Uff.... you surely know a lot of people and languages hey?

he speaks well, but when it comes to doing, he's a failure.

Agree!

@@biff408 he became a minister for 6months ...wanted to fight but the president didnt...who's failing at doing him or the president at the time..lol

Are there signs anywhere in or around your office that indicate a video/audio recording device maybe in operation? Like CCTV security camera's , etc... If so, you can set your audio recoding app on your cell to record interaction at work. I ask about the signs because if there are signs, then anyone around gives their implicit / explicit permission to be recorded. That recording can be used as evidence in court. Use the law your advantage, to put those fuckers in their place! Obviously review the law(s) in your state / local city, but use the law for you.

All money is a lie. Try not to slave. American Yellow Vests. Backwards: eb tod VYA 👍

@@TheRantingRooster That is a brilliant strategy! But unfortunately and fortunately they don’t record us as far as I know. Although they do make it abundantly clear that we have no right to privacy in any communications at work, including email. I can’t say what firm it is (out of fear of retaliation) but they are experts at union busting and we’re all too afraid to unionize. The HR and management frequently tell us that we can speak to them “in confidence” and nobody in their right mind believes them. The other day we had a staff meeting where they told us they were decreasing the one day/week of remote work for secretaries (while they don’t enforce this at all for management who rarely show up to work) so I commented that nobody wants to come to work because everyone is treated like crap. So management asked me to name names! “Who treated you like poorly?” they asked. So I responded, no! I’m not naming names nor is any other secretary because nobody is stupid enough to put that bullseye on their back (all the secretaries smiled and nodded), but I told them, we all know who the culprits are because they treat all their subordinates like crap, including you! Everyone in the room, including management, knew I was right. Then management asked me (fearfully) if I was afraid of retaliation. I avoided answering that question and just reiterated that if they really wanted to make the office a better place, they didn’t need me to rat on anyone. Of course they won’t hold the culprits responsible because those culprits bring millions of dollars into the firm. They’d sooner fire any secretary that complained of abuse, and they have! And when they do, they say the secretary was in subordinate. Of course they were! Abolition was insubordination! [Edited: management can’t bring millions of dollars into the firm without us secretaries, and their money and power is stolen from us. And if we secretaries had enough money to leave, management wouldnt make any money which is why they are so afraid of us.]

30 mins of these men talking is so damn unfair =(

Yes

So you want more B.S.????

@@jgalt308 Is this the legendary John Galt? I discovered who you were while reading all the way through Atlas Shrugged years ago. I was less than impressed :)

@@andyjblosser And I am less than impressed also... the J is just a J... it is not short for anything. Have you read 1984? Were you impressed? How about Brave New World? Walden Two? You do know what fiction is? Or science fiction? Still...I am willing to entertain whatever objections you have to "Altas Shrugged" as "science fiction"...or any of the "other" titles mentioned above.

...problem is tho the central banks MUST be nationalized first or we've just given control to the biggest private bank ever. Central banks are still PRIVATE banks. How Marxist is that?

A central bank digital currency would be useful if we could trust the banks to not be controlled by the politicians and cut people off from money when they do things with that money that it's the politicians don't like. The fundamental danger is that your ability to feed yourself will always be subject to the banks not cutting off access, like what they did to people who donated to the Canadian truckers.

@@charlenek11 as a rebuttable presumption, I don’t believe any institution of that size and power can ever be trusted not to abuse its power. They may still be necessary on some level, but if our proposed reforms require banks and bankers who are above reproach we may need to go back to the drawing board on that one 😅

@@charlenek11 at least politicians - in the western world - can mostly be overthrown peacefully, we have now multiple generations and a couple of centuries of evidence of this. On the other hand, there is no peaceful overthrow of private bankers. So with that in mind, I'd much prefer even a corrupt central bank that can be replaced and influenced by common people in time, than private bankers who answer to no one except their own wallets

@@podzycie3567 that absolutely makes the case for a decentralized system and against Central Bank digital currencies.

@@jgalt308 He is more in the game than you are.

@@jgalt308 💯, these guys sit on social media and talk

Shame it's not capitalism...but since you weren't paying attention you didn't hear the word "rentier" or who used it.

@@jgalt308 "Capitalism and competition are opposites. Capitalism is premised on the accumulation of capital, but under perfect competition, all profits get competed away. The lesson for entrepreneurs is clear. Competition is for losers". This quote comes from tech oligarch Peter Thiel. It should also make it easy to understand why neoliberalism has been such a failure. And why this will not be fixed from above. Because those are the very same people with all the power who have the complete opposite incentives to yours. And why right wing movements cannot fix it either (what could possibly do that. Libertarianism that is even more neoliberal and oligarchic? Or conservatism which follows the same premise?).

@@gallectee6032 Well since it's not capitalism, quoting Peter Thiel doesn't make it so. What is capital? Money is a commodity...people seeking to acquire money are capitalists as money is capital. Das Kapital v1 p27, p63, p 104-107 But you no longer have money, so now what is capital? And capital has always been more than just money...which as a commodity, simply acts as a convertible asset, to facilitate production, as a medium of exchange that holds value, until it is converted to production, which is another form of commodity asset. If competition is for losers, why is he competing...and what is the nature of the competition, he is engaged in? Life is competition...and always has been, so making such a statement is a denial of reality...and is certainly not one that can be considered the product of intelligent reasoning. One might wish it were not so, one might also wish to minimize it or eliminate it...but if the effort required to achieve that goal exceeds that required to compete, then the energy expended is wasted, and nothing is gained by the result. Such claims also run counter to the evidence...even when their supposed examples seem to suggest otherwise...as in the case of the robber barons, a period that resulted in the U.S. surpassing Great Britain as the worlds most productive economy by 1880, and prices fell dramatically for the products made available by these "robbers". The reality here directly contradicts the "myth" regarding this period, as well as the claim that "employers raise prices because they can"... because if that were true, and those that dominated the various industries they had control of certainly could, why didn't they? Of course, if one is ignorant of the factual history...then maintaining the "myth" is useful for those selling it...and there are all manner of "myths" that persist at present, all serving those that create them...while doing nothing for those who believe them. Also in the above interview, Yanus acknowledged the "rentier" economy... which now dominates the present...but this preceded "capitalism" and is NOT capitalism...for that involves "production"...and regardless of who owns or controls it...PRODUCTION is key. Rent seekers do not produce, and governments do not produce...both rely on those who can and do...and there is nothing new involved, this is history. So, capitalism is not the problem...with the private ownership of the means of production providing the most incentive. It's not a difficult concept to grasp, and one is free to argue against private ownership...but those arguments fail rather quickly. Given that...one has little choice but to alter the understanding of what capitalism is...which is all that is being done here...in a country that is no longer capitalistic.

@@jgalt308 I have many things to say but cannot be bothered. Your definition of capitalism is never going to happen because the actual incentives oppose. I assume you are anti government, so how are you ever going to change these incentives to create this idealistic version of capitalism?

@@gallectee6032 No doubt you have many things to say...most people do. Without evidence to support what you say, they are as meaningless as if you hadn't bothered unless someone is foolish enough to believe you. Then you have a myth you can sell...like Wolff, but he isn't very good at it ...but good enough to "have the time of his life". Michael Hudson on the other hand doesn't seem to be having any problems at all. You do know what a "rentier" economy is? and that it preceded capitalism? And why did the prices of what the robber barons produce fall? As for the kind of "government" needed...that was achieved by the constitution in 1789 and 1791. Unfortunately, that was undermined and corrupted over time... and completely discarded in 1939, while money had been dumped 6 years earlier. So now you have an unconstitutional, criminal government...engaged in promising things it continually fails to deliver, robbing the future to maintain power in the present...and re-writing the past to maintain its criminal enterprise and divide its victims into factions competing for its favor, rather than seeking the freedom to pursue their own desires on their own merit. So I guess you will now have even more things to say but can't be bothered... employing words that have no definitive meaning, and continuing to make claims that have no evidence to support them if you did bother.

Yes I am surprised of Yanis knowledge of China and Asia as it seems Yanis might not have visited China very often.

I guess anything that keeps him away from the country his laws ravaged is a good thing for us Greeks.

It’s always a good option to keep some gold. Well with the current market situation and everything at stake with the present economy, I’d say you’re better off staying away from stocks fr awhile or better still reach out to an adviser for guidance.

true, a lot of folks downplay the role of advisors until being burnt by their own emotions. I remember couple summers back, after my lengthy divorce, I needed a good boost to help my business stay afloat, hence I researched for license advisors and came across someone of due diligence, helped a lot to grow my reserve notwithstanding inflation, from $275k to approx. $850k so far.

@@lowcostfresh2266 I’m in dire need of guidance so i can salvage my portfolio due to the massive dips and come up with better strategies. How can I reach this advisor?

@@TomD226 Having a counselor is essential for portfolio diversification. My advisor is Laurel Dell Sroufe who is easily searchable and has extensive knowledge of the financial markets.

George Santos for president 2024👍

I don't even think your last sentence is true. Look at how people behave --& not just famous people but humanity as a whole. I would go so far as to say the vast majority of people on Earth agree with you. MOST people do not pursue wealth at all costs. Most people don't have an insatiable hunger for more, look at all the studies that have shown a declining "happiness" after a certain amount of income. Most people simply want to have enough that they don't have to worry about money anymore. But that vast majority of humanity do not get to decide the course our species goes down under our system of capitalism & bourgeois governance. It is the most pathological, most destructive people alive who our system rewards with power & authority.

Its not about what we want - its about what we need. Money is the conversion of work into value.

We are krill for the Wall Street whales.

I am 72 love Yanis

@@kp6215 I am 59 and my opinion has evolved from the "American Dream" to Marxist.

Are hallucinations visionary?

And can also explain it all, Prof W notwithstanding.

Notice the lack of a detailed blueprint for the replacement of Capitalism....

​@@YouLoveMrFriendly - yes, a detailed map should be presented in excruciating detail in a 28 minute video. Like Hollywood movie and shit.

@@tZydeco I'm with Mr. Friendly; I never see anything presented to replace Capitalism, ever. It's always critiques meant to get people angr-y

@@jeffc9870 read his books

I think it's not always about fear, Sometimes realistic factors discourage people from reaching their goals in life. For instance, I've tried investing in the stock market several times but always got discouraged by fluctuations of stock value

@RobertCooper03 But you had money to begin with, which is usually the missing factor in investing anyway. Idc how good your advisors are, if you don't have the initial resources, you're not going to be prosperous.

this is getting really old...

Yanis point is such class struggle failed to even take off in Europe and USA, let alone to have a clash of two force within CCP.

Yes, thank you for opening your eyes. The Fed is a private bank and they caused this inflation with money printing. Giving any power to them is a big mistake unless they're all fired first (and some arrested) and the bank is nationalized. Then we should do what Yanis is suggesting.

⁠@@gmac8586 Inflation doesn’t have anything to do with the quantity of money. Inflation is only determined by a rise in prices, which was caused by companies post-pandemic immediately jacking up the cost of their products in order to make up for the brief profit loss they underwent during the height of COVID. Saying the Fed is a private bank, I mean I’m sure there’s some legalese I’m missing, but the Fed chair and Secretary of the Treasury are appointed by the presidential administration, they’re pretty much nationalized already. Yannis is suggesting they pour money into public work projects with real value instead of just allowing it to circulate amongst the financial elite.
