For Paid Subscribers Only: Bad takes

This post is for paid subscribers. You will receive the full post if you choose to become a paid subscriber to the Transportist Newsletter. The free Monthly Edition will remain, I am targeting this to be on Tuesdays (Australia time) in the interim weeks. I suspect it will be more bloggy, but really who knows. My hope is if enough of you subscribe, I will be more motivated to write. And if writing has a deadline, more writing will occur.

My related hope is that if you do subscribe, you will value this more than if it is free, and be more likely to read it. Thus by charging, I am increasing total value (assuming what I write is more valuable than if you were to give your attention elsewhere). Note: I don’t expect to become rich, or give up my day job.

Bad Takes
