Am I Helping or Hindering the Cause?

 

August 16, 2025

 

I took an early morning walk on a weekend, and I noticed that, in all the subdivisions I walked through, there was a total of four houses (including mine) that had newspapers.

 

“Wow,” I thought. “No wonder they keep pushing the online version. They’ve gotta pay somebody to deliver these 4 papers—is it worth anybody’s while?”

 

So, I feel like I’m kind of dragging them down financially by my insistence on having a real paper. 

 

But if I didn’t get the hard copy, I’d never read the news; I’m not much of one for computers. 

 

So, I wouldn’t be paying for a subscription, which would be bad for the paper; and I wouldn’t be getting any decent news, which would be bad for me.

 

So, until they stop the service entirely, I guess I’ll keep getting the paper delivered. 

 

Sorry, newspaper people.
