Announcing Nancy T’s “Double Your Donation” Challenge!

A long-standing and loyal reader, Nancy T, has issued a new challenge for this fundraiser. She will match the next 60 donations of $100 (and multiples of $100) up to the match total. Make her exciting offer a hearty success by visiting our donation page now! As Nancy explained in her e-mail offering to fund a “Double Your Donation” challenge: I am in awe at the erudition of those who comment and usually have nothing to add beyond their searing analysis. Thank you deeply for establishing and maintaining this oasis of sanity in a world seemingly gone mad. And in the same spirit, readers continue to send encouraging notes. We thought we’d share some. From Camelotkidd: Naked Capitalism is a treasure, where I first was exposed to the amazing heterodox economist Michael Hudson’s ideas. A rare alternative media site that challenges its readers to think critically, without becoming an ideological silo of groupthink. Yves is relentless in holding the commentariat honest following James Baldwin’s admonishment–“The truth is a two- edged sword, and if one is not willing to be pierced by the sword, even to the extreme of dying on it, then all of one’s intellectual activity is a masturbatory delusion and a wicked and dangerous fraud.” Please support NC because I don’t know what we would do without it. From Mike N: I put a check in the mail for $250 which should get to NY by the weekend. Naked Capitalism has been a part of my daily reading for a long time, and I’m better educated because of it. Thanks for all that you and your team does. And Richard I: Thanks again to the entire team to help provide actual real news and information about what’s going on in the world. We are also humbled by readers who’ve stretched to support this community. From Mark B: On the way $10 You don’t want to know what I live on You can make your contribution here, via check, debit or credit card, or PayPal, Clover, or Wise. If you give by check (we very much like checks!), please let us know by e-mailing us at yves@nakedcapitalism.com with “Nancy T Double” in the subject line. Thanks our munificent benefactor for her generosity, and I hope readers will respond in kind. And if $100 is a lot for you, don’t let that prevent you from making a donation if you’ve been planning to but haven’t had time yet. Every contribution helps us meet our goals. And the other important way to help is by telling others about our work, whether in person to friends, family, and colleagues, or in social media like Facebook and Twitter. So I hope you’ll take her up on her fundraiser challenge in whatever way you can! Dear Yves & Co: My donation goes in the mail today. Thank you Nancy T! Leftist Mole Done! $200 via PayPal. Thank you Nancy T! I know these appeals are framed as “funding to keep the lights on” but that’s not the way I see it… I see it as making a contribution to a fight that’s bigger than me – but doing nothing is not an option! By allowing the light to shine through the darkness, NC is a beacon of sanity in an increasingly crazy world. I want that beacon to shine for me and for others. The thought of not having somewhere like NC to balance/dispel/debunk the disinformation and propaganda from, what seems to be, every mainstream outlet is abhorrent to me. So my donation is my way of maintaining a valuable source of untainted information. Yves, the team at NC, the contributors and the commentariat are a true sign that not everyone has lost their minds – and that is of great comfort to me :-) 400$ via Paypal. Would’ve liked to double it like I did the last few years. Perhaps I’ll manage to do it next time. I missed the first double-your-donation, so thanks to Nancy T. for giving me and others a second chance. All of the eloquent praise for NC is impressive, but, for me, superfluous. I depend on the daily posts and the remarkable and varied comments to consistently remind me of my ignorance and enlarge my view of the world. I just hit the handy PayPal button. My contribution goes with great thanks to All. Inspired by Nancy T’s doubling, I have doubled my own donation from past years. I’ve nothing to add to what everyone else has said. You guys are an indispensable refuge of sanity. $100 on its way. Modestly profitable in fantasy baseball this year, so happy to share. Thank you Yves and crew (and Nancy T!). Sent my donation shortly after this was announced. And my thoughts this year: naked capitalism has once again exceeded expectations and reason. When I started reading 18 years ago during the financial meltdown, I never would have expected the same blog to provide the most informative war coverage for the latest war in the Persian Gulf area. Many thanks to all the conteibuters, and especially Yves for her unparalleled editorial direction. 50$ COMING YALLS WAY. PLEASE HELP WE THE PEOPLE START A NEW PARTY USING ECONOMIC POPULISM FOR AMERICAS 250TH BIRTHDAY. PLEASE HIGHLIGHT AMERICAN REVOLUTIONARIES ON THE GROUND WHO OFFER ALTERNATIVES TO THE EPSTEIN CLASS. SHARE THE WEALTH! EVERY MAN A KING. NONE SHALL BE TOO RICH. NONE SHALL BE TOO POOR. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hphgHi6FD8k
