Meaningful videos from this week. Their main themes: the coronavirus-triggered economic crisis (with abuse from the corrupt ‘elites’) and capitalism, how it hurts, and where to move from that. Also, how Europe has handled COVID-19 far less harmfully.
BTW, if you ever wondered why we, the people, should connect differently than only through corporate social media, look at what happened within a minute of me trying to share a previous Video Weekend on Facebook (I originally suspected an anti-democratic algorithm, but it may have been a troll, either way is bad): Public Censorship by Facebook — Also, I am too busy with continued education currently for sharing these posts on social media. So, subscribers please make use of my posts to save your own time searching for informative alternative media publications and also share the videos you find good, or the whole post, with your friends so that the time I spend sharing them here isn’t totally wasted. 😉

1. European Stable COVID-19 Economic Crisis Treatment
How Germany Is SAVING JOBS During Crisis. w/Dylan Ratigan ~ The Jimmy Dore Show (May 20, 2020)
Comment: By and large good for Europeans what their governments did, except that it stabilizes exploitive capitalism making people’s revolutions less likely (exactly what the rich ruling class wants). Then, again, further below XXXXX argues for a peaceful transition out of corporate capitalism (also worth thinking about), which could pick up the torch from such stability and relief measures. –- Another note: Self-employed working folks did not receive a relief that way.
2. Even the Fed Chairman Suggests Relief for the People
Fed Chairman Urges Congress To Bail Out PEOPLE! w/Dylan Ratigan ~ The Jimmy Dore Show (May 20, 2020)

Movement for a People’s Party National Call May 21, 2020 (incl. Nick Brana, Jerry Perez, and more)
4. Seriously Biden?
Good thoughts and reminders at the start. Once the Biden topic is over, the clip mostly renders pointless babbling (something that Katie and Matt of Rolling Stone regularly do):
