3/3 it is impossible to pay for all the subscriptions. And I have a job, full-time. But at the end of the month, the bank account is just as empty as many others. So while I appreciate the rise and independent media a lot, I’m not sure it helps us. Now even media is a class system.

2/3 just how many things can someone subscribe to? People already tight financially and the subscriptions aren’t $.99 or two dollars a month but they are often 10, 12, $20. For one news source. For myself, I noticed that the information I want I can’t get unless I pay. But for me…

I’m curious what podcast everybody is listening to. I’m still trying to find a good news podcast. Some people recommend @meidastouch.com
