I wish Substack made one time donations (Buy Me a Coffee type donations) easier and more Substacks provided that option.

I would love to support you, but senior on fixed income makes it challenging.

Thank you for the work you are doing. It is important and you are not only knowledgable, you distill information in an accessible way.

Only you know when you are ready to start working again. And only you know when your family is ready for you to start working again. My healing heart goes out to all of you! As soon as my doctors give me the go-ahead to start listening to and watching the news again after my five heart attacks in early March (caused by my congenital fibromuscular dysplasia leading to a spontaneous coronary artery dissection), I promise I will be your biggest supporter! I have a bunch of tests tomorrow and a follow-up appointment on Friday, so hopefully, it will bring good news, and I can get back to supporting those who do the work. Please continue to hold your family close, as I will mine. 🕊️❤️‍🩹🤲

Yes we do. Reading the story of your father‘s life just getting to see what type of man he was. I have to admit that I was somewhat envious of you. I told my friends we can only wish we would have someone like that in our lives, imagine such a strong, powerful leader
