"Amidst the hype, excitement and nervousness of the election, the bigger picture of what the United States is and how it operates often gets lost on people. Many think that choosing one or another candidate will significantly alter their future to better represent their values, but in reality there is only one group of people that matter the most: those who Dr. Peter Phillips, professor emeritus at Sonoma State University, calls the “titans of capital.”

In his new book by the same name, Phillips studies the economic trends following the COVID-19 pandemic and how the wealth concentration in the world took a dramatic turn towards the already ultra-wealthy. He joins host Robert Scheer on this episode of Scheer Intelligence to further analyze these trends and how dire inequality is becoming."

In comedy, especially among stand-ups, there's a tradition of telling a shaggy dog joke wherein during an audition a comic describes acts of increasing depravity until saying the punchline, "I call it The Aristocrats!" Even after watching the documentary about this joke, I'm afraid the comics lacked the imagination required to plum the depths of the depravity of the ruling class.

Aristocrats + Titans of Capital =  Artitsocraps

And they rule!
