Revenue rebounded in a major way this month. Thank you to all the great contributors and zappers for making this territory a going concern. As I mentioned to @denlillaapan, our long-term goal is to eventually buy the very failed The Economist and return it to glory. So, let's keep the success rolling.

Some stats:

~econ was 2nd to ~bitcoin in revenue this month (and they only beat us by a paltry half million sats)
We were 5th in posts (296) and 4th in comments (1564)
132k sats were stacked in ~econ (4th place)

Some graphs (thanks to @SimpleStacker):

Posting fee optimization

The next stop on our search for the optimal post fee is 94 sats.

Contest update:

I'll probably make a dedicated post for the 1st quarter awards late today, but I made a couple of decisions recently about how I want to do this.

Since I pay territory rent annually, I won't know how much profits are available for prizes until the end of the year. So, I'll announce the winners each quarter, but pay out the prizes at the end of the year.

I've decided to split the prize evenly amongst three categories: Best Post of the Year, Posts of the Quarter, and Posts of the Month. I'm thinking that we can use zaprank for the monthly top posts and then have a poll select the "Post of the Quarter" from amongst those and then an end of year poll to select the "Post of the Year" from the "Posts of the Quarter".

Thanks. I've really enjoyed those glimpses into the construction industry. My mom worked in construction my whole life, until she retired.

The Economist is a failed magazine. Very failed. Total disaster. But don't worry, @Undisciplined and @denlillaapan are gonna take it over, fix it up, and make the Economist great again. It's gonna be glorious, and people are not even gonna remember how failed it was, and they're gonna say, "What? This magazine almost failed?" But let me tell you, it's gonna be so tremendous, like no magazine you've ever seen before.

China has won the trade war. This and its consequences is not being covered sufficiently in this territory.

Trump has threatened to block trade with all nations buying Russia oil if Putin does not agree to end his invasion of Ukraine...Trumps threat is effectively saying he would block trade with China if the Chinese backed invasion of Ukraine does not stop.

This is getting close to a declaration of war on China. A declaration China knows Trump cannot afford to make.

This has massive implications for the economy of not just USA but of the world and ensues from the fact that China has won the trade war and Trump is fighting to damage control the consequences- namely the decline of US hegemony and the rise of China. Libertarians and US exceptionalists seem blind to what is happening.
