While not explicitly mentioned the author does have a book readers might find interesting. In this non-fiction book, Michael Shellenberger argues that progressive policies have inadvertently led to the decline of major American cities, particularly San Francisco. He examines issues such as homelessness, drug addiction, and crime, proposing that a shift in approach is necessary to address these complex urban problems.
like guys like Gren Glenn Greenwald, Matt Taibbe, those type Michael Shelonburgger, those type of people that work for mainstream organizations and then realize these are this I'm being constrained and this is not real journalism.
""Michael Shellenberger was mentioned as a trustworthy independent journalist, alongside Glenn Greenwald and Matt Taibbi. The speaker trusts him to 'always tell the truth about stuff'. This book is highly relevant to the societal and political critiques discussed in the conversation, particularly regarding urban issues and policy effectiveness."
