  • Here’s a radical idea.
    Maybe, just maybe, workers should benefit from increases in technology instead of just wealthy CEOs.
    I talk to UAW President Shawn Fain about a 32-hour work week and how the UAW is leading a revitalized labor movement on the latest episode of my podcast: www.buzzsprout.com/2331318/15...

      Unions are no longer a legitimate compromise between worker and ownership classes. Worker cooperatives and government ownership /management of public goods / resources, plus full supply chain price control and a UBI, would go a long, long way to restoring democracy, a government FOR the people, etc.

      Still can't understand how everyone who's not very wealthy doesn't support him. Even people who were very upper middle class (or higher) have been bankrupted by things like cancer. Supporting Bernie Sanders' policies = supporting your own economic self-interest. But sadly, most people vote on social issues and/or are not very well-informed or interested in such things.

Also, Bernie Sanders Actually know his game. It's sad that the DNC Let him go because they think his ideas are too extreme besides the old age factor. If Bernie Sanders was running for President in 2016, Drumpf would've lost big time! in 2016, Let's just say Bernie would've gotten above 350 in the Electoral College if Hillary wasn't elected. Nominee All the States, Michigan, Pennsylvania and even Wisconsin wanted Mr. Bernie Sanders. In 2020, He had to give up and gave his Nominee status to Joe Biden because Sanders knew history will repeat itself, if he didn't concede his final run!

No other administration has done as much for average Americans in over half a century. Sure we deserve even better, but we'll never get that if we don't choose the best we can and reward good behavior. Criticizing bad behavior only works when good behavior is rewarded.

Now without 2 full time incomes you won't even qualify for a rental, you won't be able to pay car payments, and insurance. This year alone, home owners insurance went up 50%, and they are warning us to prepare for several years of increases like we have never seen before.

    The FIRST King discovered that if he told enough people that God had told him God wanted him to lead the people and be their King, that enough people were gullible enough to believe him and would follow him as their King. And not only that, but the people would work and produce crops and goods and services and give their wealth to the King, and the King and his Wife and Family would never have to do an honest day's work or anything productive and useful. And so it was! And other egotistical and conceited individuals soon learned that they could get people to believe they were special too. And that is how it began. That some people are privileged while the majority of people struggle their entire lives and never get ahead or have anything while a few have far more than any group of people could ever possibly need.

In other words we have to re-evaluate our priorities to live a truly rewarding life. I don't see a consumer based economy facilitating the change.

    Then why did most tech companies have to have mass layoffs because of the Chips Act? How can you show that they're producing more? They're produced by machines, it's not some 13 year old in a factory hand feeding thread into a spool anymore. Inflation is a lot worse then everyone says, we're going into a recession, I mean are you saying you'd completely neglect inflation, possibly increase it, and the only people we should be blaming are tech companies? They don't make up the CPI at all, I mean it's like you're trying to sabotage the last sector of the markets that has still kinda done well, along with Nancy Pelosi and her insider trading reports. Why is establishing socialism more important then individual issues where that isn't the crux of your argument?

      Better prevent all small businesses and employees from profiting off stocks or creating private equity. Lets make it about racism while we're at it, nobody has ever accused the government of utilizing bias for their own self interests before right? In God We Trust ✊️

    You know what’s a radical idea? How about I keep my money instead of giving it to Bernie to hand out to slackers.
