Prof Wolff reacts to the new relief bill just passed by the US congress. He says that this bill, pushed by the Republicans and accepted by the Democratic establishment, is an awful betrayal of a huge number of Americans who are suffering because of this system's level of greed for the few.

Time to build the ecosocialist Green Party! The Gallup Poll said a MAJORITY of Americans want a new party, but don't KNOW we HAVE one! The WORKING CLASS IS THE MAJORITY! That means we can win if we all join one party! The Greens have gotten on the ballot in almost every state, have gotten Federal Matching Funds, and have won hundreds.of local races. But you wouldn't know that from the corporate media. They won't cover NON-corporate parties. Time to spread the word and build the Greens. Enough time wasted on the (un)Democratic party! Extinction is breathing down our necks! www.gp.org

@Don Alpha What is you definition of VALUE? Yeah, so he can buy and control entire countries if he wants to and dominate as many people as he wishes. Maybe we can crown him King and get down on our knees and worship him and all the money he made. Maybe I can wash his feet and he may bestow a few crumbs upon me. Becoming rich on the fruits and ideas of other's labor while keeping 90% of it for yourself. Selling things below cost to drive others out of business unless they agree to work for you because you have the resources to do it. Lots of people create and do things that benefit the world, just not on a mega scale. We don't need mega scale. That's how you get megalomaniacs. Some people can't contribute as much. Maybe they couldn't get a good education or their family needed them to go to work too soon to provided food. I guess they don't deserve to be comfortable ever. All the local business in my town are suffering and it will never be the same. The "COMMUNITY" is hurting. But Amazon can keep their 1000's of serfs working in the "Fulfillment Centers" and get our tax money. THAT"S VALUE? I personally watch home health aides, landscape workers, nanny's, house cleaners, etc. work their asses off for peanuts while their employers get rich doing a little paperwork and dodging taxes. They create value? Capitalism and modern economics is all about top-down exploitation for maximum profit. Profit that is only SHARED to stockholders, not the actual producers that ACTUALLY create the VALUE. This all comes at a cost to society. It destroys communities, families through hardship, the environment, depletes the resources and every species on earth. Everything other than profit is an "EXTERNALITY" with no consequences considered. WOW, I needed to vent.

@@markgigiel2722 that’s pretty much how I feel about it too! The people that create the most value in society are often the most underpaid, underrated, unseen. They are the glue to society because they’re not 1 person but many, doing “small jobs” that essentially benefit all of society. The world would still continue if Amazon didn’t exist!

Way they are expendable I’m just saying there will be an uprising is nonsense they will be marches and demonstrations and probably violence but it will be put down by the guard dogs of the well of the police and if necessary the National Guard It’s hard to see any end in sight so I’m sorry for your plight and wish you the best in the future..

The powers that be know exactly how to throw just enough crumbs to keep people going. The US will probably not see mass hunger or mass homelessness. That sort of desperation is the only way the civil unrest could get bad enough to force some sort of change. Most people that are just getting by aren’t just going to risk that for some vague higher ideal. They’re gonna Netflix and chill and maybe have a smoke or a drink. A fair compromise as I see it is using electoral politics to push us toward a Euro-style social democracy. It does not solve poverty but it does provide for a more stable poverty. And even then there are very high barriers to that...the people are still very afraid of the socialist label. But I think things like general strikes and mass, prolonged protests are out of the question for America

The US now is very similar to the last decade of Tsarist Russia, before the revolution, when most people starved, which Russian was involved in a string of unsuccessful wars, the Romanov family and their circle of collaborators was still living very affluently, while most Russians starved...a small reminder note the the ruling class in the US....

Yes. People need to hit the cold wet floor before understanding that it is kill or be killed. Tens of Millions will be homeless. 67 million evictions looming by jan 31. Avarage 2 people per houshold. Do the Math. Over 1/3 the population risks losing everything. The fact it has gotten this bad should be enough for all the 2nd amendment conservatives to live up to their bullshit talk. Alas nowhere to be found. Home of the Brave my ass. Cowards. Your country and future is already gone. What the fuck? Polite Time is over. But whatever watch tv news and eat the bullshit for lunch and dinner. America gets what it deserves. I just get sick thinking of the kids that will be on the street. My friend saw a kid eating out of the garbage can in NYC homeless. By himself. This is America the RICHEST country on EARTH. I cant feel a damn thing anymore.

Very much like when I bought my home for $158,900.00. And Freddie Mac foreclosed on me, forced me out, and then sold it for $30,500.00. It costs more money to incarcerate a human being in prison for a year than the price they got for reselling my home.

I was researching China's elimination of absolute poverty this year. It was reported that in the "command center" of this effort, they keep a huge, interactive map of China, marking every family in absolute poverty from every county of every province, at one time some 90 million of them. Out in the field, few millions of party workers visit each county to gather info, devise methods of support, and assess changes, positive or negative. The data is transmitted to the headquarter and used to update the huge map. If you want to help the poor, at least you need to know who they are. It's not about giving them free stuff. It's about transforming their lives so they can making a living in their own. You can't do it with "small government", or under the pretense of "free competition". It's not simple nor easy, and it takes a scientific approach. I can't say China's effort is perfect, but the fact Harvard studies found the Chinese government enjoy 90% approval from its people should give you a hint. When they say eliminating absolute poverty, they actually mean it.
