How do you separate human endeavour from politics and money? They seem to be inextricably. Or rather, they are one and the same thing and we use the terms 'politics', 'money', 'human endeavour', and whatever other terms are fashionable in the social sciences this week, as a convenient way to communicate about specific aspects of the human condition.

I don't disagree with you. In fact, I agree with you. My comment is directed at the title of the article, suggesting this has something to do with government and politics. But reading a few paragraphs the whole problem to me is just people don't want to lose their jobs, which is part of reality. I think the journalist who wrote the article is trying to make the money part less, so no one gets hurt by people who are against mass public funding program.
