My son loves PBS, dude. I'm well aware of what the pledge drives are.

Hell, we donate every month. Got a really cool Mr Rogers mug out of the deal :lol:
Sorry man. My comment was due to the fact that my former city’s NPR station actually cut the number of these fundraising events. That’s why I misunderstood your comment.

"In 2017, Stanford’s Matthew Gentzkow looked at a series of Pew Research Center surveys of Americans’ views on policies ranging from government regulation to welfare, immigration, and the environment, and noted that fewer individuals in 2014 than 10 years earlier held positions that put them across the political divide from their own, self-identified political party. “Most Americans hold relatively moderate views on, say, immigration,” he writes. “But the frequency of Republicans holding pro-immigrant views, or Democrats holding anti-immigrant views, has decreased substantially.” Where Americans’ political views and social attitudes, charted, might once have looked like a bell curve, with the majority gathered at a moderate center, the line increasingly shows two separate humps where Democrats and Republicans congregate. "

I understand that people have become more polarized on policies but this below about the difference in Republicans and Democrats' opinion on how religious Trump is (62% v 12% of them believe he's very/somewhat religious) is bizarre (64% of white evangelicals hold that opinion too).

This also underlies how facts are now useless when there isn’t agreement.

Capitol Hill Organized Protest (CHOP) or Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone (CHAZ)
It’s funny how people pick sides with this though. I don’t see much difference from the 2014 Bundy standoff with another BLM involved at the time, the Bureau of Land Management. But good luck finding supporters of both.

Someone please help me understand this "Cancel Rent" movement. I just don't get it.

Have you seen the “real rent” thing that’s been going on in Seattle for a couple years? Of course it’s Seattle. :lol2:

SJW’s trying to guilt people into paying extra rent above and beyond that which goes to landlord, to the First Nations group that once held that “unceded” land.

Their group is called “the coalition of anti-racist whites.” :rofl:

I was hoping this would calm over a few days but it really seems like the crazy is accelerating and its having less and less to do with criminal justice reform.

Can we just give them back their stupid music festivals and imported drugs from Mexico? At this point i couldnt give two craps if they all get Covid.
