This is my first post that’s only for paid subscribers. There’s no free rider problem here. This is a private good, not a public one. I just hope you think it’s good in the first place. If you don’t, we can all take solace in the impending three-day weekend–one that celebrates equality and progress. Let’s begin.

Wednesday
