  1. I for one look forward to our political leaders implementing the cheapest last minute solution to climate change that our corporate overlords can come up with.

  2. It should be noted it is not the workers who make the TB drug jacking the price up beyond the reach of people who need it. The owners of the TB are jacking the price up so they can meet quarterly profit projections for people who primarily care about line go up.

  3. Here's a fun fact. 2:41 in that poverty reduction chart. If you remove China from the tables. You'll see extreme global poverty has increased since 2003.

  4. But that might impact the profits of the largest sellers of weapons on Planet earth.

  5. On the plus side. The few rural health systems that state had have been almost entirely bought up by venture capital firms. Those VC firms have only closed 40% of those health centers since COVID started. But they made a profit out of each one.

  6. We also know how unessential and useless hedge fund managers are.

  7. Those things making all star is going to haunt my nightmares for years. To be clear, I mean those things will be scaring my nightmares.

  8.  @popenieafantome9527  What workers can do when acting in solidarity with each other against the capitalist class will always be greater.

  9. Why? Y'all didn't appear to learn anything from COVID except a few new racist ways to describe China.

  10.  @ObjectsInMotion  Phew! Well that is a relief to hear brother! I was starting to think 4 dudes having as much wealth as your nation's poorest 50% of the population(e.g you) combined, might be having a negative impact on things. I'm glad the real™ answer is the government simply not bribing enough of the right corporate conglomerates.

  13. Surely the TB Leopards won't eat my face. -the selfish people you want to convince

  14. Yes TB cases in the U.S are spiking. Especially in rural areas. But you must understand. The private VC firms that are buying and closing rural health systems across the U.S made adequate profits paywalling away rural healthcare(in the richest nation on Earth). And really, isn't an increase in preventable diseases a fair price to pay for greater short term profits?

  15. Maybe on a U.S history channel. There could be a crash course onnit.

  16.  @Procrastinacion_  What Google is doing now is also why you'll never own a house.

  17. That's not as good for profits as treating just enough TB to keep the market for TB treatment sustainable.

  18. The other half of the battle is against our corporate overlords deliberately pumping the atmosphere with CO2 cause not doing that would have made a few already wealthy ghouls slightly less wealthy.

  19. I look forward to hearing the dark secrets behind weighted blankets. Like they are primarily used in some prison camp to torture people. Or their original function was to restrict the movement of mental patients so they could be more easily ignored.

  20. I only had to lock my keys inside the car 11 times before I learned that lesson

  21.  @fireyjon  They are worth however much the two families that own global chocolate production are worth.

  22. Why are poor places poor? Colonialism. Corruption is a feature not a bug. Corrupt people are easier to make beneficial deals with than people focused on secular national ideals.

  23.  @Argusthecat  That explains why they've bothered to regulate any of the financial industry.

  24. Lol, as if any of the systems you described ever even pretended to give a shit about the poor.

  26. I'm in Kentucky. 0% chance my senator will support it. I call though. So at least he had one more thing he had to listen and then ignore between being the worst.

  30. If climate change is real. Then why do billionaires heavily invested in fossil fuels(Like Billiam Gates the third) pay millionaires to tell me climate change isn't real?

  31. According to the last IPCC report Natural Gas usage is going to ensure the global climate temperature goes up a minimum of 3 degrees by 2100. So that's a concern.

  32. Avoiding corporate propaganda for meats is the hardest thing for me. Otherwise you are 1000% right on the money.

  33. Ukraine has been an independent nation for less time than John has been alive.

  34. As long as you ignore that the only difference between nuclear power and nuclear weapon is how long you keep the uranium in the atom spinners of course.

  35. But think of the shareholders!!! What would you have already wealthy ghouls do? Make slightly less money for something as trivial as saving the rest of the natural world? How communist of you.

  46. Being Vegan in America today is like washing your hands in America in the 1700's. What you are doing is 100% the correct and healthy thing to do. But you live in a society too backwards and barbaric for it to be understood.

  47. Koch is scientifically literate. That doesn't keep him from intentionally burning the world because that burning makes him even richer.

  48.  @eos_aurora  Those were dark time for the already wealthy. Thankfully our most cynical propagandists rallied together under fossil fuel billionaires to instill doubt in the minds of the filthy rabble. All for a good cause of course. To make the already rich slightly richer.
