We Went to a Crypto Conference: We Left Terrified



The crypto industry could cause a 2008 style economic crash. After spending $130 million on the 2024 elections, the industry won every seat it invested in. Now, they're getting the policies they want — and that could mean economic disaster for the rest of us.-----
More Perfect Union’s mission is to build power for working people. Here’s what that means:

We report on the real struggles and challenges of the working class from a working-class perspective, and we attempt to connect those problems to potential solutions.

We report on the abuses and wrongdoing of corporate power, and we seek to hold accountable the ultra-rich who have too much power over America’s political and economic systems.
