or partial unemployment like i am currently suffering through...unemployment insurance also doesn't cover partial unemployment at least in WA. i NEED two jobs but get less money from the state from being laid off from one of them because somehow the fact that the job i have left literally only covers my rent and water bill (no debt payments, food, or transit) means i don't need help after the corporation i worked for decided the real estate of the building i worked in was more valuable to the company than keeping the store i worked in open.

I am so happy to see Anand Giridharadas get more and more exposure. His message is right on. Amy Goodman juxtaposed Paul Krugman with Richard Wolfe the other day. I think the times they are a'changin. And I am looking forward to it.

He endorsed Bernie a few weeks ago. Bernie already has some huge campaign people. Anand is helping by showing up on MSBC and taking Billionaires to task.
He's much more useful in these types of engagements, breaking things down so the common man can understand. They way he uses analogies to explain how capitalism and socialism already exists in our society is amazing! We need him doing more of this on MSM.
"Wage slavery" used to be a fairly commonly used term discussed during the Lincoln age Republican party. There is a great deal of cultural discussions movements and philosophies that were so successfully swept under the rug during the middle of the 20th century
Anand, we need you! We need you on major networks, on podcasts, on democracy now, singing from the rooftops about what's going down in this country. You're a powerful and articulate speaker and your words and wisdom are needed.
I've ordered two copies of his book and gave one to a friend because Anand has the most insightful take on our political economy that i've seen! Also, you could tell that Bloomberg had paid people to cheer for him and that Jim Clyburn's people were in the audience for Biden! This just proves that Machine Democrats and Republicans are the two sides of the same coin!
@@mrweasel metaphors/generalities/rhetoric like the following statement he made "Helium balloons, that billionaires are standing on people's back" I don't like at all.

How come you never ask how much are our illegal wars, how much the cost of our bombs are, our 1,000 bases around the world, etc.??? It has been proven it will save 2 trillion in the first 10 years, said right wing Koch brothers investigation, which they did to prove how Medicare for All would cost more. We KNOW it isn’t going to be free, but, it will cost so much less and people won’t have to lose everything if one family member gets sick in this disgusting for profit medical system, which causes millions of people to go bankrupt every year. Why do you want to keep subsidizing Walmart, Amazon and all those big corporations with financial assistance for food stamps etc., because they dont pay their people wages that can support them. It is cruel and goes against the dead American dream. The rich have killed that shit. Sure, there are a lucky few that make it and do well. But there are also far too many people, FAMILIES being thrown out to live on the streets because they’re disabled and cannot make ends meet because it isn’t close to enough for anyone to live on. People that get Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid are struggling so badly now, it is nearly impossible to live. Bernie is going to fight to increase it by making the rich pay the same rate as everyone else does. Take their cap off. And cut our bloated military budget of endless wars. They’re sick with power and one day, the world will come up against us for what we do.

@@danieldalton6544 - Agreed, i experience these people on a regular basis, a lot, and i don't cease to be amazed however there is a big part of the stupid out there that is culturally reenforced meaning that it is due to constant exposure of non-progressive thinking without so much as view onto a challenging thought. If you look at racism in America from say the nineteen thirties to present day, you could say that there has been great change due to changes in social mores and yes, the conversation yet there are those who defy basic common sense and there is a culture that supports that. Most people given the chance though, will live and let live. It's gotta make sense to them

"Cold War Trauma" What a great description for what so many of us lived through, and what it did to the way we see the world. Just to even use "Class War" as a description of the struggle for our own treasury & its fiat power is kicked out of most minds.
Anand, You are centered in truth ,reality and pragmatism. We need your voice every day over the PA in order to drown out the corruption and dystopia that steam rolls the world with such unfathomable horror. You are a zietgeist centered in the free fall of humanity hitting all the marks required to help turn the tide. I think your book and presentations have taken root and thus forms the front line of a solid premise and language required to holisticly evolve as a species. My appreciation for what you are doing is endless. Thank You
Thank you, thank you, thank you for giving Anand the platform to succinctly spell out the condition we find ourselves in and the need for all of us to step up and take ownership of our part in correcting and improving our society and the way we govern. If we do nothing, we deserve what we get. We can no longer just "roll with it" - we have to get involved... Participate... AND VOTE!

Thank you Democracy Now, Amy Goodman, and Anand. I have shared this on Facebook, and hopefully all my friends and family who don't agree with my political views, will listen and heed.

Anand’s book is a must read. Great job Anand!
Anand thank you for educating us. We feel what's going on but you have articulated for us. Keep up the good work Sir
I really like what Anand puts on the table, good vision.
Getting people in the red states to listen to this can go a long way
I would like to hope so, but some people can have the truth right in front of them and they'd call it a lie. So many fellow Americans anymore are happy in their ignorance and are unreachable lost causes. Sad.
@@danieldalton6544 - Agreed, i experience these people on a regular basis, a lot, and i don't cease to be amazed however there is a big part of the stupid out there that is culturally reenforced meaning that it is due to constant exposure of non-progressive thinking without so much as view onto a challenging thought. If you look at racism in America from say the nineteen thirties to present day, you could say that there has been great change due to changes in social mores and yes, the conversation yet there are those who defy basic common sense and there is a culture that supports that. Most people given the chance though, will live and let live. It's gotta make sense to them
MINDS that have been surveilled for years!!!!!!!!!!!!! thank you Anand
Love this guy.... Well said! 👏👏👏👏
Bloomberg is only making is clear that we need Bernie.
"Let's end this economic binary and have some understanding of economic fluidity " well said Anand.
That was the real deal with Anand. I pray for countless more eyes on his message.
Every time I watch Anand, I just love him more and more.
His eyes are wide open.
My gosh Anand is an incredible activist, please keep it up, you need your own channel!
When Sanders is asked about socialism, he should repeat what Anand said there, in addition to the "socialism for billionaires" line.
Anand always tells it like it really is!!!
This man is so right.What a great source of information.
Anand says it so clear! Right in front of our face. No more! Bernie 🔥🔥🔥🔥
anand has the best hair in punditry
Trueeeee lmaooo
lol. If I were his advisor it would be to suggest he look more mainstream so that his viewpoints might be taken more seriously by them. But, you know, f%^& them. Rock your vibe, Anand.
aldjfpaoiejfpaoijefa 😂😂😂
From 17:00 on is the thing people really don't understand. I'm so grateful that he made that point.
“The piñata in Nevada,” oh very funny! He was worth 53 billion when he entered now he’s worth 60 billion... this is disgusting! so true Anand, the great sin of hypocrisy giving some taking more.
So when you bust him open with a baseball bat, does money spill out instead of candy?
He's weorth 66 billion! RIGHT?
@@bestcongressmoneycanbuy9704 love it!!
Truth bomb after truth bomb. Well done Anand! You're a legend!
A large piece of cheese that ate a robot. Love this man.
Absolutely brilliant, spot on synopsis
Bernie Sanders is going to mop up the floor with Trump's combover durning the debates.
Bernie Sanders is a millionaire.
@@RocketmanRockyMatrix took him 70 years to get there. Keep that in mind.
@@RocketmanRockyMatrix So???? Honest Millionaire
RocketmanRockyMatrix apparently so is everyone living near downtown Los Angeles lol the homes there are worth no less than $800k so I guess err body there rich in the hood LOLOLOLOL
@@luljetasali6584 4 years ago, he was calling out the millionaires and billionaires, the 1%. Now he is just billionaires.
Anand Giridharadas book is wonder!! A must buy!
This man help me understand what I was thinking my whole 35 life. But when I read his book at 34 I realize its the system buying me to shut up with the coin trick. Bernie2020
THEY TRICK YOU EVERY TIME YOU VOTE ITS EVERY MAN AND WOMAN FOR THEMSELVES IN THIS COUNTRY
I love that you guys have Anand as a guest. Every couple sentences he says something incredibly insightful and witty.
many insightful points, congratulations
"Cold War Trauma" What a great description for what so many of us lived through, and what it did to the way we see the world. Just to even use "Class War" as a description of the struggle for our own treasury & its fiat power is kicked out of most minds.
Aside from his awesome hair, there are a lot of good points here. Yeah, I agree, the crowd and moderator on the debate were directed.
Anand, You are centered in truth ,reality and pragmatism. We need your voice every day over the PA in order to drown out the corruption and dystopia that steam rolls the world with such unfathomable horror. You are a zietgeist centered in the free fall of humanity hitting all the marks required to help turn the tide. I think your book and presentations have taken root and thus forms the front line of a solid premise and language required to holisticly evolve as a species. My appreciation for what you are doing is endless. Thank You
This is so brilliant!
Thanks Anand for being with us in this tragic time.
I enjoy this. . no interruption by Amy Goodman. . she just let him talk.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for giving Anand the platform to succinctly spell out the condition we find ourselves in and the need for all of us to step up and take ownership of our part in correcting and improving our society and the way we govern. If we do nothing, we deserve what we get. We can no longer just "roll with it" - we have to get involved... Participate... AND VOTE!
I like this guy. And this is the clearest he has ever layed it out before.
Anand is a breath of fresh air! He is opening eyes of people who take politics and societies seriously!
And everybody laughed at Italians 10 years ago cos they had berlusconi.
WOW! This guy is so spot on!
Excellent interview!
Possibly the best segment to explain the reality of our present time .
I actually had never heard "the pinata in Nevada." Credit Amy Goodman. Love it.
The last two minutes of what he said is the most powerful message.
Being a billionaire is just obscene! Nobody needs that kind of money. If you have it, give it away, back to the people.
What a breath of fresh air!
Awesome rant!!!!!!!!!!
Wiw, Anand is a breath of fresh air!
Thank you for a substantive conversatio.
Amy Goodman for Congress!
She's too valuable to be wasted in Congress.
Anand Giridharadas is brilliant! Hope to see him again soon.
Bernie seems sincere. America riding on an economic bubble, jobs with no future, and future with small number of billionaires.
A man who never held a real job outside of politics.
RocketmanRockyMatrix I guess carpentry doesn’t count or working for the people
Grow up
@@RocketmanRockyMatrix Says someone who believes in protestant ideals about how no one deserves a chance to better themselves, because your lords on earth told you they are wealthy cause God made it so. You are poor and you should be happy.
@@mrsoshadabaadman being optimistic leads to happiness. Being negative just brings you down.
@@punchcat1234 I worked as an maintenance worker and welder. To pay for my tuition. And currently work as an Accountant.
Thank you Democracy Now, Amy Goodman, and Anand. I have shared this on Facebook, and hopefully all my friends and family who don't agree with my political views, will listen and heed. Most of my friends are progressives, independent, or democrats; so, for them, I'm preaching to the choir. Your channel and people like Anand, not only inform me, but also help me maintain a modicum of sanity. Peace and Safety, from Alice in Aiken SC, a place where SC Republicans practice gerrymandering, and the wealthy live mostly behind guarded, gated walls.
The people who paid $1700 to $3200 for tickets were rich curious spectators at an entertainment event. It was a rock concert for the wealthy who know their fortunes are secure in all hands but Bernie's. They were there to jeer Bernie and applaud their idols.
I believe you speak of Buckley V. Valeo 424 US 1 1976. Something in desperate need of reversal.
@@briseboy Citizens United vs. Federal Elections Committee 2010 is a more recent example. Why didn't Obama stage an address to the nation on TV about it? Answer: He was complicit.
Anand speaks truth to power which we need more now than ever.
I love this guy, he reminds me of a woke brown Ryan Reynolds....keep telling truth to power
Ryan Reynolds!!! You nailed it!
Nailed it. It’s been driving me crazy who he reminds me of and you just gave me the answer. Thank you!
