As a share of all health spending, #Canada allocates 75 per cent as public investment.

Canada is a standout Scrooge. The Netherlands, Germany, Sweden and France all spend 85 per cent or more via #PublicFunding.” Via @picardonhealth

Why does one Australian government funded body (the #ABC) source its media from a privately-held foreign corporation (#Twitter) when Twitter just gets it from another Australian government-funded body (the #BOM)? Surely they could skip the problematic middleman and organise things directly? #PublicFunding #Privatisation #AustralianMedia

I put this together out of frustration one night. I'm tired of elections being bought.
#PublicFunding of campaigns would leave our representatives free to do work, instead of begging for money. it would clear out those fundraising emails in your inbox.
We'd start getting some truly awesome creative campaigns, "we have this much money, how do we maximize?!" The late, great Jim Varney got his start doing inexpensive commercials for local companies.
(1: corporate money out of elections!
2: no public election funding.
3: only corporate money out.)

Since Mastodon maintenance is based on donations, I was wondering whether all those accounts of national & international, incl. EU institutions, contribute. If they do, they should make this be known publicly because it's public money involved & to avoid being suspected of funding a project of their own, which would be to the detriment of those who believe in an independent public space. Maybe we should discuss this now before it's too late?
