Readers: Water Cooler is an independent business and is not part of the annual NC fundraiser. The material here is Lambert’s and does not represent the views of the Naked Capitalism site. If you find a link you particularly like or an item you can’t find anywhere else, don’t be afraid to express your gratitude in a tangible way. Remember, the tip jar is for tipping. Receiving regular positive feedback will make you feel good and let you know that your coverage is moving in the right direction. I get worried if I don’t receive any donations for 3 or 4 days. More specifically, small, ongoing donations help cover our expenses, so I take small donations into account when setting fundraising goals.
The screen that appears is as follows. I have added annotations for your reference.
