Welcome to You’re Probably Getting Screwed, a weekly newsletter and video series from J.D. Scholten and Justin Stofferahn about the Second Gilded Age and the ways economic concentration is putting politics and profits over working people.
Good Jobs First is a pioneering corporate watchdog. The organization has done amazing work over the years exposing the ways in which state and local governments funnel taxpayer money to the biggest corporations.
I was honored to interview Arlene Martínez - Deputy Executive Director and Communications Director at Good Jobs First - this week. We talked about how billionaires like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos would not have the immense power and wealth they have without taxpayer subsidies, data center boondoggles, broken economic development policies, and what everyday people can do to fight back against this waste!
You can find Good Jobs First website here. I would particularly recommend checking out the following key resources:
Shutting Down Data Center Subsidies
SOCIAL MEDIA
Be sure to follow us on YouTube and Instagram!
BEFORE YOU GO
First, I want to apologize for any confusion our last newsletter headline caused. Medicare is obviously a critical program both for readers of this newsletter and millions of other Americans, which is why we spotlighted the harm Medicare Advantage is causing.
Second, I need two things from you: 1) if you like something, please share it on social media or the next time you have coffee with a friend. 2) Ideas, if you have any ideas for future newsletter content please comment below. Thank you.
Break Em Up,
Justin Stofferahn
