I’m so happy that people are finally paying Yanis the GOAT the attention he deserves. 🔥 Thanks to Professor Varoufakis, Mr. Varoufakis, whatever he’s going by now, for everything I’ve learned from him. This is the kind of discourse our society should be engaging in (& not even just the left, though I certainly agree with Varoufakis that the correct answers & analyses lie on the left).

Disappointing that only part of discussion was posted, cut off mid conversation. Can’t find the rest anywhere.

Gillian spot on.

Yeah checks and balances will solve all problems, and it's not like they are already implemented and haven't solved anything

[@Stoddardian]

@@ErkaaJ What are these "problems" that should be solved?

[@Stoddardian]

Capitalism is great because it's making me rich.
