7: 30 That's not at all what happened, Oh yeah in some countries Britain obviously, the nordics, perhaps the benelux countries and to some extent Germany, but the countries who slashed funding during the monetarism era are the ones who stood firm, the financial crisis hit countries in the south who never cut spending. Who has increased it year after year, with politicians essentially buying elections by trying to be the ones who promise the most wealth, a system referred to clientalism. Then when their economies collapsed and they lost all this they took a turn to the right. Responsible centric monetary policy is not to blame for this.
Edit: Note not to blame for causing it, asking neoliberal reforms during the crisis was a massive mistake. First the market should have been stabilized then working on rooting out the old clientalism could have gone forth.

3: 54 Cars banned in Paris? Believe me, I wish! I've lived my whole life in Paris, and although our current mayor (who just got reelected, yeah) is trying to implement such measures, it's never been actually done. When pollution reaches really critical levels, half the cars (based on your licence plate number) are forbidden to circulate, and only for a couple days at most. Meanwhile my fellow Parisians keep buying enormous gas-guzzlers they cannot even drive through the city centre's narrow streets. To be fair, the mayor took advantage of quarantine to actually ban cars from some major arteries downtown, and I hope she won't give in to pressure and these parts of the city will stay car-free. But the battle for our lungs is far from over in Paris.

Way to stick to the Party Line Commissar! Love that your Infographic shows the Chinese Communist Party's reported cases totals rather than the report for posterity how they've suppressed information about their death count & infection rate of the Communist Virus they started. Or how they've refused to allow an International Investigation Freedom of Movement to identify once & for all the beginning of this Pandemic.
I'm glad a Genocidal Regime's Propaganda now is canonized into History.
Good Job Comrade.

Not sure why globalization, which is a political ideology or philosophy practices by people like Trotsky is conflicted with environmental effects.
Virus actually can be stopped by closing borders and a person who brought it to NY I'm certain can be linked to a Chinese source.
Your claim that Global warming is bad for humans is a fallacy, i can think of at least one example how it's beneficial.
Why do more of your videos have political undertone?

Welfare wasn't charity. it didn't help the working poor so much as protect them from the worst effects of exposing them to competition from ever lower cost foreign labor competition. Anyone who complains about demographic replacement is painted as -racist- as if the elites care about anything other than lower labor costs. and importing new naive voters to keep them in power.

What people often don't mention with the Global Warming debate, is that humankind relies on ecosystems as much as other creatures. It's not going to kill polar bears, penguins and all coral on earth, it's going to kill us just as much.
A pandemic as this one is one example.

Neo-liberalism is a crime against humanity. A huge historical setback, akin to the rise of fascism.
It uses the primitive xenophobic, tribal instincts to trick people into voting for politicians who only want to destabilize society while only protecting the elite.

John, you became so much sadder as the years went by. I love all your videos but it breaks my heart to see such a stark difference between first C C video series where you were all laughs and jokes and the recent ones. I hope you are okay and it's just exhaustion

10: 30 ish If you are talking about the EU's external trade barrier then why talk about the free trade policies forced on the third world by the US? The EU and the US are completely different entities and got very little in common.

Global poverty has decreased dramatically because of these -neoliberal- policies.
Search for the 'economic freedom index if you want any evidence that economic freedom is correlated with a higher quality of life.
