Thank you for calling it like it is.it is very difficult to maintain a joyful and peaceful state of beingness, knowing we are destroying ourselves. I do everything possible to walk softly on the earth, but it appears that no one REALLY cares.it is like everyone is sleeping and in denial,thinking that just one person will not make a difference. small tribes work much better than single large goverment.it is hard to be hopeful of the future when humans keep doing the same thing over and over.
they're just suppress'g FREE TECHNOLOGY! we need hydrogen fuel cells & use of electromagnetic energy which is all around us. & bury the dirty past of disgusting oil, coal, mess'g us, the environment & wildlife. "regulators" will continue to destabilize our planet because ppl still give them the 'legitimacy' of be'g managers in our life, society, planet & Reality! stop mak'g them "legitimate regulators" & see them as the criminals that they are behind closed doors.
We know what needs to be done - but as you said, as long as Wall St and industry lobbyists essentially have the politicians in their pockets, NOTHING will change. It's all about short term profits. And yes, it's very depressing, because I see no end in sight. The environmental destruction, the ongoing wars, the curtailments of civil liberties, its all interconnected. And yes that Kerry'Liebermann bill is a piece of shit.
Imo its wrong to assume the gov doesnt understand or is just incompetent, establishment makes mountains of profits on the populations dependance on that which the establishment controls(oil, drugs, credit, etc), profits which is then used to buy/finance/bribe/cater/hires-once-out-of-office the politicians and regulators to make sure they keep or increase their profit, their control, or the population's dependance. Its the political and economic systems that are completely corrupt
@Rickdeckard2020 I think our system is just outmoded. The world used to be able to support absolute freedom when there were fewer of us, but it no longer does. The FFs were brilliant guys, and they thought very hard about what had made previous systems fail, but they were unable to predict the manipulative aspects of the mass use of psychology in advertising, public relations, and politics, nor the ascendence of corporations and the failure of all their checks on the concentration of power.
Solar is nice, except at night or on cloudy days. Wind is nice when it blows. They are clean and nice but intermittent. Hydroelectric and geothermal is a little steadier albeit more risky. I kind of felt everything converges on electricity. Many ways to generate. Find the cleanest.
The government understands the laziness of the people , i would say. it Just wishes to control the profit in the end so it can remain in power of those lazy people. You can wake them up somewhat and still be in control of the out come.
We need to make the changes in our lives they will follow the will of the people then and only then.
Greed is everywhere , things that make sense are hard to find.
@czarwright I agree w/ you to a point. I think many in the govt perceive the people as being apathetic. They wait for pressure, and when it doesn't come, they think people aren't serious. But I think most people live more close to the edge than they used to. Elizabeth Warren's bankruptcy research shows today's 2 earner households are more fragile, less resilient than your typical 1970s family. Plus, I have vlogged extensively (and personally experienced) the criminalization of dissent here.
Massey energy also owned the coal ash containment unit that burst and spewed toxic coal ash into attributaries , spiking the water with high levels of arsenic and heavy metals. Thank you for discussing this topic. Not many people seem to be (aside from the flakes that think it was all yet another inside job) *sigh* Loved the ending! :o) Depressing but true.
@imjustagirl776 Yup. The head of Massey is a true cocksucker. There's tape of him saying that "no one cares more about the miners than he does," when explaining to stockholders about why the govt needs to butt out of his business. He once pushed down a reporter and threatened to shoot him just for asking him a question.
Another fun fact: Miners who worked w/ the men who died were not permitted to attend their funerals.
Hi Zack, I'd like to comment on your video but I can't because it won't play in fact none of your videos will, now you've done it you must have pissed off someone big, to which I say good for you, if no ones upset you're not doing your best.
Have they been covering this issue of the ridiculous categorical exemptions at all in the MSM there in the U.S.? I caught it on Democracy Now and saw the Washington Post article, but I haven't heard much about it outside of that. I think it's a HUGE story, but then again, maybe I have an odd set of priorities and that's why nobody watches my videos.
Nice to see you back making vids. The 11 min limit is a real bitch. I was hoping that you would eventually do a vid on energy, a topic near and dear to my heart.
As horrible as it is to say it, I think the Gulf disaster was a boon to all those with a more proactive energy agenda. It's not often that the incalculable collateral damage dealt by the fossil fuel industry comes in a convenient (and tangible) sound-bite ready, talking point heavy catastrophe. We'll see where it gets us soon enough.
It's not ineptitude it's greed. The 'gov't' is comprised of politicians who don't stand for anything: they are simply functionaries of corporate tyranny. They do the bidding of the elites they are indentured to. The elites are their constituents. If any politician attempts to represent the people that politician doesn't get in a position to get elected.

You cannot fix these problems with laws, or taxes, or government regulations.
We need enforced birth control and a real education for children. Without an
educated populace you will continue to see regulators issuing memos written
by the industry they are supposed to be overseeing and being too stupid to
remove the meta data that shows the originator.... Stupid is hard to fix.
