Zeina, why can't all journalist here in America be more like you

How telling it is that Al Jazeera gives us a legitimate news piece on American labor while the big 3 networks give us shit about Kim Kardashian.

the agenda isnt to save jobs,or create jobs,the agenda is a corporate fascist,world government,with the U.S. de-industrialized...feudalism soon follows then despotism,and tyranny.

[krew666666]

this is all by design,making promises that cant be kept,funded by a government interested not in its citizens best interests,but by political power and international world government,a government funded by a federal reserve central bank.If it were not for the central bank none of this would be happening,it wouldnt have got this far....Fiat fractional reserve economies are desgined to fail....Our is failing....Some republicans,very few are trying to salvage the dollar,but its too late.

This is a great episode as usual, however, I'm sick of Americans who don't understand how unique the golden US era (1947-1973) was. America was the sole manufacturing power fully standing after WWII. We were also the ultimate supplier and consumer in the world. In essence, my parents generation lived in bubble, fictionalize reality of the world. Capital had to play this game until the rest of the world could catch up and now American workers are feeling the effect.

The solution to globalized corporatism is globalized unionism! WORKERS FROM LATIN AMERICA TO CHINA AND THE WORLD ORGANIZE AND DEMAND BETTER PAY AND CECNT PENSIONS FROM THOSE FILTHY PROFIT DRIVEN EXPLOITERS!
