      The most employable people on Earth. They love working, they're grateful, and love hard work. (and WOW smart!). lol.
      _"Instead of eloquently explaining what "MEME" means... he MOCKS Peter. lol._
      Imagine if he instead said, _The concept of a 'meme' was first popularized by Dawkins' _Selfish Gene,_ but has taken like 25 years to start catching on. He used it to make an analog of a gene, passing phenotypic traits by Mendelian statistics ... whereas MEMES compete for people's desire to replicate itself through conversations (similar to how genes do but _sociologically_ ) ... to spread itself based on it's competitive advantage.
      Then, his dummass demanded people listen to his REMEDIAL ideas that he YELLED. Not realizing WALMART plays within the rules the GOV MADE regulating employee healthcare policies.
      Think about how eeeTARDED-RAY he is ... he has a RARE opportunity to LISTEN to someone that is unlike ANYONE he not only knows, but ever has or WILL know. Yet, he wanted to hear himSELF talk.
      He flips out bc the EPA or Dept of Edu are VERY bad ideas ...
      But he never ONCE explains why they're necessary.
      _"I wanna have a conversation n ax you su'in."_ (Instead of just asking):
      Via TIGHTLY LINKED POINTS,
      (SKIP ALL OBVIOUS POINTS)
      ...That UNAMBIGUOUSLY LEADS TO a CLEAR CONCLUSION.
      Not ONE PERSON there had that ability. So it is NO MISTAKE that they are resentful, don't know how to make money, and are broke.
      Running ANY business in which ALL TAXES ARE. PAID TO THE TEE ... is INORDINATELY EXPENSIVE.
      But look who's here axin fu hand-outs !!!

      The Founding Fathers were right to institute a republican form of government. Processes such as voting and elections are vital for the public to express themselves politically, but when it comes to governance, decision making should be based on expertise rather than mob rule. A republican form of governance tries to strike a balance between having the voices of the people heard and having effective governance by technocrats.

Thats probably why these people have so much time to protest, they've been unemployed forever and expect hand outs from the government. Especially the v for vendetta mask guy. He had the most ridiculous arguments of anyone. And in some sort of stockhold syndrome was praising the government for ending slavery lol, the people that originally sanctioned it, and talking bad about the corporations that would be able to provide Healthcare and good wages to a loyal and hard working employee. I don't think he has a job.

I work in construction making lower wages than the captioner. They have sources, citations, and some valid points...that sound good in theory, but have never worked historically, and miss the point of my arguments entirely.

      Except.... he's not teaching them, he's deceiving them. It's because of Capitalism and businesses not doing the right thing that forced the governments hand in creating regulations. It came full circle, but he only wants people to focus on the government. Why? Because all he truly cares about is making more money himself. He cares about HIS profits. If he actually cared about the people, he'd pay employees more and take less money himself. If he can make millions himself, then there's no reason he can't pay employees more, which in turn gives them more money to spend on items, which helps the economy, which makes business owners more money, and it cycles around. But the rich of this era make excuses for why they make billions and their employees can barely make ends meet on minimum wage. It's a con job, and it's easy to fall for if you can't see through the deceit.

    • @inthemaking9714
      @inthemaking9714 Год назад +2

      Lol I guess you missed the part on tax rates impeding business growth…. You must of also missed the part of productivity per unit of labor…. Of course he’s worried about making more money himself. He mentioned that. He employs many people (of whom you do not even know what they’re getting paid). Would you rather have a few people make more? Or pay many more people the wage rate per unit of time that competition allows in a capitalist society? There are plenty of reasons why he can’t pay employees more, he just listed them out in the video? Also, minimum wage does not equal livable wage… minimum wage is exactly what it says… the minimum in which an employer can pay. Typically these are low skilled jobs. You build skill and acquire knowledge that you learned by entering the labor force presumably at minimum wage then you take what you learned and you advance your career. Poverty is not stagnant. It does not consist of the same people. People move in and out of wage brackets all the time. I’m making a hell lot more money now than I made when I was 21… do you see what I’m saying? I don’t want to be rude, but you’re really clueless on economics of a capitalist society.

    • @johnnysoccer1983
      @johnnysoccer1983 Год назад

      @@inthemaking9714 Claiming tax rates impede business growth is a bullshit argument and not actually reality. They claim it's true, but it really isn't. If the business itself and the people at the top are making millions/billions, then it's just not reality. The 50s that he loves to talk about as the golden era of Capitalism had MUCH higher tax brackets than today, and that didn't impede any growth. The minimum wage back then was higher than todays minimum wage when you adjust for inflation as well. Minimum wage back when it was introduced WAS a liveable wage. It's only in recent times that it became so low compared to the costs of living that it was no longer a liveable wage. I believe it was around the 80s where minimum wage adjusted for inflation to today was around $14. So.... what happened? It wasn't taxes, because taxes dropped. It can't be regulations because businesses continued to make more and more profit. So, what was it? The simple answer, it was greed. Companies realised they could cheat the system under Capitalism and they could massively increase the costs of their services, without increasing wages, to maximize their profits. They realised they could monopolise their areas of business at the expense of everyone to increase the wealth of those at the top. Regulations keep being added because businesses are NOT doing right by their workers. Businesses have FORCED the governments hand in adding regulations. Back in the day, they didn't need so many regulations because businesses weren't taking advantage of everyone else for their own profit AS BADLY as they are today. It's BECAUSE of Capitalism that life is so expensive compared to wages in this era. Capitalism unchecked leads to greater and greater wealth gaps and more and more people in poverty.
      Oh, and by the way, there are most definitely areas where the same people stay in poverty and can't get out of it. There are whole communities that have to live like that. There are many reasons as to why it's happened but that was a foolish comment. Sure, there are some that move in and out of poverty, but there are still a lot that stay in poverty and no amount of trying to move up the ladder works for them. Just because YOUR situation isn't like that, doesn't mean it's not like that for others. That is a concept that both you and Peter fail to comprehend.

The university of Virginia is 50,000 out of state tuition!! Lets just look at in state to be fair $17,000, in Mexico the top public university charges about $1,000 dollars a year, people in Virginia make way more money, but not 17 times more, much less 50 times on all other states!! And thats the top school, some public schools charge $300 dollars and $500 dollars a year, yes they make less but not that much less, a country like mines, Mexico should not offer such cheaper education and opportunities than this great country, its still worse in sooo many corruption issues than the US Ik Im not saying Mexico is superior. Im saying America is just never gonna be truly great with tuition rates that high, they need to be wayyyyy lower, the man is right it should be considered a national embarrassment that students have to pay so much more education in the country of opportunity.

Think about what really makes sense; the people controlling the wages are greedy and overpaying themselves. Starting a business shouldn't mean that you're so much better off than the people that allow your business to function, the labor, that you obtain so much more than them. There are literally people working their asses off that can barely take care of their families while their boss has so much expendable income they can buy literal islands. That's a huge disparity that you may be able to rationalize, but not justify.

The only way the ruling class can rule over the masses is to keep the masses in confusing and obfuscate the truth.

      Right?! It’s scary. Maybe I’m bias, but most of what he is saying is just common sense. He is incredibly smart and knows what he’s talking about, but people need to LISTEN. The government is so damn corrupt, the dems really know how to dumb down society and pander to them. I’ve taken business, economics and accounting classes, and my family owns 2 small businesses. It is so, so much more than people realize. The amount a small business gets taxed is HORRIBLE.
      We DESPERATELY need to shrink the government.

    I think I have new level of respect for you Mr. Schiff.That was very brave to put yourself in this position. I have watched the entire video for the first time. I have a full time job and I was running a small business before C-19 shut me down and I never recovered. I must say I do agree with your most of your points. When I was in full swing, I always had to pay the sub retails and the labor and I got what was left over. I wasn't making very much net profit but I only had my business a couple of years. I was building momentum. I think the biggest problem would letting owners of all businesses who are greedy and don't have integrity take advance of the work force if we didn't have some kind of regulations in place. I, 100% agree to keep the GOVT out of things.
