Thank you for writing this. I enjoyed reading it. I also really like the way you get so much into short successive sentences, packed with meaning and forward movement.
BTW, I also find that canceling a subscription is difficult.
At least the NYT and Washington Post removed their pay walls during the election season.
But I feel their pain too. People are losing jobs left and right, and the deline of local journalism has removed much needed watchdogs from local governments. I look forward to reading more of your work. Keep going.
