About

The People Speak community shares great opinions and observations from other writers, bloggers, and contributors about politics, economics, social issues, big tech, free markets, international communities, and more. We want to curate and share the best writing we discover on the internet.

I’ve created The People Speak community so that people like you can engage with our content and conversations with respect, thoughtfulness, and curiosity. By making this community subscriber exclusive, we are asking for you to have a little skin in the game. That will keep away lookie loos and dilettantes and keep the level of discourse here at a high standard. You can post your own memes as long as they are about love, kindness, compassion, and care. No pornography.

With that in mind though, this is my community and just as I wouldn’t invite just anyone into my home, I don’t want just anyone in here either. Building a truly impactful community is gonna take a little maturation on our part. So we’ll have a simple few guidelines.

Try to keep conversation respectful, without personal attacks.

Don’t endlessly blow up other members’ feeds. If someone isn’t responding to you, let it be.

We strongly encourage real names associated with the accounts. Let’s build a real community of real people here. I’ve made friends and business connections with many of you, but I’ve yet to meet a frog with Trump hair in real life!

Don’t post pornography, graphic images, or anything like that. We’ll use the “I’ll know it when I see it” policy.

If you are here just to wreck the place or bring chaos, we’ll delete your account. We are trying to clean up the conversation. You’ll get a warning or two but that’s it.

I don’t stand by or endorse everything said here. Possibly even some of the things I say!

Post things that aren’t purely political! Food, family, sports. Let’s make this a real community outside of the political minutia.

Bring your new ideas to the table. Don’t just respond to my posts, post some of your own thoughts and ideas, too!

Know our system isn’t perfect and isn’t for everyone, and that we’ll evolve with you.

Most importantly, have fun.
