Because I don’t care what company it is. Compare apples and apples don’t fall for the stupid political double speak that has gotten Amerca to where it is.
Propaganda is propaganda regardless of if you agree with it or not
maybe when searching for stats, the first sources they found used those words. I don’t think you should immediately suspect propoganda, and I think that budget and revenue are comparable enough so that these statistics are still usable.
edit: according to Wikipedia, NPR’s budget and revenue were approximately equal so…
Then you’re not understanding what NPR is at all. NPR is a non-profit radio station that provides free access to news, music, and programming over the radio and through TV and internet channels. Whatever NPR makes in revenue is through donations. Of course their budget is separate from their revenue. You have to have a budget at all to produce revenue.
What this is saying is that NPR spends 100x more than the government will give them to provide a literal free service to the citizens of the USA. NOR is practically self-sufficient while SpaceX is a for profit corporation whose bigger client is the federal government. If either of these organizations are a leech, it’s certainly not NPR. One of them needs the money to survive.
I suspect it’s because NPR doesn’t have consistent revenue year to year, because they do rely on donations, and spacex probably doesn’t have a consistent budget (because extra revenue would immediately be allocated for executive bonuses, or more charitably, expansion).
Why is it framed like that though revenue vs budget?
Revenue is money received for work done etc.
Budget is money allocated for the purpose of getting things done.
So Space X provides a service NPR is floated along.
Unless the poster was genuinely wrong on their terms here.
Not that I’m defending any of this but just don’t make unfair comparisons and think it’s great.
Bro what, am I reading this wrong or is your premise that NPR doesn’t provide a service?
Because they absolutely do.
I don’t really know what NPR is National Political Radio?
My point is their 1% budget from your Orange Dad isn’t revenue and doesn’t come from providing a service.
Your big chest Daddy Musks revenue comes from providing a service
So why did you make your comment when you didn’t do even 30 seconds of research on NPR?
Because I don’t care what company it is. Compare apples and apples don’t fall for the stupid political double speak that has gotten Amerca to where it is.

Ah gotcha. You’re just arguing in bad faith. I won’t be engaging with this then.
