  1. >No one wants to challenge capitalism. Because they saw what happened when Salvador Allende tried to challenge capitalism. He got ruthlessly crushed.

  2. It is simple. If you work for a big corporation and are not in a union, then the harder you work, the more wages the big corporation can steal from you.

  3.  @barbaralachance5836  And now only the ultra-rich can afford the tickets, and Ticketmaster still makes hoards of money off them.

  4. Your numbers are irrelevant. The billionaire class can exert orders of magnitude more force.

  5. ​ @severallemmings Because billionaires hate it when they are not the only beneficiaries of society.

  6. You mean like this big rig? One that actually reacts to the crash? https://youtu.be/UVtmlEEU-lo

  7. But the oligarchs are now way too heavily entrenched, fortified and defended, like Israel vs. the Palestinians. They have learned from history, like the Borg adapting to Starfleet's weapons.

  8. Adam, "synthetic biology" is a euphemism for eugenics. And eugenics is something that could spell our doom.

  9. ​ @AK-cr5pe The ultra-rich have the bigger guns, though. Orders of magnitude bigger.

  10. The working class is just way too easily fuckable. And the "Chicago School" espouses what I call "Keep-em-dumb-onomics".

  11. Because fixing these root problems is never profitable. Making them worse is where all the money is.

  12. Heavy rush hour traffic has entered the chat

  13. Of course! "Ticketmonster"!

  14. No, climate change will not be the end of the world, it will be the end of us.

  15. Don't you mean "the other three years and 365 days”, Adam? US Presidential elections pretty much always happen in leap years. And do you not also realize that the ultra-rich's efforts have essentially atomized the working class in the US?

  16. But nowadays, corporations are not limited in the amount of force they put into such a fight.

  17.  @osurpless  I would prefer "bootlicker" or "asskisser".

  18.  @Fractured_Unity  Which is why big corporations go to every means necessary to divide the working class and keep it fighting amongst itself. It is not called "divide and conquer" for nothing.

  19. Billionaires want Americans stupider, because a stupider population is a more controllable and more profitable population. Maybe working class people should just start their own colleges.

  20. And you won't be able to save yourself either, because powerful forces have kept you fighting amongst yourselves with deadly effectiveness. And the intended audience of this video of yours will never even see it. You're fucked. Get used to it.

  21. The only reason Musk told everyone "the Hyperloop was coming" was to get all those transit projects cancelled and keep Americans in their fucking cars. It was all to reinforce car-centric policy in the US.

  22. 19:00 - Adam, you just described capitalist dictatorship.

  23. Attempt to ban billionaires, and they will just unban themselves.

  24.  @Jompe69  The US is a capitalist dictatorship. Only profitable solutions are permitted there.

  25. ​ @youtubesucks1499 Take your corporate bootlicking elsewhere. All you are doing is working to further divide the working class.

  26.  @EinSofQuester  Take your corporate bootlicking elsewhere.

  27.  @EinSofQuester  You do not know what you are talking about. Billionaires are parasites. They are harmful to society. They want to take, take, take, but never give back.

  28. @obinnaflashboy  YES. IT IS. Greed is literally one of the seven deadly sins.

  29. The US is a plutocracy now. No one represents the working class in the US anymore. All politicians represent the ultra-rich.

  30.  @Womcataclysm  Because you are literally editing the makeup of a living organism.

  31.  @AJPemberton  Slippery slope much?

  32. Do not be surprised, Adam, if big corporations demand that Google pull this video of yours off of YouTube because it threatens to cut into their profits.

  34. Actually, people have been killed on buses. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killing_of_Tim_McLean https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humboldt_Broncos_bus_crash

  35. Because the US is a capitalist dictatorship. The ultra-rich wanted Trump over Harris. And Adam, if Trump and Musk have their way, there will be no more elections in the US, and Democrats will not get such chances anymore.
