I wish I had money to pay for substack. I am on disability (I am not alone, so am otherwise supported), and am helping to support a loved one who is currently homeless in a large and notorious city. We may soon be called on to assist another family member.

I say this, not looking for sympathy, but to illustrate the very messed up system that is working against the independant forces.

But YAY Substack! As scary as it can be, it is a breath of fresh air

I read dozens of tough-news Substacks. Elizabeth’s distinctive reporting, uniquely supplemented with a bit of merciful optimism, richly deserves $ support... her perspective somehow manages to simultaneously capture the view both from the ground and 40,000 feet up.

Our bonuses are the judiciously sprinkled on-target descriptors which always elicit a laugh-through-tears:

“this is established fact from Vanity Fair, which all you streaked-blond, dumb clucks from SuburbLand read”

“the regime, this putrid, rotting, Zombie-fied corpse of baby-killers”

Thanks Elizabeth as always. Keep on pushing.
