And who says there’s never good news?

People aren’t buying many parakeets anymore, so they don’t need it.

Subscription cost (at least locally) is some long-term deal that they want you to sign up to....$40 for the first year, and going to $120 a year after that point. Wouldn’t shock me if by 2024, they get up to the $160 a year level.

No thanks.

“Trump was right”

has been said many times

The Post has been slanting its news in favor of Democrats for decades.

Now, hold on. Everyone in this great US of A has had to tighten belts as the cost of living spirals. I saw my year-to-year cost of living go up 25 percent. Which means I have had to re-evaluate my spending, in particular calculating the return on investment of each purchase.

Bottom line: I currently have zero subscriptions to ANY dead-tree publication. Right, left, off-the-wall, or Communist. I keep up by using on-line resources, of which there are plenty. The news business doesn't want to hear this, especially as the advertising business model is sagging.

Plus, not having the dead trees delivered to my door-step reduces the number of trips to the recycling station, saving the gas expense. At north of $5/gallon, that's a significant expense. And I can't buy an electric plugin car; my apartment lease forbids it.

I hear people say "Watch when prices go down." That hasn't been the norm over the past century. I still remember 0.29/gallon gas. I still remember 0.50 paperback books. I still remember "penny candy." My first car was $600, and that wasn't all that long ago.

I call "pipe dream."
