    Sorry, I didn’t realize that funding musicals in Ireland was core to the functioning of the American government. My bad!

    /s in case you couldn’t tell.

      It’s called soft power. Basically an investment in presenting the best part of your culture to others hoping that it will attract people to your ideals and idea of society to ease collaboration with other peoples.

      But you do understand the reasoning behind such an investment with your superior intellect, I’m sure.

      And I’m also sure that you do understand that where an investment is missing others will provide that investment. Promoting their culture in lieu of others.

      I’m putting /s explicitly because I’m not sure you’d get my sarcasm, I don’t think you could understand these subtle reasonings
