Ultimately, this site is about solutions.
I want to take a moment to thank every reader who took the time to email me after spotting oftwominds.com on the Washington Post's absurd "list of Russian propaganda sites." You all got the joke, so to speak, and so we enjoyed the laughably bogus list together.
I also want to thank everyone who chose this moment to become a patron of my work via patreon.com or PayPal. Dozens of you backed up your support with cash--moving your commitment to independent journalism up a very big notch.
Every $1/month pledge means a lot to me. Money is tight for most people nowadays, and $1 or $5 per month means there is a bit less disposable cash at month's end. I am acutely aware that your commitment is not cost-free.
While I understand the necessity and appeal of year-end fundraising by many of my fellow bloggers, I don't have any formal fundraising effort or drive. The site is free, and patrons/ contributors of $5/month or more receive a weekly Musings Report filled with goodies reserved for the Inner Circle of oftwominds supporters.
This is my way of thanking the financial supporters who keep the site going.
I also appreciate everyone who takes a moment to place their amazon.com order through this site. The modest commission paid to this site doesn't add a penny to your cost. To place your order to the benefit of oftwominds.com, just use the amazon.com search box in the right sidebar.
Max Keiser and Stacy Herbert asked for my reaction to being on the WaPo propaganda list; here is my commentary (also included in Max and Stacy's 1000th episode Keiser Report #1000: The Memewar Has Started.)
Ultimately, this site is about solutions. I have written numerous books outlining solutions for the individual/household and for the society/economy as a whole. Please take a quick glance at my eleven books on our systemic problems and the many potential solutions.

For what it's worth, my copy editor reckons Inequality and the Collapse of Privilege($3.95 Kindle ebook, $8.95 print edition) is my best book. It is, if nothing else, highly relevant to today's economic/social schisms.
