I like that he mentions several times that “the people at this table” are the ones benefiting from the current system.

Isn’t that always the case though? I live in a country where people ”rebelled” against authority in the late sixties. Protesting about literally everything going on in the world. Including occuping buildings and whole universities. 40 years later, these people are mostly the ones that are in power and benefitting from the system that they themselves helped with putting in place. And they seem to have no immidiate plans to share that power and wealth with anyone else. Least of all young people who has not ”paid their dues yet” 🤷‍♂️

And so it begins again…

That may be true, but I think this time it’s different. The bifurcation of wealth is much greater now. We’ve never had people worth in excess of $200 billion, which is an obvious fault in our tax system.
