I wasn’t aware that they’re now a nonprofit. What do they spend money on?
Do a thing because it’s the right thing to do. Or don’t. But using -isms to justify a controversial position makes my teeth hurt.

I admit that I have all alerts deactivated for the simple reason that our local agencies can’t seem to use SAME codes and I get tired of waking in the middle of the night for a thunderstorm three counties over.
If only he had found religion instead of founding a for-profit, he’d be riding high and no one would care.
Who’s destroying Xitter, though?
Oh, I don’t actually think it’s objectively likely that they’ll take action against Israel. I just think it’s more likely than expecting action from the US or UK
I wish them luck. The EU is much more likely than anyone else outside the Muslim world to hold Israel accountable for war crimes.
Which sticks will they use to be sure that this funding actually develops charging stations rather than lining CEOs’ and bureaucrats’ pockets?
Same here
Also, don't forget that many younger people don't read books that much, simply because they consume different media.
Good point.
Isn’t Germany still part of the EU?
This looks like there’s a rough inverse correlation between average temperature or hours of daylight and number of books read.
To answer the question, I very much prefer fountain pens. They're much more economical in the long run, they write smoother and are less prone to clogging, and the different inks are just fun.
To the point about carbons: Not many situations require carbon copies these days. For those that do, you can usually pick up a vintage (not a modern) Esterbrook for a reasonable price and replace the nib. Esterbrook had a couple dozen different nibs, some specifically hardened for writing carbon copies. They're also fairly easy to find.
There may be some modern pens that are good for writing carbons. Check Goulet Pens or some of the other online sellers.
NB: If you go for an Esterbrook, definitely look for the antiques. They may require a bit of maintenance, but they still write beautifully. The modern ones are made by some outfit that purchased the company name for overpriced branding, but they have no connection to the originals.
