As a senior living on $1200/month SSI, I am devastated that I do not have any extra funds for subscriptions to the many sane and readable Substack authors. I am an educated Democrat and my only info on what’s really going on are the free parts of Substack.

I just posted something very similar, so I'm right there with ya! In the past I HAVE been able to live on SS when it was closer to $1000, but I didn't own a car & had fewer bills. Maybe SOME people are 'frugal' enough to be able to live on $1250 a month (which is what I currently get) & afford everything they need: groceries, gas & car maintenance, an occasional meal out, dental bills, etc. etc., AND be able to support worthy causes, but it only goes so far. I'm SO glad that at least I'm a minimalist & don't need much & don't need new clothes. Still........

I'm so sorry my friend. This country is completely on its head. There are no more words.

Let’s just be glad we have access to at least a portion of the articles posted on Substack
