Self-Made Billionaire Tillman Fertitta On The Economy Under Trump | Velshi & Ruhle | MSNBC
Self made … what he got born by itself 😂
If we had to return everything that was given to us, we would have nothing left
Nobody is self made and claiming so is very arrogant
At best this dude profited from workers and the economy to become rich himself
MSNBC = Elitist
Ikki Taku this guy talks like someone who has never had any problems. “Everyone has a talent”. Really! You are so right. This guy is an elitist supreme. Capitalism has worked for him so he assumes it works for everyone. He’s afraid of social programs you can see it in his eyes when Stephanie questions him. It’s like ‘don’t take my privilege!’.
Whoa!?
You guys seem a little too sane,
The new abnormal.
Rothschild dynasty of banking
Trillionaires seems odd five brother’s all in the industry of money, supporting wars, among other financial investments not connected to Federal reserve when beyond any doubt that they’re largely responsible for the mess our economic system, etc.. has failed miserably!
Is he a self-made person like Jeffrey Epstein?
I don’t this Tilman Fertitta has seen the vast ghost towns and downtrodden neighborhoods across the country. In addition to Healthcare and a raised minimum wage the country also needs a huge injection into first-class public school education where kids turn out to be educated consumers.
It’s difficult to listen to someone claim it’s the CEOs who create jobs. NO. It’s the consumer demand that creates jobs. NEXT computer failed under Steve Jobs because there was no consumer demand. This guy is arrogant and out of touch.
Businesses create products, demand, and the jobs. So yeah CEO’s create jobs lol
Only someone who won’t really be affected by a recession would say we need one.
So you understand the consequences of perpetual growth?
@tonycodolo So what then, the end times? Armageddon? or just a perpetual cycle of growth, stagnation, war, death,, repeat
Right? Lol
having one coming and needing one is a big diffference.
im for capitalism but not the abuse of it. makes no sense when it can work so well where everybody wins. but who cares i dont got any say. just wanted to say watch what happens to that home depot stock regardless of his connection or non connection to it. been watchin lowe’s and all of a sudden its showin some irregular movements
He definitely described pure capitalism to a T. Eat the weak. That is definitely the majority of Americans mentalities. That’s also why all the sickening things that plaugue the country exist. You can’t have a dog eat dog, survival of the fittest Society, and expect honorable and integral people to be a product of such a society. Your going to have a sinister, narcesistic sociopathic apathetic heartless majority, that cares little to nothing about anything but themselves. America is a cesspool of people like this on all levels. Just because they hide it better than most, doesn’t change the fact that it’s the truth. It gets worse and worse everyday.
Sad but true. People like Bill Gates only give after they destroyed lives.
But then again, it is the government’s responsibility not billionaires
Any system that has to crash in a continuous pattern is not a good system.
If the playing field was fair and even you can bet the people in charge would not be in charge.
He doesn’t get it. I did catch the part where he said eat the weak. Maybe we eat the rich.
That was very telling.
“The colonies would gladly have borne the little tax on tea and other matters had it not been that England took away from the colonies their money, which created unemployment and dissatisfaction. The inability of the colonists to get power to issue their own money permanently out of the hands of George III and the international bankers was the PRIME cause, of the Revolution.” – Benjamin Franklin
life expectancy has gone down three years straight, How is that capitalism working.
What’s this guy’s name? Woo-Hoo! Everyone has a gift and his happened to be ripping off the many for the glory of the one. This guy makes $$. Ya-_Hoo! His answers are ignorant and memorized. Nazi’s got rich too.
what about the people over 50 who are unemployed?
This guy is not addressing changes in industry and technology that leave some people behind.
where technology leaves people behind is only where people refuse to open their minds and reeducate themselves to that field. for example your land may be flooding with increasing storms so it can no longer grow crops because of climate change however it could still be useful as a windfarm with those increased storms to charge the circuits perhaps?
Sigh. I loved the MSNBC perspective here, but this is to Frittata:
WHY DOES A CRAPPY ROTHKO MAKE MILLIONS🎒, YET A DECENT PAINTING BY AN AMATEUR IS REJECTED BY SOTHEBY’S🌃??
BECAUSE TALENT WILL GET YOU NO WHERE.
It’s about WHO you know. Crap, and I don’t know anyone. 😂
It’s NOT a fair system. Capitalism has become a bunch of neo cons, and
Only rare stunts can get one the publicity they need, but usually that incurs jail time. 😂😂😂😂😂
Oh by the way, me and hemo had an interesting convo on economy on another MSNBC vid, Frittata. It was a climate change vid. Hold on…https://youtu.be/W8Rhol35NUU . Here it is. You may need some booze before reading comments, Frittata 😂
Capitalism does not work, it works for the rich like him, I am open to socialism to distribute the wealth.The poor are stupid to go to basketball games to make the basketball players rich and their owners. Capitalism is dead
He has a talent, but… mention why we need laws.
If everybody behaved themselves we wouldn’t need laws. The USA has a huge federal department called the Federal Trade Commission, because so many capitalists do not behave themselves. Just do some research on “The Seven Sisters” or “The Baby Bells” . But… it might be that evolution ( tested over the last 4 billion years is better than capitalism) might be better, but might be more than we can handle. Evolution is violent.
Pushing the corrupt billionaires who have destroyed the middle class. Thanks Steph, for nothing.
