  3.  An_Equal  Vivek is literally a big pharma billionaire and you think he's NOT corrupt or susceptible to lobbying?!?! And RFK's brains are made of more gravel than his voice.

  6.  @chrisgg80  republicans are literally the ones defunding disaster relief and FEMA and fear mongering about FEMA workers coming to trans your pets or some nonsense. NC senate, house and supreme court are all republican and they just recently passed a bill to strip the dem governor of all power. No matter how you view it it is definitely not a dem controlled state.

  7. They want to crash the economy so that millions of people lose their jobs while also requiring work requirements for basic healthcare. Republicans are the definition of evil.

  11. Correction: Rivian is NOT the 3rd most valuable automaker in the world. It's not even the 3rd most valuable EV company in the world. Other than that great video!

  13. I unfortunately work for a big health insurance company and I see patients claims denied all the time for either no reason or just obviously incorrect things. I've seen people have their radiation treatment denied when they are diagnosed with cancer. It's pure evil. And there is no recourse because the appeal just sends it through the same broken system to spit it back out denying for the same incorrect reason. And many of these systems are designed to deny as many claims as possible and justify it by saying "well they can appeal and get it corrected". But often the appeal process is very bureaucratic and most people don't bother (or don't have the time) to put hours of work into each claim that should literally be done for them as that's kinda the point of having health insurance to begin with. It's literally a full time job (probably even more) to continually call about insurance claims and try to understand the systems. And of course people call in angry or worse if they have a family member that's in a coma or dying and you can't discuss their info and they are having treatment denied because the insurance company wouldn't approve the prior authorization. And I don't blame the angry people at all, but I also got no power to help. I'm just paid crap wages to be a piñata.

  15. I feel like the recent VP pick backs this up as well, strategically picked to take more votes from Biden. I absolutely despise Biden for using my tax money to fund genocide but I also acknowledge that Trump wants to expand that and make it even worse than it is. We are in a truly fucked place right now. At least Biden is reviving antitrust laws and doing some good bringing manufacturing jobs back to the US though.

  16. Another great video, never see any of this in mainstream "news".

  17. It's because the right wing Supreme Court ruled that bribery is legal paving the way for the total corporate capture of government.

  18.  @RichardDuncan-ju1xk  Owning a business is NOT a risk. You clearly have no idea how courts or bankruptcy works. As a business owner if your business fails or goes bankrupt you are not out any money, you still pay yourself and keep all your money. And nobody starts a business with the money they saved up working. That would never be enough. To start a business you raise capital. Meaning to sweet talk rich people and take loans out in the name of the business. Not personal loans in your own name. Just google the words: bank or venture capital. Nobody is taking a risk. None of these rich people took risk. If Amazon went under tomorrow Jeff Bezos would still be rich. Even when J&J was found to have poisoned millions of people and caused (at minimum) tens of thousands of proven cases of cancer, not only is the business doing better than ever but also the owners are richer than ever. They did the Texas two step and just spun off the product that caused the cancer (baby powder) into a "new" business that immediately declared bankruptcy and avoided all liability and everyone that died or is still dealing with cancer was left with nothing and no way to hold them accountable.

  20. We're headed right back to jailing people who speak out against religion or fascism. Galileo would die imprisoned all over again.

  21. @1:32 - wtf there's a Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport?! What a disgraceful name to put on a building in which all the air traffic controllers were fired by said man for striking.

  22. The US was founded on letting corporations and oligarchs run everything with zero consequences or interference from pesky things like workers/human rights.

  26. Of course the Chamber of Commerce and every other fascist rightwing business organisation have already announced lawsuits to block this. Hopefully they don't succeed. Biden needs to double or triple the FTC's budget stat, they will never have a change to keep up with all the anti-competitive and monopoly behaviour we are seeing in the US today.

  27. This sounds fantastic, I hope to god it passes!

  28. Allowing something as vital as utilities to be owned and controlled by shareholders, let alone foreign governments is insane. How is this not a major national security issue? But tictok gets a congressional hearing?! Some guy that says he once knew a guy that knew a guy that said aliens were real gets a congressional hearing?!?!

  30. Buybacks should be illegal. You can tell they should be illegal because Kevin McCarthy shook his head when biden mentioned they were bad.

  31. This is sickening. We need a general strike until the US isn't an absolute fascist monster pit.

  34. This is 100% spot on!

  35. The way the right is engineering a full-scale theocratic authoritarian takeover of the entire country and all our institutions is staggering and horrifying. Especially the supreme court. They are not ever using real cases with legal standing, they are just taking straight bribes from fascists and then making cases up as they go and there's no consequences for their corruption or tyranny.

  36. These consulting firms are pure evil.

  37. What kind of sick world do we live in where these monsters think starving children is a good thing! And then making them work in coal mines and slaughter houses on top of that! My gosh, if there's ever been a good time for a revolution....

  38. It's more surprising if any US corporation does not use slave labor at this point. We need to pass some basic human rights laws and stop trusting billionaires to have morals.

  39. Our "health care" system is disgusting! On another note, I feel like a video (or a series even) on consulting firms like McKinsey would make for a great topic as well. These firms seem almost unknown to the average American but are real power brokers and have massive influence in society, then help lay the basis for our entire way of culture/thought so deeply that we literally cannot think outside the box they have drawn in many cases.

  40. Dang, this would be awesome! I hope they get everything they are asking for. We really just need a general strike.

  41. You found some smart kids to interview, gives some hope for the future. All billionaires are evil.

  42. These companies give away exorbitant sums of money to wall street in the form of dividends. Warren Buffett alone makes $1 billion a year just from owning chevron stock in dividends. And he literally does not have to work a day in his life. They literally charge the American people 1,000% markup just to give money to themselves for free. It's essentially a ponzi scheme and we are all at the bottom.

  43. I used to work at a mall in which many of the stores had non-competes for literally every job. Folding sweaters is not a trade secret! I just read a story about Jimmy Johns forcing workers to sign these barring them from working basically anywhere in the US for any company that makes any revenue via sandwich sales.

  44. I mean installing "unalive" nets around their factories to catch workers trying to jump off and end their miserable existence was my first clue that Apple wasn't exactly a benevolent company. And paying their workers dog food wages while announcing another $110 billion (on top of the stock buybacks they are already doing) plus the billions in dividends while not even willing to negotiate a 2% raise for workers.... yep, they just pure evil with a nice shiny coating. Like a turd wrapped in gold foil. You open it up and it's still a turd.

  45. The US economy is just one giant mafia scheme now. So insane.

  46. About time we get some rail. But I hope most of them will be public and not private for-profit price gougers. $40-80/person for a one-way ticket while not even leaving the state is way outta my price range.

  47. You can if that money goes straight to the top 1% and never trickles down. Only money that actually circulates can cause inflation. If Jeff Bezos gets another trillion dollars from the government that won't cause inflation cause it just sits at the top. Example: If I was allowed to print money and printed 100 trillion dollars and put all of that money into gold bars it would not cause inflation. It would inflate the price of gold of course but not anything else, even though I printed 100 trillion dollars. Now, if I used that money to buy goods and services and those people who got paid did the same and on and on, then it could lead to inflation.

  48. Yep, it's every industry it seems. Doesn't matter where you work, you're probably getting shafted.
