WEBVTT - Capitalist Hamster Wheel

0:00:11.760 --> 0:00:14.720
<v Speaker 1>Good morning, peeps, and welcome to wilk F Daily with

0:00:14.840 --> 0:00:19.880
<v Speaker 1>me your girl, daniel Moody recording from the Home Bunker, Folks,

0:00:20.400 --> 0:00:25.120
<v Speaker 1>I am recording this a head of the vice presidential debate,

0:00:25.280 --> 0:00:30.200
<v Speaker 1>so to hear my commentary on that. Hopefully you tuned

0:00:30.200 --> 0:00:34.720
<v Speaker 1>in to Mary Trump Media for our live coverage and

0:00:35.159 --> 0:00:38.560
<v Speaker 1>hopefully you will have tuned in there, and then also

0:00:38.640 --> 0:00:43.199
<v Speaker 1>don't forget every Monday through Thursday on YouTube is the

0:00:43.280 --> 0:00:46.920
<v Speaker 1>Danielle Moody Show Live, so you can join me there

0:00:47.120 --> 0:00:52.080
<v Speaker 1>as well. But at the time of this recording, I'm

0:00:52.120 --> 0:00:56.600
<v Speaker 1>having some wild thoughts, folks, and I'm gonna share them

0:00:56.600 --> 0:01:01.520
<v Speaker 1>with you, which is I woke up this morning and

0:01:01.640 --> 0:01:06.000
<v Speaker 1>I was filled with a sense of dread that I

0:01:06.080 --> 0:01:10.080
<v Speaker 1>have not felt since July, since the change in the ticket.

0:01:10.600 --> 0:01:12.759
<v Speaker 1>And in all honesty, this is what I'm gonna say.

0:01:12.880 --> 0:01:17.959
<v Speaker 1>This has nothing to do with what the Harris Wall's

0:01:18.000 --> 0:01:21.320
<v Speaker 1>team is doing. I think that they are doing phenomenal.

0:01:21.520 --> 0:01:26.920
<v Speaker 1>I think that this ticket has revitalized people. I think

0:01:27.040 --> 0:01:32.720
<v Speaker 1>that they're messaging their road shows. Everything that they're doing

0:01:33.040 --> 0:01:36.600
<v Speaker 1>is Chef's Kiss perfect. So this is not at all

0:01:36.760 --> 0:01:41.520
<v Speaker 1>as what would normally be my critique on what Democrats

0:01:41.520 --> 0:01:43.360
<v Speaker 1>need to do and how they're shitty at messaging and

0:01:43.440 --> 0:01:45.959
<v Speaker 1>dah da da da, da da da. What I woke

0:01:46.040 --> 0:01:51.840
<v Speaker 1>up feeling a sense of dread around is that there

0:01:51.920 --> 0:02:02.360
<v Speaker 1>are just really well funded people and to keys organizations,

0:02:02.600 --> 0:02:09.440
<v Speaker 1>news outlets that are all conspiring to end democracy. And

0:02:10.840 --> 0:02:18.560
<v Speaker 1>it just struck me that if this were a normal election, right,

0:02:18.639 --> 0:02:22.960
<v Speaker 1>like if this were twenty twelve, and you know, it

0:02:23.080 --> 0:02:28.400
<v Speaker 1>was really about the Republican candidate versus the Democratic candidate,

0:02:28.560 --> 0:02:33.280
<v Speaker 1>and made the person with the best ideas win, right,

0:02:33.360 --> 0:02:37.239
<v Speaker 1>the one that can convince the American people of your

0:02:37.360 --> 0:02:43.520
<v Speaker 1>ideology wins, then I would say, hands down, Kamala Harris

0:02:43.560 --> 0:02:48.960
<v Speaker 1>is going to win. She has plans for our health care,

0:02:49.480 --> 0:02:55.040
<v Speaker 1>for our economy, for our education system. She has plans,

0:02:55.040 --> 0:03:00.200
<v Speaker 1>not concepts of a plan, but an actual plan. And

0:03:00.280 --> 0:03:07.240
<v Speaker 1>so if that were the case, and there warrant multi

0:03:07.440 --> 0:03:15.000
<v Speaker 1>billionaires like Peter Teel, Elon Musk and these other right

0:03:15.040 --> 0:03:20.680
<v Speaker 1>wing billionaire set that have all the money in the

0:03:20.720 --> 0:03:27.240
<v Speaker 1>world in order to spread their lives, that convinced the

0:03:27.320 --> 0:03:34.640
<v Speaker 1>American public that we should have a dictatorship, have a

0:03:34.639 --> 0:03:38.760
<v Speaker 1>American oligarchy. Because something, you know, I have to tell

0:03:38.800 --> 0:03:41.440
<v Speaker 1>you my mind has been working overdrive and I have

0:03:41.640 --> 0:03:44.160
<v Speaker 1>not I did not sleep last night at all, Like

0:03:44.240 --> 0:03:49.400
<v Speaker 1>I just my brain was just churning, churning, churning, and

0:03:49.480 --> 0:03:52.160
<v Speaker 1>I started to think about something. Hang with me for

0:03:52.240 --> 0:03:55.440
<v Speaker 1>a moment, one of my guilty pleasures, and I know

0:03:55.600 --> 0:03:57.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to embarrass myself and I don't care. I'm

0:03:57.920 --> 0:04:01.600
<v Speaker 1>telling you all. The truth of my guilty pleasures is

0:04:01.640 --> 0:04:05.120
<v Speaker 1>that I hate love watch the Kardashians. Yes, I have

0:04:05.280 --> 0:04:09.839
<v Speaker 1>fueled their multi billion dollar empire because I watch it.

0:04:09.960 --> 0:04:15.200
<v Speaker 1>Funny enough, with very much an analyst's mindset, which is like,

0:04:15.360 --> 0:04:19.239
<v Speaker 1>how did we get here, like as a society where

0:04:19.760 --> 0:04:23.960
<v Speaker 1>at one time, let's just walk down the path of

0:04:24.120 --> 0:04:28.480
<v Speaker 1>America and how you had these group of religious right

0:04:28.560 --> 0:04:33.920
<v Speaker 1>wing zealots that left the British to flee from persecution

0:04:34.560 --> 0:04:37.080
<v Speaker 1>because they were right wing zealots. They were not looking

0:04:37.120 --> 0:04:41.240
<v Speaker 1>for religious freedom. They were looking to indoctrinate everyone around them.

0:04:41.320 --> 0:04:44.279
<v Speaker 1>So let's just be clear on that they come to

0:04:44.360 --> 0:04:48.800
<v Speaker 1>the United States and create this thing called democracy where

0:04:49.480 --> 0:04:51.240
<v Speaker 1>you were not going to have to serve a king,

0:04:51.680 --> 0:04:55.760
<v Speaker 1>and that there are not based on royal blood, this

0:04:55.920 --> 0:04:59.599
<v Speaker 1>designation of wealth, that we are going to have a

0:04:59.680 --> 0:05:05.280
<v Speaker 1>more equitably just system these coming from the people obviously

0:05:05.400 --> 0:05:09.120
<v Speaker 1>that created the Transatlantic slave trade and used it in

0:05:09.240 --> 0:05:14.080
<v Speaker 1>order to build said country. I digress. But what happened

0:05:14.279 --> 0:05:19.320
<v Speaker 1>was instead of their being and there were still the wealthy, right,

0:05:19.400 --> 0:05:24.160
<v Speaker 1>the Rockefellers and others, right, that were the titans quote

0:05:24.200 --> 0:05:28.280
<v Speaker 1>unquote of industry, But we kind of moved away from

0:05:28.360 --> 0:05:34.640
<v Speaker 1>this idea of these mini fiefdoms and people you know,

0:05:34.760 --> 0:05:37.360
<v Speaker 1>had their own homes and their white picket fence and

0:05:37.680 --> 0:05:40.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, their own backyards and all of these things.

0:05:40.960 --> 0:05:43.960
<v Speaker 1>But over the course of time, and I've actually like

0:05:44.080 --> 0:05:49.320
<v Speaker 1>been watching this through the Kardashians. The Kardashians were rich

0:05:49.920 --> 0:05:53.480
<v Speaker 1>when the show started twenty years ago. I don't even

0:05:53.480 --> 0:05:54.960
<v Speaker 1>know how long they've been on the air. It feels

0:05:55.000 --> 0:06:01.600
<v Speaker 1>like forever. They were rich, living in Beverly Hills. One

0:06:02.000 --> 0:06:06.760
<v Speaker 1>parent was an Olympian, the other one was a famed lawyer,

0:06:07.279 --> 0:06:11.120
<v Speaker 1>sending their kids to school in Beverly Hills, private schools,

0:06:11.200 --> 0:06:14.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, doing all these things. But if you go

0:06:14.400 --> 0:06:18.320
<v Speaker 1>back to like the beginning of the show, they were

0:06:18.400 --> 0:06:22.440
<v Speaker 1>regular rich. You have the big house, and you have

0:06:22.920 --> 0:06:25.640
<v Speaker 1>a couple of nice cars, and you throw parties, right,

0:06:25.680 --> 0:06:28.320
<v Speaker 1>But you're like working. They were going out and doing

0:06:28.360 --> 0:06:31.520
<v Speaker 1>speaking and you know, and selling shit and like whatever.

0:06:32.080 --> 0:06:36.400
<v Speaker 1>Kim Kardashian was organizing friends closets for money and like

0:06:36.560 --> 0:06:41.080
<v Speaker 1>doing things. But because of Reality TV, because of their

0:06:41.160 --> 0:06:47.760
<v Speaker 1>ability to recognize that they were indeed the product. So

0:06:47.960 --> 0:06:53.960
<v Speaker 1>instead of them partnering, which is how they started partnering

0:06:54.040 --> 0:06:58.240
<v Speaker 1>with brands, getting endorsements and then you know, hawking that

0:06:58.320 --> 0:07:01.479
<v Speaker 1>brand stuff, they started to say, wait a minute, why

0:07:01.520 --> 0:07:04.320
<v Speaker 1>am I only taking this piece when it's my celebrity

0:07:04.360 --> 0:07:07.680
<v Speaker 1>that's selling X And so I am now going to

0:07:07.800 --> 0:07:12.920
<v Speaker 1>commodify every aspect of my life from the eyes on

0:07:13.000 --> 0:07:15.440
<v Speaker 1>Instagram to Twitter, to this, that and the other thing

0:07:15.520 --> 0:07:20.040
<v Speaker 1>to the reality TV show And now they are uber rich,

0:07:20.400 --> 0:07:26.800
<v Speaker 1>private planes and staff of fifty rich, multiple nannies, security,

0:07:27.160 --> 0:07:31.480
<v Speaker 1>like the whole nine. They went from this regular idea

0:07:31.760 --> 0:07:37.080
<v Speaker 1>of the quote unquote American dream, which is ascending to prosperity,

0:07:37.400 --> 0:07:40.600
<v Speaker 1>to blowing that shit out of the water to where

0:07:41.920 --> 0:07:47.880
<v Speaker 1>they have created this culture of celebrity worship and commodification

0:07:48.520 --> 0:07:50.960
<v Speaker 1>of brand and image and all of these things. And

0:07:51.000 --> 0:07:53.760
<v Speaker 1>they've done it, whether or not you like it or not.

0:07:54.440 --> 0:07:57.440
<v Speaker 1>In probably one of the most brilliant fashions, which is

0:07:57.520 --> 0:08:01.560
<v Speaker 1>why they are multi billionaires. Now that being said, they

0:08:01.560 --> 0:08:05.440
<v Speaker 1>didn't start from nothing. They started from millions and then

0:08:06.000 --> 0:08:10.040
<v Speaker 1>we're able to parlay that into billions. Right. But they've

0:08:10.120 --> 0:08:16.560
<v Speaker 1>all these celebrities now have created these dynasties where we

0:08:16.680 --> 0:08:21.080
<v Speaker 1>have gone back. We don't have a centralized king, but

0:08:21.200 --> 0:08:26.160
<v Speaker 1>they all have their own dynasties that are being fueled

0:08:26.640 --> 0:08:32.000
<v Speaker 1>by us. We are paying into it. And once these

0:08:33.080 --> 0:08:39.600
<v Speaker 1>people and the industry realized you can control engagement through

0:08:39.679 --> 0:08:42.880
<v Speaker 1>algorithms and all of these things and sell you stuff

0:08:43.200 --> 0:08:47.240
<v Speaker 1>all the fucking time you're being sold to. It is

0:08:47.320 --> 0:08:51.880
<v Speaker 1>like our tension became the ultimate product that has fueled

0:08:51.920 --> 0:08:56.480
<v Speaker 1>this new age of like the Downton Abbey's and the

0:08:56.559 --> 0:08:59.440
<v Speaker 1>Bridgeton and all of that fantasy type of thing. But

0:08:59.480 --> 0:09:02.600
<v Speaker 1>it's happened in real life where the rest of us

0:09:02.840 --> 0:09:10.920
<v Speaker 1>our wealth has decreased while the wealthy have become exponentially wealthier.

0:09:14.120 --> 0:09:17.160
<v Speaker 1>So I think about this, folks, and I think about

0:09:17.200 --> 0:09:23.240
<v Speaker 1>the position that we're in where twenty years ago, a

0:09:23.360 --> 0:09:27.200
<v Speaker 1>six figure salary should have been able to buy you

0:09:27.280 --> 0:09:30.679
<v Speaker 1>a home, having a six figure salary should have been

0:09:30.679 --> 0:09:33.400
<v Speaker 1>able to buy you a home. Having a six figure

0:09:33.480 --> 0:09:40.360
<v Speaker 1>salary in twenty twenty four means absolutely nothing, but it

0:09:40.440 --> 0:09:45.400
<v Speaker 1>meant everything in two thousand. So because the uber wealthy

0:09:45.520 --> 0:09:49.480
<v Speaker 1>has increased their wealth by such a scale in such

0:09:49.520 --> 0:09:53.360
<v Speaker 1>a short period of time, there was never any trickle

0:09:53.440 --> 0:09:58.439
<v Speaker 1>down that happened. Like we as middle class, working class

0:09:58.520 --> 0:10:03.920
<v Speaker 1>people that get app just got bigger and bigger and bigger.

0:10:04.679 --> 0:10:08.400
<v Speaker 1>It's wild to watch it in real time as you're

0:10:08.440 --> 0:10:10.880
<v Speaker 1>watching these shows and you're sinking to yourself, well, wait

0:10:10.920 --> 0:10:14.640
<v Speaker 1>a minute, what's happened with me over the last twenty

0:10:14.720 --> 0:10:20.160
<v Speaker 1>years and my economic viability? While these people went from

0:10:20.520 --> 0:10:26.880
<v Speaker 1>normal rich to filthy fucking PJ private Jet rich, what

0:10:26.920 --> 0:10:30.400
<v Speaker 1>has happened to the rest of us? Well, corporations have

0:10:30.520 --> 0:10:35.640
<v Speaker 1>bought up mortgages, driving prices through the roof. It has

0:10:35.800 --> 0:10:41.120
<v Speaker 1>become just a known debt to even go to university,

0:10:41.160 --> 0:10:43.640
<v Speaker 1>which you were told that you needed to do. So

0:10:43.760 --> 0:10:48.200
<v Speaker 1>you're already you're told, oh, make six figures, right, but

0:10:48.280 --> 0:10:51.200
<v Speaker 1>you're in order to do that, going into six figures

0:10:51.240 --> 0:10:54.959
<v Speaker 1>worth of debt to then be locked inside of this

0:10:55.160 --> 0:11:00.760
<v Speaker 1>trap of just keeping your head above water. Because I

0:11:00.840 --> 0:11:03.480
<v Speaker 1>was saying to my mom the other day, and I

0:11:03.520 --> 0:11:05.800
<v Speaker 1>promise you. I'm getting back to Peter Tiel and like

0:11:05.920 --> 0:11:10.520
<v Speaker 1>these technocrats is that I don't even think in the

0:11:10.559 --> 0:11:14.960
<v Speaker 1>grand scheme of things, what we perceived being the quote

0:11:15.040 --> 0:11:20.160
<v Speaker 1>unquote middle class is even the middle class anymore? Like

0:11:20.280 --> 0:11:24.160
<v Speaker 1>I think that for you to be considered middle class,

0:11:25.600 --> 0:11:29.679
<v Speaker 1>you need to be making well into the six figures,

0:11:30.480 --> 0:11:33.480
<v Speaker 1>like not with a one in front of it. And

0:11:33.559 --> 0:11:39.480
<v Speaker 1>that's fucking wild. So we're making more money or working

0:11:39.520 --> 0:11:43.439
<v Speaker 1>to make more money in order to actually have less.

0:11:44.200 --> 0:11:47.760
<v Speaker 1>And so you have these people who are sitting in

0:11:47.800 --> 0:11:52.080
<v Speaker 1>their fiefdoms, in their dynasties that they've created. Elon Musk

0:11:52.400 --> 0:11:56.239
<v Speaker 1>is on the verge of becoming the world's first trillionaire.

0:11:56.720 --> 0:12:00.720
<v Speaker 1>He's the most despicable, disgusting human being, which makes me

0:12:00.800 --> 0:12:03.600
<v Speaker 1>think about higher powers and really like, this is what

0:12:03.640 --> 0:12:06.000
<v Speaker 1>we're this is who we're giving this to, right, Like,

0:12:07.440 --> 0:12:09.720
<v Speaker 1>what's the lesson here that the rest of us are

0:12:09.720 --> 0:12:12.959
<v Speaker 1>supposed to learn, like to be as disgusting, as cunning

0:12:13.160 --> 0:12:16.320
<v Speaker 1>as you know whatever, in order to just get yours?

0:12:16.360 --> 0:12:19.800
<v Speaker 1>Like is that the lesson? But you look at these people,

0:12:19.840 --> 0:12:23.800
<v Speaker 1>and because we're grinding so much harder than we did

0:12:23.960 --> 0:12:28.600
<v Speaker 1>twenty years ago to get so much less, and we're

0:12:28.640 --> 0:12:32.120
<v Speaker 1>so exhausted by doing it, but we're being force fed

0:12:32.720 --> 0:12:35.280
<v Speaker 1>that we're not doing enough. You need to grind, hard,

0:12:35.400 --> 0:12:39.200
<v Speaker 1>rise and grind in all of these things. These master

0:12:39.360 --> 0:12:45.800
<v Speaker 1>manipulators who have created the algorithm that have turned our

0:12:45.920 --> 0:12:52.120
<v Speaker 1>lives upside down and make us just center capitalism in

0:12:52.160 --> 0:12:55.640
<v Speaker 1>a way that I don't think that we had really before,

0:12:55.760 --> 0:12:58.440
<v Speaker 1>because it wasn't shoved in our face all the time.

0:12:58.760 --> 0:13:01.319
<v Speaker 1>Of all the things you could have. Even look at

0:13:01.320 --> 0:13:05.880
<v Speaker 1>the people cleaning you watch those cleaning videos on Instagram

0:13:06.000 --> 0:13:09.520
<v Speaker 1>or on TikTok. These people that like have every gadget

0:13:09.559 --> 0:13:12.680
<v Speaker 1>for everything, like the screen cleaner and the ear thing

0:13:12.720 --> 0:13:14.560
<v Speaker 1>cleaner and the bub blah blah blah blah, and they

0:13:14.600 --> 0:13:18.600
<v Speaker 1>have their fridges look like the Wegmans or a Target

0:13:18.920 --> 0:13:22.440
<v Speaker 1>or what have you. And it's like this over consumption. Oh,

0:13:22.480 --> 0:13:26.280
<v Speaker 1>I must have eighty six juice boxes in my fridge

0:13:26.320 --> 0:13:28.480
<v Speaker 1>at all time and they must be aligned just so,

0:13:28.640 --> 0:13:31.440
<v Speaker 1>and I must have this thing, and in a I'm

0:13:31.480 --> 0:13:34.920
<v Speaker 1>not successful unless I have pop up, up, up, up, up,

0:13:35.000 --> 0:13:38.560
<v Speaker 1>up up up. All of those things have just become more.

0:13:38.800 --> 0:13:42.880
<v Speaker 1>Everything is more, and so because of that we worship

0:13:42.920 --> 0:13:48.240
<v Speaker 1>wealth and we worship celebrity, and so it doesn't even

0:13:48.320 --> 0:13:52.560
<v Speaker 1>matter that Elon Musk isn't smart, It doesn't matter that

0:13:52.720 --> 0:13:56.400
<v Speaker 1>Peter Tiel is a lunatic. It just matters how much

0:13:56.440 --> 0:14:00.240
<v Speaker 1>money they have and people listen to them, because at

0:14:00.240 --> 0:14:03.920
<v Speaker 1>the end of the day, why is Reality TV, Real Housewives, this,

0:14:04.000 --> 0:14:07.160
<v Speaker 1>the Kardashians blah blah, Why are they so successful? Because

0:14:07.200 --> 0:14:10.360
<v Speaker 1>we want a window into what life could possibly be

0:14:10.640 --> 0:14:14.800
<v Speaker 1>if we all won the lottery, and they weaponized that.

0:14:15.360 --> 0:14:21.040
<v Speaker 1>The Republican Party has weaponized that that desire. And so

0:14:21.480 --> 0:14:24.640
<v Speaker 1>I think about my parents when they were my age,

0:14:24.680 --> 0:14:26.440
<v Speaker 1>like where they were and what they had, and I

0:14:26.520 --> 0:14:29.880
<v Speaker 1>was having this conversation with my mom and she's just like,

0:14:29.960 --> 0:14:34.520
<v Speaker 1>you can't even compare it because she's like, I made

0:14:34.600 --> 0:14:37.920
<v Speaker 1>so much less than you guys made, but I was

0:14:38.040 --> 0:14:41.040
<v Speaker 1>able to buy a home. I was able to do

0:14:41.160 --> 0:14:44.360
<v Speaker 1>all of these things because interest rates may have been

0:14:44.480 --> 0:14:48.000
<v Speaker 1>at five percent when I bought, but the homes were

0:14:48.320 --> 0:14:53.000
<v Speaker 1>twenty thirty, forty fifty thousand dollars, so it balanced it out.

0:14:53.000 --> 0:14:55.840
<v Speaker 1>But now you're looking at interest rates that are six

0:14:56.040 --> 0:15:00.880
<v Speaker 1>seven percent and homes on average way I grew up

0:15:02.080 --> 0:15:06.520
<v Speaker 1>on average or six hundred and fifty thousand dollars. And

0:15:06.640 --> 0:15:15.360
<v Speaker 1>this was a neighborhood that was like middle working class neighborhood. Teachers, doctors, firefighters, nurses,

0:15:16.040 --> 0:15:19.160
<v Speaker 1>some sprinklings of doctors and lawyers, but it was like

0:15:20.120 --> 0:15:25.560
<v Speaker 1>regular people. So you look at this and you look

0:15:25.600 --> 0:15:30.440
<v Speaker 1>at these forces, the Republican forces that lie and tell

0:15:30.600 --> 0:15:35.480
<v Speaker 1>people that the reason why your economic conditions are bad

0:15:35.680 --> 0:15:40.520
<v Speaker 1>is because of Democrats and because of whatever lie that

0:15:40.560 --> 0:15:42.480
<v Speaker 1>they want to tell you. But the thing is is

0:15:42.520 --> 0:15:46.480
<v Speaker 1>that most of us are seeking an answer why am

0:15:46.480 --> 0:15:52.440
<v Speaker 1>I struggling so much more than my parents did, but

0:15:52.600 --> 0:15:57.800
<v Speaker 1>I make more money? The weaponization of wealth and the

0:15:57.840 --> 0:16:02.280
<v Speaker 1>lies that they're able to tell, and the forces also

0:16:02.760 --> 0:16:06.760
<v Speaker 1>that this collected one percent can hold on to their

0:16:06.840 --> 0:16:11.000
<v Speaker 1>dynasties and then we have no choice but being forced

0:16:11.400 --> 0:16:16.240
<v Speaker 1>to like work for them just to get a little breakoff, right,

0:16:16.400 --> 0:16:21.920
<v Speaker 1>Like it's the serfdom, and it's absolutely wild. But when

0:16:21.920 --> 0:16:24.880
<v Speaker 1>you look at corporate mainstream media and what they're doing

0:16:25.480 --> 0:16:28.560
<v Speaker 1>to ensure that there is a Trump win, When you

0:16:28.600 --> 0:16:30.720
<v Speaker 1>look at Elon Musk and what he's putting on his

0:16:30.760 --> 0:16:34.680
<v Speaker 1>social media to two hundred million followers, when you're looking

0:16:34.760 --> 0:16:38.240
<v Speaker 1>at those that are advocating their responsibility because they just

0:16:38.280 --> 0:16:41.040
<v Speaker 1>want to keep their money. You just realize that, like

0:16:41.600 --> 0:16:44.000
<v Speaker 1>while I say at the end of every show, power

0:16:44.080 --> 0:16:46.280
<v Speaker 1>to the people, and to all the people. Power. The

0:16:46.360 --> 0:16:50.160
<v Speaker 1>people have been slowly robbed of their power and agency

0:16:50.680 --> 0:16:55.080
<v Speaker 1>over the last twenty thirty years. Oh it was cut

0:16:55.080 --> 0:16:58.280
<v Speaker 1>the cord with the TV behind me, cut the cord

0:16:58.600 --> 0:17:02.480
<v Speaker 1>and just get streaming. And then every outlet became streaming.

0:17:02.760 --> 0:17:04.800
<v Speaker 1>So now if you're paying for cable and all of

0:17:04.800 --> 0:17:08.440
<v Speaker 1>these streaming, you're actually paying more than what you were

0:17:08.480 --> 0:17:12.800
<v Speaker 1>paying like ten years ago, because everything has its own

0:17:12.880 --> 0:17:16.920
<v Speaker 1>fucking streaming app. They're coming at us from every direction.

0:17:18.119 --> 0:17:23.320
<v Speaker 1>And I honestly don't know if we ever right size again,

0:17:23.840 --> 0:17:27.600
<v Speaker 1>meaning that the ninety nine percent hold the ninety nine

0:17:27.680 --> 0:17:33.000
<v Speaker 1>percent of wealth. I don't think that we do. I

0:17:33.000 --> 0:17:39.080
<v Speaker 1>don't know if the insatiability of the wealthy is ever tamed,

0:17:40.160 --> 0:17:45.680
<v Speaker 1>because the more that they have, the more that they want.

0:17:46.240 --> 0:17:48.760
<v Speaker 1>I say all that to say that we're already living

0:17:48.880 --> 0:17:56.600
<v Speaker 1>inside of the Hunger Games. We're already living inside of

0:17:56.880 --> 0:18:03.840
<v Speaker 1>this kind of weird, altered reality where this certain set

0:18:04.160 --> 0:18:09.399
<v Speaker 1>gets wealthier and wealthier beyond our wildest dreams and the

0:18:09.440 --> 0:18:13.040
<v Speaker 1>rest of us struggle more and more and more, but

0:18:13.119 --> 0:18:15.640
<v Speaker 1>we're told that we're the problem and not the system

0:18:16.640 --> 0:18:19.359
<v Speaker 1>because a few have been able to succeed. But it

0:18:19.480 --> 0:18:23.199
<v Speaker 1>was like succeeding when if you're running a marathon and

0:18:23.280 --> 0:18:26.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm starting from mile twenty with fresh legs and everybody

0:18:26.480 --> 0:18:30.680
<v Speaker 1>else is starting from mile one, but I win? How

0:18:30.720 --> 0:18:34.080
<v Speaker 1>am I considered the winner? But that is where we

0:18:34.160 --> 0:18:37.240
<v Speaker 1>are in America. And that is what the Republican Party

0:18:37.359 --> 0:18:41.440
<v Speaker 1>is exploiting right now. And I'm refer it's the weaponization

0:18:41.560 --> 0:18:47.199
<v Speaker 1>of wealth and envy and this like insatiable greed that

0:18:47.960 --> 0:18:51.560
<v Speaker 1>the wealthy have like they can't ever get enough. And

0:18:51.800 --> 0:18:55.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't know where it ends, I really don't, but

0:18:55.080 --> 0:18:57.400
<v Speaker 1>it's something that has been keeping me up at night

0:18:58.280 --> 0:19:03.120
<v Speaker 1>and making me wonder about how much does it take

0:19:03.960 --> 0:19:09.480
<v Speaker 1>these days in order to be comfortable. By comfortable, I

0:19:09.560 --> 0:19:12.760
<v Speaker 1>mean that if a bill comes up unexpected, you can

0:19:12.800 --> 0:19:15.840
<v Speaker 1>pay it and it's not you know, there's no sweat

0:19:15.880 --> 0:19:20.200
<v Speaker 1>on your brow, right, that you can have small luxuries

0:19:20.359 --> 0:19:25.119
<v Speaker 1>like vacations and gifts for yourself, like and own a

0:19:25.160 --> 0:19:28.520
<v Speaker 1>whole like what is that number? And I think that

0:19:28.640 --> 0:19:34.640
<v Speaker 1>because the system has been so rigged again Republicans are

0:19:34.720 --> 0:19:39.840
<v Speaker 1>able to exacerbate the pain that we're all feeling because

0:19:39.840 --> 0:19:45.479
<v Speaker 1>it's the pain that they've created. Because I'm decades into

0:19:45.600 --> 0:19:48.640
<v Speaker 1>the workforce and wondering when this is a trickle down

0:19:48.680 --> 0:19:53.480
<v Speaker 1>actually happen, it doesn't, And just you know, honestly, I'll

0:19:53.480 --> 0:19:57.760
<v Speaker 1>close out with this, which is that I poke fun

0:19:58.000 --> 0:20:01.919
<v Speaker 1>at economic and anxiety because I think that it is

0:20:02.040 --> 0:20:11.040
<v Speaker 1>code for racism. But there is actually a shared struggle

0:20:11.119 --> 0:20:14.399
<v Speaker 1>that is happening. But instead of us dealing with that

0:20:14.560 --> 0:20:20.359
<v Speaker 1>shared struggle, we're pitted against one another because of our race,

0:20:20.480 --> 0:20:24.520
<v Speaker 1>because of our immigration status, because of our sexual orientation,

0:20:24.680 --> 0:20:28.000
<v Speaker 1>our gender identity, and we never get to the core

0:20:28.040 --> 0:20:30.480
<v Speaker 1>of the core. So if they can keep us struggling

0:20:30.640 --> 0:20:34.720
<v Speaker 1>over that basic shit, then we don't realize that they're

0:20:34.800 --> 0:20:41.480
<v Speaker 1>robbing us blind. That is it for me today, Dear friends,
