Paper Prices, Perverse Incentives Of The Liberal Agenda Both On The Rise
Paper prices are on the rise and at least one magazine believes the nefarious liberal agenda is to blame.
Paper companies have been upping the cost of supplies across the board with magazine-grade stocks like coated freesheet, coated groundwood and supercalendered becoming more expensive as supply no longer exceeds demand for paper in the magazine industry. Folio: even provides a handy chart of paper prices, for those interested in seeing how costs have changed.
So what does that have to do with politics? According to conservative publication The American Spectator, everything. In a letter to 60,000 email subscribers, publisher Alfred S. Regnery asks for donations to offset the higher cost of paper brought about, somehow, by “the perverse incentives of the liberal agenda.”
