Why does anyone give Larry Summers oxygen to speak?

Everyone should watch this: Summers’s faux-compassionate patronizing as he shafts the workers and the poor (often one and the same) vs his anger when Jon calls BS on insane corporate and shareholder profits driving inflation - not the tiny increases to long-stagnant wages.

Yet he props up Hilary Clinton, and gives medals to Nazi's.

Summers is simply (but disturbingly) your typical capitalist psychopath, a socially conditioned neoliberal slave to bourgeois capitalism: in public he's friendly, conciliatory, even 'charming', but in private he's a sadistic, aggressive oppressor & exploiter, everyone's enemy.

Summers - we must take our medicine, so the poor and working class must loose their jobs and live in poverty so the rest of American can buy cheap shit, corporations can continue to price gouge and BONUS corporations can f*ck over workers with wage reductions.

Larry Summers is the opposite of the type of people we need in position.

Summers has NEVER wanted strong Organized Labor in America. His standard policy answer to everything (raise rates, kill jobs) was born in the late 70s with Voellker and goes directly against Labor. How the hell can a comedian be a far better economist than the economist?

Those voters have been tricked in to believing that inflation is the most important issue today. It’s been the only thing talked about for the past two years besides trans rights.

What ever happened to human capital theory?
