If anybody has a problem with what she’s exposing in this video, you are the problem. And if you continue to facilitate this absolute corruption then you are not only the problem but you outright think and are fine with living in an oligarchy and not a democracy.
Hey y’all film crew member here. For those of you asking, they’re running like that to stay out of the shot. For us crew we TRY OUR HARDEST TO NOT GET FILMED. IT’S IMPORTANT. It’s like playing the floor is lava but with a side of “you’re fired” if you lose too many times. We’ll do anythING to not be seen. Duck around corners, dive under tables, jump in the bushes, assume fetal position on the floor, climb trees, get in the robot, hide in the trojan horse, become a vampire, you fuckin name it. My fav game while watching a movie is “guess where the crew is hiding in this shot” it’s great fun you should try it. The only problem in this particular shot is there is nowhere to hide except behind the camera which IS MOVING REALLY FAST. Why they didn’t just leave the room I have no idea. it could be any number of reasons. Time, lack of proper equipment, need to supervise/direct, etc. The real question is how the hell did Gaga not fucking lose it seeing a herd of film nerds scamper desperately in circles behind the camera
This video is being spread around on social media. It’s often titled “Historian schools billionaires on marginal tax rates” or something similar.
Rutger Bregman does lay down some truth bombs and it is nice to see him confront all the rich folks at the Davos conference without fear.
That said, I feel like he is not the star of this video. (And Rutger agrees.)
Some asshat from Yahoo spurted Trump talking points and asks how we can fix things without taxing the rich. Winnie Byanyima gives an amazing response about how we do not track quality jobs for unemployment numbers. Something I have been complaining about for a while now.
I thought maybe I would try to balance things and give her the credit she deserves.
Winifred Byanyima is a Ugandan aeronautical engineer, politician, and diplomat. She is the executive director of Oxfam International. She seems like a badass, but I’m not sure that is appropriate to add to her Wikipedia page.
