    Very interesting and as stated, its not a yes or no, or a one cap fits all, i do think that taxing of large profit companies and that money is diverted to helping the causes of said issue, be it drugs, Kraft, Kellogg’s, Car Manufacturers, food companies, that way, the company itself, starts to change, getting better to make the world a better or healthier, place, the tik tok and facebookX/Twitter again its like the guy who starts an argument then leaves, its also a vast tool for misinformation, we have seen what can happen with this Via corrupt Trump and Conman Musk, we have seen and are guilty of the demise of small towns and big cities, due to Amazon. The thing that is most worrying, is the power these companies weald, this needs to be legislated for and taxed, but with restraints on how much they can charge, to many loopholes and as here in UK not enough accountability for our politicians, reform that is balanced and accountability, again we have seen the disgusting inequalities of Trumps antics, here it was Johnson and the other idiots put in prime positions. This is a Question that i asked all the time, i say, ok your worth £750,000,000 and married to a billionaire, whose father is a multibillionaire, you were part of the company that started the 2008 crash! Ok! Why would you want to be an MP to serve the local community earning £85,000 a year, within 3 years you are chancellor, and within 5 years your PM President! The whole system is crooked! I believe Harris is going to change fir the better.

    14:00 This is one of those where the tenor is criticized because the content is very uncomfortable for some. Tenor is important insofar as you want to come across clearly and change minds effectively. But I think Scott isn’t being judgemental, he’s urging people to become disenchanted with consumption-as-identity. Consumption to the point of disease is so deeply embedded in our culture* that it’s essentially invisible until you point it out, and when you point it out people get uncomfortable (* yes, with a big asterisk for people with genetic conditions and people with socioeconomic backgrounds that predispose them to poor nutrition).

    I’ve been in shape, I’ve been out of shape, and being in shape in a real tangible way is far more liberating. It’s liberating in a most basic and essential sense of the relationship my mind has with my body, of physical movement and ability. And it’s liberating for my wallet, because it turns out the simplest way to lose weight and reduce disease is to consume less, not to reorient all my consumption toward weight loss brands or grind it out at the gym to justify Starbucks.

    Nah, having kids isn’t the point. The future that the ruling class has created is bleak so people are refusing to have kids.

    Not only due to economics, mind you, it’s endocrine disruptors and other externalities as well. Global sperm count decline plus an economic system that has created the worst inequality in history. The future is bleak indeed.

    Mr Galloway jumps quickly from one subject to another. This fails anyone from questioning each point. Things are much more complicated and have downstream consequences. It only makes it sound like these are the answers.

    I didn’t hear him say that he, himself, won’t take social security when available. I don’t hear him saying that he himself will spend his millions to help society. Typical “do as I say, not what I do” of rich people.

    Losing at Capitalism shouldn’t cost you your life, health, safety, privacy, or human rights. We can and should have both a free market and a foundational safety net for people who fall through the cracks. A country worth fighting for invests in its citizens so the economy can take care of itself. We need to break down the monopolies and invest in local businesses. Tiktok isn’t the problem it’s the coping mechanism for the problem which is rugged individualism, social darwinism, Neoliberalism, and internalized capitalism. We need disruption and churn. We need critical education. We need proactive democracy. We need subsidized healthcare. We need election and property tax reform.

      A country cannot “invest.” A country can merely tax and distribute. I find arguments like this odd. What country are you living in currently? We are tens of trillions of dollars in debt and roughly 85% of that debt has come from the social safety net programs you are acting like we don’t have. The emphasis of this conversation is always on what society owes to the citizens. There’s hardly ever any discussion about what responsibilities the citizens have to themselves

  22. @paxdriver

    August 30, 2024 at 7:02 pm

    14:16 allow me to clarify before I even finish listening – I’m a guy who loves cuisine, loves exercise to cope with ADHD and insomnia. I was born diabetic and suffered several hospitalizations and crippling side effects of undiagnosed diabetes until finally at 27 I started getting insulin. My savings, my businesses, the career changes, my social life, everything suffered from the crippling conditions of diabetes and autoimmune disorders my free healthcare failed to diagnose and treat my whole life.

    Scott’s comments are not offensive even to diabetics who have endured tremendous suffering. Don’t be wanker. Just because a photon lands here and not there doesn’t mean God’s trying to snipe you from another dimension. It’s just part of a world that exists because of the forces of entropy as a function of time.

    When a policy is enacted to exploit a population, that’s victimhood, like capital gains income annual social security contributions (cpp/ei/qpip here in Canada), that creates victims. Being diabetic or not diabetic is not offensive just like short tall black white young or female or gay are not offensive.

    In life if you can’t find a laugh then you’re definitely missing something, no matter how much or little you’re suffering there’s no justification to be offended by stating a fact like “type II diabetes is genetic and preventable”, “type I diabetes is genetic”, or “borderline type I can be delayed but can also cause colitis, psoriasis, optic neuritis, fibromyalgia, arthritis and mental illness if unchecked, so keep an eye on things”

    If you can’t afford a vacation and marginal cost of larger orders is greater in higher quantities then I’m gonna eat more for more enjoyment. All humans think like that, it’s not just fat people even skinny men like me love food for the same reason. We are evolved to seek sugar and variety, of course à surge in wealth worldwide and synergy of population growth this century would induce pathological nutrition issues in a portion of the species.

    That’s not shaming its compassion!

    Abolishing unions and replacing them with a single overarching union in Washington D.C. would not be a solution without problems. I could be wrong, but that concept seems to have communistic vibes. For example, in the public sector, there will be employers who will be overjoyed to have the freedom to decide employees’ benefits so long as they abide by the minimum standard of federally mandated minimum wage and employees won’t be allowed to negotiate a collective bargaining agreement. It will be illegal for them to negotiate. In state with low cost of living, this may be fine, but the working class in states with high costs of living needs a certain amount of income to survive and be able to save money to have the hope of being able to have a house & family in the future. Think about it, conservatives want to conserve the ways of the past, but, when it comes to working conditions and compensation (for which unions form a collective bargaining agreement), do we want to go forward or backward? Why do you think Labor Day exists? Do we want to empower the working class or the elite? Also, if small businesses would fail as a result of federally mandated minimum wage, then will there be additional job opportunities for them elsewhere?

    University-educated elite look at blue-collar workers like we’re the scum of the earth, like we’re peasants, and we deserve what we receive because we’re either inferior to them intellectually or we’re underachievers who didn’t go to college or lacked the intelligence or gratification delay to obtain a degree. However, in the end of the day, we come from dust and we will return to dust. Being intelligent is great for technological advancements but not for shattering the illusions that our own minds create or for discerning between compulsive decisions and conscious decisions.

    A note of optimism, but as I approach 40 I am dubious that any real change can happen. Perpetually single and with dissolving chances of owning a home or starting a family, stripped of anything to care about. We are dealing with an intrenched hegemony that has its own interests at heart. It feels like being on the wrong side of a government bailout, robbing from the poor to give to the wealthy. This presentation has me reconsidering leaving America. It seems we have already peaked, and I dont want to be here as things unravel. I had a nightmare; I was trapped in Themepark America, where all we are is fodder for the economic grist mill. Misery for profit. All I wanted to do was escape this place with no future.
