So, I'll start by saying that I'm pretty blessed with a well-paying job and a partner that has an even better-paying job, so I recognize that I'm pretty privileged as far as things go. With that said:

I remember high school econ, where I learned about "dollar votes," i.e., in functioning capitalism, the economy's priorities can be influenced by everyone's "votes," or what they choose to spend money on. I'm happy and proud that I get to vote for you, and Defector, and Discourse Blog, and other independent journalism. Thanks for sticking on the labor beat, and congratulations on being almost-sustainable despite not limiting your articles.

Here's to another successful 18 months!

"Labor does not get a lot of traffic. Almost all of the most popular things I write here are about non-labor topics."

FWIW, the labor posts are the ones I read most closely and forward most often to my wife, son, and a friend. They change my thinking, improve my arguments.
