I read something a while back about the value of certain skills and services to society. At the bottom of that list is entertainers including sports celebrities. Society has always been able to function without them. All they are is a "perk" to take the stress away from every day life. It does provide some value in that sense, but if you couldn't watch movies or TV shows, what would you do?

  • Enjoy hobbies (create your own entertainment and stress relief)
  • Exercise, take kids to the park, camping, hunting, fishing, driving your motorcycle or sports car, read books, learn new skills (learn to code), learn to play a musical instrument
  • Interact on thedonald.win

The only downside of not having an entertainment industry is displacing the skilled people it employs just like the guy in the video states.

Yeah man. Great points. Last year I spent 5 months with no entertainment and it was the most fruitful time of my life.

Entertainers have always been low the on the totem pole. It's a marvel to me that we idolize them now, and listen to their political opinions for that matter.

Funny (or not) how we do idolize them. They're treated like royalty and our ignorant society places such a high value on them. If an entertainer stops working, does anyone really take notice or does it really affect anyone? Maybe their fans, but no one else. If the garbage truck guy, the nurses, emergency workers, store employees, shelf stockers, truck drivers and others don't show up for work, the nation will notice it within days.
