Drug use is a symptom of a larger disease. Human beings should have the freedom to decide what substances they want to enter their body.

It's hypocritical and inherently fascist.

Who is the Black American community. The American dream was only for the white people., and has always been a nightmare for black America regarding all aspects of the economy.

That's right~!! It's going to break down and blow up.. All because it is out of balance. The only way out of this current economic situation is for ALL OF WHITE AMERICA TO DO RIGHT BY THE BLACK PEOPLE OF AMERICA. And if and when you begin to turn on and print more money., you should have it on your mind that when you print it.., put it where it belongs and will do the most good for the people of America and for America as a whole... Which = Reparations for the Black American Community.. to the exact tune of the current total U.S. debt, but double. One for the Banks and housing, and financial institutions, and the other for the BLACK AMERICAN COMMUNITY ONLY for payment of monies that should be in the economy but is not because of historic bias, racism, discrimination, and disenfranchisement etc.. After that, deal with the greed of these corporations that are robbing the people of America of all races for a decent stable life and livelihood....

It should be a no-brainer. People tend to be more civil when they have a full belly, a safe and comfortable roof overhead, and the ability to envision a better future. Growing income inequality is THE issue, and a deeply systemic one. I realize that Americans think socialism is a dirty word, but you already have socialism - available only to billionaires and corporations. It's really not a radical idea to use taxpayer money to support services the taxpayers want and need. It's literally your money, and it Should be used for your benefit. I don't mean to throw stones from Canada here, but the further America gets from taking care of its own citizens, the more we see the same issues, and the same scapegoating, here in Canada.

[@sarahjames505]

Socialism too many Americans means communism, it is a dirty word, Bernie Saunders was your best hope and Elizabeth Warren. The system suits the rich, with 45% of the wealth created since 2008 gone to the top 1%. The last thing they want is a social system, the Tories over here have brought the NHS to its knees, but that was the idea since 40% of the population now think it is ok to pay and go private. First objective achieved. The Tories hate spending money on the bottom tier, they got there by their own failures and our parasites on the hardworking middle classes. Democracy for the time being is over, since governments no longer actually have control, the markets do as Lizz Truss found out. But as Marx said capitalism wants most of all is cheap labour, slavery first, low paid sweat shops next, and once a country's labour gets too expensive, they move out, as with the USA, finding cheap labour elsewhere. Their wet dream is automation, no people required, imagine when robots can fix robots, AI creates all the programs, does accounts, law, advertising good bye even the middle classes. In the end capital will also arm itself to defend itself and hold governments to account.

I spent some time in Singapore in the late 1970's when Lee Kuan Yew was busily transforming the Nation into a financial powerhouse. One thing I remember is that there were lots of rules, censorship and an imposed ethic and morality. Lee had a vision for his country and ran it with a firm hand, and these are things that America and Americans would not abide. American's above all value their individual freedoms, which is both a blessing and a curse, since people's freedoms often rub up against each other the wrong way.

Singapore is a very interesting case. Clean, safe, great education, efficient infrastructure. .. but also they are competitive to an extreme level within the education system (causing a lot of emotional problems), a complete obsession with money and status within the country, and a fairly souless environment. It's a tricky comparison because Singapore has the population of New Zealand, but living on a piece of land the size of a postage stamp which breeds an entirely different society and culture to other developed countries. The gap between rich and poor is stark, and they import a ton of cheap foreign labor just like the US. I was there recently and was shocked to learn the retail sales assistant helping me in a store had a full time nanny. Her husband also just works floor retail sales. They aren't wealthy but pay their Vietnemes nanny next to nothing. The tax rates aren't crazy BUT they do tax certain things very heavily- take cars as an example. It is CRAZY expensive to own a car in Singapore, so only the wealthy can. A $60k car to own and operate in the States would be $300k to own and operate in Singapore.

[@jjsamuelgunn1136]

the gap between the rich and poor is not as stark as other countries. i would say it's better than most south east asian countries and even the US. even if you compare singapore with other developed countries, i don't think the wealth gap is that bad. you don't see groups of starving homeless people roaming the streets or many people committing crimes like muggings and robbery to survive. i'm not saying it's utopia, there are the rich and the poor. but the poor are better off than in most countries and abject poor is few and far between. yes, it's crazy expensive to own a car but i would say the upper middle class could own one and not necessarily just the elite wealthy. like you said singapore is size of a postage stamp and so the government limit the number of cars on the road. they do this issuing only a limited number of certificates for registration of new cars monthly. citizens have to bid for these limited certificates everytime they want to buy and register a new car. it is the demand and bidding war for these limited certificates which is the reason that drives up the cost. that is also one of the reasons why singapore place a lot emphasis in setting up one of the best public transport system. when the public transportation system is good enough, there is little reason for the people to want to own a car. let's face it, what is the point of owning a car? it's just to transport you from point A to point B. all other reasons are superfluous.

For those who are complaining. 1. These are not interviews. Tom said a long time ago these "conversations" are for his own personal use to clarify his thoughts, he's nice enough to share them. 2. He is under no obligation to post the original date. There is link in this one to the original episode. 3. You haven't absorbed all of what's in these conversations so you might as well watch them again.

The problem people with the whole inflation issue is greed and racism, disenfranchisement, discrimination, and with that, the economy is simply out of balance. And it's been unbalanced for the entire life of the American Government system. The entire system has been operating while leaving out a whole segment of society and community here in America. Who is the Black American community. The American dream was only for the white people., and has always been a nightmare for black America regarding all aspects of the economy. If you have a muscle car and drive it down the highway at 100 mph with a doughnut tire on the front passenger side for over 500 yrs., what do you think will happen to your motor and transmission?? That's right~!! It's going to break down and blow up.. All because it is out of balance. The only way out of this current economic situation is for ALL OF WHITE AMERICA TO DO RIGHT BY THE BLACK PEOPLE OF AMERICA. And if and when you begin to turn on and print more money., you should have it on your mind that when you print it.., put it where it belongs and will do the most good for the people of America and for America as a whole... Which = Reparations for the Black American Community.. to the exact tune of the current total U.S. debt, but double. One for the Banks and housing, and financial institutions, and the other for the BLACK AMERICAN COMMUNITY ONLY for payment of monies that should be in the economy but is not because of historic bias, racism, discrimination, and disenfranchisement etc.. After that, deal with the greed of these corporations that are robbing the people of America of all races for a decent stable life and livelihood....

One observation. What makes American and extendable most European countries so in debt than other nations is the revealing true color of capitalism which prefers white collar easy money like stock agency rather than blue collar workers like car repair shops. In essence it is the habit between squander and thrifty that shapes the family, society and the country in the end.

Keeping dollars the strongest currency is not the country's asset. It is to keep the richest' assets valuable. The strongest currency makes the labor cost so high that we no longer have manufacture industry in this country. When the blue collar class is gone you will have mental health problem, social unrest. And the government has to borrow money to give to people to keep them afloat. It is a vicious cycle.

When you talk about education, its not about the money.

One cannot help wondering how much Ray Dalio, who likes to point out "income inequality, was paying his lower level staff at his company while he was an executive at it. My bet is that he was, like so many corporate executives who receive an enormous yearly sum, paying many of his employees cost of living" raises which never quite covered the cost of living but always left them a little poorer.... One really does get sick and tired of hearing such people telling us all how things got to be as bad as they are--and never including themselves as part of the problem. "

Not cut OR grow, both at the same time as fast as possible. The permanent corrective actions are de-concentrate wealth, no for-profit military actions, no career politicians and end ballot fraud and vote rigging. Put the system back to focus on the MIDDLE CLASS who are the actual true wealth creators and the largest group. That system basis has to be permanent.
