Rapacious Oligarchy, Indeed . . . .

The second segment of yesterday's The Current is a Chris Hedges interview which is excellent.  Take 24 minutes out of your day and listen to the audio here.

The man nails it once again using terms to describe "the people who essentially hold power in the US" as those "with unchecked central authority" and are members of "a tiny, rapacious oligarchic class."

Good stuff . . . .

One of the best interviews I've heard on The Current in a very long time. The information about the coal mining industry was really an eye-opener as was the dirty thirties migrant workers strategies being adopted by more than just construction and farming industries.

Fact-filled, wasn't it, BY?

Chris continues to articulate today's situation most eloquently . . . .

Definitely fact filled. I am really curious to see the mining excavation equipment he described.
