  1. Most Americans defend billionaires the same way someone in an abusive relationship defends their abuser. It's ridiculous!

  2. "No one is hungry or cold." Umm... Homelessness is at its highest rate since the great depression. I see homeless everywhere now in places where I didn't used to see them.

  3. Rich corporations should be treated like spoiled kids. Don't enable them, encourage them, or give them any ideas.

  4. A renter who supports Republicans is like a chicken who supports Colonel Sanders.

  5. It's cheaper to make.

  6. The problem is, housing prices are high too for potential first time home buyers who are sick of paying rent. But rent is also too high for people to afford. Where are people supposed to live? This is why small homes and living in an RV are trending.

  7. ​ @francismarion6400 Obama did that. Trump just took the credit.

  8. They know that nobody is brave enough to come after them. They're above justice.

  9. ​ @vectorhacker-r2 Stop defending people more powerful than yourself. Look out for yourself instead.

  10.  @Badfish988  even so. corporations are notoriously bad at thinking long term.

  11. In an ideal world, the creative people would be running those industries like their own bosses. I find it absurd that people with no creative talent at all get to be Hollywood or Disney execs or get to be on the board of directors. Glorified middle men is all they really are.

  12. And Republicans still think deregulation is a good idea? Start regulating these companies.
    27
  13. This is why I refuse to work overtime. Working overtime plays right into the hands the people exploiting me. It's not even worth it.
    24
  14. ​ @ngf5077 The words 'skilled' is pretty subjective too. Writers are skilled, Hollywood just doesn't pay them hardly anything. It takes a good command of the English language, proper manuscript formating, and an imagination to write movies.

  15. ​ @grmpEqweer And the top 1% hold way more than even the top 10%.

  16. I avoid this problem by not subscribing to anything that costs money to begin with.

  17. Thanks for letting us know which businesses to boycott. Union strong! 💪✊

  18. When I worked at Pizza Hut they would make us claim our tips and I would always lie and claim almost no tips since I knew Pizza Hut was just gonna take my tips outta my paycheck.

  19. The only way that will happen is if the unions get mean. You need union thugs to jump the dumber employees after work for refusing to strike and threaten them. It's not nice but it's the only way.

  20. Every studio executive is a narcissist who feels threatened by people who have real talents. Hopefully no trolls get mad at this comment and are like "you try running a business" or something. I've never heard that one before. 🙄

  21. But when a rich person asks for money, a Republican bends over backwards to give them more.
    15
  22. Just boycott all that junk food and grow a garden. If nobody buys it they'll be forced to lower prices.

  23.  @matthewcaldwell8100  This isn't a concept they can grasp.

  24. The only way to solve greed is to set a trap and bait it with money.

  25. It's like when a corporation tells you they won't give you a raise because it's not in the budget but you know that the C-Suite all got raises for Christmas.

  26. Corporate news with their terrible prescription drug commercials won't tell us anything they don't want us to hear.

  27. ​ @BleedForTheWorld In other words, I think it is their fault for falling for right wing propaganda. I never fell for it and I was raised in a red state and everything. I will continue to mock and belittle them for being gullible.

  28. ​ @2265Hello In my opinion Hollywood and TV networks threw their creative talent under the bus and that's why we have so many garbage reality shows now.

  29. Billionaires are awful. I live in Idaho and every year the billionaires have Billionaire Summer Camp up in Sun Valley. It's probably just an excuse for them to collaberate and scheme. They're always up to something.

  30.  @Aznerep  You know, people never learn from history and we're currently repeating the problems of the Guided Age. If you're aware of what's going on it's not ridiculous at all.

  31. ​ @carloscardona466 CEOs aren't more important. I can beat them at karaoke and at most sports and am creative enough to write better tham average novels and movies. I guess I'm more important. I figure if the CEO isn't gonna be humble about his talents and skills then neither am I.

  32.  @joewoodchuck3824  What's crazier is that billionaires don't need regular people to defend them when they already own the world.

  33. Privitization makes everything worse. They privatized the hospital and are surprised that it turned into a greedy shit show?

  34.  @BeachCity  Not all people are equally creative, though. That would be like saying all people are as good at basketball as Michael Jordan was. A lot of those head execs couldn't write anything good to save their lives or act their way out of a paper sack as an actor, so to speak. They rely on writers and actors who are actually good at those things.

  35. Greed is OK for poor people. It becomes a mental illness once you become a billionaire but still want more.

  36. Elon Musk is proof that we need to raise taxes on the very rich.

  37.  @joewoodchuck3824  I didn't read it anywhere. I live in a red state and almost every conservative I know has some defense of billionaires even when said billionaires do terrible things that affect the rest of us negatively.

  38. I like this channel. Unlike the corporate news, it actually covers relevant topics.

  39.  @warnegoodman  It would probably look a lot like the 1960s when the Tillman Act restricted money in politics.

  40. Ironic, eh?

  41.  @JohnT.4321  I've never heard of that socialist union program. I'll have to look into it.

  42. ​ @keithwisdom1663 And then don't get the job because some 70 year old boomer already has it and won't leave. 😂

  43. Unions should operate more like mafia so that corporations are more afraid of them. And they did when Jimmy Hoffa was alive. It was no coincidence that the middle thrived when Jimmy Hoffa ran the Teamsters. Jimmy was a working class hero.

  44. Look what capitalism did to the Native Americans. They're coming for people who live off grid next.

  45.  @captainroberts6318  Many workplaces do have a suggestion box and encourage employees input on how to improve things. Problem is the bosses are arrogant know-it-alls who think they know better than the actual workers, so the suggestions rarely get taken seriously. But yeah. I agree that the workers should have way more control over the workplace than they do. Rich are always out of touch with the regular people. Even the few who try not to be.

  46. This is why I empathize with people who embezzle money from their employers. Maybe their employer screwed them first and they were only getting what was rightfully theirs or more to get back at their lousy employer.

  47. It's almost like the king of beers is a person. "Back to work peasants! The king of beers commands you!"

  48. Temp work is basically slavery. The temp services take so much out of your check that you often end up earning less than minimum wage. I did temp work when I was between jobs. It was terrible.

  49. Sounds like another great "job creator". Thanks G.O.P.

  50. Karl Marx was right about religious people.
