@rbreich Paywall. I looked for a sad emoji, but couldn't find it. These days the systems in place leave almost all creative people busking on virtual corners like subway musicians. I get that. But if I subscribed to everything I occasionally wanted to view or read, my whole retirement check would be gone before there was food on the table. It used to be that you could subscribe to a publication and get a selection of content. Now every writer, artist, or entertainer wants to be paid directly.

News flash: If you outlaw abortions, dictate what educators can teach in schools, and stop people from voting, you're not the party of "limited government."

@rbreich They only want to limit government when it tries to help poor people, regulate capitalism, or tax the rich.
