The State of TAE Fall 2024

[zerosum]

I’m appreciative of what you do.
I remember how bad was the economy of the ’70’s.
Now, It’s getting worst.
So is my health. I’m okay, no pain.

Finding “NEWS” and pasting for everyone is what I can still do.

Peace

I hate PayPal and Patreon with near equal fervor. Is there a way to just mail you a check? Post a name to make the check payable to, and an address (P.O. Box, Mail Drop, offshore shell corporation, whatever) and I’ll send you some money.

Just post it here or add it the TAE banner and I’ll work on how much I can persuade my wife Ruey to agree to. She likes you too, so it shouldn’t be too difficult and if she’s in an especially good mood (which I will be on the lookout for) it might even be worth your trouble. Cash it quick, though, because I’m not sure how long my bank, or the US Dollar, are going to be around.

DBS et al. the address for Checks and Money Orders has been up forever under “Store and Donations” in the menu (where else can you put it?):

How about Venmo?

How can you overlook the obvious?

I closed my Paypal account and I will never go back. Patreon is a scam that overcharges and promotes paywalls. Both of these are vulnerable to censorship. So is your checking account, as the Canadian truckers learned.

Unfortunately there is a risk that this site will be shut down if the censorship party wins the next election. It won’t just be centralized platforms like X and Facebook. Any site reposting from RT or any disfavored sources will be targeted. And any site that has a .com domain can be targeted. That is why Strategic Culture is now forced to publish from the .su domain — it’s one that the West cannot control.

All this means that TAE may be forced to a different platform, a censorship-resistant platform that uses a protocol like nostr.

Thank you Raul for everything you do. Here’s my $100 since PayPal won’t take potatoes.

[Dr. D]

That is the address, is the line on the check also to be cashed by Jarvis? Or is it made out to “Automatic Earth”, DBA?

[oxymoron]

Raul. I’ll work out a way to pay like 50 dollars Australian with what you have provided (not PayPal) but for gods sake the ‘buy me a coffee’ on Substack is sooooo easy and so good damn successful for even basic writers. I’m ashamed to say I’ve given far more to writers there than TAE because I can do it easily even though I owe you far more.

Done, Brother-in-Arms.

I am banned from PayPal from the first time I tried it. Patreon is a scam.

I have heard from family members (Switz.) that REVOLUT is good.

I have also sent checks / cash in the past.

An IBAN bank coordinate would help, that is direct payments from bank to bank, e.g. from Al Smith at bank XYZ in country X, to Joe at bank ABC in country W, etc. This is the way we make individual payments in CH to outside CH, either via the internet or by ‘automatic banking’.
