Being a mere journalist, for me there’s an ethical problem with no ID. It also obscures crucial context. As you know, I like your stuff and it was interesting to hear your voice. Your pieces basically tell me what I already know but you have tons of energy (is it the single malt?) and you’re excellent at citing statistics and appear to have a working knowledge of economics so eminently quotable, assuming your numbers are right and that’s easily checked. A bit arrogant but respect for hitting proverbial nail on head more often than not. You worked for Bush, though? WTF? Inquiring minds…
And I hope you’ll share more “controversial” information. I’m a journalist and marketing is death to us - unfortunately necessary but still against my nature.
FWIW… Kristina and others I have contributed to know my identity. As for my own Substack… people judge the content alone. Was I POTUS? No. Was I a cabinet official. No. lol. But obviously I was someone in the room, saw the discussions, and can talk intelligently about the topics. That’s apparently what matters. If I were to write for you … you’d know my identity. I believe that level of transparency is necessary (as you do). But readers don’t care.
