Ronnie Moas schools corporate media on Walmart/Amazon (CNBC video)

This guy's been receiving death threats from his attacks on how the 1% hoards money and treats its workers. It's refreshing to see someone speak the truth so bluntly on a corporate media outlet like CNBC.

I knew he was going to get slammed pretty hard when I saw the clip. Takes a lot of balls to go on a Wall Street TV show and talk about the moral and ethical vacuum of corporatism. Plenty of hate in the comments at the CNBC web site:

but he wouldn't take it. This is the kind of fire that I'd like to see from our Democratic politicians. This is a winning issue with the people because it's such common sense. Anyone who watched that exchange knows which side was talking out of their rear, but yeah you're still going to find the corporatist deniers in the comment section there. That's in no way representative of how the American people feel though.

"the problem", trying to attribute it to the terrible habits of workers, their genetic flaws, or anything else that will get them off the hook. Or found more useless charities that focus on mostly ineffectual activities.

Yes, obscene is the word.
