Let me start by saying that I thought this interview was great, and highly encourage you to watch it in its entirety and share it with others.

I think a lot of "anti-capitalist" videos and discussions you see are geared towards the people who are already left leaning. But this interview discusses it from an economic perspective, and is communicated in such a clear and pragmatic way, while also being extremely charismatic and interesting to listen to.

I don't mean to upsell this video so much, but I just thoroughly enjoyed it and highly recommend it. If you are a very "pro-capitalist" person, id love to hear your genuine thoughts on the matter (not a debate or argument, just your genuine and well meaning thoughts - as I'm genuinely curious).

Interesting take, I respect your opinion, even if I don't agree. I'd be interested in your take of having workers being able to have a say in where tax money is actually spent (I forget the term she used), that they are advocating for in Tulsa Oklahoma and is a system they use somewhere in Latin or south America (was it Argentina or something?).

    Wait, what? What's being advocated in Tulsa? I live here and haven't heard this. Didn't find anything in a search, either.

    Tulsa is a gerrymandered red city in an all red state that's been conservative for a very long time. I find it hard to believe we'd ever experiment on a liberal policy, sadly.

    So we invented this cool system for that a few thousand years ago called "democracy" where people vote on the policies they want to see enacted in order to properly represent everyone as equals. If more people are participating in that then great news.
