I spend a lot of my life writing economic analysis for far-below market rates, and doing a radio show that takes a full workday to put together every week for free. That's my political work, and I do a lot of it. And I'm not really interested in becoming a shill for any political party. It would compromise my credibility and risk destroying my brain.
