So I know everyone's on a USAID beating frenzy, even though I still have yet to see any proof of any of the things that have been "exposed". Just curious, for years I've heard NPR should be defunded due to perceived bias. How can someone say things like this, knowing full well that they take more taxpayer money than NPR and are indisputably bias, and currently very impactful in decision making of this administration. Musks government subsidies and grants should be cut as well.

    1. SpaceX provides a service to the government (like rescuing stranded astronauts). NPR does not.

      One’s purpose is to advance human understanding, and one is out to control human understanding.

      Do better, rabbit.

      Is NPR also bailing out another heavily taxpayer funded agency NASA like Space X has had to?

      It trips me out the internet hasn’t put 2 and 2 together yet with spaceX reuseable rockets and the military.

      What was the space program of the 60s? It was a giant ICBM program with a dash of space exploration.

      Now our current nuclear silo’s are old…..stationary and usually 1 and done or at the very least take weeks to reload. They are also the first targets in the event of a nuclear war. Each country would target the other countries silo’s first.

      Now put 2 and 2 together and realize how useful a mobile rapidly reusable ICBM platform that could launch and land from anywhere reload and launch again in 30 minutes. SpaceX is extremely undervalued and is where musk real money is.

      Space X provides a legitimate military and civilian service of sending out stuff to space. NPR is an apolitical new organization. Do you see the difference?

      Fuck that. NPR instead should get it’s own space program! Beg-a-thons in space would be epic

    7. lol “but without usaid, our childhoods wouldn’t have had arthur, the big comfy couch and the reading rainbow!”! (the last ones ironic because the programming is sooooo obvious now)

    8. yeah those are federal contracts mostly. we actually get tangible value from it. what do we get from npr?
