Nah they get more than that, it's like 40-70% but it filters through individual member stations. This cut will be felt. Even the shift in his first term towards more corporate donations to stay afloat hurt them, badly.

For what it's worth, I could tell. Lots of people can't recognize sarcasm anymore if they aren't beaten over the head with it and an /s tag.

The reason that the stock market cratered in response to this was that regular consumers are about to get hit with a 25%+ price increase on literally everything they buy. If you don't make 25% more paycheck, you're going to be cutting your lifestyle by the difference. Companies know this and are anticipating major lost revenue because people won't have money to spend on their products. The price increases are probably going to be in full swing in 2-3 months, but that's an educated guess, only.

Ok, so it's flat and on top of another object, like a board on a wheel! The surface is flat but wobbles a bit.
