I love how you guys defend and even celebrate the waste.
PBS and NPR are not a waste.
This is debatable but that said, does funding for PBS and NPR belong in bill that is meant to save the economy from a pandemic? They do this because if they ever sent a spending bill to congress for nothing other than funding PBS and NPR it would never get through. They have to piggy back (hide) it in a bill that the American people deem important.
They are a source for news and educational programming that is not tied to advertisers or other financing that could influence their coverage.
So yeah, as the nation enters shelter-in-place orders, we need public media. The outlets that put entertainment and profitability BEHIND information and education.

How many ventilators could $500 billion purchased being reserved for corporate bailouts? This game could be played all day.
It's not an issue with money for ventilators, never has been. It's always been about supply and the push to manufacture them.
Also, still awaiting an answer to the question I posed on Page 70:
Your message - "It looks like Trump's doing pretty well. Especially for how unprecedented this pandemic is. I have no doubt that Biden or Sanders would have been a complete disaster during this crisis."
My reply - "How would they have been a disaster? Expand on this thought a bit please."

He shouldn't be banned for having a difference of opinion.
That said, let's actually talk about the subject vs. simply parroting extreme right-wing tweeters.
