For what, appearing in a bunch of films as himself?

Game of Thrones took tons of ideas from real human cultures and it wasn't very subtle, but that world still seems much more alive and real to me than what I see in the WoT television series. (I have only read parts of the first book in this series and I know the fans adore the world building, so I assume this failure is on the show and not the source material.)
I agree, but if we can clean up some of the blatant corruption in Congress then maybe the corruption in the SC and elsewhere can also be addressed.
I bet they would be well supported if they opened up donations (if that hasn't already happened). From what I have gathered, the community funds that WAG and other unions manage have been incredibly well supported so far.
And yet somehow your claim is that doing less would have been better?
Fact: The percentage of people that are in poverty is significantly lower than it was multiple decades ago.
If you only care about ideology and not actual people that are suffering every day, then yeah, giving up and letting other people solve the problem is the best thing you can do.
By whom? What is the mechanism of this curation?
I think some conservatives are exactly that, yes. They advertise and brag about it constantly.
You are just wrong. Absolute numbers are not relevant when discussing trends because, guess what, the population of the whole world has increased in the last 70 years. Shocking news!
Povery rates are approximately half of what it was in 1958, when the Census bureau began tracking data. The rate bottomed out in 2019 but then went back up in 2020 (bet you can guess why), and is now trending down again.

so what is your solution, vote for the GOP and pray they will suddenly decide NOT to gut every social program they can find?
Another example to show the double-standard is the public education vs charter schools debate. The same people that are anti-choice regarding abortion are very pro-choice when it comes to how their tax dollars are spent on education, and in both cases the underlying motivation is wanting to use the mechanisms of the state to advance their religion.
