SENATE BILL: The Atlasian National Broadcaster Bill (Law'd)

[H.E. VOLODYMYR ZELENKSYY]

Aren't all institutions carried over unless explicitly changed (see the NUDA debate)?

2 - Gov't will use National Broadcaster as a method of brain-washing. Knowing our current administration, it will have a liberal/progressive bias.

Really, Pingvin? This is a democratic republic here, not China. PBS isn't brainwashing Americans IRL.

"Hate speech" term is often used by liberals to censor "radical conservative" commentators.

And 'liberal-biased' is often used to slander media outlets that aren't Fox News.

And so my point is proven. 'Liberal' is a dirty word nowadays, as it has been slammed in the faces of the average Atlasian by right-leaning outlets.

Now, back to my original point: how has the government, IRL, been brainwashing people with PBS or NPR, which it does not control?

I can not support this bill ESPECIALLY when it raises taxes- it would be much less objectionable if it cut somethign else to pay for it but as it stands I bet there is national outrage over this...

So you'd rather cut, say, the ANHP than raise taxes a fraction of a percent on a wealthy fraction of the population? We'll see how that flies with the voting public.

This bill- if proposed in real life- would get Polnut and me (because I technically sponsored it) thrown out of office...an outright tax increase for a new TV channel...the population on this board who knows

But in real life, no one's ever lost an election because they used your tax dollars to fund PBS and NPR.

PBS is a mostly local-run, not national, and is mostly funded by donations- not taxes

But it is federally funded.

And anyway, would cutting more important things than this really be worth saving a few people a few tax dollars?

[H.E. VOLODYMYR ZELENKSYY]

I move to dismiss that as unrealistic.

[H.E. VOLODYMYR ZELENKSYY]

I move to dismiss that as unrealistic.

Maybe so, but even if that were the case, my preference would be to have a vote held on the amendment rather than to just have me strike it based on my personal opinion and biases with that regard.

Well, you can do that, but I'm dismissing it in my mind-chamber from which I type. Currently, I am the King of the Mind-Chamber and have (symbolic) authority on everything.

[H.E. VOLODYMYR ZELENKSYY]

Aye.

[H.E. VOLODYMYR ZELENKSYY]

And it has occurred. 5-4 and MoPo .
