Hello!

Max Read
of Read Max and I will be doing a Substack Live every other Wednesday at 2 pm. The video will then be made available for paid subscribers.

This week, we discussed the political economy of Trumpian corruption, the class structure of the MAGA movement, the new “public health” model for regulating the Internet, lessons from the Progressive Era, and whether AI will spark a new wave of class consciousness.

Some things we talked about:

  • My newsletter from yesterday.

  • “Treat Big Tech Like Big Tobacco” by Joel Wertheimer for The Argument.
