I agree with the guy. Too much government. Government employees, and those who receive money from the government, tend to be a little socialist. After all, they work for the government. I would be too.
As a side-note: Bernie Maddoff approached him looking for his investment money. He could tell it was a scam and didn't want any part of it. I hope he lives to 110 or more.

For ten thousand years it's been a fundamental tenet of the human race that you had to work to survive, that is, to secure food, clothing, shelter and security for oneself and one's family. That basic truth is now being challenged and undermined by the notion that work is not necessary for survival. Instead, all one needs is a government with the willingness to print money in an endless flow and find a way to get it to its citizens. We'll see soon enough if that new paradigm is true, or if it's as full of shit as common sense would have us believe.

Not only will the sheeple never have to work, they'll never have to think as well thanks through the relentless pursuit of autonomous tools such as robots, AI, and brain chip implants. Bill Joy's prophecy is coming to pass:

300 million citizens who can't think and don't work have only one purpose: Soylent Green.
But seriously, one problem with the leftist agenda is that they pretend it exists in a vacuum, and that there aren't opportunistic foreign actors waiting to take advantage of our weaknesses. For example, the primary purpose of our military used to be to maintain a capability to crush any foreign rival if it became necessary. Now that it's primary purpose is to determine whether or not it is woke enough, and whether we have enough gay, lesbian and transgender soldiers and sailors, we are weaker every day because of it, and sooner or later that will cost us dearly on the international stage.

Ultimately, liberals the alphabet crew will breed themselves into extinction. Blame Darwin.
