@GardenStateNJ27 Terrible. But most jobs are that kind of nature and low pay even if they aren't gig because America don't have industries and manufacturing.
People need to figure out that every time the minimum wage goes up the price of every has to go up more the that to cover that cost and the interest of those costs
The first four years of the New Deal (1933-1937) which improved the lot of working people and the aged more than any other program in the history of this country and built most of the infrastructure we're still using (which is now crumbling) cost less in adjusted 2024 dollars than the FY2024 Pentagon Budget... $840 billion.

The fact that we have Dr Wolf, Col McGregor, Dr Sachs, Scott Ritter, Dr Hudson and many more like them tells us that the USA has the answer to a large part of our problems if only we can be humble enough to include them in the running of the country.
lol. there are only 2 parties , both the same . . they both love war and industry war military always needs industry.. as long as you think of democracy as a game of sport with 2 teams, winners take all. . nothing will change. more parties that have diverse goals and needs that can organize as a block of votes and can negotiate with other parties to form a majority gives everyone representation. and progress happens through compromising. destroying the only other party when there are only 2 is expecting change is stupid.
Listen to me 25/30 years ago I would say to my wife,come listen to this guy speak he’s the only politician in Washington that speaks the truth about the current situations in this country! A Social Democracy or at the least RESTRICTED Capitalism. Bernie Sanders was kicked to the curb by the Corporate Democrats,look at where we are now 😡🤬🤬🤬the Democratic Party gave us Trump 😡
Notice that RW is fixated on the wealthy (the billionaires) and he blames all our ills on that group. Shouldn't he, however, be exploring something closer to home, meaning describing the conditions that allowed the current condition to develop? He rightly states that at the end of WW2, the US held all the cards. We had the majority of the world's gold, the only major undamaged industrial plant, a young and awake work force, the strongest navy and military, the bomb, a strong currency, and abundant food and natural resources. Did we take full advantage of our advantages and turn this to good purposes? We did not. Bretton Woods established the dollar as the world's reserve currency, and the dollar was tied to gold. For the next ~ 20 years, we had our somewhat uneven golden age, but it did not last. I would urge Richard to examine why. The rise of the Security-industrial-military-bureaucratic Deep State exactly coincides with the steady erosion of fiscal restraint. IF you allow evil people to gain control of the reins of government and give them the power to create money, they will abuse the opportunity. At the end of this period JFK is taken out, the LBJ-CIA-FBI are in control, the "War on Poverty" and Viet Nam are gutting budgets, the money is progressively debased, and we are losing our economic edge. Coincidence? No. Inflation, the intentional debasing of the currency by deficit spending and debt accumulation, enable all the other ills and tendencies to become lethal, systemic maladies. The widening wealth gap is a direct consequence of our fiat financial system. $7/hour used to be a VERY good wage. The key is understanding what that purchases. A typical salary in 1955 was $75 to $100 a week, or less than a couple bucks an hour. BUT......... prices were more or less stable back then, so a nickel would buy something. Billionaires were a VERY rare species. There are almost 800 Americans today that fill that bill, yet our national debt is +$35 trillion with much more in unfunded liabilities. Did this just happen, or was this a result of the conscious, intentional alliances of banks and the money creators, politicians, and the bureaucratic state that grows ever richer and more powerful as the private sector withers. Gee, how can we possibly figure this out??
Since people all over this country seem to be complaining about illegal aliens. They must be quite a large population. Imagine there was a large population of people who could not vote and had no protection by the law. What would you call them? Sounds like a collective servile class, an 1848 Proletarian. An enslaved class in areas without sanctuary protection. The stories of police brutality in this community must be magnitudes larger than the cases you focus on. Richard actually said something new Great interview taya. ⚒
no , but you are a slave. international slave labor usa debt slavery, oligarchs that own the politicians and own you. . and no movement to resist. talking about the corruption to democracy and the institutions does nothing , ths people are complacent. so you get the government you deserve. more important you get the quality of life you deserve. you have been privatized. corporations are people money is their political speach. you don't have representation because you don't have enough money to buy it.
@patriziacasagrande3833 I prefer prole, plebian or peon because I feel it discounts those who were held in chattel slavery in my country. This current system is so discouraging because it suggests that it is because I didn't/don't do enough when I know that I am being exploited.
Yeah the party that was supposed to care about us and make our lives better, instead they acted just like trump and often worse while doing the same things they complained about republicans doing. Trump is the political stick since the carrot of voting wasn't working.
Professor Wolf is a genius in clarity but he needs to keep his points concise to let the others say a word or ask a question. Trump voters are like a bunch of turkeys voting for Christmas.
So glad you had Dr. Wolff on. We have to be prepared to do more to expose this inequality in real terms that uninformed people can understand. Most people i know have no idea how the economy really works...
So sorry I missed the live! Thanks for what you do to spotlight inequity occurring & the way it shapes our perspective & outlooks... 💕 Dr Wolf as well... Thanks for the very insightful talk! Please don't 🛑!! Much love & peace!
Thank you all for this incredibly important discussion. Personally, I think that it makes me feel, not so powerless and that we have options to the status quo. Maybe we can muster the strength to put egalitarian policies into play for the betterment of society.
No. How people voted is pretty evident from the statistical data that is available from the state election administrations, after all we know who won. The question that needs answering is why people DIDN'T vote. Donald Trump saw no appreciable increase in the people who voted for him, nor an unexpected decrease. The only question that remains is why Kamala got such lousy turnout.
Is there a right way to use tariffs for the purpose of generating jobs and rebuilding our real goods economy as well as becoming sovereign for our basic needs so we are not vulnerable to supply chain disruption etc?

I understand the point being made about the ruling class stoking anger over the issue to sow division in the working class, which is absolutely true, but the way it was framed was extremely dismissive of trans people at a time when we are seriously worried about persecution under the trump administration... other than that it was a great talk

Yeah, that came out of left field. The same points could have been made without doing what Wolff did.
No. If it was the economy, Americans wouldn't have voted to elect a man that will make the economy dramatically worse. It wasn't "the economy stupid". It was just "the stupid". People voting against their own self interests due to a lack of education.

“The Election Ain’t Over” Greg Palast: New Details on Ballots Thrown Out Yall need to know about vigilante voter challenges and new Jim Crow Era games being played
Dr Wolff, when Tesla brings in Robotaxies, you can rent out your car most of the day when you don't need it. Since it's a self-driving vehicle, it comes home for your use. It will make money for you when you don't need it. I agree we still need to tax Billionaires fairly.
There's a lot more of us than there are of them, the problem is that oppression has been successfully abstracted, and culture war has occupied the discourse that should be occupied by class war. this is going to necessitate some uncomfortable partnerships, but they will feel a lot less uncomfortable if you go out into the real world and start engaging in actual real life organizing. build dual power. i understand that's not big enough, but it's somewhere to start, and position yourself towards an advantage when bigger things do start to get put on the table.
Who's going pick the lettuce? All the people about to be thrown off welfare. But Trump in his brutal simplistic logic is forgetting something, poor Americans might start leaving for Canada.
I was raised on the principles of the Great El' Hajj Malik Shabazz... I'm sure he would have loved the Wolff Man as I do! I dropped out of an "Ivy League" university and have NEVER regretted it! I've graduated top of my self education studies listening and learning from Dr. Richard Wolff. I've been watching this RNN video since 7:30a.m. this morning 😂! Can't get enough of his economic (reality) truth 🫶.
Start local. Organize nonpartisan issues based coalitions against the big money establishments of both political parties. Or at least start engaging people on those issues in a nonpartisan, nonideological way.
Tesla paid that loan back with interest ahead of time. Musk-led Tesla is fighting to save the atmosphere, and his Spacex is leading the world in rocket lift technology. Yes, we need to discuss all the inequalities, and the need to tax the rich corp. and Billionaires.
Regardless, China’s growth has been fueled by the same thing that fueled ours and is rapidly causing the climate system to become chaotic as the average global temperature keeps increasing……What exactly are they going to be the world leader of in 20 years?
Then join the people that want to decouple from them and bring manufacturing back to the US, with better environmental standards. Might be a bitter pill but it accomplishes the task.
You forget the occupation of Alaska by the empire of Japan but your right about USA coming out of world war 2 and now the American empire is falling it's done I've seen it and after 2008 bankers were saved I saw the end now it's going to end badly instead of slowly and gradually
My question is how much are electric cars scamming people because if they can't make a electric motor operate with such I low power use that it can run this long moving a car then that motor turning a generator that had a high output for low input it should run the car plus put extra so they shouldn't ever need charged but I believe it's because of the electric grid that keeps them from putting it out.
When you have a guest like Richard Wolff and you as a host insert a comment like I WILL HAVE TO AGREE WITH THAT...or I DON´T WANT TO SOUND ARROGANT ABOUT IT... you don't need to be a communicator expert to understand that you as a host or interviewer are trying to put yourself at the same level intelectually with your guest expert, which is kind of ridiculous, given the intelectual statute of, in this case, your guest. I kind of felt through out the interview with Dr. Richard Wolff that the interviewers were at times more interested in injecting or redirecting the conversation to issues different from the topic at hand... OTHERWISE IT WAS A GREAT INTERVIEW.
13:00 why didn't you address the correct remark about fascisme ? Which is what private public partnerships are. The state and private companies working hand in hand. Also it is to be expected the economy has evolved sooo much that this is one of last true fountains of gold
*epistemology* the philosophical study of the nature, origin, and limits of human knowledge. The term is derived from the Greek epistēmē (“knowledge”) and logos (“reason”), and accordingly the field is sometimes referred to as the theory of knowledge.
16:03 You keep repeating "conflict economies." It's just the hyperinflation and shrinkflation. And when we all did research, we saw Jimmy Carter similarities. That's it.

Long as people understand the economy is a hobby to keep busy. It's not a real or nessessary to live
The economy, stupid!
I thought it was the military industrial complex that emitted the most co2?
“The Election Ain’t Over” Greg Palast: New Details on Ballots Thrown Out
Yall need to know about vigilante voter challenges and new Jim Crow Era games being played
Trump won, get over it 😅!
Dr Wolff, when Tesla brings in Robotaxies, you can rent out your car most of the day when you don't need it. Since it's a self-driving vehicle, it comes home for your use. It will make money for you when you don't need it. I agree we still need to tax Billionaires fairly.
People adapt to climate they do not change climate
Americans cant find america on a map 😅 ofc they wont ever find ukraine on it.
There's a lot more of us than there are of them, the problem is that oppression has been successfully abstracted, and culture war has occupied the discourse that should be occupied by class war. this is going to necessitate some uncomfortable partnerships, but they will feel a lot less uncomfortable if you go out into the real world and start engaging in actual real life organizing. build dual power. i understand that's not big enough, but it's somewhere to start, and position yourself towards an advantage when bigger things do start to get put on the table.
Minimum wage probably works best per county.
Who's going pick the lettuce? All the people about to be thrown off welfare.
But Trump in his brutal simplistic logic is forgetting something, poor Americans might start leaving for Canada.
When slavery was abolished, democrats said; "who's going to pick the lettuce!"
I was raised on the principles of the Great El' Hajj Malik Shabazz... I'm sure he would have loved the Wolff Man as I do! I dropped out of an "Ivy League" university and have NEVER regretted it! I've graduated top of my self education studies listening and learning from Dr. Richard Wolff. I've been watching this RNN video since 7:30a.m. this morning 😂! Can't get enough of his economic (reality) truth 🫶.
And all you gotta do is sing a song
Import tax re industrialisation
Start local. Organize nonpartisan issues based coalitions against the big money establishments of both political parties. Or at least start engaging people on those issues in a nonpartisan, nonideological way.
Billionaires mix the water we swim in. The MAGA rural propaganda radio network.
Tesla paid that loan back with interest ahead of time. Musk-led Tesla is fighting to save the atmosphere, and his Spacex is leading the world in rocket lift technology. Yes, we need to discuss all the inequalities, and the need to tax the rich corp. and Billionaires.
when pearl harbor bombed it was not a state. so the usa was not bombed during the 2nd ww.
US bases and embassies are counted as US territory.
Pearl Harbor was a military base and in effect, property of the United States Navy. That was an attack on the United States
Regardless, China’s growth has been fueled by the same thing that fueled ours and is rapidly causing the climate system to become chaotic as the average global temperature keeps increasing……What exactly are they going to be the world leader of in 20 years?
Then join the people that want to decouple from them and bring manufacturing back to the US, with better environmental standards. Might be a bitter pill but it accomplishes the task.
Oh. Was expecting chris hedges. 🤦♀️ silly real news network
It was nevet too close to call. Harrison is unfit.
You forget the occupation of Alaska by the empire of Japan but your right about USA coming out of world war 2 and now the American empire is falling it's done I've seen it and after 2008 bankers were saved I saw the end now it's going to end badly instead of slowly and gradually
My question is how much are electric cars scamming people because if they can't make a electric motor operate with such I low power use that it can run this long moving a car then that motor turning a generator that had a high output for low input it should run the car plus put extra so they shouldn't ever need charged but I believe it's because of the electric grid that keeps them from putting it out.
@Professorwolf
Stop acting Like a liberal
When you have a guest like Richard Wolff and you as a host insert a comment like I WILL HAVE TO AGREE WITH THAT...or I DON´T WANT TO SOUND ARROGANT ABOUT IT... you don't need to be a communicator expert to understand that you as a host or interviewer are trying to put yourself at the same level intelectually with your guest expert, which is kind of ridiculous, given the intelectual statute of, in this case, your guest. I kind of felt through out the interview with Dr. Richard Wolff that the interviewers were at times more interested in injecting or redirecting the conversation to issues different from the topic at hand... OTHERWISE IT WAS A GREAT INTERVIEW.
13:00 why didn't you address the correct remark about fascisme ? Which is what private public partnerships are. The state and private companies working hand in hand.
Also it is to be expected the economy has evolved sooo much that this is one of last true fountains of gold
*epistemology* the philosophical study of the nature, origin, and limits of human knowledge. The term is derived from the Greek epistēmē (“knowledge”) and logos (“reason”), and accordingly the field is sometimes referred to as the theory of knowledge.
16:03 You keep repeating "conflict economies." It's just the hyperinflation and shrinkflation. And when we all did research, we saw Jimmy Carter similarities. That's it.
