Mr. D. Goes to Washington: Money, Money, Money, Money...MONET!
Hey Gang! For some reason, the original video associated with this post got deleted or blocked (not sure). Here it is again. Let me know if there's still a problem. Thanks. B

I'm glad to see that you pointed out that the large, prosperous middle class in the U.S. was a temporary anomaly of the mid-20th century. Reagan fixed that.
Yeah, people have no idea how rare that was in human history — that’s it really. And they certainly don’t understand why or how it happened. D’oh!!!
I just finished reading A People's History of the United States. That does a great job explaining why what you're describing here should be expected, and why that's the way its always been, and we'll likely always be. The 1% has always ruled the US, starting from Washington. (Richest man in the US at the time.) The country was set up to enrich them off the backs of the poor, and that's never changed. It can't change, and it won't change. Corporations have had rights for 200 years now, and they are both where politicians store their money and leverage their power. They have learned that as long as 51% are not outraged, 1% can have everything and 48% can be milked for everything. (51% just get milked for 50%, and get to look down on the 48%.) It's a numbers game, and always has been. (check your bank account to see if you have enough numbers to count.)
7:34 Friday morning here on the West Coast and the 2nd video is also "unavailable". You must have really pissed someone off on the YouTube staff...
Nada. Hmmm. Having eliminated net neutrality, the evangelicals have taken over and censured this video. Just yesterday they were warning people not to eat Impossible Burgers, as it was a leftist plot to alter one's DNA. Gotta eat the beef that Gawd intended. Praise to the Lard!
Works now! Can't say the same for our political and economic reality. What we now have is a gov't of the corporatocracy, by the robber barons, for the oligarchs.
Video not playing in Germany. US preparing for a preemptive strike in Iran probably?
This one shows unavailable now?
Apparently.
Only your Mr. D. Goes to Washington seems top have disappeared. I DO remember watching it and even posting a comment when was first posted, but it's gone. Not on Youtube either! I guess TRUMP's finally zeroed in on you, too bad, it was nice knowing you Brian. I hope you enjoy the concentration camp ;-) Or maybe he'll name it the Gulag as a shout-out to his good buddy Putin? Or maybe a reeducation camp like his Pal in North Korea? If you ever get a chance to smuggle out a note please let me know what they call it!
That really made me laugh!!!
And no one is having a problem with any of the other videos?
One of your other recent videos was removed from my downloads, so either you initiated that or it was fully removed. That was last week.
It still doesn't work--it says "this video is unavailable"
This is really freaking me out.
Can you watch it without signing into your YT account?
It plays right here for me, without any other windows open (like YouTube).
This video is unavailable
OMG! What the heck is going on? I can watch it here. D'oh!!!
