That doesn't sounds like a wasteful grant at all. Wasteful spending is spending on things like war and for profit insurance companies, things that suck the life out of the world.

Whereas circus arts and coconut production give life.

And yet Europe has massive youth unemployment throughout large regions, there is poverty, there are problems. Why are they spending money on trivialities like circus performers in Africa: a place Europeans don't live?

If you can't see why many people would be upset by forcing taxpayers to cough up money and then spending it on that, I'm not sure what to say. Resources aren't free.

We all do better when we all do better.
