Joshua Dean, one of the first whistleblowers to allege Spirit AeroSystems execs had ignored manufacturing defects on the 737 MAX, died after a sudden illness.
If you only want to consume news that someone with a bunch of spare money is willing to pay to have you hear, you’re embarking on a process that eventually leads to you and lots of other people not really knowing what’s going on.

Few people have the money or wherewithal to subscribe to every small town newspaper in the country, much less the world, just so they can read articles you post. And getting bent out of shape at people trying to live their lives as informed as possible without being squeezed dry of every penny they have is ludicrous.
What kind of gift card? They seem to accept some “promo code”, but if that’s coming from a gift card specific to this site, no one will be able to use that.
If you really feel like the Seattle Times knowing your real name is a catastrophe, you can buy one of those Vanilla Visa gift cards and use that for the subscription. I think that’s not necessary, but it’s certainly an option.
Have fun having all your (and everyone else’s) media supplied by the Koch Brothers because you didn’t feel like finding someone worth paying $7/month to
You would describe the current state of the US, and the way the majority of the people in it view the world and how they understand what’s going on and what they should do (about climate change, about politics and who to support), to be no problem?

Consuming all media this way is burdensome and ridiculous.

I’ve been having no problem avoiding them for free for decades. Making petty threats just makes you sound unreasonable.
