I read some YouTube statistics recently that included the following: In just the year 2015, the total time spent by people watching only the TEN most popular YouTube music videos -- just those ten videos -- it's a total watch time of 37, 000 YEARS. And yet this site still has only 28k subscribers. It makes a sentient being grateful for his opposable thumbs, so he can facepalm. But I'm still forwarding this channel to everyone I know, and I hope you all do too. Keep 'em coming Rick, the traction's growing. We can all feel it.

An interview with Peter Joseph (author of the just released book "The New Human Rights Movement - Reinventing the Economy to End Oppression") would be really interesting!

Wolff should get Max Keiser on soon to talk about the current state of the monetary/financial system.

Richard Wolff, if you are familiar with it, can you comment in a video about the book "The Great Leveler: Violence and the History of Inequality from the Stone Age to the Twenty-First Century" by Walter Scheidel.

Down and down we go
Round and round we go
Like a leaf caught in a tide
Under the old black magic called...political manipulation.

Like I said yesterday, sufficient protests will not happen. "Pressures from below" in 2:24, need to be long and sustained to be effective, and people just will not do it. Too much bread, too many circusses, too much manipulation in the media, too lazy, too fat.
Be nice if it did though, wouldn't it?

Got a book on amazon by Michael Hudson- Finance capitalism and its discontents, and have learned more in the last month about the big picture then I can handle. It's 100 times worse than you think, sorry to say

[coolconfuzer]

I agree with him right up until the whole wealth redistribution thing.
