Jared Moore reads the first three headlines: Railroad Strike Averted, DeSantis, Martha’s Vineyard, Play Migrant Dodgeball, and New Financial Product Allows Ordinary Citizens to Mimic Insider Trades of Congress.
I knew from the first episode that these conversations will be one of the highlights of my weekends. Matt has such a broad range of knowledge and so many granular details of events and history and Walter (the only way I can describe it) paints vivid images with words. Between Matt's prep and incisive dissection and Walter's spot on emotional and societal reading of events, they really deliver worthwhile content. My only concern is that something derails the project before it becomes an institution (I am not ruling out gulags at this point). Thanks both for the efforts and sacrifices that were necessary to bring this about!

This article shows Martha's Vineyard's reaction in a more positive light. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/09/16/marthas-vineyard-migrants-desantis/?utm_campaign=wp_week_in_ideas&utm_medium=email&utm_source=newsletter&wpisrc=nl_ideas&carta-url=https%3A%2F%2Fs2.washingtonpost.com%2Fcar-ln-tr%2F37f0fe5%2F6326fa8ff3d9003c58dfd88c%2F5972830bae7e8a1cf4aa2cc2%2F19%2F75%2F6326fa8ff3d9003c58dfd88c&wp_cu=f6c3a4202fb4ebcd93923882445e93cf%7CC0D62B04D1D733AEE0430100007F728B
