I already folks, it's been a while since we've done some woke tick-tocks, and the time has come, yet again. My producers are torturing me here on Labor Day, so let us begin with a fun again.

2:15This video is sponsored by our friends over at Ramp. It's all made up. The way our current society is designed, it's literally designed to drive a person insane. They expect too much out of us. They expect us to work all of our waking hours for little to no pay. They can treat us however they want, or not supposed to crash out, or talk back, or just supposed to mainly shut up and take it. And if you have a bad reaction, or you eventually get to a point where you've had all you can take, everybody just looks at you like you're some type of a cancer on society. I am very, very, very, very upset about this. I mean, I have a feeling that it's not the society that's making you like this, as you stare dead-eyed into the camera non-blinking. They keep making me crazy. They're making me so crazy. I'm so crazy right now, but they won't accept that it's the society making me crazy. They just keep saying I'm crazy. Am I crazy? Do I look crazy to you? The thing? Oh my god, this one. The capital is the only people that really benefit are the top 0.003%.

3:19Agreed. It's very simple. It's just way too unbalanced. Capitalism is a system of evil. The unfairness of the entire system. But you think that putting other people down is the only way that you can win. Yep. You know, you could just give all that money to charity. You're good. You could do that, but you're not going to do any of that, are you? You're just going to get your bad capitalism while you're clear to that check. By the way, the greatest line all of human history is the capitalism only benefits the people at the top. That is the biggest crock of horses. Communism only benefits the people at the top. They're the ones who have the nice houses and the nice apartments and the nice cars. And everyone else is dirt poor. The poor people in capitalism are richer than pretty much everyone else in the non-capitalist world. Very systemic intention of growing up in a capitalistic hierarchy, growing up impoverished in a capitalistic hierarchy is the feeling that unless you come from financial stability and financial prosperity, you aren't allowed to have casual hobbies that aren't making you any money.

4:19You aren't allowed to have hobbies that you do not monetize because you feel like you're wasting your time and wasting money. Like, I fully am aware of the fact that my articulation isn't where it used to be and it is actively slipping away from me, not like at a dangerous degree. But I do feel like I am not as articulate as I used to be when I was in high school. One, because of neurodivergency that is going on treated because of poverty. And two, because I don't read because books cost money. What? Capitalism is the reason you don't read? First of all, I feel like that's a pretty monetizable skill reading and knowing things. I made a pretty good living doing some of those things. You don't read. That's your takeaway from the capitalism is that you can't get books. Capitalism made books so cheap that it put libraries literally out of business because it is cheaper for you to get a book from Amazon than it is to get in your cars. You go to the library and check it out in many cases. I grew up in Canada. Okay. We have socialized medicine. And I am here to tell you that this

5:25bullsh**t line that you get on all of the political shows from people is that it's a failure. The system is a failure in Canada. It is not a failure in Canada. I never waited for anything in my life. I chose my own doctors. My mother never paid for a prescription. It was fantastic. And I just got back from Vancouver. And I keep hearing this like, Canadians are so nice. Canadians are so nice. They can be nice because they have health care. Because they have a government that cares about them. We have to say yes to socialism to the word and everything. You could go back to Canada where you would earn zero dollars for your funny faces. You could do that. I noticed and also it is not true. The reality is the wait times for things that are pretty necessary. Like for example, cancer treatments in Canada are exorbitant that everybody who's rich in Canada has a serious healthcare problem comes down to the United States for that problem. Canadians are not nice because they have nationalized health care. That's a weird, weird day. Because it turns out that we have a quasi-form of nationalized

6:28healthcare in the United States called Medicaid. Another one called Medicare. The people who are on those don't seem markedly nicer than the people who are on private insurance. This is kind of a strange take. We'll get to more of whatever this is in a moment. First imagine if I did this show using news from three weeks ago. Breaking news, everybody from three weeks ago you would not be watching. Because information is only useful if you get it in time to actually do something useful with it. And yet that's kind of how a lot of businesses manage their expenses. They wait until the end of the month, they close the books, and then they discover where the money went. That is a backwards way to do things. Ram lets you see every dollar moving through your business in real time. Expense coding happens automatically. Transactions sink directly to your ERP. Instead of discovering bad spending after the fact, you set the rules up front. Merchant controls, category limits, approval workflows, so out of policy spending can be blocked before it ever happens. There's a real difference between catching a problem while you can still act on it. And finding it buried in a report through a good slate once it's already too late to do anything, but complain about it. Ram gives businesses competitive credit limits based on real-time business financials. No personal guarantee required. It's already working for more than 70,000 businesses. Ram reports $12 billion saved and 27 million hours of busy work eliminated. The average company

7:32sees 5% savings and 16% revenue growth in the first year alone. So stop running your business on last month's news. Stop waiting until next month. Switch to Ram. See it all in real time.

Before the Cuban revolution and the communists took over, basically nobody had rights. Black people didn't have rights. Women didn't have rights. Most of the land was basically working on trigger plantains and were effectively slaves. And most of the island was owned by four nationals who were not citizens of the country after the communist revolution. Basically, all of that went away, changed, and improved. Their literacy rate is almost 100%. And their life expectancy is currently higher than America. Same exact situation with China before the communists took over, basically the entire country wasn't even a country. They had no centralized government. They had no infrastructure. It was a land, a poor land of agrarian feudal peasants with no education and no literacy run by warlords. And it was war torn after the communists took over. The life expectancy shot up almost doubled, almost triple. And the modern China is a direct result of Mao Zedong taking over.

8:38I mean, I guess the tens of millions of dead people was like a kind of sad side effect or something. And also mass starvation in China as a result of Mao Zedong's rule. That wasn't a thing. And I guess the Cubans who fled by literally the hundreds of thousands over the course of the last several decades, they must have just been misinformed because they had a great all the Cuban expats who came over to Florida, trying to literally float cars from Cuba to the United States. It was because they just didn't understand how good they had it. You know, if this dude wants to immigrate to Cuba or to China, he could try it today and see how well it goes for him. Love you all, but there's a few people in here that have a lot more money than me. And uh, then I, if you're a billionaire, why are you a billionaire? No hate, but yeah, give your money away. Shorties. Love you guys. Thank you so much. I gave you money away. I said for my mansion, is your richer than I am? I like how rich is like one dollar richer than she is. If you make one dollar more than

9:38Billy Ilish, then you should give all your money away. But if you make Billy Ilish money, you're one of the people. That's the way this works. Charity begins with the person who makes one dollar more than I do. If you still think communism is a bad idea, I want you to do research into the amount of money that the United States has funded into suppressing communist movements. They've done this across the world, but the most notable case is Fred Hampton and the Rainbow Coalition. Fred Hampton was revolutionary in the Civil Rights era, and he started the Rainbow Coalition, which was uniting working class people across black, white, gay, everyone. And that's when they killed him. That's when the FBI went into his house and killed him while he was sleeping next to his pregnant wife. They were so scared that white, brown, black people would unite under the cause of realizing that the real oppression is capitalism. The real impression is the bourgeoisie that they killed him. That, that is insane. I mean, the killing of Fred Hampton was indeed a bad, bad thing. That radicalized you against capitalism totally, Stalin getting

10:41tens of millions of people killed or male killing 40 million people or communism killing hundreds of thousands of people throughout the world and wide variety of other conflicts. That's not radicalized you against communism, but the federal government essentially assassinating Fred Hampton. That radicalized you against the entire American system forever. That was, that was the thing, okay? The problem is capitalism. The problem is the exploitation of the working class. The problem is that the system has been set up so that you can work and work and work for hours and days and weeks and months and years on end and not see any gain or any benefit from it. Your work doesn't benefit you. It benefits the people that you're working for. The problem is that the people in power and the people who make the laws are having their pockets filled by companies and corporations so that they do exactly as they're told. The problem is that we live in a sociopathic economic system where some people are deemed more valuable than others and if you don't have any economic value, then you deserve nothing. You don't get healthcare, you don't get housing, you don't get

11:42your basic human rights respected or protected. All you get is exploited for all the money that they can get out of you and then you die. I mean, I'm sorry that she's having a life that she doesn't like very much, but she seems to have the housing and probably healthcare and she's talking into a capitalist-made phone. Yeah, get rid of capitalism and pretty much this whole thing doesn't exist, including the video because ain't no innovation. We're living through a moment in time where people in charge, the people with the most money are telling us to fear one another, but we know better than that. The first people that authoritarians try to shut down are not politicians. They're journalists who ask questions. They're the artists who refuse simple answers that the filmmakers, writers, actors and musicians. That is true. It is also true that no one has shut down George Clooney or journalists or any of that. So what are you talking about, Medude? And also when you say rich people are, they're the ones who are polarizing us, George Clooney is so rich. He's incredibly, incredibly wealthy. And you know what's kind of polarizing is suggesting that the people who

12:43disagree with you are authoritarians who are akin to Mussolini or Hitler. That's kind of polarizing, a little. I can't even listen to this. I can't. Why am I going deaf? I love how we are now just hijacking terms and making them mean a different thing. The most America first thing would be if we just surrendered to the Soviet Union. That would have been the most America first thing ever. Okay, man. That was horrifying. And my producers get a sick pleasure in torturing me with that sort of stuff. So if you have any other TikToks you would like me to react, you can drop them in the comments below. Otherwise, have yourself a very nice weekend and get back to work.
