Today is Friday. People rest or go out; I work because it helps me forget the cold and hunger. I'm also working on a very important article that I'd like to finish as soon as possible and share with you what I discovered. Electricity prices continue to rise. Everything is very expensive. I try to avoid spending. Maybe I should just stop breathing... Nonetheless I received another blow to the head from humanity, which I assist every day.
How long can I take it? Fourth year alone vs. the system.
What happened? One of my paid Substack subscribers claimed that he did not receive the product, which means he was unable to read the articles or comment on them. Instead of asking me about it, he went to the bank. He wants his $8 returned. I checked him on Substack and can see that he receives and opens emails. So there's no reason to complain. Unsubscribing is a simple process. Why go through the bank, which means I'll have to spend hours figuring out what's happening?! I could of course dispute, as I did, but it will cost me $15 regardless of the outcome.
Stripe and Substack both charge for every transaction. I receive only a portion of the money. Stripe also serves as the primary transfer provider for WordPress. There is no choice. Monopoly enables the poor to stay poor. $15 is a large sum of money for me. My food for the week, but I can go hungry...I can eat every few days. …. I'm sharing this story because I hope it doesn't happen again. If you have any issues, please contact me directly. It's easy. Send me an email directly angelovalidiya@genuineprospect.com . Don't do that. Be a decent human! I am absolutely devastated.
I’m in a similar situation as you. I only have 2 paid subscribers. Substack isn’t a good source of income. People everywhere are struggling. I have a business providing telemedicine, cannabis certification evaluations and also do disability exams to try to make ends meet. I’ve lost my property and vehicle. It’s difficult to start all over again . A lot of supermarkets donate food to churches that have food kitchens. You should check out what’s available near you. Praying for you.

I can't believe what I am reading. It's unbelievable that such an intelligent physician can be in this position. What country are you in?
