The collapsing US military & economic empire is making Washington & NATO even more dangerous. US could not beat the Taliban but thinks it can take on China-Russia-Iran...a sign of psychopathology for sure. We must all do more to help stop this western corporate arrogance that puts the future generations lives in despair. @BruceKGagnon

Re my prior comment, there's 40 years difference between the two events, the Union battle and the Great Society battle in Congress.

We "won" both battles but, the rich are like the Hydra.
More pertinent to the video and less to "waking up and not having coffee and pain meds yet" there's been 50 years, the sum of my life, between the sweeping reforms put before congress while Eisenhower was still president.(just, you know, not for long.) The struggle is a long one.
The masks over the face of evil change.
But the nature of that evil, profit from the labor of others, using violent domination of those others, never changed.

If one would believe, as I do, in both an Immortal God and an Immortal Devil,
The evidence behind that faith would be that Evil hasn't changed, but Goodness has survived in spite of it.

The mine owners, the only ones in the region with any source of money (aside from the Tobacco companies, same set of Directors sitting on their boards, interchangeable) for economic development of anything that doesn't involve servitude to their industry, refuse to provide any such opportunities.

That golden nectar trickling down on us from the Reagan Rich, is .... well, you fill in the blank.
