Jared, I can repeat to you the same, check reality.
Your writing got my attention because you are one of those bards of doom and gloom highly promoted by Medium leaders. I have been writing about politics for 50 years and am good at it. You have your misinformed obsessions and skillfully manipulate data to construct arguments that less informed people can find convincing. One day your lies will catch up with you. If under the new CEO, Medium puts more attention on searching for the truth, I might write a text showing you as an example of the false prophet.
