Re: Medicare..."with some seniors waiting for weeks..."🤣I've been waiting for a letter from the SS denying my request for reinstatement or accepting since last August. You have to call the local SS office because the kind folks at the nat'l are appalled at how long this has taken. I was just yesterday told that I had been reinstated in February & asked if I had received my card. #1 Throwing a new card in the mail isn't going to do it...no notification (I find out by calling [again, it's taking days to contact them]?!!!? 5 fucking months later? No explanation? I don't think "cause I got a new card" is going to pay the creditors on my doorstep.) They "reinstated" me to the wrong insurance coverage. Aaaaaaaaaa!!!!! I just don't even know what to do....
Olga - I received the above at 3pm June 24 (Sydney time). Following on from "Trump Tyranny Tracker day 153-154" your email went on to inform me that "Authoritarism 101, session 4 on Google Meet" was due on June 24 at 8pm. Next came notice of some sort of "Town Alert" on June 26 at 7pm with Julie from Salty and the Seneca Project. Next came a reminder that you and Zev are on air Mon thru Fri at 2pm with another podcast. Finally, after reading all the above for the 3rd time today, we finally come across what we wanted in the first place - TRUMP TYRANNY TRACKER! However, this Tracker was titled for June 21-22 - which is now 2 days out of date (including Sydney time). Moreover, this podcast has no mention of Trump's alleged peace deal with Israel and Iran. Furthermore, I have noticed that over the past few months Tracker has got shorter and shorter with less and less information. This reduction would appear to have coincided with the launch of your other podcast with Zev. Is that a figment of my imagination? I fully understand your need to market your products in order to maximise your amount of subscribers but you should also understand that from a subscribers point of view this marketing is becomming extremely tedious. The market place is litteraly saturated with podcasts. The following list of podcasts are basically ALL saying the same thing all day long! - Meidas, Seneca, Salty, Michael Cohen, JoJo from Jerz, Don Lemon, Jim Acosta, Bulwark, Glen Kirshner, Daily Beast, Katie Phang etc. etc. The only 2 podasts worth watching are your "Trump Tyranny Tracker" and "Uncovered" with Ron Filipkouski and Anthony Davis (along with Anthony's "5 Minute News" and "The Weekend Show". As you well know, there are dozens of other ones - all clamoring for the available market dollars and at the same time -"killing the goose that lays the golden egg"! To make maters worse, by usuing Substack, you are all subjecting your subscribers to Substack's "slick pushy marketing tactics", lack of customer service, ridiculously complicated cancellation policies and questionable credit card practices - just read all the current review on Trustpilot - a real eye opener.
Olga, I am trying to offer constructive commentary to one of my favorite podcasters - YOU. Please review my comments in the mannervthat they are meant.
