Your efforts are much appreciated

My friends, there's no midterm salvation coming. It's delusional to believe we can elect our way out of this.

I can't get over this number: in 2007, there were 360,000 newspaper jobs. Now, there are 80,000. "My local paper sucked!" Sure. What sucks even more? The void. "I get all my news from the Guardian!" No, the Guardian doesn't report on your town council, your school board, local cops.
