I’m already a paid subscriber to A Lily Bit, as I am to quite a few other Substacks, but I feel that this one is so well worth additional support. If Lily can go above and beyond in her research, reporting and writing then as I can still afford to (before The Great Taking kicks in) it seems that I should go above and beyond in my contribution. I would encourage all others who are in the position to be able

to follow suit to do so and help Lily continue to produce such valuable output that benefits all of us whether we can afford to subscribe or not.

Dear Trevor, thank you so much for your continued and generous support. I am truly grateful for your most recent donation, which is more than I could have ever asked for, as well as for your ongoing subscription over the past two years. It means a great deal to me to have such an active and dedicated subscriber.

I am happy to hear that you find my research, reporting, and writing to be well worth additional support. I am committed to providing valuable output that benefits all of my readers, whether they are able to subscribe or not. Your contribution will defintely help me to continue producing high-quality content that I hope will be of value to you and to others.

Thank you again for your support. I truly appreciate it.

You hate asking for support because you are a good person who has empathy for others. I hate having to deny you MY financial support because I'm scrounging myself, and I just got a notice that my property taxes are going up yet again and I'm retiring, well, pretty much now because I hate my job, I can't take it anymore, and because I can.

Not comfortably, but I can.

You are one of the good ones on Substack. If I ever make enough, I'll be glad to become a paid subscriber of yours.

No pressure. I understand that asking for money during these times is sensitive, and many people simply can't afford it right now. I value my readers whether they are in a position to give back or not. Thank you for reading my Substack. That’s a contribution as well. And I do hope there are brighter days ahead for you.

Your words should be written in 7 metre high capitals and displayed in every city centre on earth LILY. People are waking up and that is because of the critical work of people like you. God bless your tenacity lovely lady.

Supporting your work is some of the best money I spend. Thanks.

With every post you write, including this one, I feel inside that I get more value from the money I spend subscribing to you than for any other expenditure. Thank you. Also, the process you describe is built into the new new democratic solution process that replaces yes/no voting in a Collaborative Democracy. That's why it's so powerful.
