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.
Wait… Wasn’t there a You’re Probably Getting Screwed on Tuesday? Yes, but in 2025 we plan to do more.
This week, J.D. talks about all things Agriculture with Josh Manske of the Corn Belt Newsletter.
Book Club!!!
Each month we will be promoting a book and at the end of the month we will interview the author. We encourage folks to read the book and send in questions that we will ask the authors.
February’s book is “Monopolized: Life in the Age of Corporate Power” by David Dayen, the executive editor of The American Prospect.
You can purchase “Monopolized” here. And be sure to send in your questions for David by commenting below.

Standing Tall for All,
J.D. Scholten
