PBS has been pushed into a tough spot because so many people only donate around the special programming. And, everyone is more than willing to believe that someone else will pay for the content they take advantage of. The U.S. could be like Canada and U.K. and simply add a tax for TV and Radio. Because, Americans love more taxes! Thank you to everyone who actually donates to your local public radio station (and subscribes to the local newspaper). You make a difference!
I’m always amazed at how many people on these shows plan house purchases or renovations around hypothetical parties or overnight guests.
