Hey Larry,

I'll pass over your first lament on $$$. You exceeded my aggregate for the last 15 years with your Feb total. 😜

Newsbreak wants to be your local news channel. Write about a water main break in Upsala, WI and your good. Write about ethics in DC and you get crickets.

I have a strike 1 on appeal as well for Nudity and Sexual Content. I posted an article I did for Medium on the poetry of Charles Bukowsk!! We'll see.

On Substack, I'm still in the dark on this one. I have a feeling most platforms are hurting as they try to change the publishing landscape. Probably 98% of Internet content is coming from low-paying platforms, AI or something similar. We used to rail against publishing houses and magazines and their over-controlling practices - now they seem benign compared to what's out there. Money is still being made but in ways that confound me. It seems like everyone is selling content on how to make money online. Like a literary MLM scheme.

Anyway, thanks for the read.
