If you're a reporter and you catch yourself writing about the "crisis" of "skyrocketing federal debt" in your copy, delete your draft, start over, and read The Deficit Myth by @stephaniekelton.bsky.social.

1. The conventional explanation for food deserts—that these places are too poor or too rural to generate enough spending on groceries, or too Black to overcome racist corporate redlining — fail to grapple with a key fact: food deserts didn’t used to exist. My new piece in The Atlantic.
