I got beat up and arrested for a joint in the early 2000s. These companies killed 100,000s maybe? Didn’t do a day in jail.
And they made deals to not have to admit guilt so no family member can be charged with civil suits
I certainly don't think you should have been arrested for that. I think drugs should be legal and the war on drugs should end today. But those companies didn't 'kill' people. They offered them something somewhat similar to the guy who sold you that joint. Or maybe more accurately someone who sold a stronger drug. If you don't want to OD on a drug, quit taking it.
@@deadgolfer6345 umm they lied on forums to the FDA claiming it was less then 1% chance to be addicted. Which lead to the epidemic because doctors handed it out thinking it wasnt addictive which caused people to get addicted. Do some research before you make a fool of yourself
Millions
@@deadgolfer6345 Maybe check out “DopeSick” to start if you haven’t already. I’d say “Offered” is a little light handed lol. They were told false reports…it was marketed as a non addictive drug. They changed small ingredients to further contracts so that they didn’t lose the patent. I’m sorry it was a little more then “offered”. “Spectfully” =]
People think he's conservative cause he said some stuff about speech but he's really just a modern day Carlin. He's quite progressive and I've never actually heard him compliment conservatives lol
Nobody thinks he's conservative and I've never actually heard him compliment liberals.
The only people that think he is conservative are the liberals that disagree with what he says.
@@nate7778 wrong. Lot of people do
@@nate7778 also what a moronically impossible statement to prove
He is neither. He makes fun of conservatives and progressives all the time. It’s almost like he isn’t beholden to any one political ideology and holds views from both sides like most Americans. What a novel concept.
This is one of my favorite segments you lot have done so far. I am not a fan of 100% of your coverage, but it is usually balanced and rooted in evidence-based claims and seemingly honest journalistic research. Thank you for the work you did in putting this together. Great job, and thanks as always!
The biggest problem is the checks and balances have eroded and companies can get away with litteral murder without any real consequences to many examples to even start listing em.
Doesnt matter what team, our federal politicians get bought out through legalized corruption. They should be the best of us, and maybe some are, but by the time they get out, they're all swamp monsters.
Biggest Problem…… in an Ocean of Societal Wide Problems……
Like the recent fire at an Amazon warehouse where they forced people to keep working and refused to shut down. Things are getting so out of control.
Yeah they'll get levied fines that are disproportionable to the profits they've received, an expected cost of doing business. Something they've planned for and expected. Just a line item. If I made $1,000,000 from doing something illegal and I get fined $1,000 for it, is that really justice? Is that really a deterrent? The sacklers didn't even have to issue a formal apology or take accountability. A grave miscarriage of justice and a slap in the face of all the people affected by all pain, misery, and death that is the ongoing opioid addiction crisis. The courts and judges are a joke. Two different legal systems, one for the wealthy and the rest of us who can't afford to insulate ourselves with money to by hiring the best legal "teams" around or being able to comfortably settle and sail into the sunset on a golden parachute.
Companies have been getting away with murder for centuries if not millennia. I.e.: banana massacre
Any system will be taken advantage of after some amount of time because of the human variable. Not enforcing rules based on checks and balances is where everything falls apart.
The inequality is not generated at the level of government systems. It’s a law of nature called the Pareto distribution. 80-20 rule. It’s in biology, a small number of starts have almost all mass, small number of men make most babies, wealth, water collection, effort and work, intelligence. It’s fundamental to reality. Can’t escape it. Blaming capitalism is low information and just a complete misdiagnosis.
Thank you! The human nature equation is always left out
Yea people just want something to blame and capitalism is an easy target for the woke. Meanwhile, capitalism as literally uplifted 90% of the entire human population out of extreme poverty over the past century
But mah capitalism is bad
@@johngoldsworthy7135 Your capitalism is shit and you are too most likely.
As a disabled veteran, I have seen multiple instances online of people in the exact same situation as me health-wise, same disabilities and background and everything, and they're homeless. It truly astonishes me how many people are comfortable with a system as long as it works out for them. I'm doing alright, in spite of these disabilities, because I am one of the lucky few the system didn't drop off the face of the Earth. Some are not so fortunate as me. And I spend every single day at least once thinking about how it can all be taken away. Even though I've been fortunate, the knowledge that its at the grace of randomly selected bureaucrats gives me a sense of foreboding that will never go away. No matter what. The system needs to be reformed, nobody should have to live in a system that punishes you for being broken, veteran or no. Capitalism as it is now, fails to do that.
Capitalism didn't cause any of your problems.
As a former social worker, I hear you man. On the other hand, there is a lot of stolen valor out there, guys pretending they are veterans, are living on the streets, but never served in the military. Most of the people I met on welfare had drug problems, which has nothing to do with capitalism, but has everything to do with a culture which rejects faith and accepts getting stoned as a solution. My son is a veteran, after he got back from overseas, he was damaged physically and mentally, but he got off the drugs, he works out all the time, and he sees a counselor at the VA. The system isn’t perfect, but it’s not the worst system in the world either. As for communism, and Socialism, I was a socialist for many years until I traveled to East Germany during the Soviet era. It was pretty scary, going into East Germany, dudes with guns on the bus taking your passport. So yeah, there are bad aspects of capitalism, but mostly it’s about human nature, there are evil people out there and there are good people out there. In the end, it all comes down to personal responsibility, you have to take responsibility for your own actions. This is especially true when I see a 16-year-old living on the street, because he doesn’t want to get a job, he just wants to hang out with his friends. Again, met quite a few homeless people when I worked at Saint Vinnys. Most of them CHOOSE to be on the street, At least here in Oregon.
the fact that a single veteran is cast aside in that way is the biggest disgrace this country has to bear. We spend trillions on military spending. Not a single veteran should be homeless.
Agreed, but Communism isn't a good solution.
@@jeffzekas It doesn't get said enough but a big percentage of these people on the streets claiming to be veterans are not.
Knowing this show has a large number of conservatives in the audience it is heartwarming to me to see such positive feedback and so many views on this segment. Of course Krystal knocked it out of the pack. Solidarity to everyone coming here with a different perspective but willing to hear this perspective out. 🤟
Well said. Bipartisanship is the only way forward.
Why don’t they cover certain very newsworthy topics? Seems to me that as time goes by they turn into the very corrupt media they try to fight. Why haven’t they had any videos on the FBI whitleblowers?
Not just conservative but far right as ❤️🩹 well. It's the only way forward
I have to say that while I agree with the sentiment, I don't see much of the right in these comments going along with the message. Quite the contrary. Which is probably part of the point of the thumbnail, to get the right riled up as much as get the left fired up.
In my thinking the guys that could get the right to come around to healthy mixed market thinking are Max Alvarez and Matt Stoller. Stoller is a genius but awkward as hell on BP for some reason. Very few people in the conservative working class could tolerate Krystal in a video like this. I enjoyed it, but my Middle American brain was picking it apart.
The best guy that they have in this regard is Max Alvarez. He carries himself in a way that plays well with the low and slow mannerisms of the Great Plains and Midwest. Plus it's clear that he knows what he's talking about with the mundane struggles of the working class. I've had BP on when conservative family is around and they can't be in the room when Krystal is on. But they listen and get outraged at corporations when Max talks.
Low and slow and common sense. That's how you get Middle America on board.
Here you go: ua-cam.com/video/uX9SJSxO5WE/v-deo.html
Hit the nail on the head Crystal. At this point denying the fact that our government has been completely co-opted by corporate interest is a deliberate and conscious choice. At every turn our interests are subordinated to greed and profit. We deserve better! Thank you for doing the work you’re doing and contributing this kind of reporting to the discourse at large ❤️
Exactly. Just look at what happened to Steven Donziger. Chevron owns the judicial system now
Before the HHS bureaucracy was established there was a thriving capitalist competition in the pharmaceutical industry. Socialist regulations and compliances shut most of those companies down leaving only the big ones who naturally end up getting into bed with big government.
What you are describing is NOT capitalism " our government has been completely co-opted by corporate interest".
@@stephensmith6599 I agree. We can fix capitalism to make it better. America hasn't been doing it at its best. I don't see the need to make the leap to socialism or communism.
@@stephensmith6599 End stage capitalism always goes this way. Sorry bud
This reminds me of the end of the dictator. That speech he makes at the end is so on point and I think most people didn’t even realize he was making a very ironic point about how most of these political systems are designed to enrich a small ruling class no matter how it’s structured.
I would argue that the system we currently have is designed to benefit more, non linearly, those that are higher up in said system. It's a logarithmic hierarchy. The trouble is our experiments with anything else (like systems of forced equilibrium) seem to be significantly more unstable.
Capitalism sucks so bad... but it is still better than anything else we have come up with.
Capitalism isn't designed, it occurs naturally in any society that develops capital as a means of efficient trade. You may refer to centralist efforts that oppose the free market (capitalism) such as subsidy, injections, bailouts, money printing and basic patents which are designed to enrich the few. The common element is the government.
Exactly, capitalism, communism, plutocracy monarchy... It's a rose by another name. If the rulers are corrupt you can pick any system, it'll become a problem eventually full of exploitation. If morality, ethics & love are the compass, you can have any system you want & it can work, without them you're stuck in a swinging pendulum where you have to hope it swings the right way.
@@EagleZtoTheGrave except in communism there isnt supposed be leaders in the same way we have now
“By the year 2030 you will own NOTHING and be HAPPY”
In the future you will be nothing and own happy.
that was a prediction and not a goal
@@marcethier4362 It's a current goal. And by "nothing" they meant renting/subscription service.
We are in 3rd industrial revolution.
People from the 2nd industrial revolution was not in peace with the changes.
People born in the 3rd industrial revolution defend this era and are not in peace with the 4th industrial revolution.
New born in the 4th industrial revolution will like it and be not in peace with the 5th industrial.
You missed the point of Crystal’s speech. If you watched until the end, which I’m sure you didn’t; she states the far right AND far left tell you it’s all one way or the other. She is saying there is a middle ground, take the good that both have to offer.
Krystal at her best, Wow, so well put
Krystal trying to pretend she is not a basic lib is pretty remarkable.
She is no leftist.
Where is anyone criticizing monopolies rather than capitalism. I think both socialism and unchecked capitalism have the same freaking problem, which is government teaming up with big business. It is crazy to me people dont trust big business but trust the government. Seriously? Last time I checked they are both ran by flawed human beings. Unchecked power is the problem.
Yeahp. This segment sucked. Capitalism just means private ownership of capital, that's it. You can even have "voluntary socialism" within capitalism .. you can do whatever you want, it's your money! Versus pooling all capital together and people vote on what to do with it ...
Like my friend Andrew Yang said, we need to evolve capitalism. Retain its best qualities and change its worst. Especially the metrics by which it's evaluated. No need to throw the baby out with the bath water here.
Every system has its corruption, nepotism and graft.
dont yoou want to be in a cooperative where you have a share of the company
👍
Would be nice if my friend Andrew Yang kept thay energy with his new party
Nope. The issue here is moral decay. The love of money is the root of all evil. When you replace God with an idol like money, you will have hell to pay. Hell right here on earth.
Nobody has ever been able to reform or control capitalism, which itself is a suicidal system that can't survive automation or itself. People need to let go. Not throwing the baby out simply means keeping tech, a global order, and in some cases markets -none of those things are capitalism. Move forward with democracy. The opposite of capitalism could be market socialism here, decentralized non market democratic planning there, whatever, we have the tech, might as well stop killing ourselves.
Every now and then, Krystal reminds me why I used to enjoy her program. She is correct about evils of capitalism. Too bad BP via its shitposting mostly caters to those same capitalists.
Not a single argument against capitalism made in this video, by Krystal or Burr, had anything to do with capitalism.
If we listened to bill burr we would have audited the fed by now. Bill burr is the man.
So fuckin true
Ron Paul has been calling for an audit of the fed since the 80's
So because the fed is bad that means socialism is better than capitalism? Whatever you say cupcake.
@@saucyrossy3698 Where was that said? Sounds like a straw man.
@@saucyrossy3698 Yeah.....that's exactly what I said psycho 🤣
Comedians are hands down great social observers and critics
especially when they tour
Successful comedians tell the truth. Successful politicians LIE.
The democrats claim to be against capitalism, but you have presidents like Clinton you passed outsourcing bills like NAFTA and Obama who pushed hard for TPP . These are corporate cronyism that favor businesses over employees. Both parties, especially democrats pushed for open borders to depress wages and kill what’s left of unions. Some forms of socialism and government involvement is okay but the problem with all forms of economics is greed. No system is perfect, but I fear an all powerful, all controlling government over greedy corporations, because if a corporation is not providing to your needs you can boycott them out of business, but when a greedy government taxes you to death that’s a bigger problem
Yeah, an inordinately wealthy comedian talking about the horrors of capitalism...odd.
The best actually
Loved this segment. Thank you!
When Bill Burr and Krystal Ball gives up all of their wealth, then I might believe them.
So you need 2 individuals to respond to a society-wide problem to believe that the society-wide problem is real?
Or to believe they actually care about it?
I’m sure if their tax bracket ended up higher but the problems they outlined got fixed, they’d gladly pay the higher taxes, so… I’m not sure what the point of your comment is.
@@jacquelynfrench9473 no, I’m pretty much over people who have accumulated all of this wealth then when they get their’s, it’s time to whine about capitalism.
It's funny that whenever people criticize "capitalism" it's always the problems caused by cronyism they are criticizing.
Indeed. Most if not all the problems identified in this segment are results of cronyism. Government backed monopolies and/or regulations which allow some corporations to do evil. When there is no competition, there is no true capitalism or free market.
Right, but that cronyism is incentivized by capitalism. I don't think we need to get rid of capitalism, far from it, it gave us everything we have today. However, money is infectious. We need actual strict enforcement to ensure a free market. To argue that capitalism is inherently good is just as poor an idea as eschewing it entirely.
@@breteady2166
The point is that any system is as fallible as the people running it and what they allow. People cherry pick socialist examples as proof of its failure and filter out capitalist shortcomings. There are benefits and drawbacks to all systems and none should be a bogeyman. The main issue across the board is corruption.
I know it’s very frustrating. The solution is to decentralize power. The Fed Gov spent $8 trillion last year and every industry where costs have skyrocketed, the government has their hand in.
It’s like giving Bernie Madoff your life savings after he was convicted - we’re funding our own demise.
Regardless of the system and what we call it, human greed is always gonna find a way.
All the more reason to rail against it with good policy.
Not necessarily true. Quite a bit of research shows greed or self preservation is based off scarcity. And current scarcity is based off a system meant to profit off artificial demand. Like capitalism.
Agreed. But its easier to fight the absolute control of the greedy through capitalism than through socialism/communism. Neither is EASY but one is easier than the the other. Are the problems and inequity in capitalist countries? Yes. But the people who live under capitalism have faired FAR better than those who lived under socialism in EVERY SINGLE CASE.
Greed is basically a form of survival.
Yup. No matter what. Everyone who meant good can be bought out/kick out. 🤷🏽♂️ At the end of the day those ppl in power regardless of how small/big only care about their well being.
Great reporting! Concise, easy to digest and research! Thank you!
I mean if he really doesn't like capitalism and wants socialism I'd be happy to give him half of my stuff and he gives me half of his 🤣
Human greed under *_any_* economic system will result the the same suffering and squalor. Without checks and balances, power and wealth will concentrate to the detriment of almost everyone.
People rail against these economic systems when the failings always come from the social systems that undergird them.
Smartest post in the comment section.
It's not capitalism that is the problem. It's nepotism. Wealth and privilege accumulates in family lines. Whoever gets into the top 20 American universities, runs the country. It's a ticket to endless opportunity. Who gets in? 60% of the students in those universities are from the economic top 1%. Most of the rest are from the economic top 10%.
Or perhaps it's human nature.
What social system failings are you referencing?
@@TimBitts649 Capitalism is built on nepotism, so your argument here isn't logically sound.
Everytime I start to get bored of this show, one of them does a segment like this and I'm reminded why I love these two
Exactly!
AMEN
Krystal complaining about capitalism creating new systems to colonize your mind and then begging people to subscribe to their channel is the biggest LOL
@@MrIgmendel The biggest “LOL” is you whining and crying about capitalism being exposed by everyone including comedians just to comment under their videos. Thanks for laugh imbecile.
Btw, there’s a reason why capitalism the biggest traitors since they put profit over people. Watching capitalist CEO’s shipping over 4 million American jobs to communist China is beyond laughable. Well done ;)
@@MrIgmendel are you the guy that was offended about bill burr not talking nice about capitalism
We don’t have capitalism… we have corporatism… huge difference.
Hands down one of your best Monologues/ Radars, Krystal. Well done!
Agreed
Agreed ... if you are ignorant of history and what capitalism actually is. What she is whining about is not capitalism.
@@stephensmith6599 I think it's more likely that you only attribute positive traits to capitalism and only attribute negative traits to socialism because you're a binary goofball. Everything she uses as an example are 1,000% examples of capitalism. It's private markets exploiting people for profit. That's capitalism at its worst. She isn't saying to THROW out all of capitalism. She's pointing out the flaws so hopefully some day we can curb capitalism's worst impulses.
@@ProfessuhLemon Tell me you're a hypocrite without saying you're a hypocrite. Notice how Bill and Krystal both entirely ignore the flaws of socialism/communism, systems which inevitably exploit people for labor. Which means profit. Ultimately, any system is corruptible. The one that doesn't attempt to guarantee individual rights is going to be prone to exploiting individuals first. And guess what collectivist systems don't do?
pretending that socialism would solve any of these issues is pure fantasy. if capitalism was replaced with socialism 90% (at very least) would quickly speak back into extreme poverty. there would still be corruption, but there would just be less access to clean water, food, education and all the other terrible things we enjoy each day. you can't blame homeless encampments on capitalism, unless you're blaming the current situation on a complete lack of purpose because their lives have become so easy.
This was Krystal at her best. I feel like my perspective has shifted back a bit on this day
Seriously. After hearing this how could Kyle not put a ring on it. We need her in the senate.
Krystal might not have the humor but her politics and and understanding is way ahead of anything Saagar can muster . Saagar politics is off but he is better than 99.% of conservatives brainwashed idiots I came across .
Really? I thought this is one time where her biases got the better of her. All the things she attributes to capitalism as being evil or bad, are just arbitrarily thrown in there because they're useful comparisons in her narrative. Can't blame capitalism for those things which fall outside the domain of economics. Homelessness isn't caused by capitalism - that's just ridiculous..
@@SineEyed I would say homelessness (especially to the degree we are seeing) is a marker of economic function
@@SineEyed all her complaints are basically due to corruption which can and do happen in any and all economic systems.
Its not capitalism, its corportation being able to give money to politicians. Coporations are not a person. Our rules of fiduciary responsibility make big corporations act like a psychopath.
What do you think the ultimate result of laissez faire capitalism is?
Nobody forced Tua, Tua himself wanted to go out there. Not for the "almighty dollar" but to help his team win a game. Its a sense of comradery and duty that someone who never played football will never understand.
Many friends loved this bill burr bit because he explained things in a way that relates to people. Broke it down nice and simple. That's why people like Joe rogan.
Bill knows he doesn’t deserve his wealth as an entertainer. Instead of buying 100 houses for the homeless, he passes the responsibility and the blame up to “the system”, a faceless, nameless entity because he knows nothing will change, as he’s deathly afraid of losing his wealth. He feels guilty for having way more than he’ll ever need, but won’t part with the lifestyle to rid himself of the guilt. This type of virtue signaling makes him feel better, that’s all this is. I have a feeling Krystal doesn’t want to downgrade her lifestyle either. If every person living in abundance contributed all of the money they don’t need, homelessness would be solved.
@@BB-ed4om I don't really see the point you're making. Somebody who is somewhat rich personally redistributing their money, while maybe a nice gesture, doesn't solve systemic problems. Housing should be free period. If I had enough money to buy 100 $170,000 homes that would be an unoptimal use of money because housing is over priced.
The point of class redistribution is primarily to raise up the masses of labor. Bill burr and krystal are not on mass scale exploiting labor. And in a world of redistribution I don't care of they have less homes/cars or not
The simple point from 9 months ago is that people need figures they can look to for the ideas that lead them to pursue class organizing politics. You will likely not make it to that if you are unorganized, browbeat people, and have no popular sentiment
I think that at the core, Socialism is problematic because it confuses a gift with what is owed. My work and the fruit of my work belong to me. If I choose to share with others, that is often to my own advantage but I should be left to decide that without gov’t intrusion. I think Capitalism generally respects this right to my own labor and it’s benefits while giving me the option to either hoard or to be benevolent. Obviously, flawed and sometimes fiendish humans can corrupt any system and well-meaning people can improve the worst of conditions. However, that doesn’t mean that the overall philosophies don’t matter.
What are you talking about? In capitalism you share your profits with owners, you should be upset that you're having to share in this economic system. In socialism, the workers own the means of production and their labor, you share far less when you have the power and aren't giving that power and wealth to the already wealthy.
@@Alexander_Grant Imagine thinking that's actually how Socialism works in reality lmao
@@Alexander_Grant The reason the owner is called the owner, is because they own the means of production. The worker is merely sharing the profits of the owner. The worker doesn't pay for rent, the materials, the utilities and other costs involved in the production. The only thing the worker can sell, is their labor to the owner.
@@rleeg6744 That's one way to tell everyone you know nothing about politics or history.
@@Alexander_Grant This is the part where you claim that the Socialist countries weren't really Socialist and that the actual Socialist countries are Capitalist countries like Sweden.
One of the best Krystal segs I have ever seen. Well done!
Her argument didn’t make any sense though unless she’s distinguishing “capitalism” from “the free market”
When Krystal donates her millions and move into the inner city away from her gated suburban neighborhood then I’ll listen to a fake socialist again

She’s shitting on big Pharma. But wasn’t she bending over backwards for them not too long ago for the COVID vaccine? Funny how that works.
@@johngoldsworthy7135 never heard this one before
It's called self loathing, it's a thing now.
I wouldn’t call the system we have capitalism.
My favorite part about listening to people describe Capitalism is that they start defining Cronyism; and when people describe Socialism, they start defining Communism. Both are the extremes of each angle and everyone needs to realize a mixed economy is what keeps both sides in check
But that’s not really true. Every great economy became great thru free markets. Worked in rome, worked in Britain, worked in Russia, worked in China, worked in Japan, worked in pretty much every country that adopted free markets. Economies only start to faulter when you mix socialism into the mix. Even Marx admitted you needed capitalism in order to get to communism.
@@weignerleigner3037 Not necessarily; like I said there needs to be a check for unfettered free market capitalism so something like a monopoly doesn’t take over and squash out the little guys, and you don’t want full government control to stifle innovation and create bureaucracy road blocks and over regulate. There needs to be a balance with a heavy lean on free market ideals with government backstop for everyone to play fair
@@iTotallyKickass there’s never been a monopoly that has ever existed without govt help. And anytime there was a company able to capture a large market share like standard oil it was unions and competitors that complained about them not the consumer and even so they lost market share overtime naturally. If a company in a free market is able to get that large it’s because it is satisfying public need. What we have today isn’t a free market so any current example doesn’t really apply.

This has more to do with corruption in general than any sort of system.

@@nickc9070 No, not really. Nice try being profound though.
@@robes34 "Central characteristics of capitalism include capital accumulation..."
As Krystal said; profit at all costs. There is nothing in the definition of capitalism that says to be ethical. Your goal is to control the market and be a monopoly.
"In a market economy, decision-making and investments are *determined by owners of wealth, property, or ability to maneuver capital or production ability* in capital and financial markets-whereas prices and the distribution of goods and services are mainly determined by competition in goods and services markets."
Watch "Market Socialism vs Social Democracy | Krystal Kyle & Friends Podcast" on UA-cam. That is what Krystal is referring to when she says finding the best balance of capitalism and socialism aka social democracy.
It's not profound, it's simple.
Every person who is anti capitalism should just give up everything they have been able to earn in their lives. Money, houses, cars, investments. All of it. Then tell me that socialism is the way to go. Stupidity.
Why do so many of you make the exact, same, lazy argument. Post what you wrote on Google, you'll come up with hits that mirror your post.
You're all being duped and won't accept that truth. If so, fine, keep doing what you're doing if society doesn't matter to you.

You sound willfully ignorant. You are probably one of those people who thinks it is “unpatriotic” to be critical of capitalism. Also, I’m guessing you have a full time job decent paying job with benefits and no health issues. In our “awesome”capitalist system, you are in the minority, not because you work harder and “pulled yourself up by your bootstraps” but because you are lucky and had support of many along the way. This is the exception, not the rule. I work full time and have benefits but have had two surgeries this year. Even with “good” health insurance, and after paying thousands in premiums, copays and deductibles, I am on a payment plan for the next seven months to one hospital and two doctors. If I lived in most any other developed nation and many nations the US wants us to believe are inferior, I would have zero medical debt, sufficient paid time off to heal, and not have to use all of my vacation days as working vacation to make ends meet. I work for a company listed as one of the top 100 companies to work for according to Forbes. This year, I got a 2% pay raise even though my performance evaluation was “exceeds expectations “, inflation is+\- 7% and my company made 28% profit year over year. Step outside your little bubble and see the truth. The system is corrupt, capitalism in this form values profits above people, and commodification of basic human needs is not socialism, it is what decent, ethical nations and states do as a responsibility to it’s citizens.

@@Bobbysmith54999 and then there's Bob. Capitalism is a human construct, Bob, and a particularly remorseless one, at that. In its current western iteration it has tossed aside nearly every scruple on behalf of the incessant search for unsustainable returns. It is literally designed to view the sacrifice of payroll, the ruination of people (which it is unable to actually discern), as an opportunistic move towards greater profitability. This is indeed a human crisis, Bob: created by humans and perpetrated against humans. Blame is easily assigned.

Krystal's critique of capitalism is really just a critique of the state. If someone buys off a politician thats a fault of the political system, not the medium of exchange that facilitated it.
You dont think the system which facilitates such easy corruption (by funneling all resources to the top) has something to do with it? Really?
@@princejellyfish3945 The system facilitating corruption is the state. The politician takes the bribe regardless of whether I own private property.
@@Zachary-Daiquiri The bribe is meaningless in a system that doesn't reward unfettered corruption.
And the private firm doing the bribing would not have access to the resources which put them in a position to endlessly throw money at politicians without the system of private ownership of the means of production.
The state is literally created by this conglomeration of private firms who hold access to vital resources
@Prince JellyFish ... Jelly, your brain is flaccid. Do you ever reply with logical commentary? Where... in the core of the definition of Capitalism... do you interpret an inherent path for the funneling of resource?! The definition is brutally simple: privatization of production and distribution. Do not attach your artifice as a manner of rebranding. It is simply an elegant system that can be buoyed or sunken by the engagement of its citizenry and the robustness of its monetary-policy. Do not blame it for the failures that surround it.

Her big hypocrisy is the faux war against media outlets, when in fact 99% of her content is based on their hard work. What is "ripping the country apart" is the notion that citizens shouldn't engage with institutions with a goal of improvement.

Capitalism works. Capitalism with corporate handouts does not.
There should be a debate between Bill Burr, Sam Harris, Ben Shapiro on Capitalism. I would like to hear that one.
I don’t know about capitalism vs socialism, but it seems that all sorts of economic systems that have been tried out over history down to this day fall short in one way or another, to one degree or another. And what is more, no system contrived has eliminated human greed!
It seems fairly obvious to me a hybrid system has proven the best in terms of fulfillment and happiness for the most humans. Now the question if those hybrid systems can exist in a global economy without the capitalist hegemony to protect it from bad actors is another question.
Attempting to remove human greed is futile and defies nature.
Capitalism has many implementations, as does socialism. The problem is both are claimed as virtuous ideals and then are used to justify policies and laws that serve only a small minority. Capitalism in America has been claimed as the goal instead of the means to achieve the goals of our society. This has allowed politicians to subvert capitalistic forces where they obstruct the powerful and let it run rampant where it only hurts the powerless. In the same way that socialism and communism ended up perverted by the villains of the 20th century, we're now watching the villains of the 21st century increasingly manipulate capitalism in the same ways.
Democracies will probably always vote their way into cronyism all you have to do is promise people free money and you're in. What do they say every 250 years there's a revolutionary war? there's a reason why that continues to happen. all government systems are destined to fail cause people aren't perfect. Maybe anarchy is the way.
Real capitalism I.e a free market is just the natural state of things. It’s the best system there is. It must be coupled with good values and moral behavior though or it will degrade, like anything else.
"The problem is both are claimed as virtuous ideals and then are used to justify policies and laws that serve only a small minority."
That's actually a false equivalence: you're describing the current neoliberal / capitalist regime (see, e.g., Gary Gerstle's book on the history of neoliberalism); capitalism, by definition, is intended to serve a small minority; socialism is not.

Not sure how I feel about this video. I love the message, but Bill Burr along with the host obviously benefited from capitalism.
I've been watching recent videos of Detroit slums on UA-cam. Blocks and blocks of vacant burned out houses. My home town is unrecognizable thanks to the auto industry shipping jobs overseas or to Mexico. No remorse from those companies, just more profit.
Packard and Studebaker would have something to say about that.
Slums & vacant burned out homes have existed in Detroit since the 1960's, long before any jobs were shipped anywhere. Perhaps you'd want to look up the riots of 1967???
Segregation has more to do with that than the auto industry. White flight from Detroit left it 95% poor blacks thanks to the riots of the 60s. You won't find those burnt out blocks of vacant buildings in the suburbs of Detroit. That said, Detroit razed 1000s of houses and are renovating the nice ones. Detroit is coming back as money is coming back into the city from the suburbs.
@@YTSparty If it was about race, those factories would have moved to the suburbs, not to Mexico. Detroit made bad cars in the 70s and 80s. More Americans started buying imports, which were cheaper, more fuel efficient and oftentimes of better quality. None of that has anything to do with segregation.
@@YTSparty
Don’t blame the people who left (White flight), blame those that stayed and live there. Violent crime, failed schools, political corruption, complete filth, etc. same old pattern.
How does someone confuse blatant corruption with capitalism?
You seem to be confusing an inherent feature of capitalism for something else.
She didn't describe any corruption, it's all legal and good under our capitalist system. Regulate an industry in their favor and then later on get hired by them? Very capitalist. Why because money talks, legally that is. A company is a person, and can express their freedom with dollars. It isnt bribery, it's lobbying. It isn't corruption, it's capitalism.
@@phillipA123 China has a huge problem with corruption, in fact that is much worse there than it is here since the state is both the perpetrators of the apparatus, and also the solution.

@@acbower4468 "China sentences a lot of people to death."
Not as many as the USA. Nobody beats us in that. We just don't apply laws to the rich and powerful.
"corruption go away if their isn’t any reason"
Corrupt government is when elected officials and bureaucrats are acting capitalist, rather than being public servants. A corp is that by nature and law, as they have a duty to maximize profit. Corps would step in.
"contribute to local campaigns"..."someone get through the BS red tape"
You shouldn't need to have to pay bribes for that. We are in the computer age, and some of our huge tax burden should go to automating the red tape away. In many other countries you don't need to do your taxes, as its automatically done for you, you just check it over.
Every one seems to forget in most cases it's the people who run the system not just the system in and of it's self.

Your Radar's are usually excellent Krystal, but this one knocks it out of the park! Simply fantastic critique! Maybe you guys should invite Bill Barr on sometime...
As David Doer commented on his webcast, it's AUTHORITARIANISM that is the real fundamental problem -- the idea that sheeple are more than happy to evade their responsibilities as functional adults and happy to allow their chosen messiah to run the show -- and eventually the camps. The other -isms will simply take opportunistic advantage of the circumstances thus created.
.Keep on doing! Yours is a strong voice that needs to be heard!
I think that's the right word and the core problem behind our current iteration of capitalism, but Libertarians keep arguing that our corporate capitalist authoritarianism is actually just complete freedom. Plus, while Authoritarianism is accurate it doesn't have a concrete ring to it. There has to be something that captures this strange state we're in that people immediately understand. Something akin to a picture of Stalin with the phrase "Greed is good" attached to it. Oliver Stone inadvertently made Greed is Good a heroic mantra. Talk about a self inflicted wound. Can't even remember the name of Breaking Points when he goes on Joe Rogan. Something needs to change.

Sounds like Krystal and Bill's problem is with government corruption, not capitalism.
As a programmer, i approve of the "It's not a bug, it's a feature" reference used here. Though what IMHO the US is suffering from the most is missing features, not bugs. Those missing features are what we would call requirements, in legal terms laws and regulations. You can have capitalism as the underlying structure of your economy and still avoid (most of) massive inequality and profiteering destroying lives and livelihoods if you have tough but fair regulation which is enforced strictly. It's a balancing act i don't know if any country has gotten right, but i would point to the Scandinavian countries maybe being the ones doing the overall best balancing act. Coming out pretty well on most metrics as social democratic countries, though they have taken a bit of a neo-liberal and also right-populism turn the past decade though still social democratic societies that have a capitalist private sector and a fairly large decently funded public sector for governing and infrastructure (including health and education).

the USA is an Oligarchy.
Every example of Capitalist abuses are also Government failures. Homeless encampments are not capitalist failures, because everywhere capitalism is used, there are not homeless encampments. The homeless issue in this country is focused in only large metropolitan cities, that universally have liberal policies regarding the homeless.
Austin is a great example, liberal mayor allowed homeless issue to balloon. Then the mayor changed, and used government resources to move these people into unused buildings.
Capitalism requires a government that is willing and able to fix social issues and address corrupt business practices. Some level of corruption is inevitable, but what we have now is not inevitable.

Its not capitalism thats the problem it's corporate capitalism, cronyism.. thats the problem and thats what we have in the west. We don't have genuine free market capitalism that follow just laws to govern how capitalism should work. Ie no monopolies etc.
Great segment. This capitalism v. Socialism debate is ridiculous… it’s clearly a balance of both that we need. Corruption riddles our government and we need to know where we truly are to know what we can truly do. That is hard to do with the corruption.
Great segment my ass, it is a total display of ignorance to what capitalism is. Capitalism is private ownership of capital (money) in a market that is regulated by supply and demand. Money printing, subsidy, patents, bailouts and injections tear the free market down by using the forceful power of law (government) and redistributing tax for gov chosen entities. It is quite literally a forestep of socialism.
Many people seem to have this underlying viewpoint that the world works neatly, things are always some kind of good v evil therefore it's me v you. It's hardly ever so simple, and it's so unbelievably lazy to argue over. Also often leads to nothing being accomplished, or things being overcorrected, as I'm sure the upper echelon of society prefers lol
Corruption is a part of the human variable. It’s impossible to eradicate without oppression, which is corruption within itself. In an idealistic world, socialism is the fairest system. In reality humans are corruptible, which make socialism a terrible system since more people will be impacted by a corrupt centralized authority than would be impacted by a decentralized authority containing corrupt actors.
Why? Why not socialism? Why is it OBVIOUS we should blend the two? Capitalism is exploitation by its nature. Even in benevolent "social democracies" workers are exploited. You still have rich ceos, while the workers who provide labor for these do nothing ceos get chump change in comparison. There is no value without labor. Even with large unionization, the power imbalance is still present. While social democracies or "semi-socialist" dem soc countries are much better, they are not the end all be all and have all the same problems of capitalism. Capitalism needs to be rooted out and destroyed.

"We're trained to keep blinders on when it comes to the ills of American society, which are in part caused by capitalism."
Newsflash for Krystal: You're portraying a universal human tendency as uniquely American. It's the tendency of any dominant power. You should be asking yourself which economic or government system has proven most amenable to self-correction. Tens of millions of deaths in the 20th century have demonstrated the answer to that question. Your political self-awareness has been afforded by capitalism. Preface any criticism of capitalism with that fact, please.
and how many millions are suffering because of capitalism? Every starving family that we have the supplies to help, every opioid addict who was lied to about their medicine, nearly every modern war has been, at least in part, by capitalism. Every person in poverty in the richest country in the world. You're literally doing the thing Bill Burr mentioned.
