Oh no they should, they should just make sure the kids they want to label as such and then justify their punishment boner with are actually fascists and not just dumb kids.
Yeah bro no worries, if the car brand you’re emotionally attached to doesn’t do well this year just feel free to ignore or justify the results until your feelings have stabilized. That’s what everyone else here is doing based on their hatred for one dude. No judgement here!
You seem to be confusing the two organizations which is understandable as it is kind of confusing subject.
One of them supports local stations, and then the other supports them politically that’s why it says it’s affiliate.
So while one half of the group lobbies in their interest to “support local stations” (again, allegedly, I don’t fucking work for them and have no idea what they actually do) the other half supports the stations that are a part of their membership.
Those member stations that they support are indeed the ones listed on that website. What “support” truly means in their context, I have no clue my dude.
*the starting comment for this tree found their tax stuff and after looking it over myself, I agree with their assessment that they mostly funnel money to staff, earning their 15 full time employees about 163k dollars a year each, if it’s divided equally. They claim to provide money to their member stations based on certain conditions being met, but it’s a pittance of their total income. Seems like Ajit will feel right at home!
They help fund some public stations around the country, and lobby to support them, allegedly.
America's Public Television Stations (APTS) is a nonprofit membership organization ensuring a strong and financially sound public television system and helping member stations provide essential public services in education, public safety and civic leadership to the American people.
Its affiliate APTS Action, Inc. promotes the legislative and regulatory interests of noncommercial television stations at the national level through direct advocacy and through grasstops and grassroots campaigns designed to garner bipartisan political support. The public television system is comprised of 158 licensees operating 356 public television stations across America and serving more than 97 percent of the American people. About half of these licensees are nonprofit community foundations. The rest are State, university and local school district licensees. All are locally owned, locally operated and locally oriented in their programming and community services, and all share a mission of serving everyone, everywhere, every day for free – including in places where no model for commercial success exists.
APTS is committed to diversity, equity and inclusion in all forms to reflect the society that public television serves.
Additionally, APTS is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We are continually working to improve the user experience for everyone, and applying the relevant accessibility standards.
Nope, it’s because of legacy automakers producing shit EVs bringing the average down.
“Most electric cars today are being manufactured by either legacy automakers that are new to EV technology, or by companies like Rivian that are new to making cars,” says Jake Fisher, senior director of auto testing at Consumer Reports. “It’s not surprising that they’re having growing pains and need some time to work out the bugs.” Fisher says some of the most common problems EV owners report are issues with electric drive motors, charging, and EV batteries. (Note: Charging problems reported by members are with the vehicle, not with home or public chargers.)
If you’d read the article, teslas were the “middle ground” and the only recommended vehicles.
Their reliability rating hits came from defects like chipped paint, door handles not releasing, and trunks that didn’t close, but their actual drivetrain and batteries were fine.
Oh no they should, they should just make sure the kids they want to label as such and then justify their punishment boner with are actually fascists and not just dumb kids.
Nice bait though!
