We’re paying just $45 per person on arts, culture, and media? That’s barely 82% of what our peers spend, and they’re still pulling ahead of us. If we really want to keep up, we should be matching their $252—not settling for some half-measure like $230, because right now, we’re the ones getting left behind.
