Crowdfunding for David Tuller during April 2026

I think the economic problems really are starting to bite hard across the board.

Can't just disrupt critical and finely balanced energy and trading systems to that degree, that quickly, in such an arbitrary and chaotic manner, without serious and sustained consequences. Plus some longer term consequences of the Covid pandemic are probably starting to add up too.

How bad it will get, and for how long, remains to be seen. But the current level of disruption and increased costs is probably locked in for at least several months.
 
Thank you David!

I think social media has changed a lot. It’s very scattered and doesn't have the same reach anymore, so it's less likely people hear the news about a crowdfunding going on. Maybe that could explain some of the slower pace.

I think we're at a low point right now, too. The wave of hope from LC advocacy has collapsed and there doesn't seem to be anything good on the horizon. After years of being vindicated at every turn and seeing it make zero difference, there's a rational morale collapse happening.

I don't see any push for funding overall, not even for research. The community isn't raising any money because there's nowhere to use it. There's very low trust in institutions to use it competently, seeing how about $2B in funding has amounted to absolutely nothing. Well, other than in vindicating everything we've said all along, but seeing it make no difference at all is just too depressing.

I'd say that in terms of social media advocacy and awareness, I've never seen morale and motivation be any lower. There's only a point to fight when it amounts to something, but it's clearly all too easy for the institutions of public health and medicine to just swat it all away. Even as they pay low-effort lip-service to the problem while having zero interest in actually solving it, as the BMA recently did.
 
A lower response isn't likely about this campaign specifically. Or marketing.

Many people will be just surviving or only able to give to survival funds for people under occupation and attack by the US and US funded entities.

But for all those people who also do expect to be able to give something to keep going work related to this illness, direct contact is probably helpful. Far fewer people are on social media.

Emailing from your own account a couple more times before close of the campaign would be a good idea because the university emails are relentless and many people will probably have turned out or unsubscribed by now.
