STEAM — Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics are increasingly undervalued by institutions when they are increasingly needed.

This art work is brilliant!
It demonstrates unequivocally, the absolute absurdity of these so called “agreements”.
We unwittingly “sign” so many legal contracts without ever reading them.
