As one of the millions of humans out of work, overqualified, and dependent on unemployment, I urge EVERYONE to watch this video.

He lays it out so clearly. It's too bad he can't have larger exposure in America. He does have plenty of things on Youtube and as the person introducing him in this video says, he has a weekly radio program on Pacifica radio stations (I listen via the internet on KPFA.org on Fridays...10 a.m. PST, 1 p.m. EST).
