According to my social media feeds, today is apparently Giving Tuesday – that one day per year where people give to causes, charities, and hopefully obscure local social "blogs" in an effort to feel good about themselves.
Even though The Lost Ogle is not a charity or non-profit in a technical sense, it sure does feels like we operate as one. This is because...
A) We lost 95% of our bar trivia and bingo revenue when the pandemic started back in March and have no clue when or if it will come back. This line of our business accounted for more than half of our total revenue, so I'll let you do the math on that.
B) We're not backed by rich, power-hungry oligarchs in the Oklahoma ruling class, and their charitable foundations or institutions, so we have less money to work with than all those other non-profit media outlets that beg you for donations each month.
Anyway, if you're in the giving mood today, we'd love it if you'd become a Lost Ogle Member. Here are five reasons why you should.
