I wrote about Kennedy Center productions more times than I can count (RIP DCist). The staff there is comprised of dedicated professionals. I've even performed there a half dozen times. This makes me very sad. www.washingtonpost.com/entertainmen...
Kennedy Center subscription sales fall 36 percent from previous year
Sales for ticket packages are down about $1.6 million year over year, a window into the arts center’s challenges following President Donald Trump’s takeover.

There are 33m companies in the USA. Only 21k employe 500 or more. And they only make up 23% of workers.
Trump and Elon are ignoring the more than 32m entrepreneurs that can't afford to build a new factory or pay tariffs or absorb cancelled contracts.
