My politics-based news consumption over the past few months has been you, Josh Citarella/Doomscroll, Ezra Klein (sorry! And I'm still checking back to see if you reply to that constructive comment), and More Perfect Union. It's not a crazy-diverse pool, but it's information that I find highly relevant right now. I look forward to the new content, and I appreciate the ability to pivot and focus on the econ side because it all seems entangled.

A couple of thoughts:

1. You mentioned that Trump won't be concerned about the midterms in a passing transition. Can we hope for more details on this in the future? I have some personal political revolution ambitions, and I worry that it will all be for nothing if something happens with the midterms.

2. Do you happen to have any knowledge of the Gamestop stock story from a few years ago? Is there any valid speculation to say that the "L-shaped recession" has anything to do with the shorts/dark pool money/after-hours trading?

Also, does my $5 a month not make a big dent for the upfront cost of the Hungarian paywall financial crystal ball website?!
