Link Roundup: 8 July

The tale of cookware reseller Great Jones, and how middlemen took over the economy.

Tarence Ray of the good podcast Trillbilly Workers’ Party writes about Kentucky’s war on opioids.

Interesting Guardian piece on how Bob Hawke personally killed JFK, or something like that. Someone should do a podcast on it.

This guy I know from Twitter is doing short stories about horrible men on his Substack and it rules, check it out. Want to see way more people doing stuff like this.
