23. Bad Dreams sc 1 frank interrogation room 

Fuck an A man. Well put.

True, but at least for now, the Port of Baltimore in real life is doing quite well, far better in the 90's.

Exactly. Sobotka was doing what he was doing to keep the port workers alive.

I'm not sure why Simon picked the docks to do a statement on the decline of the working class, because it's still a pretty lively port even with it's distance and canal limitations. They're updating the facilities pretty often. Maybe there was a slump at that time and he picked up on that.

I wouldn't go so far as to say that Sobatka was right to dabble in the illegal, but we can easily say that he's not like the Greek or his minions. He did wrong, but his heart was in the right place, and as a postal worker who is currently being warned about layoffs thanks to corporate morons cutting back on people in order to save money, I can totally sympathize with this guy.

Yes, absolutely. Here in the South, modern day police forces are the historical evolution from the "sl@ve patrols" of two centuries ago. Talk about "no friend of labor"!

I also think that season 2 is the first season where the show shifts its focus to a new batch of storylines and characters. I think it was jarring in season 2, but became less jarring in later seasons when the audience knew that it was coming. Just my theory.

Definitely, I think that but also how regular people become criminals. Crime is economically related, yet what meaningful economic reforms are put in place to stop it? Nothing, turns regular people into crooks out of necessity

Season 2 ending was very sad too. It was death of an era.

Play in dirt, you get dirty.

This is about unfettered Neo liberalism that destroys lives and values only money and treats ple as disposable objects. He is personally irrelevant

@@samuelmuiruri4704 When the conservatives are the one issuing bailout after bailout for businesses and the stock market yet leaving people high and dry during an epidemic how is this neo liberalisms fault.

@@DavianLicanius Neoliberalism is a very conservative economic doctrine that took hold of the United States with the election of Ronald Reagan. It refers to the freedom of markets, not people.

@@qkljhewgfhergk "Neoliberalism is a very conservative economic doctrine" You can call it conservative all you want, it sure as hell isn't free market which is what capitalism is. Neo-liberalism is far closer to communism.

Well said

For decades, more less since Reagan presidency we heard propaganda how bad trade unions are, how they destroy entrepreneurship and innovations in economy because of high costs of labour. And what? The trade unions nearly don't exist these days and still factories were moved to Mexico or China because Americans couldn't be cheaper than them. We also heard a lot that this is kind of natural order in economy. It was repeated again and again like a dogma and who didn't agree with this was a leftist, communist, socialist, i.e. pretty much enemy of the western lifestyle. And what is happening now? We're at the edge of the global war between China and USA, the war in Ukraine is a part of that conflict (Putin decided to test Americans' strength because he believed they weakened too much to do anything) because Chinese economy and export grew so much because of the corporation's greed and stupid politicians who gave them so much power. This is what we have because of that "natural order of things". If it's a natural order, how is it possible that the US and in general West economy was based on very different rules during the Cold War and was doing pretty well. In fact, it was the most prosperous economy in the world and the Soviet Union, another world superpower, had no match to that.

It was good but I liked 4 when the kids show up

easy

for sure

Totally agree.

hated it the first time i saw it but now i think it is the best season.

The more i live this corporate/ professional life, the more I see myself collecting more and more rehearsed and ‘’automated’’ lines and phrases that I rehash in meetings and work conversations. As much as people don’t like hearing this, It absolutely works because it’s effective and gets the point across but man, this culture of professionalism can be soulless.

what did you just say ?

Likely because of the women who died in the container. Those women were part of the sex trafficking ring that the Greeks were involved in and if you look at Wikipedia, the modern legal term applies more narrowly to sexual slavery, forced prostitution and human trafficking, with less focus on the race of victims or perpetrators.

"White slavery" is not a legitimate legal term. The only relevant charge would be sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion under 18 USC 77. "White slavery" is a term from back when American culture considered crimes against white people as qualitatively different than crimes against non-white people. No one refers to African sex trafficking as "white slavery". It's an outdated, racist term.

@@nelumbonucifera7537 who cares, the point is that they were helping in sex slavery and got involved in covering up the deaths of 14 women

Yeah I'm confused because wouldn't it just be slavery? Kinda reminds me of how immigrants in the Middle East are immigrants, but white immigrants are 'expats'. Slavery is slavery, there is no black or white or whatever else slavery, just like how immigrants are immigrants calling them expats just makes you sound like a douche bag

I could understand his message in 2016 about bring jobs back to a country that has seemed to outsource more and more each year. Trump not only net lost manufacturing jobs pre pandemic, he also divided a country deeper and harder than it has been in 100 years. Will joe Biden fix this problem? I don’t know, but I know we have a better shot at this point than with trump.

@@tommyflynn1778 Aa an outsider I saw no evidence of Trump dividing the country. He seemed a very straightforward nationalist that consists rly put his countries interests first. The division was coming entirely from people who didn’t like that he was instituting reforms that favoured the national interest rather than their utopian desires, and blamed him for their own seething hatred and resentment. It was like watching a wife beater screaming that he was only burning the house because she made him do it.

@@defenstrator4660 In four years republicans went from wanting to bring jobs back to our country to literally undermining democracy. If he had his countries interests at heart he wouldn't have berated important alliances and NET LOST MANUFACTURING JOBS BEFORE THE PANDEMIC STARTED. We are doing worse than THIRD WORLD COUNTRIES in coronavirus prevention because half the country has their heads up their asses. You clearly aren't watching American politics close enough to have a good opinion.

@@tommyflynn1778 Before the pandemic black people had the lowest unemployment rate in American history. And while all these people bettered themselves I watched the left pray for a recession because without one Trump was going to get a second term. People going to suffer for it? Fuck them, hate for Trump is more important than the suffering of others. I watched black people he called Uncle Tom because they weren’t going to vote the right way by people who think only who’re people are going yo have a diversity of opinion a. I watched people destroy other people’s livelihoods in an orgy of destruction because they felt being angry meant they could hurt whoever they want. I saw cities make them selves sanctuary zones in direct defiance of the law and separation of powers. And i didn’t see anyone in the left standing up for this destruction of order, civility, and democracy. Stop projecting your behaviour onto others. The world has enough bigots.

@@defenstrator4660 your not worth my breath. stop reading breitbart

It's a categoric term which refers to women trafficked for the purpose of sexual slavery, ie prostitution. Has nothing to do with race.

You're cringe
