6. People not only cancel but donate to PBS

what they were paying for the Hulu/Disney/ESPN bundle.

I don't have Hulu--never have-- and ESPN is included in my YouTube TV subscription. I did donate to my NC PBS several weeks ago and have been binging on Passport shows. PBS has been requesting donations non stop to cover what the Feds have withdrawn. I saw in the news yesterday that NC PBS has reached the point of having to make layoffs.
The quality of the shows I've watched on PBS Passport in the last few weeks has been phenomenal. Just wonderful.

This country is so fu*ked. Really fu*ked. Anything that reflects quality is being destroyed.
