FYI, I'll be migrating from Substack to Ghost over the weekend. You'll still receive posts, and I'll continue to recommend you (Ghost allows recommendations from other platforms). I've had some tech problems with SS that I can;t resolve (partly because it's almost impossible to contact a real person, rather than an AI bot).

Overall I've been happy here, and the thought of moving and starting over again is more than I care to face. It's not 100%, there are some things I wish you could do - like offer or pay for single post reads, or perhaps a limited number, rather than a flat out monthly or yearly only subscription. I also wish that the floor for the subscriptions was lower.

Well, if it's not broken for you, the conventional wisdom is don't fix it. If you ever have a real problem, though, it's almost impossible to contact a real person (as opposed to an AI chat bot).

I'm fine with an AI chat bot if it gets the job done! I've had enough bad experiences talking to human beings on tech support lines to last me a lifetime! 🤣

Spent a week in Guyane decades ago and don’t recall much except that there were Vietnamese options for dining. I will comment, for what it’s worth, that it’s officially part of Metropolitan France, with full French citizenship and representation in Parliament.
