   The sentiment and logic here is good but I think all employees have to agree otherwise wastes some time for those folks who do show up on time. My personal observation is the timing matters less than the number of participants. More people

   One of the reporters Matt Yglesias mentions as having done a decent job of reporting on covid-19 in the early days is Julia Belluz at Vox. My startup rates how informative news stories are and we found that Julia was among the top 10 report

   Your point is a good one but let me offer some tweaks that make paying for stuff not look as bleak. 1. Bundling multiple subscriptions is a long-time practice and if more services were paid offerings we'd likely all buy some bundle tha
