G'day all, brief update as promised.Firstly - results of the charity poll are now locked, thank you for your participation. Given the split and number of votes I've decided the best approach is to split contributions proportionally across the causes in the remaining months of the year. I'll keep you updated on that. So far I've resisted promoting specific charities on the channel despite the immense importance they have precisely because I get requests to do so roughly once a week and feel it would be impossible to fairly 'pick winners' in that respect. If you have any thoughts on this though, let me know, as I'm aware other channels have had success fund-raising for good causes.
I also need to flag I have travel planned again in October and again later in the year- and not just for a few days this time. I don't expect those trips to impact the release schedule, but they may provide opportunities for some slightly different defence economics content if you're interested - I'll announce further details and seek feedback shortly.Finally - my Patreon message backlog is immense at this point, so I will be making an attempt to work through that this week and then try to stay more up to date. I really value the support you all provide, and want to reflect that with the speed at which I respond here.All the best, and thank you again for your ongoing support.
