Batya is so sharp and I really appreciate her sensible point of view and truth telling about our times. We are being manipulated through many venues. Thankyou for this tremendous interview. I'm so glad to see the woke on its way out, hopefully.
Thank you ladies for this wonderful conversation!
I saw your article in America's Freedom 1st magazine. I love Ann Ryan and have read and loved her books. Thank You for your Article.
I love her. ❤
Since when do Objectivists care about working people? Rand treats most of the blue-collar characters in her novels like NPCs in video games or extras in movies who don't have speaking roles.
More like when...
Why even use the term working class??
@@88SunsetStrip It is useful in distinguishing those who are working regardless of income strata. Could have the welfare class as opposed to a working class. Perhaps a productive vs unproductive class would be more fitting.
I am thinking of Hank Reardon vs his brother or wife.
@@TheRealBrook1968 interesting comments from both of you. I think putting people into classes is akin to identity politics. In a free society we may be born into and then move through various situations... none of them define us so much as our own actions. My first job was waiting tables along with babysitting. I never thought of myself as "working class"...they were just jobs. Since I've been in medical and legal positions, been renter, owner, landlady, rich, poor etc.. I identify with my principles, not my current occupation, and see others the same. Identity politics is encouraged by the fact that our government punishes some groups and rewards others, thus giving legal and economic incentives to put people into or try to claim certain categories. Ugh.
@@88SunsetStrip good points, but I have enjoyed much of the content
Wow..what a frustrating combination of wisdom and inaccuracy! While Batya makes some great points about how govt intervention creates horrible incentives, she clearly doesn't understand what free markets really are..and the constant reference to class and "living wage" reflect bias and confusion.
She's just a leftist. Her only problem is with the woke and pro Palestine stuff. She'll soon join republican party. That's where the neocons of the 60s ended up.
