Today we're going to start with our usual financial fare, but then branch out into other important topics impacting society today, like the state of free speech, media bais and the role of government.I'm taking the license to do so because of our good fortune to be joined today by Matt Taibbi, one of the few remaining truly great independent journalists -- a rare breed these days.Many of you know Matt from his work at Rolling Stone where, among other great scoops, he chronicled the unfolding of the Great Financial Crisis, as well as the abuses that caused it, in a plain-language manner that the general public could finally understand.Or you may know him from his pioneering work on the Twitter Files, exposing the government-driven censorshop and narrative planting that had metastasized across the social media ecoystem during the COVID era.Or you may know him from his ongoing work on Substack at his Racket News channel, or from the many books he has authored.We are very lucky to have him join us today. #freespeech #socialism #westerncivilization _____________________________________________ Thoughtful Money LLC is a Registered Investment Advisor Promoter.We produce educational content geared for the individual investor.
