Comments by "Praise The Sun" (@Praisethesunson) on "If the Economy is Good, Why Do We Feel So Bad? with Kyla Scanlon" video.

  1. 99% of economic growth is being sucked up by the top 10% of incomes(the top 1% takes over half of what goes to the top 10%). Over half the country has gotten poorer over the last decade. These two are blind to power and it shows. The majority feel bad because the basic necessities of life are artificially and perniciously paywalled by private actors whose only goal is personal profit maximizing.

  10. Capitalism. If things are going to fall apart than there is no need for you to do anything to threaten the status quo. ​ @ShaedeReshka

  11. True. Which is why the rich have spent literal decades specifically to undue the very nation you suggested. Fun fact: corporations "having" to maximize shareholder value isn't a law. That can stop literally today.

  13. ​ @promytheuz5065 yes they are. Your employment numbers are deliberately skewed

  14.  @ShaedeReshka  Yes. The status quo is not neutral. Keeping you and your fellow poors from acting against the systems that rule you. means more and more profits can keep being extracting wealth out of you without challenge. Which is capitalism

  15. Jeff Bezos hasn't worked for 2 years and just the money he "made" during that time is more than my city (Ho Chi Minh) has.

  16. Low​ income apartments can absolutely be build for 400 million people. That will never happen because if you had access to an apartment like that your landlord couldn't charge as much for you to live under their housing. @madamebutterfly851
