THE PROBLEM
WITH ONE-TIME DONATIONS... We are certainly grateful to any donor for any
donation we receive, in any form we receive it. However, clearly we are making a
big push for monthly donors. Here’s why: With monthly donors we know what our
budget is. That’s key to making financial commitments to team members,
contributors and vendors. One-time donations are wonderful but difficult to
predict. The monthly donations have the added advantage of being automated.
That’s huge. It removes the cost of having a live human constantly updating the
donor records manually. That cost of paying a human to update the one-time donor
records can wipe out 25-50% of all the money donated! Every donor helps, monthly
donations do work better. / Marc Ash, Founder Reader Supported

Crazy Climate Economics
Paul Krugman, The New York Times
Krugman writes: "Everywhere you look these days, you see Marxism on the rise. Well, O.K., maybe you don't — but conservatives do. If you so much as mention income inequality, you'll be denounced as the second coming of Joseph Stalin."

Editors Don't
Belong in Courtrooms, and Cecily McMillan Doesn't Belong in
Prison
Kathryn Funkhouser, The Nation
Funkhouser writes: "Throughout the case, the prosecutor set out to distract the jury from the question at hand by discussing undocumented events, treating witnesses' opinions as fact and casting aspersions on McMillan's character. Judge Zweibel gave them free rein to do so, while consistently ruling key testimony and evidence for the defense inadmissible."
