Let me just give you my visceral response: If one is doing ok -- not having your neck crushed under the knee of a cop or starving -- then I have the expectation that a person persuade on the basis on what is good for everyone, not what is good for them. I don't care how they make money. That is their problem. I did fine under Bush, Obama, and even Trump. I'm a lucky one. It would never occur to me to use minor trends up or down in my income for a reason why someone should run the most powerful democracy in the world. I find it petty and appalling that people do think of making this connection. Yes, I would cancel them if I had subscribed to them, but I never did subscribe to them.
