Having lived the first three decades of my life under a communist regime, I know the basic tune. And so, I was wondering at the beginning where are you going to take this? It’s like jazz, you know the story and yet it’s new if told by a virtuoso. Beautiful!

"Free" is the root of freedom.

Take that idea and run with it, commies. You can even "hire" me (for free, of course) to write some YouTube ad copy to bring that point home. I promise, it will be MUCH better than those lame ads of Kamala, Tim, Bernie, and Barack badgering people for "just 5 bucks" to "save our democracy" from the big, bad Orange Man.

No need to duplicate an already failing system.

Report the truth and the subscribers will pay.

If the free writer’s association takes money from our corrupt government, you can guarantee the writers will be subject to massive censorship , and pressure to toe the communist line…..

Don't look now, but A/I is gonna replace all media of any kind. It won't be pretty, but it will be controllable. As more and more sleeping humans are dragged into digital prison, all media will be controlled by gates and the global skunks.

As a self published author who has made no profit over the years I can relate to this humor.

Some writers insist on doing truth. Truth hits harder, goes farther when you weaponize it. Embed it in something attractive yet disguised. I’m going to places more dangerous than the DOD—the English Lit departments at Princeton and Yale. (Harvard has too many SUITS.) I’m flush after cashing in all my Bitcoin, Beanie Babies and S&H Green Stamps. So, I’ll endow a chair in “Satire, Parody, and Paradoxical Logic.” You’re welcome.

Atlas Shrugged comes to mind, only the spined, accomplished, and talented don't need some cloaked city to flee to anymore. Today, we just call it "quietly quitting". Socialist/Communist bags of water like the "FWI" deserve themselves.

Good idea, Jon! Why didn't I think of that?
