Well, if you're going to give it away...

I noted recently that I cancelled my Washington Post subscription, in an attempt to punish Bezos for sucking up to Trump, including by a noticeable increase in "well, maybe Trump isn't all that bad" columns in the paper.

I knew that this would likely prompt "please come back, at a discount price!" offers, but I wasn't quite prepared for how low they would eventually go.

This low:   99 cents (Australian) a month for a year, then increasing to $9 a month.  Cancel anytime.

Well, significantly decreasing the amount of money I'm paying to next to nothing might be punishment enough for now.  I re-subscribed...

Seems like I should try the same exercise at the NYT now!
