At least it's focused on Music industry. At least I'm comfortable as a patron that some egoist exec won't just shut it down out of nowhere.

It's not always true. In San Francisco the people I meet in meetups are often broken and puts little trust in strangers. TBH, I never met so many lonely broken people in other parts of the world.

You're just trolling this guy. Science knowledge is not transferable. I cannot make a rocket scientist do high energy particle physics research. If there is no demand for rocket scientist then his wage would be low. How hard is that to
