- "The total support of the military-industrial complex and empire by Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton is staggering," Ralph Nader tells Reason TV. "Everybody has an equal right to run for election. We're either all spoilers of one another, trying to get votes from one another or none of us are spoilers. We're not second-class citizens because we're a Green Party candidate or a Libertarian candidate....The brass of these two parties is they control the election machinery so they keep you off the ballot, harass you, file a lawsuit, delay you, exhaust you."
Nader's latest book is Unstoppable: The Emerging Left-Right Alliance to Dismantle the Corporate State.
The longtime consumer activist, recidivist presidential candidate, and several-time host of Saturday Night Live talks with Nick Gillespie about what he sees as a new libertarian-progressive attack on crony capitalism, whether GM cars were ever any damn good, and why the Democrats still wrongly insist that he cost Al Gore the 2000 presidential election. Oh yeah, and the article of his Reason published back in the early '70s!
It's a wide-ranging, spirited, fun, and at times contentious conversation.
About an hour long. Produced by Joshua Swain.

Ralph Nader is an example of what is best about America. He has consistently been vocal and active in fighting for the Working Class and Middle Class Americans. He is a teacher at heart and a patriot whose wisdom is concerned with a better, happier, more equal USA. Do I agree with everything he says? No. Yet he supports his comments and teaching with an educated, egalitarian spirit. Good man. We need more like him..
And no one could buy him off .he should have been president
Agreed. Tho theres no middle class. Middle class aint some bs 6 figure. Middle class has been millionaire for a looooong time.
Ralph Nader is a brilliant and ethical man. I am proud to have voted for him. And this interview contained a lot of great commentary. Too bad so few people have the patience and intellect to watch this.
I apologize to people like you because I blamed you for Bush, but now that I'm older, and hopefully wiser, I see that voting dem or republic or the lesser of two evils is throwing away your vote and that's what i did voting for Obama.
That takes a lot of character to admit. Depending upon personality and lifestyle, it takes some people longer to see this than others. Glad that you have awakened. Let's wake everybody else up!
In 2016, Jill Stein is the only progressive candidate. She is the only candidate worthy of trust or respect. She is the only logical choice for any voter with a conscience.
I voted for Ralph 3 times: 1996, 2000, 2004
@Mark Linn* Nader voted for Jill Stein..
Ralph is the real deal, always has been.
Fed up conservatives, join the Libertarian Party or the Constitution Party
Fed up progressives, join the Green or the Socialist Party
If millions of disfranchised voters swell the ranks of these 3rd parties, we'll see change in the system.
Great journalism. Nick gave Nader time to explain himself and challenged him/asked tough follow-up questions. Great job, Reason!
Agreed. It's nice to see an actual debate on the things that progressives and libertarians in particular, disagree on. I disagree with Nader's assessment that immigration is what brings wages down as well as his views on Wallmart and Antitrust laws, but Nick G. allowed time for civilized discourse and challenged him on the actual issues. Most debates end up being attacks on personal character and motive, so I'm glad that this one didn't devolve to that.
I'm about half way through the book and have to say Nader is totally right. Really, all he is asking for is cooperation between anyone in office. How is that such an extreme idea? That's the only way to get shit done!
He never gave him time to explain enough
It’s like he want to answer him self
I've been thinking this forever. If it was Progressives vs Libertarians instead of Democrats vs Republicans, our country would be a million times better off.
You're sad because nobody takes libertarians seriously?
Kizone Kaprow More cost then how people take Ralph Nader or the Green party? I think not. It is an unfortunate truth that if you are outside the Democrats vs Republicans you are not taken seriously.
Kizone Kaprow I'm sad because people take Republicans and non-progressive Democrats seriously.
Until you remember .. Rand Paul is a tea Party Libertarian and a scatterbrained air head.
ThE DuCk Ron Paul is a Libertarian, Rand Paul despite what he says is a Republican. The son is not the father.
This was a fun interview to watch. This was constructive. We need more people like this who debate without name calling.
This man fought the machine.saved a lot of lives..think maybe your own child.we need him back.
For anybody that would like a good intro to Ralph Nader, this is it. Great interview.
The interviewer needs to stop interrupting and listen.
Yes interviewer thinks he is the star of the show
Nick's style of interview isn't the same as C-Span's Brian Lamb's. Nick's style is a conversation of equals. I appreciate both styles.
I agree completely. He invites a guest on his show and then he can't wait to express his own thoughts instead of listen to the guest's thoughts, ideas, etc. I feel like the interviewer gave himself way too important a role in this exchange. I found it very annoying and unprofessional. Unprofessional, because the interviewer constantly cut Ralph off before he finished speaking. THAT is not professional interviewing.
Regarding the GM bailout... I don't know why anybody is surprised or upset. Government works on the premise that if something is mismanaged and unprofitable, you just throw more money at it. But prior to the bailout, I already voted on the issue when I bought a competitor's car. If GM wanted my money, they should have made better products - but instead they steal it via Uncle Sam. Sadly, that's now the American way.
Whether or not Ralph is completely right , we need new ideas and major change. I'm sure the elite will disagree. They're perfectly happy with the way things are now.
"If we set aside our disagreements, we can finally get something done." Very well said!
Ralph is an honest and intelligent guy. His approach to humanity's problems is from the left so many here wont find him that way.
Wow, this is so interesting that 6 years later, here in 2020, the young internet connected people have FINALLY had enough to become activists! It really gives one hope. Nadar is a genius.
If Reason only featured sanctioned "libertarians" it would be a pointless echo chamber. Let the man speak. Let him expound his positions so that we can discuss those ideas on their merits.
As a proponent of the libertarian left I fully endorse this coalition proposal.
24:45 The only way to effectively decentralize private power is to provide alternative business models that work for people.
Yeah actual capitalism instead of this authoritarian socialism that we currently live in where failing corrupt businesses are given business and money instead of allowing them to die like an actual capitalism.
Why do so many say the left is so bad? Our left here is right of center in europe, do those socialist lefties have it so bad?
It's not merely the military/industrial complex but it's always been conjoined to the enabling congressional/banking complex. It's this 4 part construction that's mutually interdependent that makes it so difficult to resist, let alone, overcome. Ralph, the whole damn regime needs to go.
Great interview, thanks!
I revisit this again and again and learn more
Excellent Interview. Ralph Nader is Brilliant. Interviewer definitely a bit interruptive, but intelligent dialog for sure.
and yes Nick, I do have a bug up my butt about consistency. It shows people's brains don't just wash along with the tides of popular opinion and emotional whim.
Why would anyone, much less a libertarian, give two shits about what Mr. Statist himself thinks about anything?
I'm assuming that your post is not just a rhetorical question, so I'll attempt an answer. It's about politics. It's about "hearts and minds". It's about building coalitions to get things done. In the real world, ideas must navigate the fossilized biases of large constituencies. Entrenched positions lead to stalemate and inaction. The old saying says that "politics makes strange bedfellows". But common interests can (and should) bring together people who otherwise have very little in common with one another. I'm not a fan of Ralph, but if he is willing to embrace some of the ideas put forth by the Libertarian movement, why not work with him?
I was literally just thinking that before I even started playing the video.
Just because one might not agree with much of what he says we should try to work together on the things we do agree on.
Christopher Hovde And once the Greens get the upper hand, and industry is either nationalized or regulated out of existence, should we all "work together" with corporatists, just to find employment again? The progressive left, and what he sees as the "right" both end with state control, so no thank you.
@apburner11"Why would anyone, much less a libertarian, give two shits about what Mr. Statist himself thinks about anything?"
Odd. That's the same question (mostly) I had to answer on a video of Glenn Beck, who was saying things with which people with Reason agree... but they were judging the messenger not the message.
Classic Reason: Says "We despise corporatism!" Goes on to defend Walmart's entire business model.
Ralph Nader has nicer things to say about Rand Paul than Hilary Clinton. That should be a wake up call to the Democratic Party...
Excerpt:
A lot of these people grew up on ethnic jokes, which are totally taboo now. Do you know, Lydia, there are no ethnic-joke books in bookstores anymore?
DEPILLIS: There used to be?
NADER: All the time. There were Negro-joke books, Jewish-joke books, Polish-joke books, Italian-joke books. They used ethnic jokes to reduce tension in the 1930s, '40s, '50s. And they'd laugh at each other's jokes and hurl another one. But it still flows through ethnic America, you know. There are hundreds of things that people would like to say. ...
great interview!!
Nick you are the Interviewer for Pete’s sake. Let Mr Nader finish his sentences!
That motor mouth punk ruined the interview. Who the hell he think he is juxtaposed to Ralph Nader. He would have taken off running from the mere sight of Richard Nixon.
The interviewer is the worst another know-it-all libertarian without facts and just theory...
You know..I'm not super knowledgeable about politics...though there are certain campaigns, social issues that I'm more knowledgeable about than others.
I always knew the name Ralph Nader... likely knew he was a 'green party' type or similar...but otherwise didn't know much about him and don't think I'd ever heard him speak.
But having heard him speak in this video, and in a radio talk show today (where he gave a measured, logical point-by-point explanation of why Trump won the election)...it's so refreshing in this day and age to hear someone speak in such measured tones...and especially about Trump supporters. As a liberal, I'm so tired of the liberal camp finger-pointing at the other side, at Trump supporters, and essentially looking down on them. As I've always said, there are as many reasons why people voted for Trump, as there were reasons why some voted for Hillary. Not everyone who voted for Trump or Hillary necessarily loved them. They just thought the person was the better choice of the two.
Both sides in their extremes need to be more open-minded and consider the viewpoints of the other side. We need to stop using social media as the source of 'news'. I always have to remind my liberal friends '....if you read a story on social media that immediately causes a strong reaction in you, i.e., 'omg, I can't believe that Trump's family said this' or 'omg, I can't believe what these white supremacists' did.... you always need to first STOP, take a deep breathe, and find the SOURCE of that story. And I don't consider Twitter or Facebook to be a SOURCE. Nor someone you Follow. Where did THEY get the story? Who wrote the initial story? Was it the Washington Post? CNN? Associated Press? Otherwise, you always need to be suspect, especially of such stories that immediately create a strong visceral reaction.
I can't tell you how many of my Liberal friends have bought into utterly ridiculous fake news stories, which, as soon as I heard them, was pretty sure it was fake news. Then I'd search online, for Snopes, etc., and then I'd have to remind my friends....'see?...here's proof that the story that got you so riled up, was FAKE. Remember to always QUESTION what you hear and read.'
One wants ultimate control and the other wants no control. Total bs.
Ralph is an interesting guy. I've never particularly cared for him (he's always seemed like a "I know what's best for you", "natural born nanny"), and as hard as he tries, he can't hide his inherent "progressive" tendencies. It is however, refreshing and encouraging to hear him at least think about some of the core tenets of Libertarianism.
There needs to be a Stockholders Bill of Rights, the nominating, and election process for board members needs to be regulated. Investors really can find themselves at the mercy of rogue management with little to no recourse. There also needs to be a salary cap called a new tax bracket.
Why are airbags mandatory? Asked twice. Because they save lives says Ralf. The interviewer didn't seem to understand what saving lives meant.lol
Ralph Nader makes a lot of sense on a range of issues. He is correct that immigrants lower wages for those native-born workers who must compete against them as George Borjas has found. Mr. Nader didn't mention the increased racial, ethnic and linguistic diversity also diminishes social capital as Robert Putnam has found. Without a common set of customs that informally coordinate people and build good will, the alternative is overt direction from government as F.A. Hayek observed in is critique of social atomism in his essay, "Individualism: True & False." Nick Gillespie is Mr. False Individualism.
I am intrigued by Mr. Nader's interest in the Southern Agrarians. I would like to hear more about his views on the Agrarians and their vision of community and how that ties in with economics.
The internet is a double edge sword. It informs people on a scale and speed unprecedented but it also takes away from organization and action.
He also needs to grow a brain or at the very least, compassion: A $1000 pill is ok (paraphrased) and why mandatory seat belts?
and he asked twice! Unbelievable.
Awesome!
It's interesting to see Ralph Nader change over the years from being focused primarily on consumer protectionism exclusively, to looking at the actual root causes of how monopolistic power over markets are achieved in the first place. Most libertarians don't view patent law and IP law as a good thing for free markets as it limits competitive entry into those markets and pretty much NO libertarian views subsidization of selected crony firms as healthy for markets as well. I think Nader really started to change his views when he saw the results of political policy designed to help the very people that he was the advocate for.
Why not proximity indicators on every vehicle? Why not seat safety bars (like on a roller coaster) on every school bus, or seat belts?
My ideologies borrow a lot from Libertarians and Progressives. There is a lot of common ground to work from. There is also a lot of conflicting ideals. This interview was a decent juxtaposition of these two ideologies. Nicely done.
Amazing fast-moving exchange between a "moral empiricist" (Ralph's own characterization of his politics) and a highly articulate libertarian (Nick Gillespie)
God damn right Nader, you tell those damn tyrants!
A politician talking about taking on corrupt politicians?.. This has never been done in the history of politics!
only 36k watched this- the rest are watching the kardashians on iphones
I like Nick, but I got the feeling this interview was more about getting his own point across than actually letting Nader answer a question.
Ralph thank you for signing our petition for a solar payment policy.
Maine has pass our law
Build solar homes with 100 solar panels to create jobs that cannot be off-shored.
We are building a house with 100 panels, that will generate an income of $1,500. a month income from our grid & Utilitiy.
Maine just passed a law requiring Utulities to pay solar home owners $0.33 kwh for solar. This gives us an income from solar.
Soon the Sun will be paying our mortgage.
If you want to stop global warming and create JOBS that cannot be off-shored,
then get a bank loan and build a solar house with 100 panels.
Hire an architech to design a house with 100 panels.
Go one line & look for "solar homes with 100 panels."
Yes, 100 panels is the magic number you need to make enough to pay the mortgage.
Go beNRie
Its very interesting to see the breakdown between Ralph Nader and Nick Gillespie. Nader has quite a few things i agree with but its important to see the differences in Libertarian philosophy and what i guess you could call Green Party positions even though Nader has run with different parties.
i want to read this book.
"Because it saves lives." The argument seemed to go right over Ralph's head. You can advertize to consumers that airbags make for a safer car but at an increased price. The market will either accept the new product or not. There is no need to mandate it. Ralph is all about using the government to take the choice away from consumers.
Equal Right to vote,mean there are other parties involved in any vote,meaning one must transfer their right to the TRUE OWNER OF SUCH RIGHT
Seems like Mr. Gillespie is pulling a lot of his punches. I would not have let him get away with so many faulty premises.
By the way, Nader's comments about Walmart buying back its shares hurting the shareholders, only shows his financial ignorance in this area. Few things could be better for the shareholders and management is being responsible in doing so. They could be spending that money in SO many ways as expenses. Instead they're increasing the value of the shares without tax consequences.
He sounded just like those he protests against when he called video game developers "Electronic child molesters."
Where did this fight go? Buried under corporate donations?
Man never owned a car
Mr. Nader's definition of "corporatism" is, in a most technical sense, accurate, but within that definition, the definition of "corporation" does not just mean "corporate company" as we commonly use the term, but rather means any group within a larger polity that functions as a single unit. So, corporatism does include the "corporate-state" which Mr. Nader is right to criticize, but it is also a broader category that includes things like European-style social-market economies based on negotiations between governments, corporate-companies, and labor unions, which should be understood as just as much of a danger as the traditional progressive definition of the corporate-state; more benign than Italian fascism, but no less corporatist.
Nader for Vice President !! You are so right. Thank you !!
airbags are not the same as fire codes, which exist (mostly) to prevent your bad decision from hurting others.
by the time an airbag is deployed, the driver's actions are usually irrelevant.
The moderator gives away that he has psychopathic mind. “Why are you helping these people?” Gives his psychothapy away.
Who the hell he (Motor Mouth Punk) thinks he is juxtaposed to Ralph Nader.
Nick is like one of the three best interviewers on the stage today.
The book Demosclerosis suggests it's not just corporations that are the special interests controlling Washington, it's all of us forming groups that become entrenched by specific legislation.
Ultimately the problem is that the federal government is a power source that every competitor and everyone with a specific interest plugs themselves into in order to benefit from that power. The only way to stop it or make it insignificant is to short circuit the power source.
You know the Statist have lost the argument when Ralph Nader is refashioning himself as a Libertarian.
they should be challenging him more on the philosophical points is govt. can be legitimate instead of passing over that for issues
I enjoyed this interview, and the interviewer has a manic style of conversation. For me, his style made it difficult to asymilate the information.
No, no pill is worth 1K. Even to save your life. If you want to play that game then make the pill cost a % of the persons income. that way it's fairly priced for every one.
Couldn't what Nader says at 1:01:45 about video games, be said about fiction books?
It's funny how you pick that one thing out of this whole crazy interview to question haha. I lost my shit when he said "these kids always looking at all these screens!"
Rockn Outt lol yea that was amusing, to say the least. Most of everything else I agreed with him on. I guess I'm the odd man out on this particular channel. As I was here to hear Nader specifically. After reading some comments the title of this piece seems to be a tad Utopian.
but I'm what some would call a "statist", and a "statist gonna state".
Jared Berg You mean the title of Nader's work is "utopian" because you see from the other comments that there is actually more disagreement than Nader believes?
Rockn Outt I think his point was to focus on what we agree on. But I myself don't necessarily believe there's any real room to bridge the gap as I think the two camps see solutions on either extreme. but yeah his title was utopian as well.
Jared Berg I disagree, I think there are many points such as cutting out corporate welfare and controlling defense spending that are obvious areas of agreement. Might as well take advantage of these points and reform them before battling over the bigger issues.
What turns me off to people like Nadar is his astounding arrogance. He was trying to make the point Walmart could improve its business by paying workers more, like he knows ANYTHING about running businesses compared to some of the brightest business minds in the world at Walmart.
Nader knows what kind of seat belt you need, He knows what kind of workers should lose their jobs and what ones should get bailed out. He knows how much workers should be paid. He knows how much trade we should have with Mexico and Canada He even knows how many airline firms should exist! The man is a genius! We should elect him supreme ruler so he can take care of all of us since he knows everything about business, trade, and the poor.
Or we could let people be free and make their own decisions about what they prefer and what they want to buy.... since you know, they are the ones who stand to gain or lose....
Nader has really improved the quality of his jokes. Libertarians and Progressives working together.
Shoutout to the waltons
2014 was a more simple time to say the least
Nick Gillespie is like 9 out of 10 interviewers. Chris Hayes , Chris Matthews , Bill Maher, I can go on. They don't listen because they really don't care. The interview is about molding the person they are interviewing to their pre-concieved idiology or they want to out them to make them look foolish. The cornerstone of what each interview for them isssss.... ( drum roll) THEM! Gillespie is the star here,Hayes is when he interviews , Matthews is when he does.
The interviewer's remarks were really distracting. Ralph was so gracious.
I don't get why he can't understand the principle that forcing an airbag on someone is still force even if you think it'll save their life. Should we force nader to wear kneepads in case he falls or to make his clothes manufactures change for that safety concern
Matthew Alistair And why does the government have a say in what is considered marriage? Its apparent that this is the definition from Abrahamic law from thousands of years ago.
Walmart sells cheap easily breakable crap and factory seconds, which they don't tell you are factory seconds, and then say they are keeping prices down. Selling garbage is not keeping prices down it is taking your customer. I haven't shopped there in years because I bought unbreakable Corelle dished that shattered and jeans that were sewn incorrectly. both known brands and both just garbage so most likely seconds. I stopped shopping there because I don't like liars.
This reported David Gillespie cuts into the interview too often. Let Ralph speak !
If you are in general agreement with this speaker you owe it to yourself to listen to Richard D Wolff.
He argues against open borders because we support tyranny. But if we had to put up with the fallout from our actions we would be less likely to continue propping up those tyrannies. Especially if those who benefit from those actions were required to pay the price.
Wow...Nader has a serious technological disconnect. He see's kids texting and only sees them gazing blindly at their screens, and is missing the almost magical thing that is actually happening. They are communicating with each other and exchanging thoughts at a rate that simply was not possible for their parents. Sure right now they are talking about trivial non-sense (just like kids always have) but in 10 years they will be discussing politics and the issues that plague our society. You don't have to be physically together to get together anymore.
I actually agree with Nader: technology is 'dumbing-down' people instead of engaging them; That's why people are so brainwashed and stupid, these days...
+James CoCo It's not the technology, it's the individual (not to mention the bad parenting that allows devices at the dinner table . . . assuming they even sit down together for dinner anymore; it's always the human behind the device that is responsible).
+James CoCo: You're on the computer, are you not? Are you dumbed down and brainwashed?
Merriam defines "Corporation" as "a large business or organization that under the *law* has the rights and duties of an individual and follows a specific purpose."
Corporations thus only exist under the legal system...
Nick Gillespie is unprepared. For instance, "Costco is a great company." Maybe, but not automatically... How does he know? My guess is that Mr. Gillespie DOESN'T know.
He's had many gotcha questions... ...not many questions about what actually matters. Ralph Nader was prepared (& likable, as usual.) He is committed to a people's agenda. Living wage. Ethical Election Process. Green Economy.
Unsafe on any screed.
the problem is not the 6-7 hours a day that kids spend looking at screens. it's what they are looking at is the problem. i see young people checking their phones like every 10 minutes like they can't stand the boredom of every day life. thanks to a shameless entertainment industry and it's hyper advertising assault.
PAAS: platform as a service
SAAS: software as a service
IAAS: infrastructure as a service
but now:
GAAS: government as a service..
Nader lost me when he said "corporatism/fascism is when corporations control the government". That is a far-left definition at best and exactly backwards at worst. And when that definition went unchallenged, I couldn't watch any further.
True!
Fascist Germany & Mussolini controlled their nations private industries & corporations, and diverted them to their desires..... V2 Rockets, FolksWagon, Beyer's Gas Showers. Diversion of industry to government objectives Is indeed a major symptom of fascism.
Much like USA thru EPA, NLRB, FDA, USDA currently control every industry or corporation thru one method or another.
You sir should read Oxford and Berkley Prof. Sheldon Wolin's Democracy Incorporated. Ralph Nader is very well read and he is referring to corporate fascism as it is has been defined by social scientists for the last 30 years. It is however as expected that the general public isn't up to date on this topic.
So long asshole. Run from the truth.
I wish the interviewer hadn't interrupted so much.
Very interesting that Nader seemingly COULDN'T COMPREHEND the question about if air bags are so good, why didn't the market "force" their inclusion--and Nick gave the excellent example that "nobody needs to make a law that VCRs come with remotes." Nader just has a total mindset which excludes ideas central to libertarianism--central to the idea that people don't need to be forced into things...
I just don't see this convergence of the left and right in this positive way, I see it only happening in the negative way. The police state grows by the day and both sides want it, the militarism is growing by the day and both sides want it. I just don't see the status quo being challenged the way these guys see it. Maybe once in a while, but a macro outlook, we are on an accelerating march to totalitarianism, something like NAZIism (without the racism) cross bred with Stalin-ism..
The whole point is to see if there are enough Americans who can find sufficient common ground to coalesce around a few points and help dislodge the GOP or Dem. party pols running DC with their hands in all their sponsors' pockets. However, judging by some of these comments below, many libertarians are too ideological (individual freedom above all else, at any cost, in every situation, forever?) to be practical-minded about the future.
'you cant rely on people' Ralph Nader
Interesting that he said "police power" yet gives homage to the Constitution when legally and historically police power is relegated to the states, not the federal government.
30:00 - The best part.
Ahh...Reason, untold millions of billionaire Koch money, tens of thousands of views.
"Everybody has an equal right to run for election..."--if you feel you still need elections as a fig leaf, as opposed to 1980s Chile, then everybody should have an equal amount of money given to their campaign by public financing.
Corporatism, fascism what's the difference?
Very unimpressed with this interviewer. Instead of just asking questions for Ralph Nader to answer, he keeps inferring or "loading" the questions with what seems to be his own opinion. If he wants to write a column, then he should do so, or have his own show where he just expresses his opinion, etc....but when you invite a guest on your show to interview them, the idea is to find out what the guest thinks about things, not to keep inserting your view on everything. I feels like there's a lot of ego going on with the interviewer.
This was almost more of a debate, at times, than a traditional interview, but it was refreshing to hear some substance from two intelligent people instead of the usual food fight/ad hominem attacks we're saturated with. Nick Gillespie is one of the smarter Libertarians out there, along with the grand old man Ron Paul. But Libertarians seem to believe we must sacrifice human life to our God the Free Market. And He must never be tinkered with. Rather than legislating seat belts be put in cars, according to Libertarians we should have waited until enough people were killed or injured and the Free Market Deity would have taken over, corrected the situation naturally. The Free Market has bestowed us with the gifts of cheap Walmart clothing, but curiously these products are made in authoritarian third world countries, the cheap Walmart products costs the blood of these exploited workers. The Free Market does appear to love sweatshops and military government. Mysterious are His ways.
29:20 best question ever formulated
Better if people start at 28:30 so they get the lead in question.
yeah I estimated lol
I wonder if he would be for a ban of the motorcycle.
nothing is worth $1000 per shot...
+David Seger Nobody should have to pay that much. But if the shot will save your life, you will spend any amount of money, if you have it.
+Ethan Davidson credit allows banks to extort virtual economic garantees from consumers who are victimized into believing that they can afford the unaffordable and so they try to measure themselves against the corporate bar.
In a hundred years the way things are going a latte will cost that. Big inflation and wage stagnation is how they slowly disenfranchise the working class.
Time for Nick to review Andrew Keen...............
Anyone that finds this video of interest should go find a copy ofThe Breakdown of Nations by Leopold Kohr and read it.
