The other thing we can do is spend our cable and paper subscription money on Substack subscriptions instead. There's lots of great, honest and thoughtful writing to be found and supported there. I am not going to cancel WaPo after reading this. Thanks Thom.

I am with you Dotty, except substack doesn't have an option for one time year subscription.The latest business model, being adopted by everyone it seems is to have one sign up for a recurring subscription,with the promise that you can cancel at any time, only problem is by the time you need to cancel or want to cancel, you forgot how. and a minimum subscription is $80, times that by the number of substacks to which you would subscribe, the add in the number of streaming services to which you subscribe, your anti virus, and I understand that now, you have to yearly subscribe to windows or it's office program, and how can you manage a budget (or does one now a day),much less eat, travel, cloth, warm, entertain without going into perpertual debt slavery.?
