MBAt least putting this political drivel shows RealVision are open minded so everyone should have a voice. This video must be one of the very few on the entire site that have double the number of dislikes as likes. That is enough to show what intellegent people think of this leftist propoganda.

GWIs this Realvision or CNN ? Bias reporting is not what I signed up for.
-
MBSad on the rating but I dont believe I have ever seen almost double thumbs down compared to approval of any video in RealVisions entire history. That speaks volumes

AAFrom the negative response of the (mostly Republican) crowd I see value in this interview. I see alpha if you can understand that the last 30 years of falling bond yields and the Regan-Thacher economics philosophy is over. For those who believe in capitalism, understand America is no longer capitalistic. It has the worst kind of crony capitalism. The price of money, the bond market, the credit market and the stock market is all manipulated. Currency markets are the only ones that are still “free”. There are many who say that “socialism” is not worse than “crony capitalism”. Whether you agree or not, a hard left turn is coming. So if you are getting angry at this interview, you will miss the hard left turn that America will be taking. Warren Buffet has not missed this. He is short American capitalism! He went long gold and Japanese commodity traders! Inflation, slow growth and impossible to pay off debt burden, UBI, MMT are all coming. Gold, BTC!

GHLiterally 3 minutes in and lazy, biased analysis is already prevalent... he promotes racial groups as being primary factor driving US Covid-19 deaths... how about you take 2 minutes to Google CDC Covid-19 Death Data by Age... which is the only statistically significant factor driving 99.9% of outcomes... per CDC, "85+ years" group has "630 times" Death rate compared to "18-29 years" Comparison Group... "75-84 years" group - "220 times"... "65-74 years" group - "90 times"... either incompetent or just can't be objective... And as far as the 100,000 less deaths we could have had... we are at 216,000 cumulative today... but about half of those happened in March/April/May when proper treatment was unknown... and if you are really being objective, 95% of these people are dying with other factors, not just Covid... I'm really tired or lazy and biased analysis that I can refute with 2 minutes of Googling...

scPerhaps I missed it, but Mr. Sperling points out the obviously well known problems, but never gives a solution to the problems, and this is the main problem with Democratic candidates by in large. They reiterate their hatred for Trump and talk about the problems which exist, they never give their solutions to the problems. As much as I would like to vote for Biden/Harris because of Trump's negative personality, Biden has never given any concrete answers to our basic problems. As for Harris, should she step into the presidency, which given Biden's age and physical condition, is not such a far-fetched possibility, has never run a corporation, been a mayor of a city, been a governor of a state, or run any major conglomerate organization, so how will she run the largest economy in the world and become a better world leader than Trump or Pence? (Other world leaders will not care that she is Black and female) which seems to be her main reason for wanting to be President. And so, I am once again, compelled to vote Trump even as much as I hate to boost his ego even more, because in the end, Biden/Harris is just about passing the buck with increased spending and taxes, while with Trump/Pence, we can continue to make some progress and change. Such a tough electoral choice, even more so than in 2016, speaking for myself personally. By the way, as an Asian minority, I find it ironic that if a person votes for a white candidate simply because they are also white, that is perceived as racist, but when a person votes for a black candidate simply because they also are black, that is expected and applauded, but not considered to be racist. To me, this is bigotry and prejudice at its highest level. Vote for a candidate based upon their credentials and abilities, not based upon race and gender, then you are truly doing what you are so boldly fighting about; race/gender inequality.

MOIf you havent watched this yet, heres the synopsis: Trump Bad. Biden Good. Buy my book. Kick the can down the road. Really though, I'm not a republican, or a democrat, but I am paying hard earned money for the content RV creates. I watched to the end, and went in hoping to really appreciate this level of interview. I was grossly disappointed. This is without a doubt a complete waste of time, and is basically progressive propaganda. If you have done nothing but read the titles of RV videos, you have acquired more information than this video gave. We have learned nothing new from this.

CBThanks to RV for having a less conventional interview as it continues to give insight into principles of the Biden administration. I haven’t read Sperling’s book but “economic dignity” sounds like another way of saying everyone deserves equal outcomes when the real focus should be equal opportunities. Plus, while the US needs a better social safety net, I agree with Cooperman, decide how large we want the US government to be and then live within its means. Otherwise, we end up with “more more more”; i.e., big (permanent?) spending programs without figuring out the dull, demanding work on what to scale back. Instead we fall back on it does not matter right now and besides, rates are low. On financial planning, it continues to tell me that if Trump is re-elected we can expect more spending like a drunken sailor, If the Democrats have a sweep then we can expect higher taxes and spending like two drunken sailors. Basically, deficits don't matter.

DBMore doublespeak, "Economic Dignity." Beware!

JWAll the negative reviews filled with rage over here tell me that this is a must watch interview.

AWFirst-level thinking: What *ought* to be and why, given my political bias, which might be right or wrong. Second-level thinking: What *is* going to happen and why, regardless of whether it's right or wrong, regardless of my political bias, why each side thinks it's the thing to do, so that I can position my portfolio to profit. I auto-downvote first level thinkers like this, because I can get enough first-level thinking from partisan media networks. RV usually differentiates itself with second-level thinking. Let's keep the bar high.
-
CJImportant interview because it's representative of what could happen in the future, but my biggest takeaway is that politics really doesn't attract our best and brightest.

SBTerrible interview. What Gene Sperling misses is that if you don't like the conditions of your job, you can always leave and join a competitor. If you don't like your profession, you can always change. A dynamic economy needs this. If it weren't, typewriter salespeople would still be employed.
-
RYHeavy going but enjoyed this ... Thank you both.
-
SCLove your new hairstyle, Pedro. Didn't see you for a while, and I was a bit worried if you departed from RV. I miss many talented interviewers ; Grant Williams, Brian Price, Jake Merl, or Justine Underhill, to name a few.

mw"Never let a good crisis go to waste"

JPIt is fairly predictable that there are more thumbs down here than thumbs up. Doesn't mean RV shouldn't keep having interviews like this.

DSAs a US citizen, I can say for the most part we do not have a sense of community. For many US citizens not caring about other citizens is the easiest and cheapest way to ignore any human responsibility to care. This behavior is as old as time. It is economic Darwinism. It is embraced until it is your cookie that is crumbling. When your cookie is crumbling, it is too late to effect change. As a young nation when a neighbor's barn burned down you helped to build a new barn. Those days are gone. Now it is that guy must be stupid to let his barn burn down. Why take care of stupid people? I think I gave to the Stupid People’s Foundation at the office. Sad. DLS

RBIf you understand this, and see the impetus this will create, you can make a lot of money in the stock market over the next decade.

PTHis comments on taking the high road on dignity would have more weight had he not been involved in the conflict-of-interest scandal of receiving an unsecured, below market-rate loan from Howard Shapiro while serving in the Obama administration, Do as I say, not as I do.

gjI appreciate Real Vision provides content that helps me challenge my assumptions. I may or may not change my opinion, but I will have reviewed facts, numbers, and clarified the argument to support that opinion. What keeps me up at night? People who can't have a reasoned disagreement without trashing the other person intellect or integrity. If we lose that, democracy is in the trash can.

DJI bet this guy gets invited to all the parties.

JTGood luck fighting the prevailing narrative human rights = "communism" Corporate monopolies fed by the Federal Reserve = "capitalism" People forget that the true problem of communism is centralized power and control.

HKThe cringe is real

TAWatching this interview will give you Corona Virus symptoms. Shortness of breath, make you feel like your going to throw up.
-
PMLost me in the first 3 minutes. Not the stuff I expect from Real Vision.
-
LRIt's nice, sometimes, to have my bias confirmed - this time by the thumbs up/down on this video. Seems I'm not alone.

WMutterly awful..

TESo little dignity

WMpolitical drivel with no actionable intelligence .. not a fan.

JMAnything but RV's finest moment.

KS"If people do their part, they should have economic dignity"...Agreed. "We should have a system that allows for second and third chances"...Agreed. What drives me nuts about these type of discussions is it paints all individuals as just one big group of hard working, moral people only worried about feeding their families and trying to survive but denied dignity from some outside force. Reality is that is simply not true. I have watched time and time again so many individuals given opportunity, help, and assistance and they constantly don't "do their part". Given the opportunity to be trusted, they lie or steal. Given the opportunity of a job, they don't show up. Given the opportunity to buy food, they buy drugs or gamble. Where does simple self-dignity and individual responsibility factor in? I have a family member who is a teacher and no matter how much she "lowers the bar", no matter how simple she makes a task or assignment to accomplish, there is just a certain amount of capable individuals who just simply refuse to do it. Short of an authoritarian rule to force people to conform or suffer severe penalty, in a society of free individual choice, someone please answer the question what happens to the individuals (and there's a shit load of them) who time and time again freely choose not to respect the opportunities their given?

MBThis is far too politically biased and I am not even American or can vote there. I fully agree with giving people a voice though unlike the left which appears to be doing a lot to shut up voices they don't like. I watched when the thumbs up and down were 7 for both so that alone was a good warning of what was to come.

DMThis video is approved by Joe Biden
-
TWAnother bias guy who reads bias research that confirms his obvious bias imho.

JWPlease have Chris Arnade on instead. He wrote "Dignity, looking for respect in back row America", and would have added much more to the conversation than this one.
