But one thing he’s not lying about is that grocery store inflation is very real. How did we get here? Why is our food system so monopolized? And which candidate will ACTUALLY address the issue of price gouging and inflation at the grocery store?

    Once the prices go up they rarely go back down…watch an old movie from any year…look at the prices….they never go back down…. except for shredded wheat cereal…. what's wrong with those people…they need to hop on the gravy train…

    Thank you for the Carter / Mondale poster, Carter was a good man the likes of which we probably won't see again. Also your brain crush on the FTC lady was very obvious 😂.

    Where the hell are you people getting your $4 eggs from or your $3 I'm paying $8 the cheapest I've gotten them in the last 6 months was $7 and Trump isn't going to do a f**** thing about it because he's a lying piece of garbage and there's 300 million ignorant people in this country that allowed him to be your new dictator😅😅😅😅

    If you go to your local farmer, everything is cheaper than the gorocery store. Stop shopping at grocery stores. Grocery raise the price around $3-$5 after they get the food from the wholesalers. Just buy local from farmers.

    7:25 "likely the most marginalized among us would be the ones to suffer the most in the great uprising that armchair philosophers on the Internet who've read Marx one time seem to be lusting after." I see that you've read history.
    Not that Robespierre needed to read Marx (not an option for him anyway) to be the way he was. That's revolution for you: "the longest and bloodiest distance between two points". (I've seen that statement somewhere but I can't find the source.)

    The Senator that was against revising the surf side law just research who her donors are & YOU WILL KNOW WHY SHE IS AGAINST IT‼️ Your representatives & WALL STREET INVESTORS are RUNNING A GAME ON Y’ALL. Even the republican voters. Good Luck w/that🍀👍🏽

    7:24 this just isn't true but I can't expect much else from an American lawyer

    Sure, I'd agree that social democracy is needed for nourishing people's well-being and lifting people up high enough to organize, form unions and co-ops. But I can't believe anyone who, with a straight face, says "oh, yeah, social democracy will be fine even in the year 2230 (given that we deal with the climate crisis)"

    Social democracies aren't as resilient as "unfettered capitalisms". This is also the reason why the capitalists won't let SocDem in – it makes the capitalist economies naked. It shows people "welp, it's been fun, but, we should go back to multiplying the capital, so, get back to work ok??"

    I'm not mad you aren't a socialist. It's just unsincere to claim "no system has been proven better". The US governments have tried really really hard to make it seem so. It's oversimplified and ignores how the capital has generally worked through the imperialist peak of the US.

    When I worked a bar (day manager) two guys were seated a the bar. The Berlin Wall had fallen recently. These guys were saying we won the war against communism. Told them “That was only the first battle. The second will be here. Greed will destroy this country.”
    Greed built this country and greed will destroy it.

    At least you’re a Social Democrat. But capitalism must go because USA started over 50-80 wars since WW2 to violently force every nation that tried an alternative system to fail, killing millions. See ROGUE STATE by Wm Blum, and THIRD WORLD TRAVELER.

    Nancy Walton Laurie, Sam Walton's daughter received her $300 Million yacht this year.
    If you can afford a $300 Million yacht, you can afford to pay your workers a working wage.
    From 1978 to 2020, if minimum wage would have climb steadily, today minimum wage would be around $29.00usd/hr.
    1978 is important because this was when electronic typewriter's, the microprocessor, and computers started entering the work force. The CEO's didn't want to pay a person the same wage for doing less.
