Naomi Klein on CNBC's Street Signs

[xmoroseguyx]

Fuel prices not funadmental to WallMart and the like? Twat! WallMart etc.. Don`t produce a teaspoon, There only a warehouse of other people`s stuff, Everything is trucked in, And people travel to the store, When that get`s to expensive to run, It`s over for them. Nobody`s going to burn ten litres of petrol to save a few pence on bread and milk in the future.

CNBC Love the cable douche capitalists that believe that Milton is the new God. No, got that wrong, that would entail some form of ideology. All they need is cash in their hand, they can say what ever is on their internal barometer of rating/ douche bag heart rate.

@happyhalberstam Yea.. Naomi vs. Friedman...HAHAHAHAHAHA...What are you kidding me? She wouldn't even be on his radar. What a joke

[ericclaptonismygod31]

Stash that cash, Naomi and Avi; the smarmy couple from Toronto!

Naomi does not know shit about Milton`s theories, and as such misrepresents them horribly. I guess instead of dropping out of university she should have tried some Economics 101 classes; actually read Milton instead of distorting his ideas.

Wonder where Naomi has stashed her millions? Maybe the same place as Michael Moore. Must be nice to be a far-left rich person.

Hey Naomi; what about the inflation? Is the state going to habd out new subsidies for all the people made poor by oil-linked price increases? Is she economically illiterate?

[maddsri]

their money's far easier to find than your far-right dipshit republican godless pigs' millions. you're an imbecile. get a new screen name too jackass. btw, i'm independent, fuckface. you can rag on michael moore, but i don't see naomi klein making docs and trying to get hollywood to show them nationwide. and in either case, they aren't lobbyists or oil tycoons and if you pulled your head out of yer ass, you'd know they rip apart both sides of our two (!) - party "democracy."

[mikezephyr]

global indutrial capitalism is a failure.

there won't be a new industrial boom deja vu simply because the planet does not allow for it anymore. growth cannot be unlimited in a finite world.

we seriously have to reevaluate not only late capitalism but this culture as a whole because there is not a single civilization that is or ever was sustainable.

[mongobobo]

Hey! That was exactly what Carter said right before the Reagan Revolution took over!!

[mikezephyr]

fuck carter.

fuck reagan.

fuck bush.

fuck obama.

[Sensaytheist]

The stops to gasp for air, rapid fire speech and the condensing of this issue into 5 minutes is a sad sign of our media.

[northerndisclosure]

Shock Doctrine is a very well written book by Naomi It tells alot about using crisis for change ie Chile- Chicago Boys, Katrina-FEMA Privatising Public Services, 9/11- Patriot Act1&2, Etc Etc Crisis Brings change. High Oil-New Economy coming, after economic crash (crisis) NAU = change as per Shock Doctrine Read the Book.

[USTreasuryBond]

@northerndisclosure No, it is a leftist indoctrination into statism, blaming capitalism for everything LoL. The woman is a fucking ignorant hypocritical elitist wanna be of the worse kind

[MuddleVanHeck]

Erin Burnett got her ass kicked on this subject, in spite of her network's agenda.

She tried, she failed.

Thanks, Naomi!

[USTreasuryBond]

@MuddleVanHeck Naomi couldn't win an argument if her life depended on it

[j0hnwi11iams]

My god, you can't get people to quit cigarettes. As if they will quit Gas out of the goodness of their hearts.

Funny that one year of high oil prices does far more to help people cut back on driving than years of pro-ecological messages. Don't get me wrong, I am all for equilibrium and sustainable practices. But until clean air has a real price tag, the oil barrel and the gas pump will still be the booster/choker of alternatives.
