ok i've been thinking about the loicense meme for ages, i always assumed it was abt like hot work certifications and chainsaw certifications and shit like that, but turns out it's actually just americans misunderstanding the concept of a TV license? which is weird because the UK isn't like nearly the only country to have that. and it's not a license in the sense that you have to train for it, it's just money that goes to the parties that make public TV and maintain the broadcasting network. the US just funds the PBS and NPR with taxes and donations instead of charging just those who access them, it's not really that different a system.
