We need more of these types of conversations. This is how we will move forward as a country. We need to get out of echo chamber and listen to each other.

Thank you; 3/4ths finished. The mental clarity is much appreciated. It’s like receiving a $20 million dollar paycheck.

If you think you got mentally clarified listening to this, I sincerely think you should read the comment I left on this video. This talk might have been civil, but it was anything but clarifying One person was lying, and the other person was Jon Meacham

@@PaperRaines What do you expect? Bill Haslam is a billionaire. Of course he only gives a shit about his money, he doesn't give a shit if you starve. Also, his numbers are totally made up, per the Fed Reserve official numbers, the top 1% controls over $45 trillion AND they own more than 90% of the stocks... so if Wall Street collapses, it's his ilk that lose, not the rest of the country. The BIG LIE is that the Stock Market is the economy: it's not!

When comparing end of ww2 debt. What did the US do? Well there was the GI bill which educated a great amount of citizens. We built the interstate highways, which allowed transit to the far corners of America for business and educated Americans. That expense caused the tremendous growth we keep saying we'd like to have now! Let history's success shine.

The Harvard faculty that I've spoken to said John is the best Hollywood Screenwriter, pseudo historian in the business

[@rsr789]

Random person posts on KZbin stating that they have spoken to 'The Harvard faculty', which compromises about 2,400 professors! You know how full of shit you are, right? You're so full of shit, that if we gave you an enema, you could sleep in a matchbox.
