Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Rice. Bananas.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
ION, today is the first day this year where the day is longer than the night in Chicago. Today has 12 hours, one second of daylight.
But if you're further North, your day would be shorter.
Also, 3 days, 5 hours and 25 minutes to the Vernal Equinox.

Jell-o. Though that might be too sweet for you. Maybe unflavored gelatin and juice or something?

Our wings are not tired.
Would $15/month be too much for the print edition? Just curious.
Nope. But I'm coming from this as someone who already subscribes to a print edition of my local paper and a print subscription to the Economist. So the NYT is a luxury for supplementing those. I think the NYT is worth more than $15 a month, I just don't think the average consumer will pay it.
Sox, you've always paid for ads when reading the print versions of papers, they're just not as noticable and they don't pop up.
My newspaper journalist friends point to one thing as the demise of newspaper quality and availability and revenue: craigslist and ebay. The ads that people used to pay for to sell their stuff in the classifieds section of the paper moved online in the last decade. Something has to replace that revenue, or the salaries for the real journalists is gone. And it's a very, very bad thing.
If it means that more investigative journalism will be conducted, I'll shell out the $15. But I don't have a family to support.

not your mom's socks.
Thanks Java, this is the more nuanced discussion I wasn't voicing so well.

I do have one, and I'm still considering shelling out - I'm not saying that.

agreed on both points.
General, and to close out my part in this - I think people should be paid for the work they do. Otherwise, I have a lot of thoughts on the topic that aren't coming across well, and will likely spark something that I don't want to spark, not really being sure of how I feel about the whole thing. File me under conflicted.
Ita, I'm glad you have a diagnosis.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Burrell is going to help me out! Just saved me from the nether depths of vons.com. It is kinda odd how I seem to live in a dead zone for most other grocery delivery services.
