honestly that would be an awesome life. I started doing business certifications on Harvard's website. Everyone should never stop learning. I think that is what keeps us young.
I worked in Agriculture for 38 years. When I was with Del Monte,Oahu plantation, (@9 years 1986-1978) we were bought out by Reynolds (the tobacco company). They showed us a movie that expressed upper managements perspective that we were slaves building their pyramid. Can you believe it? Then the corporate raider kohlberg Kravis bought us and chopped the company up, closing the cannery and Molokai plantation . I’m learning a lot. I was an Ag student and took Ag Economics. I had two other economics courses one in high school and one in college.I’m looking forward to learning the ropes on policy. I get so many requests from charities for financial assistance. It seems hunger and poverty is increasing. Thank you for allowing us to attend your lectures.
Last year I returned to Atlanta the first time in 10 years. I had to work north of Marietta and I was surprised to see a 1-lane elevated toll road parallel to I75. At the end of the trip I wanted to take MARTA downtown to see my family. The closest station was at Midtown 10th St. It was clear the local government of Marietta wanted to exclude “those people” who couldn’t afford a good car and tolls. What a waste of public $ to only benefit a few and they still had the traffic issues to prove it was a waste.
This lecture solidifies for me the reason why I am proud to be Canadian and would never choose to be an American. I was born in a remote wilderness community, in a troubled family which was at the economic bottom. Yet I received an excellent education. There was never any question that I could go as far as I wanted if I chose to study --- the public schools are attended by rich and poor, and the regional differences in their quality are not great. A majority of Canadians have post-secondary degrees, or on track to get them. Today, I live in the inner core of Canada's largest city. My neighbourhood is overwhelmingly populated by recent immigrants, mostly from Africa, Latin America, East Asia, and the Middle East. Many are refugees. The city is undergoing a housing crisis because it offers spectacular economic opportunities and people are pouring in faster than housing can be built. The majority of the metropolitan area is foreign born, and a majority is not "white." All these people, whatever their origin, have access to excellent public schools, public libraries, and urban amenities. Private schools exist, for a small number, but most wealthy people, most business leaders, politicians, cultural figures, or technical professionals attended ordinary public schools. The hospitals are among the best in the world --- in fact the city hosts three of the top ten in the world. And when I, who have always worked as an ordinary labourer by choice and live in a small apartment, was recently diagnosed with cancer, was immediately treated in one of the most advanced facilities --- paid for by the province's universal insurance. There was never "redlining," or segregation. The city manager who created the city's advanced (for the time) public utilities back in the period before World War 1 was the son of slaves who escaped from the U.S. via the Underground Railway. Canadians are twice as likely to move up a bracket from their parents as Americans are. They are twice as likely to start a business or strike out in a new direction. Canada has injustices and poverty, too, and is not entirely free of racism. But our rule book wasn't written to turn the country into a rigid caste society, such as the U.S. is fast becoming. We are not trying to be Russia, North Korea or Iran --- or whatever monstrous dystopia the GOP is planning for Americans. If you guys aren't using the Statue of Liberty, and don't want it as a reminder of past abandoned ambitions, there's a nice place for it in the harbour a short bike ride from where I live. It'll look nice in front of the supertalls.
Except Canada forcing everyone to fit into mediocre regulated boxes funded by high taxes has resulted in nearly everyone being poor. The vast majority of younger Canadians stand no chance at owning homes and having kids. It's largely a slave society and welfare state. The Canadian dream is to leave Canada. It just sounds like you;re buying CBC propaganda hook line and sinker.
These students are getting a crucial education at a crucial time in their lives. For me, that's as enjoyable to watch as the lectures themselves (thank you, UCB).
Thank you UCB and Professor Reich for sharing this very important discussion with us. I am thankful to be learning about a subject that I never really studied. I appreciate your thoughtful yet poignant teaching style. God bless you!
whine? LOL. only a fool listens to someone as partisan and dishonest as Robert Reich. Thomas sowell would destroy Robert in a debate. But notice-- Robert does lots of speeches and almost no debates. Liars don't want to be challenged -- thus why AOC wouldn't even debate Ben Shapiro for charity. LoL . such cowards live on the left. @@thedungeoneer101
Once again I am so happy that Professor Reich has put his course online.😊 However, I do want to add something... the difference between the gated community and the ungated one, hinged on really really big differences - apparent guaranteed private safety and not guaranteed public safety. The guaranteed safety was paid for by members of the community. Who is paying for the "public" sketchy safety?....isnt it also the community? Personally, I would choose to live in the non-gated community where there is diversity. That's one of the things that, in my opinion, makes the world beautiful!
This is incredible. I had heard of many of these phenomena before, but this lecture weaves them together masterfully. Most impressively, the while thing is infused with hope.
A very clear presentation of the sorting and segregation of wealth and and poverty. Also the government laws and regulation that were forcing the segregation.
wow, this was the best one yet. Can't wait to hear the next. BTW, if anyone is reading, I posted a link to these elucidating and interesting classes to my friends on FB about a week ago. To date, not one response! And I'd say that at least half of them are college educated people. Woe is us!
I will occasionally post links to some Amazing Hidden brain podcasts. And I get 1 or 2 comments. Pics of me all looking good : 50-60+ comments (& hundreds of likes). Kind of (unfortunately imo) shows us what our society cares about At least we r here ‘attending’ free lecture:)
0:38: 💡 Globalization and technological change contribute to widening inequality of income and wealth, emphasizing the importance of education. 07:20: 📍 Geographic mobility in the US is declining, leading to widening inequalities of place. 14:04: ! The video discusses the concept of public schools that are actually private and the funding of public schools by states. 20:15: 📊 There is a substantial difference between two school systems, one with a high dropout rate and the other with a low dropout rate, in San Francisco. 26:33: 🎙 The video discusses the impact of losing manufacturing and tax base on the town of Flint, leading to a loss of jobs and public services. 33:44: 🔑 The video discusses the factors of racism, class, and economics in the division between communities. 40:14: 📺 The video discusses the reasons behind the economic disparities faced by black people in the United States, focusing on laws and regulations as well as the legacy of such policies. 46:55: 🏘 Laws and regulations have made it difficult for Black and Latino families to accumulate wealth in housing, leading to increased racial segregation. 54:50: 🎓 Graduates from the best public university have more choices and opportunities. 1:02:57: 🌍 The video discusses the subjectivity and value-laden nature of immigration policies and the impact of sorting on nations globally. 1:10:30: 🗽 The ideal of the United States as a land of opportunity for all has not been fully realized, as current immigration policies prioritize wealth and income over compassion. Recap by Tammy AI
The property tax rate on that house is 8%. Prop 13 limits it to around 1.1% which would be roughly 1650/year but you would never find a 150 k house anywhere in California. A million dollar home in CA would have around 12,000/yr property tax at Prop 13 rates
Also one more thing, as for the public vs private school question, I chose B simply because $16,000 covers both living and education while A only covers education with the same quality. It’s totally an economic decision. So I would suggest to revise that question a little bit to truly reflect the intent.
Living with families with different education and customs or less education along with lower purchasing power can cause difficulties which may cause serious problems in the communities.
One thing that is crucial to remember is that ending up in abject poverty in the USA or being very poor usually has to do with having: no high school diploma/GED, having babies before marriage, and being a single parent. When you look at black families that are married, they actually on average make MORE money than married white families. If I recall correctly at present 75% of black babies are born out of wedlock. The more out of wedlock babies are born, the higher the rates of poverty. Most criminals in prison came from fatherless homes. When you look at all races of prisoners and look for prisoners from fatherless homes you immediately see the racial disparities disappear and it appears to be a fatherless issue not a race issue. Asian families for example have more babies born in wedlock than whites, and unsurprisingly they have less poverty and do better than whites. Asians also commit fewer crimes than whites. Maybe a long time ago there was more racism involved with communities, but as long as I have been alive (I was born in 1985 and am mixed race), I haven't seen that poverty is caused by racism. I see rather a cultural issue as ALL races with higher rates of marriage do better. Of course there are totally other inequalities and issues which I understand. I came from a less than ideal background and had to claw my way up to being middle class. What I am saying though, is that we need to consider things like the issues of out of marriage births and multi generational welfare as a way of life into the equation along with all the excellent points prof Reich makes. A coin has three sides: front, back, and the edge! I listen to all sides of the spectrum from folks like Reich to libertarians like Thomas Sowell and Milton Friedman. I see common patterns and truth in all of these different view points and arguments. Milton Friedman's PBS tv mini series from the 1980s called "Free to Choose" is on youtube, and he makes some excellent points about economies and how they function just as Reich does. In general if you will take note, government policy is the underlying issue that creates the most difficult to overcome issues with inequality. I think government should lay fair and basic rules, and otherwise stay away because they cause more harm than good, and usually use their power to help the elites and harm the rest of us more often than not. We all deserve an equal playing field, but not necessarily equal outcome depending upon what choices we make for our lives and what we prioritize. I have a deep distrust of the govt as I have seen it mostly cause harm with its biased policies that hurt the common citizen during my lifetime.
Thanks for the straight Truth I couldn't quite get out of my parent's generation (Gen X here). Invaluable information for all, especially for young people.✌️
My girlfriend is a women's and children's rights activist and government official from her home country in East Africa. Do to the civil war in her home country and her politics and ethnicity the government there wanted to put her in jail where she would have been raped and tortured. She was able to quickly gather up a suitcase of some of her belongings and get on a flight to the country where she had a diplomatic visa, unfortunately for her that country was the United States. Just to give you some context, the last time she used that visa she was speeking at the UN Women's Conference. She has been in this country for three years and she is still waiting to have her asylum case heard, even though she has mountains of evidence on her side including the warrant for her arrest in her home country. This woman was responsible for getting FGM and child marriage illegalised in her home country. She should be welcomed in this country as a God dammed hero, but is instead working in elder care for poverty wages despite having a master's degree in cultural anthropology. The immigration system in the US is beyond broken and deserving people are left the victims in it. I really wish she could have gone to Northern Europe instead, even if that meant I would have never have known her and trust me, I love her more than anything in this world. My only hope is that maybe marriage could keep her with me, though the logistics aren't working in our favor right now financially. There are times that leave me with rage as to what this country has become.
Keep looking forward , it sounds like both you and your wife made good choices and have a lot going for you despite the circumstances. With her background there may be organizations that would sponsor . Keep pushing and keep your options open. Wishing you both the best
@@lazerwolf001 Thak you for your kind words. I probably said too much. I don't think she would appreciate me giving most of those details. I was feeling upset when he bought up immigration. It just reminded me of how unfair and broken the system is and it really hit me inside. I think we are getting things moving in the right direction direction now.
@@lazerwolf001 Something else I should keep into perspective. If it's this hard going through the asylum process for someone with her background, just imagine what it is like for the average asylum seeker without her status. The previous administration took what was already a broken system and completely smashed it to Hell.
@@spacechimp6442 And, why we have so many "illegal" immigrants. Anytime I hear someone complain about the "illegal" immigrants I say do you have any idea how hard it is to gain status here? How many thousands of dollars & paperwork & years it takes? When you're in a crisis you need to survive! I have empathy, not judgment.
8:05 they have to stay to take carr of sick and disabled persons or they dont want to move too far away because of fear of being alone without family lower income have more ties to family and some of the people are the main bread winners for their families as well but also housing discrimination occurs 😮
My opinion is that autocratic governments do not like individuals to think this way. As in, have the ability to think like this and question the laws and regulations governing U.S. And thereby vote to change the laws and regulations "we" deem unjust.
Autocracy is alive and well all over the world right now. And, yes, the message being rang home in this class should be elevated across all information sharing/media and news platforms. Unfortunately, this type of thinking is, rather, suppressed, and we are told to focus on issues that win elections; i.e, immigration, law and order, identity politics, etc.
9:46 ❤i wanted to move for better opportunities so i came here from California because i couldn't get hired with my locks and my background ✔️ although i graduated with honors
The North Hills of Pittsburgh has a very white, public-private school district. Subways, trains, and mass transit are very much frowned upon. "If we built that infrastructure then "those other people" would have a way out here. And we know that they would date our daughters, sell drugs, rob our homes, and shoot or stab our sons. "They" might even want to live "here". "We" earned the right to live "here". "We" worked so hard to get away from "there". The rural high school that I attended graduated 75 students in my senior year. (would have been 83 but there was that nasty rash of pregnancies ). The public-private school district "here" graduates 1000 students per year. My tiny, rural, school district had MORE people of color graduating/year than "our" huge public-school district. fact that the "here" graduates 15 times as many students per year, has not been lost upon me. The only reason that there are any of "those people " out "here" is because professional athletes from the Pirates and the Steelers (people of color that also have money) settle out "here". That is so that "their kids" can get a better education and meet the "right people". Why I am "here" is another story for another day.
Also, on what planet are you finding condos or houses for 150k in good areas and private schools for 16k /year?! I would like to move there wherever that is
The federal government is STILL decimating black neighborhoods. Example: the proposed rerouting of a much wider I-45 through Houston TX is decimating and dividing the remaining black neighborhoods. Chicago is the third largest metro area in the US and Houston or Dallas/FtWorth is the fourth largest metro area, depending on the metric you measure by. So your argument at 55:39 kind of falls flat. Typical of the North-Eastern mindset, where Bagdad is closer to NYC than Houston - as far as the news-reporting goes. For time stamp 1:06:37 and the banning of criminals...and prostitutes in 1870 [after the Civil war]: These French immigrants, Creoles and Cajuns, made New Orleans, LA. They are US citizens. The Affordable Care Act saved my life. Before then, I was uninsurable and forced to make a living as a freelancer. No one would or could hire me. Now I'm getting my surgeries to live a healthy life - especially now that Medicare kicks in.
Why do we choose segregation? When I see films like Erin Brockovich and The Pelican Brief , it strengthens my thesis that we chose the path of violence instead of the path of peace when the Earth's climate became stable about 12,000 years ago. It can explain the oligarchic system we have, where it is necessary to keep 90% of the people away from the most of the resources/money. A simple economy that strives to accept an ideal where lying, killing, etc. are richly rewarded. What I am looking for is instead to develop the idea of democracy and what it would do to us humans and to our leadership and investments in developing a peaceful world. Utopia?
Which flavour of Utopia would you choose? The one that coined the word by Thomas Moore? Perhaps one of the others like New Atlantis by Thomas Bacon, Brave New World by Aldous Huxley or Das Kapital by Karl Marx? There is a reason it is called Utopian Fiction. Perfection is a pipe dream peddled by the religious and other con artists. Good enough is what we should be striving for not perfection which does not exist.
1:01:05 That's a very gendered question. Women marry for long term provisioning advantages (amongst other), so they are less willing to marry a man who has LESS resources than her. And a higher education is related to higher earns However men, do not marry a woman for provisioning advantages, (and especially she is unlikely to marry him if she earns more, even IF he was trying to marry for provisioning advantages), so her education is far less a concern for him when considering who he will marry. Edit: and measuring that by "marriage" is not a sensible anyway, as more couples now are now living together/starting families, now without involving the government with the "marriage agreement".
@ 39:09 let the education material be recorded by the less successful county( needy one) and have a alternative method to the results of the investment of the richer county( have the lowest result school use a delegate of teachers to understand and update methods) track via independent testing probably @ this level adapt supports from educational resources at the next levels of government ( state federal if necessary) avoid the small minded clingy and well off citizens let the results of delivery cause too much merits( hopefully) as not to be denied
What if moving to a high-income neighborhood means making sacrifices that some people don't choose to make? Is being less wealthy a reasonable choice, and is it still a problem to have the inequality that comes of it? And is it reasonable to want to find the best of both worlds?
Maybe I am nitpicking, but I think the last stat of the Oakland/Piedmont comparison table (i.e., school suspensions in the '20-'21 school year) is a bit disingenuous. The only reason to include that stat is to show that students in each school district are similar in terms of behavior despite their significant economic disparity. Otherwise why include it? But the thing is, that's the lockdown COVID year. You can't be suspended from a school that no one is allowed to go to lol. Of course that year is going to read "0%" for both Oakland and Piedmont. I'm very curious what the suspension rates were like before and after the lockdown.
Amazing amount of relevant information, as usual. One of the issues, too, is crime rate, and one wonders why impoverished people pick on each other that way because it does not benefit them or anyone else, the "Section 8" stereotype of Black kids swarming ATVs in the inner city is sure not going to desegregate housing, for example. FOlks with funds will do anything they can to prohibit that kinds of activity, rightly so, but it extends out into generalized discrimination against Blacks, especially poor ones. Thanks, Professor, for another great lecture.
"Flourishing"? The great lakes are warming up leading to algae blooms. And because the great lakes region initially looks so appealing many people will be moving there, increased population, traffic, affordable housing shortages...warmer climate also means longer tick season...and other bad news thanks to climate change.
This is being voted on in the City of Mobile today. The city wants to incorporate or annex other parts of the county. As the City provides fire and police 3 miles outside of those limits.
I appreciate the data shown by the professor and respect his views and values, although I do not agree with most of his points in this lecture. I do think we need to do something to help the poor tax district especially with k12 education but it shouldn’t be like simply merging the district with the rich one and giving them money unconditionally. A long term plan should be developed and the required achievements and milestones must be clearly specified and ensured to be objectively measurable, and if they cannot be achieved for whatever reason some higher management people from the poor tax district should be held accountable and the aid may be terminated. I’m still against illegal immigrants though I agree it’s not fair to blame them for all kinds of problems here. The statement that only native Americans have some stand for complaining immigrations does not make sense. Native Americans also fought hard against invaders, and although they did have welcomed some explorers and settlers as well, it’s not like they just accepted every single foreigner coming over. Now the U.S. is pretty much following the same philosophy and so there is nothing wrong with it. Also back then there was no country in north America continent and so it was a totally different situation, so not really comparable. In addition, according to the professor poor tax districts were primarily caused by laws and legislations (which I don’t buy 100%, only partially, but that’s a long story and kind of irrelevant so I won’t elaborate here) but illegal immigrants were not, so there is no good reason to just take them unconditionally. I think US doesn’t necessarily need to take only the rich and highly skilled immigrants but definitely they should have the skills needed here AND agree with the basic values and principles of the U.S.

The stock market corporation's greed for dividends to those who can even afford to buy stock is the major factor for inequality. Those corporations cannot increase wages to the workers at the expense of those dividends they want to increase.

The class has over 500 students and interact during breakout discussion sections. The reality of public education = huge lecture halls and large class sizes. Direct interaction with professors is available during office hours.
@@keithchun9107 then just send the students a UA-cam link and tell them to come by during office hours if they have questions. That will save a lot of the professor's time that he can use for more office hours. But usually when one atudent has a question, several others have the same question, so spending a few minutes during class interacting with the students is a good use of time.
I had no idea about the local revenue aspect of public schools. Wow. Then add "NO Child Left Behind" BS legislation and teacher pay per performance, there's very little hope for impoverished kids. :(
He has put forward the compelling case. There's always a danger in saying things that make you seem sympathetic, gain you friends, and which sound good. However Sowell teaches us to think of things differently. There are several countries in which the government has had no part in enforcing segregation at all. Unless you compare those countries with the US, you cannot say that the policies in the US were the cause. Obvious examples might be the numerous 'chinatowns' in places like Manchester, UK, or Jewish communities in London. People choose to segregate based on differences which have nothing at all to do with the government, and everything to do with culture. Other examples exist here in New Zealand. We have very few black people at all. You can easily go a year without seeing a black face. The ones we do have tend to be recent immigrants, and are disproportionately wealthy and well-educated, so they cluster into wealthy neighbourhoods. Systemic racism might well still exist, however they are probably not the cause of much at all, and where it does exist, the level of effect is probably much smaller than the average activist would have you believe.
There’s not a law on the books that supports you progressive fools that claim “systemic racism”. It’s such a pathetic claim from desperate progressives. Puke.
One thing that this guy doesn’t admit nor mention is that the wealth and safety of a place is a reflection of its people’s culture. For example, if certain Asian people are culturally harder-working and less prone to participate in violent street crime, an area inhabited by those Asian people is going to be more prosperous and safe than other places.

I am sorry Robert, that your family was treated to abominally by christians. As a Christian, I am appalled, embarrassed, horrified that they behaved in such an un-Christ-like manner.Terrible
So am I, but I believe his "long pause" style of presentation has been his technique for lecture delivery for many years. Might be an artiface of trying to ensure the slowest of his students can grasp his message....unfortunately when the pauses are too long, my mind drifts away from his presentation. I fill his silence gaps with thoughts outside of his topic, drift off to sleep, or start to wonder why he is taking so long to finish a sentence with concepts that could have been much better/quicker/or entertainingly presented.
Go to your UA-cam settings and increase playback speed. In the classroom, a teacher is smart to pause, it enables the students to make notes before moving on the other topic.
@@thehylers1021 Thanks....I belileve you are correct. However, his pauses are at "odd" locations (IMHO) because he doesn't complete his sentences.... the thoughts he wishes to convey aren't expressed in notable clumps. Instead, the pauses appear more for dramatic effect than notetaking convenience.
Why/how is he a hypocrite? He is merely sharing information. He is not telling anyone what to do. If you were in his position you would expect to be paid accordingly and I expect he lives within his means. You would also charge what those engaging your services are willing to pay for your skills and experience. Nowhere is he telling us to do otherwise.
I totally get this but how is socialism a good solution to the problem? I work as a janitor and I know that if we replaced our current system with a socialist one I would still be working as a janitor and still not making a lot of money.
I would counter with the fact that we already have "socialism," but for the wealthy. Consider what's happening with the education system and school vouchers. Essentially, the voucher works as a tax credit or subsidy for private schools. There are plenty of other examples of this kind of unfair play at work: corporate bailouts, tax credits and infrastructure investments (lots of this in the oil industry, but it's really all over), etc. As a janitor, it's possible that you may be able to demand higher wages through worker-rights expansion and collective bargaining; you may be able to have access to affordable healthcare equal to that of the wealthiest individuals (a single payer system is my preferred way of doing this); you may be able to, should you choose, attend university or other job/skill training programs at no cost; and, etc. I don't want to say that socialism is THE or ONLY way to address the issues discussed in this class, but it does offer possibilities. Of course, there may be other ways to achieve similar goals. I just want to make clear that "socialism" exists within this country and operates quite well within our governmental policies. The issue to be understood is simply, who benefits from it: poor folks who lose access to education, healthcare, and infrastructure and services; or, wealthy corporations who avoid paying taxes, operate as adversaries to workers and their rights, and lobby governments to enforce policy that allow them to protect and dramatically increase profit consolidation amongst the very wealthiest. Cheers

And when I, who have always worked as an ordinary labourer by choice and live in a small apartment, was recently diagnosed with cancer, was immediately treated in one of the most advanced facilities --- paid for by the province's universal insurance. There was never "redlining," or segregation. The city manager who created the city's advanced (for the time) public utilities back in the period before World War 1 was the son of slaves who escaped from the U.S. via the Underground Railway. Canadians are twice as likely to move up a bracket from their parents as Americans are. They are twice as likely to start a business or strike out in a new direction.
Canada has injustices and poverty, too, and is not entirely free of racism. But our rule book wasn't written to turn the country into a rigid caste society, such as the U.S. is fast becoming. We are not trying to be Russia, North Korea or Iran --- or whatever monstrous dystopia the GOP is planning for Americans.
If you guys aren't using the Statue of Liberty, and don't want it as a reminder of past abandoned ambitions, there's a nice place for it in the harbour a short bike ride from where I live. It'll look nice in front of the supertalls.
Canada is not out of the scene, look at what you guys did to all the indigenous people that live there. Canada is no different than America.😊
Except Canada forcing everyone to fit into mediocre regulated boxes funded by high taxes has resulted in nearly everyone being poor.
The vast majority of younger Canadians stand no chance at owning homes and having kids. It's largely a slave society and welfare state. The Canadian dream is to leave Canada. It just sounds like you;re buying CBC propaganda hook line and sinker.

Once again I am so happy that Professor Reich has put his course online.😊
However, I do want to add something... the difference between the gated community and the ungated one, hinged on really really big differences - apparent guaranteed private safety and not guaranteed public safety. The guaranteed safety was paid for by members of the community. Who is paying for the "public" sketchy safety?....isnt it also the community?
Personally, I would choose to live in the non-gated community where there is diversity. That's one of the things that, in my opinion, makes the world beautiful!
This is incredible. I had heard of many of these phenomena before, but this lecture weaves them together masterfully. Most impressively, the while thing is infused with hope.

A recap well done. Thank you Tammy AI! Where can I find you?

But we are THE UNITED STATES, United we stand , divided we fall. !!!!
Thank you, Professor.
I wonder how many of those kids have even been to any of the places they reject out of hand.
The property tax rate on that house is 8%. Prop 13 limits it to around 1.1% which would be roughly 1650/year but you would never find a 150 k house anywhere in California. A million dollar home in CA would have around 12,000/yr property tax at Prop 13 rates
Also one more thing, as for the public vs private school question, I chose B simply because $16,000 covers both living and education while A only covers education with the same quality. It’s totally an economic decision. So I would suggest to revise that question a little bit to truly reflect the intent.
This is great teaching!
Living with families with different education and customs or less education along with lower purchasing power can cause difficulties which may cause serious problems in the communities.
One thing that is crucial to remember is that ending up in abject poverty in the USA or being very poor usually has to do with having: no high school diploma/GED, having babies before marriage, and being a single parent. When you look at black families that are married, they actually on average make MORE money than married white families. If I recall correctly at present 75% of black babies are born out of wedlock. The more out of wedlock babies are born, the higher the rates of poverty. Most criminals in prison came from fatherless homes. When you look at all races of prisoners and look for prisoners from fatherless homes you immediately see the racial disparities disappear and it appears to be a fatherless issue not a race issue.
Asian families for example have more babies born in wedlock than whites, and unsurprisingly they have less poverty and do better than whites. Asians also commit fewer crimes than whites. Maybe a long time ago there was more racism involved with communities, but as long as I have been alive (I was born in 1985 and am mixed race), I haven't seen that poverty is caused by racism. I see rather a cultural issue as ALL races with higher rates of marriage do better. Of course there are totally other inequalities and issues which I understand. I came from a less than ideal background and had to claw my way up to being middle class. What I am saying though, is that we need to consider things like the issues of out of marriage births and multi generational welfare as a way of life into the equation along with all the excellent points prof Reich makes. A coin has three sides: front, back, and the edge! I listen to all sides of the spectrum from folks like Reich to libertarians like Thomas Sowell and Milton Friedman. I see common patterns and truth in all of these different view points and arguments. Milton Friedman's PBS tv mini series from the 1980s called "Free to Choose" is on youtube, and he makes some excellent points about economies and how they function just as Reich does.
In general if you will take note, government policy is the underlying issue that creates the most difficult to overcome issues with inequality. I think government should lay fair and basic rules, and otherwise stay away because they cause more harm than good, and usually use their power to help the elites and harm the rest of us more often than not. We all deserve an equal playing field, but not necessarily equal outcome depending upon what choices we make for our lives and what we prioritize. I have a deep distrust of the govt as I have seen it mostly cause harm with its biased policies that hurt the common citizen during my lifetime.
Thanks for the straight Truth I couldn't quite get out of my parent's generation (Gen X here).

Can you explain the federal reserve and money? I know people who think money is just printed off and thrown into circulation. I need help.
My girlfriend is a women's and children's rights activist and government official from her home country in East Africa. Do to the civil war in her home country and her politics and ethnicity the government there wanted to put her in jail where she would have been raped and tortured. She was able to quickly gather up a suitcase of some of her belongings and get on a flight to the country where she had a diplomatic visa, unfortunately for her that country was the United States. Just to give you some context, the last time she used that visa she was speeking at the UN Women's Conference. She has been in this country for three years and she is still waiting to have her asylum case heard, even though she has mountains of evidence on her side including the warrant for her arrest in her home country. This woman was responsible for getting FGM and child marriage illegalised in her home country. She should be welcomed in this country as a God dammed hero, but is instead working in elder care for poverty wages despite having a master's degree in cultural anthropology. The immigration system in the US is beyond broken and deserving people are left the victims in it. I really wish she could have gone to Northern Europe instead, even if that meant I would have never have known her and trust me, I love her more than anything in this world. My only hope is that maybe marriage could keep her with me, though the logistics aren't working in our favor right now financially. There are times that leave me with rage as to what this country has become.
Keep looking forward , it sounds like both you and your wife made good choices and have a lot going for you despite the circumstances. With her background there may be organizations that would sponsor . Keep pushing and keep your options open. Wishing you both the best

@@lazerwolf001 Something else I should keep into perspective. If it's this hard going through the asylum process for someone with her background, just imagine what it is like for the average asylum seeker without her status.

My opinion is that autocratic governments do not like individuals to think this way.
As in, have the ability to think like this and question the laws and regulations governing U.S.
And thereby vote to change the laws and regulations "we" deem unjust.
Autocracy is alive and well all over the world right now. And, yes, the message being rang home in this class should be elevated across all information sharing/media and news platforms. Unfortunately, this type of thinking is, rather, suppressed, and we are told to focus on issues that win elections; i.e, immigration, law and order, identity politics, etc.
9:46 ❤i wanted to move for better opportunities so i came here from California because i couldn't get hired with my locks and my background ✔️ although i graduated with honors
The North Hills of Pittsburgh has a very white, public-private school district. Subways, trains, and mass transit are very much frowned upon. "If we built that infrastructure then "those other people" would have a way out here. And we know that they would date our daughters, sell drugs, rob our homes, and shoot or stab our sons. "They" might even want to live "here". "We" earned the right to live "here". "We" worked so hard to get away from "there".
The rural high school that I attended graduated 75 students in my senior year. (would have been 83 but there was that nasty rash of pregnancies ). The public-private school district "here" graduates 1000 students per year. My tiny, rural, school district had MORE people of color graduating/year than "our" huge public-school district. fact that the "here" graduates 15 times as many students per year, has not been lost upon me. The only reason that there are any of "those people " out "here" is because professional athletes from the Pirates and the Steelers (people of color that also have money) settle out "here". That is so that "their kids" can get a better education and meet the "right people".
Why I am "here" is another story for another day.
Also, on what planet are you finding condos or houses for 150k in good areas and private schools for 16k /year?! I would like to move there wherever that is
The federal government is STILL decimating black neighborhoods. Example: the proposed rerouting of a much wider I-45 through Houston TX is decimating and dividing the remaining black neighborhoods. Chicago is the third largest metro area in the US and Houston or Dallas/FtWorth is the fourth largest metro area, depending on the metric you measure by. So your argument at 55:39 kind of falls flat. Typical of the North-Eastern mindset, where Bagdad is closer to NYC than Houston - as far as the news-reporting goes. For time stamp 1:06:37 and the banning of criminals...and prostitutes in 1870 [after the Civil war]: These French immigrants, Creoles and Cajuns, made New Orleans, LA. They are US citizens. The Affordable Care Act saved my life. Before then, I was uninsurable and forced to make a living as a freelancer. No one would or could hire me. Now I'm getting my surgeries to live a healthy life - especially now that Medicare kicks in.

Why do we choose segregation? When I see films like Erin Brockovich and The Pelican Brief
, it strengthens my thesis that we chose the path of violence instead of the path of peace when the Earth's climate became stable about 12,000 years ago. It can explain the oligarchic system we have, where it is necessary to keep 90% of the people away from the most of the resources/money. A simple economy that strives to accept an ideal where lying, killing, etc. are richly rewarded.
What I am looking for is instead to develop the idea of democracy and what it would do to us humans and to our leadership and investments in developing a peaceful world. Utopia?
Which flavour of Utopia would you choose? The one that coined the word by Thomas Moore? Perhaps one of the others like New Atlantis by Thomas Bacon, Brave New World by Aldous Huxley or Das Kapital by Karl Marx? There is a reason it is called Utopian Fiction. Perfection is a pipe dream peddled by the religious and other con artists. Good enough is what we should be striving for not perfection which does not exist.
Money is there to be earned under capitalism. No one’s holding it from you. Lol. Such liberal propaganda
1:01:05 That's a very gendered question. Women marry for long term provisioning advantages (amongst other), so they are less willing to marry a man who has LESS resources than her. And a higher education is related to higher earns
However men, do not marry a woman for provisioning advantages, (and especially she is unlikely to marry him if she earns more, even IF he was trying to marry for provisioning advantages), so her education is far less a concern for him when considering who he will marry.
Edit: and measuring that by "marriage" is not a sensible anyway, as more couples now are now living together/starting families, now without involving the government with the "marriage agreement".
@ 39:09 let the education material be recorded by the less successful county( needy one) and have a alternative method to the results of the investment of the richer county( have the lowest result school use a delegate of teachers to understand and update methods) track via independent testing probably @ this level adapt supports from educational resources at the next levels of government ( state federal if necessary) avoid the small minded clingy and well off citizens
let the results of delivery cause too much merits( hopefully) as not to be denied
Mobility of people depends on housing cost as well as the cost of that mobility. Those that are less prosperous cannot afford this.

What if moving to a high-income neighborhood means making sacrifices that some people don't choose to make? Is being less wealthy a reasonable choice, and is it still a problem to have the inequality that comes of it? And is it reasonable to want to find the best of both worlds?
Democrats aren’t that smart dude.
Maybe I am nitpicking, but I think the last stat of the Oakland/Piedmont comparison table (i.e., school suspensions in the '20-'21 school year) is a bit disingenuous.
The only reason to include that stat is to show that students in each school district are similar in terms of behavior despite their significant economic disparity. Otherwise why include it?
But the thing is, that's the lockdown COVID year. You can't be suspended from a school that no one is allowed to go to lol. Of course that year is going to read "0%" for both Oakland and Piedmont.
I'm very curious what the suspension rates were like before and after the lockdown.
Everything about democrats is disingenuous
Amazing amount of relevant information, as usual. One of the issues, too, is crime rate, and one wonders why impoverished people pick on each other that way because it does not benefit them or anyone else, the "Section 8" stereotype of Black kids swarming ATVs in the inner city is sure not going to desegregate housing, for example.
FOlks with funds will do anything they can to prohibit that kinds of activity, rightly so, but it extends out into generalized discrimination against Blacks, especially poor ones. Thanks, Professor, for another great lecture.

Poor people can't afford to move . And when they do it's into a worse situation.
Bullshit.
I appreciate the data shown by the professor and respect his views and values, although I do not agree with most of his points in this lecture.
I do think we need to do something to help the poor tax district especially with k12 education but it shouldn’t be like simply merging the district with the rich one and giving them money unconditionally. A long term plan should be developed and the required achievements and milestones must be clearly specified and ensured to be objectively measurable, and if they cannot be achieved for whatever reason some higher management people from the poor tax district should be held accountable and the aid may be terminated.
I’m still against illegal immigrants though I agree it’s not fair to blame them for all kinds of problems here. The statement that only native Americans have some stand for complaining immigrations does not make sense. Native Americans also fought hard against invaders, and although they did have welcomed some explorers and settlers as well, it’s not like they just accepted every single foreigner coming over. Now the U.S. is pretty much following the same philosophy and so there is nothing wrong with it. Also back then there was no country in north America continent and so it was a totally different situation, so not really comparable.
In addition, according to the professor poor tax districts were primarily caused by laws and legislations (which I don’t buy 100%, only partially, but that’s a long story and kind of irrelevant so I won’t elaborate here) but illegal immigrants were not, so there is no good reason to just take them unconditionally. I think US doesn’t necessarily need to take only the rich and highly skilled immigrants but definitely they should have the skills needed here AND agree with the basic values and principles of the U.S.

I would like to see some student interaction. Do none of the students have any questions?
The class has over 500 students and interact during breakout discussion sections. The reality of public education = huge lecture halls and large class sizes. Direct interaction with professors is available during office hours.
@@keithchun9107 then just send the students a UA-cam link and tell them to come by during office hours if they have questions. That will save a lot of the professor's time that he can use for more office hours.

You have shown that systemic racism had, and I believe still exists.
He has put forward the compelling case. There's always a danger in saying things that make you seem sympathetic, gain you friends, and which sound good.
However Sowell teaches us to think of things differently.
There are several countries in which the government has had no part in enforcing segregation at all. Unless you compare those countries with the US, you cannot say that the policies in the US were the cause.
Obvious examples might be the numerous 'chinatowns' in places like Manchester, UK, or Jewish communities in London. People choose to segregate based on differences which have nothing at all to do with the government, and everything to do with culture.
Other examples exist here in New Zealand. We have very few black people at all. You can easily go a year without seeing a black face. The ones we do have tend to be recent immigrants, and are disproportionately wealthy and well-educated, so they cluster into wealthy neighbourhoods.
Systemic racism might well still exist, however they are probably not the cause of much at all, and where it does exist, the level of effect is probably much smaller than the average activist would have you believe.
There is not a law on the books today that discriminates by race- you fool.
There’s not a law on the books that supports you progressive fools that claim “systemic racism”.
It’s such a pathetic claim from desperate progressives. Puke.

Man is nearly 80 years old. I found him engaging tho
So am I, but I believe his "long pause" style of presentation has been his technique for lecture delivery for many years. Might be an artiface of trying to ensure the slowest of his students can grasp his message....unfortunately when the pauses are too long, my mind drifts away from his presentation. I fill his silence gaps with thoughts outside of his topic, drift off to sleep, or start to wonder why he is taking so long to finish a sentence with concepts that could have been much better/quicker/or entertainingly presented.
Go to your UA-cam settings and increase playback speed. In the classroom, a teacher is smart to pause, it enables the students to make notes before moving on the other topic.
@@thehylers1021 Thanks....I belileve you are correct. However, his pauses are at "odd" locations (IMHO) because he doesn't complete his sentences.... the thoughts he wishes to convey aren't expressed in notable clumps. Instead, the pauses appear more for dramatic effect than notetaking convenience.

You do all right, I'm sure, but you've worked very hard to get there + smarts!
Why/how is he a hypocrite? He is merely sharing information. He is not telling anyone what to do. If you were in his position you would expect to be paid accordingly and I expect he lives within his means. You would also charge what those engaging your services are willing to pay for your skills and experience. Nowhere is he telling us to do otherwise.
He is teaching a class of why things are the way they are. Due to laws, segregation, and policies. How is that hypocrisy?
Seeing your channel content, it's not hard to understand why you bleat this way. Why should anyone have to prove anything to you?
I totally get this but how is socialism a good solution to the problem? I work as a janitor and I know that if we replaced our current system with a socialist one I would still be working as a janitor and still not making a lot of money.
😂. But most of things we buy ,will be free or less costy for people.
I would counter with the fact that we already have "socialism," but for the wealthy. Consider what's happening with the education system and school vouchers. Essentially, the voucher works as a tax credit or subsidy for private schools. There are plenty of other examples of this kind of unfair play at work: corporate bailouts, tax credits and infrastructure investments (lots of this in the oil industry, but it's really all over), etc.
As a janitor, it's possible that you may be able to demand higher wages through worker-rights expansion and collective bargaining; you may be able to have access to affordable healthcare equal to that of the wealthiest individuals (a single payer system is my preferred way of doing this); you may be able to, should you choose, attend university or other job/skill training programs at no cost; and, etc.
I don't want to say that socialism is THE or ONLY way to address the issues discussed in this class, but it does offer possibilities. Of course, there may be other ways to achieve similar goals. I just want to make clear that "socialism" exists within this country and operates quite well within our governmental policies. The issue to be understood is simply, who benefits from it: poor folks who lose access to education, healthcare, and infrastructure and services; or, wealthy corporations who avoid paying taxes, operate as adversaries to workers and their rights, and lobby governments to enforce policy that allow them to protect and dramatically increase profit consolidation amongst the very wealthiest.
