Dope Tech Episode 2

<<@linuxman7777 says : I get 1 month vacation as well as sick leave and other types of PTO here in the US, but I have a college degree, for the lower classes, I do feel pretty bad for them as leave is not guaranteed. But the US is far from the worst when it comes to overworking people, and work here isn't too difficult compared to other countries I have worked in. Also the US, if you invest your money, is probably the easiest country to retire early in. Wages are high, and investment opportunities are better in the US than elsewhere.>> <<@BendeMark says : In South Africa, a shithole country, we have 30 days sick leave, 4 months paid maternity and 10 days paternity leave. This is still way below levels provided by countries like Estonia, where my wife’s from. It’s a year paid maternity or paternity leave, with a possibility to extend it for another 6 months, with half the pay. Is America a real place? 🤷🏾‍♂️>> <<@catherineminnis8073 says : What about wealthy conservatives.>> <<@iamsemjaza says : Sick days also slow the spread of disease.>> <<@adryellehastings4675 says : Nah...democrats are worried about the over sexualization of negroe men...For some strange ass reason....😂😂😂😂>> <<@pooshoveler says : I wasn't being tough on crime ana. They voted for a felon... you're unbearable.>> <<@stuartking8905 says : Wages going up is not a sustainable solution because prices will go up. There is a discrepancy between salary vs hourly employees. Hourly employees have limited sick, masked in PTO hours. Salaried employees have unlimited sick with conditions.>> <<@stuartking8905 says : If you look at the political landscape red states vs blue states, the poorest states are overwhelmingly Republican regardless who is president. It is an interesting phenomenon.>> <<@CraigMcfly1985 says : Cenk they got what they ask for in Trump. And corruption will not going anywhere.>> <<@CraigMcfly1985 says : You damn right Ana❤ Bernie Sanders was correct and people were just fuckin selfish and too blind to see it.>> <<@merribithiah5600 says : Corporate taxes are duplicate taxes that consumers pay since they are built into the prices (“duplicate” as in addition to income taxes)>> <<@troysims2753 says : Increase min wage and then bitch when a Mcdonald's combo pak is $25>> <<@danrode104 says : If anything wages will be cut... LoL!!!>> <<@Hatz127 says : I think the lesson here is these ppl like things Democrats have been pushing for years but the culture war stuff keeps them voting right>> <<@orgullosamentemexicana952 says : HIS A MORON! ANA GET UR OWN SHOW! 🙄>> <<@fraa888grindr6 says : $15 hourly minimum wage in MO is staggering. If inflation is brought down, those high ENTRY LEVEL wages will drive them right back up. $15 phr in MO is like $30-35 hourly in CA - it's going to affect all other costs AND put the bottom workers into higher state and federal tax brackets. Minimum wages kill small businesses while benefiting big businesses. Wages don't need to rise - prices need to fall. Idiots.>> <<@Jorhanbear says : They voted for white workers. The same way they voted to give white women the right to vote. It is not that complicated.>> <<@misterhaan says : my company has over 10k employees, and they give us half a sick day every month, which works out to 6 a year. they don't expire though so having worked here a long time and not needing sick days often, i currently have 30 days saved up. i wonder what my company would take away if made to give us one extra day of sick leave per year.>> <<@ROGERX007 says : Trump also wants to get rid of federal tax and tax on tips etc>> <<@DreddMeister says : Better sick leave policies will force businesses to ensure their employees are healthy and happy. This will result in less sick leave.>> <<@chrisvargo5163 says : Cenks tone makes it very hard to take him serious on anything>> <<@hayzersolar says : i have a small company of 5 employees there is no way i can pay them 40 hours of sick leave and still make money. so, i guess i have to fire them cut back and only do what i can handle.>> <<@Myr3390 says : my rich friends say it all the time, if you are taking money as a politician, you are bought by someone. I vote left and right but i don't have allegiance to parties, i have allegiance to workers.>> <<@peterandersson5242 says : Are you guys getting sane?>> <<@CharlesJones-qr6gd says : 15.00 to flip a f****** hamburger are you kidding me>> <<@SnarkySailor says : I’m a libertarian and I just subscribed because TYT is the only left media org that legitimately fights the establishment. Anyone brave enough to fight their establishment is cool with me>> <<@battles423 says : Has TYT always been a republican network propaganda pretending to be a liberal platform… Genius>> <<@edwinguzman4904 says : I need you all to listen to me on this topic. We do not have an issue with inflation, the problem we have is that over 60% of every dollar you earn goes to taxes, from the remainder of your funds, you're tax on all your utility bills, clothing, some groceries, and pretty much everything you purchase. So in reality it not that things are too expensive, it's that you have no money left over after paying all the taxes>> <<@johnwaldrop8237 says : "you have a lot more in common as working class progressives to working class conservatives, than you do with wealthy liberals." It's happening to TYT. They're learning... It's not about Red vs. Blue. It's about wealthy elites vs. everyone else.>> <<@UKindness4 says : Georgia's far right redneck Kemp republican state refuses to allow these issues people want on the ballot.>> <<@Doctoroflaughter1975 says : Im a republican, but i enjoy watching you 2😊>> <<@harveyr8292 says : Keep doing guest appearences to boost your dwindling revenue>> <<@just-go says : I'm a Brit living in Europe and I look forward to the US bringing its laws into the second half of the 20C before the end of the first half of 21C. Sick leave; healthcare; minimum wage; political contributions; end of the Gerry Mander .... Even the far right in Europe like healthcare and minimum wage!>> <<@creepyrkelly8856 says : Facts. Walmart loves increase in wages. It will make it harder for mom and pop shops to keep up payroll. Walmart will just raise prices to account for wage increase. How do we know. Because its happened>> <<@mikemaresca4999 says : Aww, it's adorable watching Cenk try to grow a brain.>> <<@robertmarr5664 says : States are the ones who SHOULD be passing this stuff. The federal government has no business setting a minimum wage. If you want to connect with voters on the right, go read the 10th amendment. Good job to Maine though - that should be a federal law, because we are talking about FEDERAL elections.>> <<@billyjohnson1977 says : The democrats lost touch. They believe a bubble dweller that never got their hands dirty in their life identifies with the coal miner. Just like democrats believe the best way to battle racism against one people is to be racist against another.>> <<@MarthaTorres-gu7vd says : I still think your missing whats going on. The united states was built on idividualism. We are a costitutional republic. Free speach gun rights . The united states constitutioon.>> <<@koyaanisqatsi78 says : Come on what bullshit.. yes dems screwed up big time but you're fighting demagoguery 101, the language Trump and other parties now in the world use has been avoided by Western Democratic Politicians for 80 years because well some form of decency you don't go out on that stage and vilify and move the masses to target groups as we've been through this many times and looks like we're going through it again in many places..and well the previous victims are leading the charge in some everlasting cycle of passed on generational trauma and learned behaviour as well in the end we're mostly still great apes playing fancy dress parties. Not that these types of people didn't exist, or that there were no parties like that but they were shunned & blocked.. but ever since the internet their game has been way stronger and it's an excellent tool to get short strong messages across... everyone on the other side is kinda forced to use nuance but is therefor already very boring and easily wiped away. Everyone is on their phones these days throughout the day, the channels, websites, personalities supporting Trump dwarf anything on the other side.. even when it just comes to "political" talkers their numbers are better, you're against the podcast, the comedy scene, the ufc scene, the wwe, all those religious channels, all the red pill alpha bs channels, all the gun channels.. and then the "left" political pundits are also a help as all kinds of channels like this mostly cover what the other internet personalities are saying in little circle jerk instead of having clear messaging of your own.>> <<@kingsleybrown7622 says : Oh and by the way there are progressive democrats in the electorate who live in so-called “red states.” They - Cenk and Ana - also don’t seem to understand how politicians - particularly Republicans but not always - can cheat a bill by throwing in unpopular nonsense on the ticket, that has nothing to do with the issues on the bill globally; a method to either have the bill defeated, or to have useless wasteful sh*t passed unaware to the American public. It’s likely the Dems refused to support these bills because Republicans pork barrelled the ticket. So just another way for Cenk and Ana to misinform and misrepresent the facts. The Republicans did it- actually out right voted down - severe boarder security measures that they actually devised in the house! Why because they/ Trump wanted a Republican administration to do it in order to look good for his base..And Americans as a whole just ignore this nonsense.🤦🏿‍♂️>> <<@kingsleybrown7622 says : So let me get this straight…these two believe that Americans voted for Trump because of an increase in minimum wages - meanwhile ignoring the fact that the Democratic’s provided them employment in the first place, cutting unemployment in half - is the reason people voted Trump?🤦🏿‍♂️This denial just gets better? I wonder if they realize that the entire world but them - and lying MAGATS - sees this election results for what it is…there’s deep seated sexism in America? Americans with “their bread and butter issues” - what like sexism/racism/bigotry? I guess Dems should’ve leaned more into populist demonization like they have??? I think even Republicans are surprised at how well it worked?😂 Yeah at any rate I’ve lost respect for these two once they started referring to Hillary and Kamala as “dumb”…feeds right into the sexism, the real reason for Dems loss. (They seem to have forgotten the despicable attack adds the Republicans used against female candidates to use such language against women). So yeah no respect, I cannot entertain support for them anymore. Ana is done with progressive politics she says? I hope more and more are done with them. Can’t wait to see Elon and Trump shut this shit down. Karma is the true bitch!>> <<@robgilmour3147 says : what kind of 3rd world country doesn't give sick leave?>> <<@terrywenban6816 says : Its pretty obvious that division is America's biggest issue which has been a big reason for Trump's rise in power. In Australia we have 4 weeks annual leave, 7 days of public holidays, accumulative sick leave at 7 days a year plus mental health days. To be sacked you have to be paid a redundancy payment usually 1 weeks pay for every year in the job plus a lump sum, when I was made redundant after 7 years I received roughly a years pay.>> <<@peterb.5625 says : 5 days sick leaf is indeed a no brainer here in Europe. I'm shocked that is an issue in the US. In Belgium we have 20 days.>> <<@patryspatrys7824 says : Fck no...what bread & butter issues did Trump focus on>> <<@evileyeball says : I'd have to check my collective bargaining agreement with the BC general employees union but I know I get more sick days than either of those the crazy thing is in 13 years of me working at my job I've only been sick enough to need to use them twice and I've used a total of 4 sick days in 13 years but even still I'm glad I have them>> <<@kingsleybrown7622 says : No they didn’t vote for Trump because of better wages?? 🤦🏿‍♂️. (They voted for Republicans bills that Republicans would never pass?) They’re making false correlations and speaking out both sides of their mouths…We are talking about the votes for Trump…period! Trump’s platform never once spoke of increasing minimum wage? So they couldn’t vote for something never mentioned. In fact what Trump did mention was “evil commie radical leftist social policies,” in which is supporters cheered. None of this is relative to voting for Trump…but as Cenk clearly admitted (and like I said before)…they’re looking to join populism to gain support!>> <<@itdoesmatteryep8822 says : The way Democrats are responding after the election is guaranteeing Republican victories going forward. The only states Democrats can ever win are states that don't have voter ID laws.>> <<@geeknoid says : I 100% support paid sick leave but I also say it is ONLY to be used for sick days not to take a 4 or 5-day weekend.>> <<@geeknoid says : Stop it Cenk you have been calling Conservatives stupid and the enemy of the country for years>>
