Thread Name: England's National Musical-Instrument?
Subject: RE: England's National Musical-Instrument?
Within the broader music industry, and beyond, what some get for their hour's work, compared with
others, is ridiculous and inhumane; hence, many relatively competent musicians within the folk-scene are
really struggling to make ends meet; so, if we like fair competition, we don't like capitalism. A better way,
as I've suggested in verse, is to accept that humans are competitive, and have strong regulations (partly via
nationalisation) to make that competition as fair as possible – whilst also providing "safety-net" support.
