Planning to subscribe to Substack and Patreon creators/writers next year using the $$$ I used to spend on magazines. (I use Libby now for those). Is there a starter pack of worthwhile Substack/Patreon folks someone has? Looking for logical, insightful, non-rage, information/news.

the private equity acquisition process where they take out huge loans to buy a company, put those loans on the company’s balance sheet and liquidate the company to pay them off (while looting the assets) should be made illegal
it is a purely destructive process and it’s absurd that we allow it
Just got a news alert saying Joann Fabrics is going into bankruptcy due to decreasing demand.
Article fails to say that it was purchased by a private equity firm a while ago and recently went public and is carrying $2.4 billion in debt.
