthermore, I'd mention that the pool of people who are not only talented but also ideologically sympathetic (or at least neutral) to your weird political project is VERY small. I believe there are only a few dozen (key word) talented RW sympathetic filmmakers worldwide--most of whom won't take the gig for fear of being blacklisted--so this only serves to increase price pressure on an already scarce market.

But much like Liberal commentators pretending not to understand "per capita", these people (many of whom are fans of Ayn Rand) would pretend not to understand our free labor market and balk at the cost.

So wanting to "help the cause" I started quoting my personal labor fees at 50% of the going rate.

And in response I would hear...

"WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU SO EXPENSIVE??"

So I've pretty much given up on helping. And I've decided that the moneyed Conservatives and Right Wingers are not serious people.

It's funny how everyone is a free market capitalist until it's time to write a check.

And it's fucking hilarious how everyone believes that the inherent inequality of humanity is objective truth until it's time to pony up.

So if you're wondering why there's a dearth of RIGhT wINg aRt, it's because the people who control the pursestrings are fucking cheapskates.

As misguided as Liberal Hollywood is, at least they understand that talent is rare.

And The Libs intuitively know that they need to pay people what they're worth if they want to create a quality product👍

@KyserHenderson @Helheim_Lynx autistic people who are the
(age of consent), aren't children! MAN. what are you talking about???; just to inform you. autism is a social learning based disorder. it's not the same as something like fetal alcohol syndrome, or down syndrome.
