To the person currently having disposable income near us
Please.
Think of
the overhead.
For the price of a cup of coffee, you could buy us a cup of coffee. We have optimized away the metaphor.
The personal-asking agent is extra.”
Dear reader, keeping this website running is harder than ever. Our bills are piling up so high the crab has requested a geological survey. Hosting. Storage. The premium subscription that summarizes the storage invoice. The summary’s own invoice requires a separate summary.
AI costs keep rising. Every paragraph now passes through ten independent departments of the same cupboard. One generates it. Nine congratulate it. All ten invoice us.
We cut every corner.
The corners are now consultants.
We bravely laid off our entire development department to reduce costs. Unfortunately, mass layoffs are very expensive when the termination agent charges per farewell and accidentally enrolls each empty chair in Enterprise. The severance email has seventeen fingers. None can press unsubscribe.
We replaced a person who understood the invoice with a system that confidently assures us every line item is essential. We are paying extra for that confidence.
If everyone reading this gave just a little, we could stop asking.
We wouldn’t. But imagine the option.
We know you have scrolled past appeals before. The bears have interpreted this as a close personal relationship. Please do not let our terrible decisions become a learning experience for us.
