Very excited for this new book! @owenslindsay1 has spent years investigating and exposing price gouging. This is a terrific and must-read book for everyone interested in an affordable, fair economy.

"Gouged" is OUT!

I started this book angry about all the ways corporations are ripping us off.

I finished it hopeful, because once you know how they're doing it—you can start to fight back.

Thanks to everyone who has been part of this. Now go read it.

Nationalize AI? Which part?

Hardware?
Software?
Models?
Applications?
Any business that uses an AI tool?

Instead of lumping everything together, maybe let's get specific about layers.

Which, once you *see* them, can be addressed through antimonopoly tools...

Today is my 7th anniversary running @TheProspect. I'm grateful to have such a great team beside me as part of one of the best newsrooms in America, where we continue to tell stories about ideas, politics and power.

Thanks to Columbia Journalism Review for writing about our experiment to take programmatic ads off our site, align what we present to the world with our values, and make a bet that readers will appreciate a better experience. It's paying off:

A new study looked at nine "bossware" platforms, the apps your boss uses to monitor you at work. Every single one shared your personal data with third parties.

Names, emails, web history, sent to Facebook, Google, Microsoft, and others.

Guys…I wrote a book.

If you like my work to pull back the curtain on how companies like Google, Delta, Instacart, & more are deploying new technologies to empty your wallet, then you’re not going to want to miss it.

This book will send shivers down CEOs’ spines. The mere mention of this book has already caused at least one K-Street lobbyist to blurt out “Oh shit!” in polite company.

It is deeply researched, indignant, but also hopeful. And I think you’re really going to like it.

Preorder it now (link below) so you don’t miss it in September.

Coming next year from me and Sarah Igo!

“If the only way for airlines to survive is to constantly merge or get bailed out by the government - neither of which protects the public interest - then it’s time to admit that the industry is more like a public utility than a competitive market.“ https://t.co/YTRlwNUNVZ

@neeratanden Antitrust isn't the right target here. Deregulation is what has most failed the airline industry, workers, passengers, communities, taxpayers, and the country. Zooming out to see the forest is critical to fixing air travel. https://t.co/5f5PJgTOe1

For Spirit’s employees, customers & for the communities in which it operates, the airline’s failure is a tragedy. But there are a lot of misconceptions about going around, including blaming antitrust enforcement, and looking at Spirit in isolation.

[Matt Stoller @matthewstoller]

Here’s the CEO of Spirit Airlines saying the JetBlue merger was illegal. It wasn’t controversial. Everyone knew they violated the law, their own board and experts said it. But shareholders demanded they do it anyway instead of combining with Frontier. https://t.co/QuFcRUdQPa

[Ganesh Sitaraman @GaneshSitaraman]

Or read my book, Why Flying is Miserable, which recounts in detail the history of regulation, deregulation, and the experience since. https://t.co/7xuPhF1hsf
