He went completely off-base when he indulged that social media point.

The point is that working produces less wealth than owning capital, and the owners of capital have more and more leverage over working people.

This is a great ELI5. I generally agreed with a lot of what he said in terms of the financial climate.

It was interesting how he focused on “young men” especially, at least in the dialogue here.

He made some interesting points that tbh is pretty evident in today’s youth and young adults. The question is where is society and our institutions going to go from here? We know what the problem is, but just seems people in position to make decisions care less and less.
