Low information voters are often too poor to pay for the paywall. News sources, paywall their most valuable and vetted information. So they get inferior information for free from dubious sources. And vote accordingly. Do I value journalists? 💯. Is the economics of information ruining democracy? Yes.

And like MA Bell, the duopoly goes to Congress to stoke fear and burn down the ladder so they don’t get competitors.

NFL observation week 1: Referees are quick to whistle defenses, or defenses are sucking more. Going to turn into unwatchable territory like the NBA if they don’t return to the mean.

Trump was never held accountable for trying to overturn the 2020 election. Thats is why he 100 percent will try to overturn the 2026 election when Democrats win Congress. The only question is Are Democratic leaders ready?!
