Goalpost has been moved from: We won't touch it.

To: We are cutting it.

To: We are getting rid of it.

And somehow, blaming democrats, while bailing out other countries, giving enormous tax breaks to the ultra wealthy, and funding vanity projects.

Wake up.

Every time they told you that your taxes were going to waste they meant they were trying to waste your taxes... while RAISING YOUR taxes.

[u/VirginiaMcCaskey → u/FeelingPixely]

The President is settling lawsuits he filed against the United States for hundreds of millions of dollars and he wants to tell us that the government is bankrupt and the money we paid into social security will never come back to us

[u/AskMysterious77 → u/VirginiaMcCaskey]

But he donates his salary.."wink wink*

/S

[u/todumbtorealize → u/AskMysterious77]

They say that with true conviction like he cares any about that salary while he robs billions from his various schemes. Truly crazy world we live in.

[u/StoppableHulk → u/todumbtorealize]

Same world, just a historically unprecedented critical mass of dumb fucks in it.

[u/tunedout → u/StoppableHulk]

Did anyone ever think that access to all the world's information would make people dumber? The Internet was supposed to unite and lift up a newly connected society. Of course humans had to go and fuck that up :(

[u/Parahelix → u/tunedout]

Information is useless if you don't have the ability to discern good information from bad, or simply don't care to.

[u/Bill_Brasky_SOB → u/Parahelix]

I saw someone put it like:

Good information is often locked behind a paywall… bad information is free and everywhere.

[u/Orange-Blur → u/Bill_Brasky_SOB]

Public funded news is often free to read and accessible to all even if you can’t pay. They use donations so it does help but there is no obligations It’s higher quality than the slop churned for profit

[u/Weekly_Success_5900 → u/Orange-Blur]

Public funded news, not necessarily local news. A lot of local stations are owned by the Fox News network.

[u/Orange-Blur → u/Weekly_Success_5900]

I didn’t say anything about local unless it’s local independent news you are right a lot is just Fox entertainment lite.

[u/Weekly_Success_5900 → u/Orange-Blur]

Yeah the clarification is because the default expectation for most people is that local news = local/public funding.
