Popular Information - Passing the mic
There is a lot of coverage of inflation in the media. Why do you seldom hear about the relationship between price increases and corporate profits? Well, many media outlets rely on advertising from the same corporations that are increasing prices. Popular Information, on the other hand, accepts no advertising. That gives us the freedom to provide you with the unvarnished truth. You can support our independent accountability journalism — and help us do more of it — with a paid subscription. To stay completely independent, Popular Information accepts no advertising. This newsletter only exists because of the support of readers like you. So far this month, Popular Information exposed the inner workings of Charles Koch's non-profit network (prompting an avalanche of attacks from Koch-funded entities), revealed that the consulting firm that assisted Amazon's union-busting efforts still has many pro-union clients (prompting one major client, MoveOn, to immediately cut ties), and documented the brazen corruption of Jared Kushner. Today, however, I want to hear from you. What's on your mind? What topics would you like to see Popular Information take on in the weeks ahead? You can leave your thoughts in the discussion thread linked below, starting now. I’ll be dropping later today to answer as many of your questions as I can.
