Charge every one 27 cents a day {$100 per year} and with the 200,000 visitors you will raise $2 million, and the beg-a-thons will be a distant bad memory.
Would the FReeloaders at least thank the FReepers that do send money, and if you can't afford $100 a year, how can you afford a computer?
There are FReeploaders but there are also those who have lost jobs or watched the value of their fixed incomes shrink as prices have skyrocketed.
Everything you said is sadly true, however, we don’t know every individual’s circumstances. Take mine, for example, which have drastically changed, for the worst. I’m NOT going to change my donation to FR because FR is vitally important to me. FR, Jim, my countless FRiends here, this FReepathon team, are my family, my lifeline and I mean this earnestly. Instead, I have dropped netflix and the two newspapers and I intend to cancel even more subscriptions as I come across each one. It’s a matter of priorites, I reckon.
God bless and keep you, dearest one and God bless all of our donors and those who want to donate, but can’t.
