You know, if you want us to actually read the content you share, you'll want to make sure that there aren't any barriers in our way requiring us to sign up/subscribe. I know I'm getting tired of clicking on links you share and getting shut down because I don't actually subscribe to them.

It's not that Dave didn't understand you, but was just Dave being Dave. Maybe try again in the Dave spirit.

Joel has no likes, posts, or activities on his profile and only subscribes to Next Draft, which seems altogether odd. Isn’t everyone automatically subscribed to the Substack stack? 🤔

"This is one more reason why the pro democracy crowd is desperate for a leader. It’s not just that corporate America is divided and therefore easier to conquer. It’s that there is no powerful voice calling on them, or anyone else, to unify for the good of the country." Even better than having a leader calling shots would be a coalition with many millions that would become a force to get behind things like boycotts and marches. Why oh why hasn't any influential figure or entity put up a flagpole for that????
