12 April 19 It's Live on the HomePage Now: Reader Supported News YES WE EXPECT 1% OF OUR SUBSCRIBERS TO DONATE: Frankly it’s a bit of a miracle that we can provide service to a million visitors per month with only one percent of our subscribers responding to the donation requests. Without 1% contributing you can rest well assured we will not be able to continue. Reasonable donations do in fact work. / Marc Ash, Founder Reader Supported News Sure, I'll make a donation!
