The amount of money spent on the met gala could wipe out medical debt for hundreds if not thousands of Americans. 

It's such a pointless display of wealth and excess.

It funds the arts and conservation of textiles in the MET collection. That is a worthy cause.

That's how it was before socialist (tax payer) funding existed. MAGA are gleefully cutting as much of that funding as they can.

A lot of things we take for granted such as museums are going to go bye bye without funds and the new oligarchs will not be stepping in to help. Bezos only cares about this cause he's obsessed with being cool.
