I wish someone had pointed out that the reason so many people feel pushed to go to college is because EMPLOYERS started using a 4-year degree as a weeding-out tool. And now they let AI do it for them leaving little chance for job-seekers to even speak with a potential employer to explain how their life experiences, self-directed learning, reading, etc. have given them the same or better skills to do the job. Change that and we might have less college debt. Thanks for a great show. Glad to see my home state of Maine represented. (I grew up on a dirt road in a small town in central Maine.

Her folksy style may have worked in Maine, but I don't know if she'd fare as well in the rest of the country. Don't get me wrong, she is exactly the kind of person we need in government if we're going to save our country: one who genuinely cares about the issues and the people of America and the world.

But we do arrest the drug dealer for distributing dangerous substances and capitalizing on the vulnerability of the addict. We view it the same when it comes to the dr. performing the abortion. The dr is breaking their oath when they kill an innocent child that is not endangering the mother. The laws make exceptions for circumstances where the mother’s health is at risk. You have a right to do what you want with your own body, but society has every right to prevent others from helping you do something it sees as immoral. That is the discussion at hand.

The CEO does not need a 50 billion dollar salary when he can have a 10 million dollar salary so the rest of the profits are well distributed among the work force.

Even without giving a raise in wages, American manufacturing still can't compete with China, or the new darling of the global economy India. Their citizens are not going to buy American products because they can't afford them anymore than our low wage workers can. It's a big lie told by Republicans like Trump and we're not going to get those jobs back. When politicians like Nixon opened up trade relations with China it spelled the end to manufacturing in America. Either we raise the standard of living of the working poor so people can afford American made goods or we continue to consume products made in low wage countries like China and India. Political interventions are not going to solve this issue, it's an economic issue and unfortunately we the consumer are going to have to pay more while receiving a higher wage across the board to offset the cost of moving jobs back to America or we're going to have to continue to use this business model of looking for lower income people to exploit in poorer countries than China and India.

I like Michele, I don’t know who she is, but I like her already.

[@joeedge576]

Maher show is ALWAYS funny and I enjoy it tremendously... Question: When M.Tafoya suggests making businesses manufacture their goods in a certain location, isn't that SOCIALISM and is she suggesting that the government mandate where companies can produce their goods ? ? ?

We shouldn't support slave labor for moral reasons, and we have made laws to prevent Americans from supporting exploitation and buying from our enemies. I don't know if you have ever heard of Cuba or Iran, but Americans have been prevented from doing business with them.

[@joeedge576]

@@sandyunderpants4376 I must not have made my point clear, and for that I apologize... Yes we shouldn't support countries that employ slave labor... You're right... Yes I know Cuba and Iran have been put on a list that precludes American companies from doing business with them... But American business is allowed to do business with China, and they have the biggest internment camp in the world right now... It's easy to talk the talk when it's a small unimportant country with no economic clout in the world, but apparently it's a different game when dealing with an economic behemoth... We need to either put up or shut up about this...

Hi Bill, just wanted to add a couple of talking points. On abortion can we meet in the middle, can I at least get the first trimester to find out 1 that I'm pregnant and 2 what am I going to do. Most women don't even know until they are 6 weeks. Also, we had GROWN adults ( cough, cough) acting a damn fool over a mask and a shot. Shouting how they had their rights, and here the government is completely taking away the option. How many more babies are going to die, yes this option babies will die. How many more children will be put into an already drowning system? I applaud Michelle for adopting, but why are so many people going out of the country to do so. There are more than enough children in our own system that need to find their forever family. This show hits a little different for me.

The only issue is your autonomy . That’s it.

I knew America was in trouble when they took wood shop, metal shop, auto shop etc. out of the school system. Is there even a gym class anymore? what do they teach in K thru 12 anymore? How freakin' boring school must be now. Bless the boomers. the last great generation!

You cannot break up with a narcissist! Bwahahahaha, nailed it Bill

[@dodgingdurangos924]

Good on Bill for pushing back, grilling & calling out Chloe Maxmin for her gibberish, deflecting & avoiding to give him a straight answer to his very simple & direct question earlier.

[@emailbenbenson]

Which question? The racism one? What a racist is defined as is different to different people. Ask if someone is a racist and one person could say they are and another would say they're not. To some people a racist would have White Only signs and not let people of color into their place of establishment, to somebody else, not promoting the person of color over the white person would be racism.

If you want $9 jeans go to the Salvation Army or Goodwill. Problem solved.

@NBA HIGHLIGHTS Dude nobody is going to click on your link. 😂

[@stlsensimilla]

Second hand Chinese jeans, that's the solution.

[@weallcampshutup1657]

That should be the new slogan of the Democratic Party! 😂

Why is a woman who was the sideline dope for NFL on this show? Why does she have an opinion that matters to anyone?

[@b1bbscraz3y]

just for ratings. so people can look at the guide and say "wow Michele Tafoya on Bill Maher" and hopefully they get NFL fans to watch?

[@davidleigh443]

Sideline Dope? She was one of the best sideline reporters for years. She wasn't some bimbo. She is an educated woman (Michigan and USC grad I believe). She has just as much a right to utter her opinion than anyone else, including you. If you don't like her politics admit it, instead of resorting to nasty juvenile comments.

[@AyeCarumba221]

Bill, Bill, Bill. You are salve for a lot of sad souls. You’ll be needed more than ever. Sorry to put all that on you. I’d so much love to see you be an advisor to the democratic party. They need to listen to you.

[@ReflectionTool637]

I certainly don't agree with all the things Michele Tafoya said, but she is really on the ball. As for Maine - no place is perfect - but the people there are, overall, extremely reasonable people. Not surprised they could make progress on the GND. I spent covid year 1 there hiking and exploring.
