Bob Ross’ show ended 30 years ago, and PBS and NPR funding has declined even more as a proportion of operating costs since then.

That’s what NPR and PBS were supposed to be, but they’re so perpetually underfunded that they’re almost commercial stations. edit: with corporate sponsors and viewer funding pledge drives.

Some public stations have been taken over by right wing orgs that came in with massive funding.

Could be one of those C-suite power plays:

Texeira is managing their one profitable product profitably and looks destined to be CEO.

The old CEO Baker suddenly resigns, and appoints Chambers as (permanent) successor CEO.

Chambers and/or Baker is in tight with the head of HR Chehak, and gets her to declare that Texeira is physically unfit for his job as Chief Product Officer or any other job at Mozilla.

Chambers and/or Baker get their wish for Chambers to become CEO;

Demonstrably competent exec Texeira is essentially out of a job;

Great success!

The official reason for the introduction of the six-day work week is that there is a shortage of skilled workers on the Greek labor market as the population keeps shrinking and the country losing scores of thousands of workers who fled during the economic and austerity crisis in search of jobs in other countries.

So “The austerity and beatings will continue until morale improves.”

What is this?

Shit News Source Day?

I stand corrected, thank you!

This is likely fake news.

If true, this would be an important story, but it hasn’t been picked up by any major news outlets as far as I can tell.

I am corrected by @sprack@lemmy.world and retract my comment.

Or place the figure in context:

120 million is about 1/3 of the population of the United States (about 350 million), or 1/4 the population of the EU (about 448 million)

Imagine if 1/4-1/3 of the country that you reside in suddenly became refugees, and needed emergency shelter, water, food, etc.

Of course, in the actual countries or regions where the refugees are coming from, things are even worse.

A surprise move from long time Russian-backed Armenia, due to Russia’s lack of recent support for its struggle against Turkey-backed Azerbaijan over ethnic cleansing of ethnic Armenians in the Nagorno-Karabakh region.

Enjoy your burned out restaurant…

edit: I retract my comment due to prior ignorance about Chiquita’s corporate behavior.

In this case, I can believe that Chiquita didn’t set out to finance the AUC, but was unfortunate in that their banana plantations fell into AUC-controlled territory, and therefore were extorted for protection money.

It’s like if I owned an Italian restaurant, the mafia comes in and extorts me for protection money, then the feds come and arrest me for financing the mafia. What was I supposed to do?

edit: I didn’t know about Chiquita. Thanks for the replies and info!

Yes, that’s happening in all advanced countries due to declining birth rates.

Looks like he could use less nutrition himself.

An ammunition in possession of an army is that army’s bomb, regardless of who made it.

There could an Israeli-made bomb in the possession of Hamas, for example, but one wouldn’t call it an Israeli bomb except under very specific context.

Kilauea’s kind of constantly erupting isn’t it?

The Guardian has an international writing staff.

The author of this article, if you click on her name, for example:

Rachel Leingang is a democracy reporter focused on misinformation for Guardian US. She is based in Minneapolis, Minnesota

Here’s her LinkedIn, saying she has 10 years of reporting experience after going to the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communications in Arizona for 4 years. https://www.linkedin.com/in/rachel-leingang-6a044b2a

I’ll leave that up to your expert opinion.

The labeling on any kind of product doesn’t represent where it came from.

China makes all kinds of shtuff with English and a zillion other languages, and localizes them for export.

I’m sure American arms manufacturers do the same.

On the other hand, her faith in Mortal Kombat appears to be genuinely sincere.

It just goes to prove that if you have enough money, you can always find some woman to jump on your withered dick.
