if you’ve subjected everyone in the
population to the equal risk that every
4 to 7 years you’re gonna lose your job
you’re gonna have to rely on whatever
savings you have you’re gonna be

education in everything people wouldn’t
have gotten rid of capitalism long ago
there’s a joke I say to my students you
know if you lived with a roommate as
unstable as capitalism you would have
moved out long ago right it’s
intolerable so in order for capitalism
to survive it comes the punchline it
can’t subject the mass of people to the
risk of a collapse every 4 to 7 years it
has to find some subgroup and make them
the fall guy
the ones who absorb the crash every 4 to
7 years well in Europe here’s how its in
Europe they bring immigrants in from the
Middle East from North Africa they bring
him into France into Germany into and
when they when the when the crash comes
they send them home we used to do that
in this country with Mexicans with Latin
Americans with Berto Ricans and so on

their on the Amazon I’ve been saying
because people went into the streets
that’s why this is how it’s not
