I've got family in Arkansas. They love Jews as long as they show proper deference to the Christian interpretation of Jewish texts.

How original- fascist declares political opponent to be non-person.

FTA:

Just be honest. You don't think it's a jobs program for Democrats (since the articles says nothing to that effect).
You're just pissed off that they don't limit their Republican representation to pro-Trumpers.

Of course they mod you down because you post a load of crap

Vanity and an ego problem

When you arrived in Nuremberg, did it feel like you had finally made it home?

And there are also a larger number of people who aren't hiding anything, and the involved parties (including the government) already knows what all their securities transactions are.

And some of those people might prefer to trade in a more transparent system that has less commingling with money launderers.

Believing in lawful transactions and order is not a form of altruism. Don't be such a chucklehead.

You certainly wouldn't buy any US fighter planes as they've admitted it has a kill switch

If you didn't have bottom-third literacy you'd have just read the data in the chart. Since Arkansas starts with an A and the list is alphabetical you'd have found it very easily.

However, since you can barely read you resorted to looking at the pictures. And your geography knowledge is also bottom-third, so you failed to correctly identify Arkansas on the map.

They're a middle-third State, and the highest-ranked in the Deep South region.

I disagree the goals of the idiots pushing these changes, but local content is the part of public broadcasting that I find interesting. Keep in mind that a lot of the employees at public broadcasters, even in a red state, have the same values as public broadcasting employees in liberal states. It is quite possible that they will indeed have an increase in wholesome local content.

The big thing they're losing is wholesome children's content. Local art, history, and cultural programs can be made on a budget, but it takes a lot of money (and professionals) to make children's content that is actually entertaining to children.

Prediction: Children annoying their parents by singing earworm TV commercial songs will increase at least 58%.

A lot of their programs are Discovery-style drivel where half the show is devoted to disproven nonsense "some people believe," and even the parts that are accurate don't try to teach anything useful, but instead go through only the parts of the discussion that have wow-words.

Sometimes it is good, but there is generally better (and also worse) content on YT made without the big budget.

If PBS stopped making that content, perhaps local public broadcasters could make higher quality content on the same subjects with a lower budget. By "higher quality" I mean, "more educational." Obviously it would be less slick, it would look less like mainstream teevee. That's what NOVA is best at: Being a regular slick TV show.

People go to prison for blow or blowing all the time.

However, the thing you missed is that many of the charges are for transacting in illicitly obtained property. Those charges are directly related to blowing the money. The money laundering charge is also related to the manner in which he blew the money. Only one of the seven charges was for the embezzling, the other 6 were because he blew it. If he'd just put the money under his mattress he'd have only had the one charge, they'd have recovered the money, and he'd likely only be facing probation.

The maximum sentence for any of the charges is 20 years.

In the US, sentencing guidelines require most sentences to be served concurrently. He would have had to do something exceptionally repugnant to get consecutive sentences, like stealing from little old ladies or kids' college funds. Here, he stole the money from the company he had a contract with, he stole only what they intentionally risked, and the theft doesn't put the company in any sort of existential danger. So any consecutive sentence would be overturned on appeal.

He's probably facing 5-7 years in a country club, though it could easily be less.

You seem to be confusing "wanting to get rid of communists" with "wanting their countries to be poor and dangerous".

In short: All of this is the consequence of post-WW2 ultra-empowerment of the executive by the legislature.
We like to blame the guy instead of the laws that enable him.

The system was designed to survive a mini-mussolini. The system was not designed to protect against a legislature that did not jealously guard its power.
