> drumpf wants to defund pbs this is a shining example of the problem with government.  at one point in the history of tv broadcasting the idea of the government funding a public broadcaster that broadcasts educational, informative content free of corporate interference might have been a good idea. the problem is that tv broadcasting is way, way, wayyyyyyy developed to the point of the medium declining into obscurity, but did the government spending every go away? nope. if anything people defend it even harder and want to spend even more money on it. this is why i hate government getting involved in anything, because it may start out as a 'good idea' but then an entire welfare economy grows up around it even when it has completely outlived any objective usefulness. youtube and the internet in general completely and totally replaced any need for a public broadcaster 15yrs ago. the type of content on pbs can be found on the internet for free and 1,000,000x the volume of knowledge, detail, and variety. pbs is totally obsolete and has been replaced by an objectively better alternative, but for some reason we still need to waste taxpayer dollars on it?!?!  fuck all of that, government does this with everything. look how bad the student loan disaster is, yet nobody is even floating the idea of getting rid of student loans or reforming the american secondary education system. when government gets involved with anything prices go up, quality goes down. it just becomes a game for wasteful, untalented idiots to enrich themselves on government welfare dollars. first it started with people and now corporations are becoming welfare niggers as well. pathetic, get rid of all of this shit; we dont need any of it.
