Some of you high rollers out there may want to consider joining my exclusive Fat Cat’s Club! For a mere $5.00 per month, your membership will get you my compelling newsletter, a warmish feeling of having done something worthwhile on the climate front, and possibly another entry on your Who’s Who byline.
You subscription fee will be divided as follows: 50 cents goes to the fine folks at Substack for making my newsletter available to a wider audience. About 15 cents will go to some credit card company (which more than likely supports agricultural deforestation and petroleum interests) for processing the payment. A penny or two may go to my expenses (coffee, Cheez-its) to sustain my strength during production of the newsletter. The balance will go into a monthly contribution to one of the climate organizations on my exclusive list. Political campaigns or PACs are not eligible.
You can cancel you subscription at any time, and it won’t make a particle of difference — you’ll still get the newsletter! So COME ON! I know you’ve always wanted to be a FAT CAT!
You're right! I always wanted to be a Fat Cat and now I am, and I didn't even have to get a job at Goldman Sachs! Anyway, I'm enjoying your newsletter. Since Maine is my favorite get-away venue, I subscribed to keep up with events in the Pine Tree state about what is arguably the most important issue of our time: the neoliberal capitalist destruction of planet earth, our precious resource base, without which nothing survives. We're making an effort down here in Delaware to raise awareness of the issue, but it's a quixotic quest. Eye-witness reports on recent frontline protests are posted on Reflections in the Frame . . . Onward!
