With such great ideas, I can’t understand why they need anything or anyone else, besides The Marketplace, to prop them up.
I suppose their response would be that they have no other choice than to accept altruistic subsidies. If it weren’t for those meddling bureaucrats &/or woke-types*, they wouldn’t need to be propped up, and a free & unfettered Reason magazine would be self-sufficient.
*Presumably so strong &/or nefarious that not even superior intellect can overcome their barriers
