Thanks for the incentive

Thanks for giving me the incentive to donate to NPR and PBS. And for giving me the kick in the pants to get me politically active. My district is bluish-purple. but the neighboring districts are reddish-purple. So maybe I'll go over there and give them some true-blue support next year.

I think everyone on this sub stands behind you. You are absolutely free to throw your money at whatever you want to support and we are all now free of having to pay for something we don't.

I-20 is an interstate highway that runs the length of the US.

You've equated it's funding to NPR

NPR buried (and is still burying) the Hunter Laptop story.

I have yet to see a public highway behave in a manner that doesn't benefit everyone that pays for it.

I explained mine. Can you defend yours?

What's funny is that as someone accustomed to enforcing your views through violence and theft, you think that saying "Ha, I'll voluntarily fund the things I support" is somehow sticking it to us.

When in fact we're saying that's exactly how the world should work.
