  9. Reading the comments I am pleased that people are beginning to identify the mainstream media as morally and intellectually bankrupt. But this is only possible when a intellectual giant with ease ploughs through and navigates the tight and limited preconceived questions aimed at drawing out thin black and white answers, so typical of propaganda. The contrast between smart and stupid is glaring forces a viewer and listener to think. There is no question in my mind this woman does not even know who David Hume was. Chomsky wrote the book on the media's function in a command economy as fltering what information the American and British people are permitted to know. He breaks through the filtering process. Without a script this poor woman cannot think on her own cringe a viewer like me. Like watching Trump shut down verbally searching for words if the teleprompter is cut off. The tragedy is the under development of the female mind that is enforced by the corporation employing her that corporate feminism is all form and no substance. I watched a beautiful video of a beautiful town or city, I really don't know how big it is, but it appeared to be a town off the Atlantic coast called Cornwall. So I wrote a comment remarking on a well done video of a georgeous place and my immediate worry was how this town could be invaded by Trump International Resorts now that the UK will be standing on its own. Whereas the EU has something in the order of 27 nations, a Trump Resort or an American corporation would have to wait eons before it can sell its commodities in the UK. Easier to break down the standards and regulations for products when a country stands on its own than if it was part of a union. Divide and conquer.

  14. Part of the problem of being a billionaire in America today is being surrounded by people who do not tell you how you come across to the Public. They instead tell you how connected you are because the Public to the people surrounding the billionaire are a narrow and small number of people who live and have absolutely no connection to the Public. This is the case with Trump and Bloomberg. John Steyer is a billionaire of another mold as he is connected to the public by contracting with black firms and advisors in the process of making his money and will probably get a good percentage of voters for that reason. Biden is simply the older democrats living in a world of a by-gone era, they are the people who suggest WWI trench warfare for 21stcentury warfare, vestiges. The billionaire question on the minds of people, practically sick of the status quo, propelled, Buttigieg, Klobachar, Sanders and Warren in particular to the foreground of the political scene. The question is: Why do we need them when we actually do not?   The other part of the problem of being a billionaire in America, apart from living in a bubble, is that the real Public will have no access to all of the innovations in science, medicine and industry but the billionaires will. All of us will be living in the 1970s while the plutocrats live in the 21st century.  On innovation, the phenomena that has perplexed all economic thinkers on the era of modern industry is the effect of machinery to displace labor, this constitutes an economic paradox! The effect of machinery, science and technology on the worker is a self-evident law between the intensity and duration of labor prolonged indefinitely. But increasing the intensity of work, at some point, becomes complete inefficiency, and the shortening of the work day is a loss to capital strives for a solution. Piece work becomes the solution, what young people call the "gig economy", is piece work to the classical economists. The gig economy intensifies work because the worker is dependent on the machine to make a living. The machine back in the day of early modern industry was a sewing machine; today a cell phone and the data of personal lives harvested through the cell phone is the machine by which profits are accrued for a handful of billionaires. The more people use the cell phone or its applications the more profits are earned. In the early days of modern industry, the more the worker produced a given product they were paid by the weight and the quality of the product, the work intensified. Value was reduced to the quantity of labor. Time as the measure of labor.
