President Lyndon B. Johnson once said, "If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you."

I'm a physician with a special interest in ID. I told my nurse in March of 2020 that one million Americans were going to die from SARS Covid 19, and she said that could not happen. She's only in her forties. I started taking care of HIV/AIDS patients in 1983. I knew what was happening back then, and I saw the parallels. When a million were dead, she came to me and asked me how I knew. I told her that history doesn't repeat, but it rhymes, and Trump, like Reagan, hadn't a clue. Tony Fauci is a friend of mine (Yes, I read his book.) and he and I both intuitively knew it was a BFD from the get-go. I closed my practice to people who wouldn't wear masks and get immunised. I lost about fifty patients to other doctors, but not one to Covid.

We need stronger laws on Corporate Greed, Corporations shouldn't be allowed to price gouge Americans just because they can. There needs to be accountability.

As a Canadian, I have to believe, that my neighbours to the south, with common sense, will be out and voting for Biden, it’ll be disastrous for us all otherwise!

"When you're accustomed to privilege, equality for others feels like oppression."

Prime example of corporate greed: in 1980 a Big Mac cost 50 cents. That is $2.02 in today's money. Now, on average in the USA, a Big Mac costs $5.29! But wait.......a Big Mac is apparently 40% smaller now than it was in 1980! Add to this that minium wage was $3.10 in 1980, which is $12.51 in today's money. But today's minimum wage is $7.25. This means you could buy 4 Big Macs for one hour minimum wage in 1980 (pre-tax), and today you can get 1.37 Big Macs for 1 hour of the federal minimum wage. When you account for them being 40% smaller, this is .822 Big Macs for 1 hour of pretax federal minimum wage labor.

Record profits during a supposed shortage says everything.

Casinos! How do you bankrupt a casino? 😂🎉

Thanks for talking about this...Wish more channels would talk about Greedflation.

It's always been corporate geed and always will

The greedflation thing can be attacked like this: Go into any supermarket and you'll see thousands of products, offered by hundreds of different brand names, but those brands are owned by SEVEN companies. When they had to raise their prices during the pandemic (shelves were empty, remember?) all seven companies raised their prices, like capitalist markets do. When supply chains recovered and the bigger margins started rolling in as the costs to produce and deliver went down, these seven companies liked the extra money. Given the option to reduce prices to where they were, these companies said no, because the demand was still there at the higher prices. The prices of things are high because these companies want them high, not because the government wants them high or won't control the prices.

as consumers who make less than 500,00 a year we are being fleeced at every level. let me explain,,, EVERY LEVEL FROM SEED TO STORE IS BEING MANIPULATED FOR PROFIT BY PEOPLE WHO ARE ALREADY WEALTHY BEYOND UNDERSTANDING.

Somebody finally gets it with the corporate greed

1984. the ministry of truth. It started as simple as them telling you, “look at how much money you saved” after you spent a bunch of money. We taught entire generations, through commercials, to believe the lies!

You nailed it Rachel 👍 For dumb people 😢 🕊❤️🇺🇲

I was at Walmart last week and parking lot was full and so were the shopping carts. And I see people on fb bitching about "BIDENOMICS" those poor fools😢

Its not Supply and Demand; its Supply-->>Need-->>Greed-->>Price.

I truly believe this greed is designed as a campaign issue for Trump. Corporations LOVE fascism

It’s all the chaos trump causes helps people forget everything important

The companies got used to the extra profits due to the covid pandemic and they don't want to let go of that profit margin. Gas SHOULD be well under $3 a gallon everywhere. Grocery chains are gouging the 💩 out of their customers too. Those extra profits are definitely NOT going to pay raises for any workers either.

I feel like a lot of people's misconception about the current state of the economy is based on the price of things still being high for the average AMerican. What they don't know is the prices are still high due to 'Greedflation' (IE charging more for a item because they know the consumer will grumble but still pay it). This seemed to start (Or I became aware of it) around the time that there was a bout of Avian Flu and the price of eggs skyrocketed. It took a while but some people reported that the effect of the Avian flue on egg production didn't warrant the amount they were hiking the price of eggs and it just seemed to snowball from there. Several months ago ( I think) there was a report that determined that a SUBSTANTIAL amount of the inflation experienced over the recent 1-2 years (easily 10-20%+) has been the result of corporations just increasing the prices because they know we will just lay down and pay it. AND we will for many things due to a lack of competition due to a handful of companies inexorably owning..........well EVERYTHING!

Washington, Jefferson, Biden ... great moments of bonding and team building 🤗

Greedflation indeed!!! Stock holders? Trying to recoup their loss during covid. SMH 😡 Must be nice to be a Billionaire 😢

Reality is we are spoiled Americans. The economic numbers are compared to when our economy was stagnant. People can't get their mind around what an economy SHOULD look like after a pandemic or what other countries have for an economy... they want the numbers that were available when we were stagnant. They don't understand that cannot be replicated.

We need a stronger word for greed. One that really describes its effect on everything. I don’t think people understand its true meaning!

Didn't trump razz biden about teleprompters not so very long ago? Now trump cant even function without them.

That's exactly what the right claims was so great about Trump's presidency- he made them feel it was ok to act on their beliefs

When you claim that you are the smartest guy in the room you're just sounding yourself with dummies

Record CORPORATE PROFITS =INFLATION

"Where there's so much water, you don't know what to do with it. You know, it's called rain. It rains a lot in certain places. But uhhhhhh, no. Their idea. You know.

They don't want you to have any water. They want no water..." The Stable Genius Philadelphia, PA June 22, 2024

"There were no telomeres left" -- good pull!

The World Economic Forum said lately that the US economy has raised the world's economy because it's so good.

Canadian here, I’ve been saying this for months. The question isn’t Trump or Biden, the question answered on election day is: can we trust America as an ally, or not?

i have said the very same thing for over a year now.

Don't forget 45 also rolled back the regulations on banks, trains, and the EPA. Which resulted in trains flying off the tracks dumping hazardous materials, several banks closing and a couple needing to be bought out in order to keep from tanking business, losing mortgages, and people losing their life savings.

Vote Joe Biden 2024

That's the thing. I can see how the economy is doing well but I'm having to stretch my pay even farther than before. I don't blame the president I blame corporate greed.

“Record” corporate profits and CEO packages = Less money in your pocket. Simple as that, MAGA people.

Ttump suffers a unique psychopathy that makes him truly believe that he's divine.

He's from the culture of tell a lie enough, and prople will start believing it. Yell it from the highest point and an entire nation will move in the direction of the lie.

Oh wait... my bad. Must be nice to be an American Oligarch 😡 🕊❤️🇺🇲

Yeah, stated the same thing earlier. When you can't afford to go out to eat, groceries prices have skyrocketed, can't afford to buy a house, rent prices are through the roof, it doesn't matter how good the stock market is doing. Greedflation is definitely a very visible thing.

I thought George W. was the worst president ever according to a bumper sticker i red 😂😂😂

Pandemics have a history of being "forgotten" when they end because so many people suffer trauma from it that our brains want us to just move on. Happens in every pandemic, we forget to avoid pain and oft repeat the mistakes because we, as a society, forgot.

Just imagining how difficult it must be in the Titus-Bradley kitchen when deciding the protein to go with the starch. “Babe, I’m fine with chicken.” “Okay… broccoli?” “I know how to use this knife.” “Fine, Spinach salad.”

Drumpf has this Homer-Simpson-pushing-a-button super power 😱😱😱

Same lessen as in Germany 1930; tell the biggest lie and tell it often to bring down people's mental defense against dishonesty.

Its almost like if we raised corporate taxes back to where they used to be, we could pay for things to make the average Americans life better. What a concept...

Fast talking is what con artists do.

@08:54 TRUMP FAILED at casinos. You know? Places where people are eager to walk in and HAND YOU MONEY!

Thank you Christopher and crew...

8:08 THANK YOU!!!!! I have asked my own family what numbers show that Trump's economy was any good, and they literally go "Numbers? What do numbers have to do with the economy?" They go 100% off of feelings. It amazes me that people can live like that. F*ck your feelings!

See you in Pittsburgh Titus! Fantastic that you're coming to the burgh!

Titus for president!

the price gouging is insane

"Religion is such a great thing it's so it keeps you know there's something to be good about you want to be good you wanna it's so important I don't know if it's explained right I don't know if I am explaining it right you know you want to be good you want to go to heaven when you have something like that you wanna go to heaven OK so you want to go to heaven so if we don't have heaven OK you almost say what's the reason why do I have to be good let's not be good what difference does it make" -The Stable Genius June 2024

Will trump bring the attack shark to the debate?.

Nailed it!!!! GREEDflation!!!!!

One paycheck a month used to cover rent. Now three of my paychecks a month go to rent 💥💥🍻🍔🐿️

We are currently at 90 sec to midnight in the doomsday clock! The lowest we ever been in human history!

Is SCOTUS gonna ban Viagra?😂

Yes I remember

I love the electric boat thing. Does he not realize that our entire military fleet is electric? Either diesel or nuclear electricity. Huge battery banks. Just like our trains.

During all of the Homeless sh!t we were going through, one day I was talking wiht my dad and sister, we got in an argument over a domestic situation, a stabbing that happened, I was like did ytou hear about that lady that got drubnk and stabbed her man. dad was like, no she came home and found him in bed with the babysitter and stabbed him, he had it coming if you think about it, the kids were out back playing, they had a pool, so many things could have happened. My sister is like your both wrong, it was the man that caught his wife in bed with his brother... turns out in our town there was three separate domestic stabbings, in each of our neighborhoods... on the same day... We awere talking about. Close the bars, closing the guns shops, keeping the weed available... the biggest issue we would have is people not understanding why their pizza aint delivering at 4 am, and put covers on the pools.

So, right before we knew what Covid was, the house my husband and I were renting for us and our kids was being sold. So I had like 8 months before, went back to college, had the best grades in my life, my daughters started college, we were doing well, for once. but then our landlord made some bad choices (in the form of mixing Rx with booze and bankrupting his company so sell his houses to fix it) We were going to suffer. in the 8 years we rented that house, the market in our area went up so much there was no way we could afford a place. the rules had changed too. 2 of our 3 daughters were over 18 now so by law they had to have their own rooms. we would have to have a 4 bedroom house, no less, where the house we had been in was "classified" as a 2 bed, due to 2 rooms not having closets but it was a 2000 sft house. Why it is my daughters in Southern CA can go to college and be roomed with 4 girls they never met (my niece at UCLA did jsut this) and that is fine but my 3 girl who knew each other all their lives cant share a room, is beyond me. The state would rather we were homeless than my kids share a room, that is literally what happened to us, think about that next time your wondering why there are so many homeless families. One of my kids, my middle, is autistic, but there is no help because she was at the time 19. We got the official "get out of we will be here with marshals tomorrow" notice, and worked all night to have all of our things, pets, everything out, in storage, and the tents we bought set up in my husbands, tweaker fathers yard, where we had to pay $1000 a month to be there plus their electric bill and gas bill, for the luxury of being able to use the bathroom and shaower once a week. we coule put food int he fridge if we wanted them to eat it in front of us. It was a stressful and Sh!t time. We learned to survive off doughnuts, and chips, you know things that do not require refrigeration. The day after we were out is when Covids news hit and the information that kick out notices would not be held up, schools would be shutting, yada yada... now the background is, my husband's boss, his mom lives in Italy, and had visited over Thanksgiving, she was sick and everyone at his work got sick, everyone in out house got sick, our hosipital had diagnosed us all with some form of bronchial infection they had not seen before. We spent the entire part, 17 months until we saved enough to buy a house out of state, ( it was saving away from the money taken from us by my husnads family, during wich my sil bf was shot and killed in a drug realted death, my husband and I, our kids, not in that life... so kinda out of our wheelhouse) We saved, rented a vehicle and jsut left. We drove from CA to PA....

NATO was originally countered by the Warsaw Pact. We came close to getting blown up, but having a group of states set up to counter NATO doesn't automatically = WW3. Good discussion all around, thanks. If you watch other folks on YT, I recommend Beau of the 5th Column. His head is on straight and he's got very good insight with global politics.

I would get a vasectomy for a large tax credit. Wait... i make less than 25k a year 😂

eh.. alot of republicans slam biden about his speech, and i remember that he has had a speech impediment most of his life. probably worse with age.. stress.. but doesn't mean he is not there mentality.

And the farmers will still overwhelmingly vote for Trump

I see sooo much construction….everywhere. It’s no joke.

11:36 Remember, Putin says he wants peace. A piece of Ukraine, a piece of Poland, a piece of the USA (yes, he has repeatedly said Alaska is part of Russia), a piece of Finland, a piece of Moldavia, and many other pieces in Europe and Africa. Putin wants many pieces.

So I said, "Let me ask you a question." And he said, "Nobody ever asked this question," and it must because of MIT. My relationship to MIT, very smart. He goes, I say, "What would happen if the boat sank from its weight, and you're in the boat and you have this tremendously powerful battery, and the battery's now underwater, and there's a shark that's approximately 10 yards over there?" By the way, a lot of shark attacks lately, did you notice that? Lotta shark. I watched some guys justifying it today. "Well, they weren't really that angry. They bit off the young lady's leg because of the fact that they were, they were not hungry, but they misunderstood what who she was." These people are cray. He said, "There's no problem with sharks." They just didn't really understand. A young woman swimming now really got decimated, and other people too, a lot of shark attacks, so I said, "So there's a shark 10 yards away from the boat, 10 yards. Or here. Do I get electrocuted? If the boat is sinking, water goes over the battery, the boat is sinking. Do I stay on top of the boat and get electrocuted, or do I jump over by the shark and not get electrocuted?" Because I will tell you, he didn't know the answer. He said, "You know, nobody's ever asked me that question." I said, "I think it's a good question. I think there's a lot of electric current coming through that water." But you know what I'd do, if there was a shark or you get electrocuted? I'll take electrocution every single time I'm not getting near the shar [sic]. - Donald Trump | Las Vegas, NV | June 9, 2024

I wish that I could share pictures here. I use my old Folgers cans to store stuff in, so I have a can that cost 13 bucks, says it had 48 oz of grounds in it, then the one that replaced it is the same size can, same cost, but says that it only has 40 oz in it. Shrinkflation isn't "prices go up, that's just how it is", it is companies deceptively raising prices by disguising it.

But when I talk to people who are stupid they think politicians actually care about them😂

People constantly confront trumpers and they are completely brainwashed!!! Some of them are people I Love and respect!!!

No telomeres left! 😂🎉

#28thAmendment The Establishment of the Electronic Public Vote in the House and Senate. Fixes a lot of things

I live in the UK and greedflation is a real issue in the supermarkets. All over food even the basics have all gone up massively. As much as 100% with some foods. And the supermarkets that used to be the cheapest are now up there as the most expensive. Corporate greed is way out of control,and our wages are not matching the cost of living. This is a global issue. Not a Biden one.

And Lauren Boebert wins her primary! Please fix it Mr Titus 🙏 You're our new designated Savior! Vote 💙👏. (Look ma, I'm talking to Mr Titus!). 😅

inflation cannot be real has anyone seen the prices of trump merchandise is such a bargain.

Memories of trauma are a survival mechanism. We try to hide the bad events till a problem happens. The Fight or Flight remember the fear to get out sss out of a bad situation.

🎉🎉🎉🎉

People selling frozen steaks out of their trunk do better with steaks than Trump did🤣

I was hoping that this was the video Chris would get it. All the economic numbers are great on paper. But they do not reflect the reality that so many Americans face. They 'feel' that the economy is bad, because it is for them. Their buying power is shrinking. Inflation, as it is measured, is decreasing, sure. But the money Americans earn is good for less and less and less. And that fact gets colloquially called inflation, even though you can draw a straight line to corporate greed. Corporations, those soulless, feckless greed machines, even they are starting to realize they have squeezed consumers to far, and are easing back. But the bottom line is the economy does not represent your average American. The stock market being up is great only because it means people need to be less worried about losing one of the jobs they have to have to survive. But the money in the stock market doesn't benefit them. It benefits the rich who can play with it. Jobs creation numbers are great on paper, until you realize the jobs created are part time, minimum wage jobs. Jobs that don't create security. And this isn't Biden's fault, per say. He alone can't fix the fact that the wealthy and the corporations control the middle and lower classes at their whim. But he needs to do better galvanizing democrats to be champions of this change, and showing the American public what he has done, which is a damn lot.

Even the memes vanished, when was the last time you saw a good old fashioned toilet paper fort meme?

Thank you! EXACTLY! People need to say this sooooo much more that there IS A AXIS OF EVIL COMING TOGETHER! 💙

Because of that mango FF, my lungs are shot from Covid.

Don't forget what he did to the carrier workers ! He told them he make sure they would keep their jobs and buy homes and less than a few months the jobs went to Mexico and most went bankrupt and lost those homes. Thanks trump. Let's not the infrastructure week or new better health care. He said who knew health care was so hard!

Trump failed at a Casino and they basically print money. 😆

"50 years of experience" not all experience is good experience. He got his start being the Manchin of the Carter administration who then went on to vote for every fart Reagan ever brewed. He's literally the reason we're where we are.

My boyfriends company all got 1.75 raise, he makes 25 an hour welding. The economy is obviously doing great or they wouldn't have so much work for the company to build and its covid proof

my favorite way to describe our long running current state GEEDFLATIUON...first we had all the price gouging during covid and at least around here started exactly on march 15th 2020 the day everyone stayed home prices immediately raised and continued to rise through out that then when that was winding down since there was no reason for the prices to stay that high anymore (not that they need a reason the prices never go back down) they found another reason to raise them even more "what can we do we can't make one cent less then we did yesterday oooh? did I hear someone mention inflation activate greedflation." how can we tell if it's greedflation not inflation? well if operations cost are going up 3 to 6 percent why would prices need to go up 30 to 60 even 100opercent???? that's greedflation

If you have ever played the game fallout: that's basically what the whole game world was after ww3 so 😢. I wanted to play the games not make it training for a possible future reality.😅😮

It shows just how far a country falls when they go to North Korea for weapons.

I take Hydroxychoroquine, it scared me when they made it sound like everyone was going to need it. I take it for having Lupus.

Research the sales figures for expensive toys like Harleys, ATV side by sides, big bass boats, small airplanes, Rolexes, high end women's apparel, upscale cars, etc. That's a prime indicator of "how bad things are". The food industry has been gouging consumers at every level, except the base small farmer level. Once you get to the Tyson, General Mills, ADM and all the other conglomerates, profits and sales are in record territory. They are a monopolistic conspiracy that raises prices whenever they want to,. Because they can.
