Videos for a quarantine day

Bernie Sanders previews debate strategy against Joe Biden in 'fireside chat' The Hill 03/15/2020. The next couple of days will presumably be either the height of Sanders influence, or a big turnout in his Presidential campaign. And he's in top form. "You can't be a President and just talk off the top of your head. Especially when you don't know anything."


Yanis Varoufakis: The fight against pandemics can only be won with free, public health care DiEM25 03/13/2020 (Greek with English subtitles). Yes, the global economy is largely riding on a private debt bubble right now. And the yield curve was already strongly signalling recessions for the US.

For a music break, Ina Regen feat. Helene Fischer-Heast as net 12/30/2018:


Here's a video by Richard Wolff. TRIGGER WARNING, especially for corporate Democrats. Wolff identifies as a MARXIST. So if your reaction to that is "OMG!! VENEZUEEEEE-EEEELA!!!", you should probably skip this one. I think he tends to be a bit melodramatic anyway, but staring straight into the camera enhances the effect. AskProfWolff: COVID-19 and the Stock Market Democracy At Work 03/11/2020:


And, for good measure, the Steve Earle song from the 2000s that suddenly has new currency, And I'll show a little solidarity with the Bidenistas and suggest this should be Joe Biden's campaign song, Amerika V. 6.0 (The Best We Can Do) (Live):



Okay, that's kind of thin solidarity, I know. But, hey, "it's the best that we can do."
