Hey guys, it's Nate, aka The Foot Account, and welcome back to the channel. Today we have a little extra upload talking about Road to the Finals. Today is a big Thursday with Champions League games being done yesterday. Those upgrades are set in stone for this coming Friday night. But we've got Europa League today and I want to talk about the Europa League specifically, but these upgrades in general for more Road to the Final Upgrades coming this Friday night, we're going to have the most cards upgraded that we will basically ever have because there's so many Europa League cards that will be getting upgraded as they go on to the round of 16, but also before that upgrade happens for Europa League, we have a draw for the round of 16 to see which of those teams are moving on, who they'll be playing in deciding those matchups and that could swing some prices. So that I think is one part of the Road to the Final trading right now that is being overlooked and I want to talk about that because that could seriously move a lot of cards. But I want to talk about upgrades in general. Talk about what we saw last week with Wynaldum with Salah and these cards honestly going up a lot on the actual instant that they got upgraded. I don't know if there are many people as interested last week in the upgrades as there will be this week of course because you have Europa League cards getting upgraded. So let's talk about some of these upgrades and what could happen and specifically that UCL draw because we have a promo come this weekend and that could impact some of these prices as well and I want you guys to keep an eye on these cards if the new promo stuff is really hyped up and these cards drop before their upgrade. That is one thing we'll be talking about today too. But we do have a couple more confirmed upgrades coming after the games this week. Rafael Varan and Real Madrid were down playing against ten men and they ended up getting the W1 nil because of a Furlan-Mendi goal and they are getting upgraded right here. Varan and Ed and Hazard are both getting upgraded on Friday night now for the Champions League cards we don't have to deal with any of the you know what's going to happen with the potential draw the draw for these of course this is only been one leg played for all the Champions League games is not for like a couple weeks yet so it's only Europa League we have to deal with the draw so this hazard will go to a 91 Varan will go to an 89 Davies and Alaba are also going to get upgraded alongside of Gabriel Jesus Joao Cancelo wrote to the final Mason now and I think that covers my basis now a lot of the cards that are getting getting upgraded are pretty expensive for especially these Champions League cards I don't think there's any Champions League cards that are getting upgraded that are unlike the lower tier of price honestly all the ones that are getting upgraded are pretty expensive with Cancelo being the cheapest one at 500 K this guy was $50,000 coins pregame he dropped down to about 490 post game and this is one that I want to talk about specifically because last week what we saw was every single road to the final item that got upgraded on sun on Friday night actually went up in price every single one of them even Brandt went from 140 after the whole incorrect upgrade debacle went from 140 he's now 189 Salah went from 2 mil flat to 2.4 wine although went from 615 to 680 a Kanji when extinct you had a lot of movements on a lot of those on all those cards that got upgraded now this week there's going to be a lot more eyes on that situation and a lot more people are investing for the possible rise after the upgrade so this Cancelo is up already he's being invested in people are buying this card back and they bought him back almost 20,000 coins he was down to 500 below 500 and now he's back up to 515 520 all I have to say here is definitely definitely watch out for the continued investing because at what point is this card just overpriced and part of and at what point is the amount of hype on Manchester City and just the the run that they are on right now how much is that priced into this card for being as expensive as it is or of course for them going all the way and winning the Champions League I think that kind of stigma is priced into this card a little bit in the same thing with Gabriel Jesus I mean this Gabriel Jesus card is 1.1 million coins 1.092 one of the most rare rows of the finals out there he's 86 rated I mean this card looks pretty good give him a plus one he'll look even better but still three star week foot yeah you know high high work rates it is what it is like I think a lot for these city cards a lot of the price is built in that they could go on and win and that's why they're so expensive the same thing with Alaba and Davies they have that potential to go on and win because those teams are just so powerful and what I would watch for especially on Cancelo as we head into the upgrade time frame is a possible dip like when he gets upgraded or in the morning after when he gets upgraded because again these cards get upgraded late at night late at night like midnight UK time 1am UK time on Friday night into Saturday is when you will see these upgraded or when they should be upgraded and honestly if you see this Cancelo get back up to 560 or 570 by the time that that comes that upgrade will be happening I would honestly just be a little bit scared again of that overinvestment because people that bought the card and haven't sold yet are looking to sell when the upgrade happens people that are investing in the card right now after he's dropped post game and buy game and buying it back up they're going to sell probably when that upgrade happens so you might even have more of a sell off on cards that get overinvested when the upgrade happens I'm worried about that on Cancelo the most but these other cards are so rare and so high rated like this hazard at 1.2 mil give this guy a plus one rating and these guys are so rare literally two pages on the market of hazard now of course when he gets upgraded he'll have a little bit more supply but I do think that some of these some of these cards will go up in price Alibis still I feel like is pretty invested in same thing with Davies I think Davies is still honestly too close to his team of the year item honestly to be as expensive as he is but I would I would specifically watch Jay Zeus Veron and Hazard these two big time I mean I think Veron is going to be over 2 million coins when he gets that upgrade unless we have a big time promo this weekend it really drops his price but if this guy is back down he was 1.89 post game today if he's back down towards 1.9 mil or lower than that same thing with hazard if he's in like the 1-1's I would get very interested because again the rare card that we saw last week did incredibly well was this Salah going from 2 million coins when he got upgraded to 2.4 even a guy like Wynyldom who went from 615 to 680 that's a really nice boost and then a watch out again for those plus twos and that's what I'll talk about specifically with these Yoroboli cards next is watch out for those plus twos because there are some plus two upgrades that could be happening with Yoroboli cards that could really spike these cards in price depending on how much they're going for and what we have time frame wise with the promo coming out there's a lot of 84 Yoroboli cards like Bebe would go a plus two soco is getting a plus two right we're in the Spurs kit today because Tottenham is going on to the round of 16 confirmed this is the only Yoroboli card that is confirmed right now as I'm recording this Kessie is an 84 right Bruno Perez Tyson both 84 Renato Sanchez if they can come back and beat Iaxe getting a plus two there Rebiage could get a plus two so big time potential for big price swings on these Yoroboli cards the first Yoroboli card that I want to talk about is Quincy promise because this guy I got lucky enough to sell mine on Wednesday night actually yes no Tuesday night a day before this I sold them at 330,000 coins which was legit his peak he is now down to 190k he was 160 at one point people are saying yo Quincy promise yes he did transfer and that's why he is dropping down so much he's dropping down because people are thinking his card is not going to get upgraded which it shouldn't be because he's no longer at Iaxe and according to EA sports on their own rules here they say what happens if a player transfers or stops playing for a club in the tournament if a player is no longer on the roster of the club in either tournament they will receive they will not receive any further upgrade so of course Quincy promise Iaxe themselves tweeted out this morning I think I quote tweeted it they said that he has transferred back to Spartak in Russia so this card is no longer live the way that I understand it now of course you might be able to read that and say well he still might be on the roster because it happens so fast before the game literally happened the day before they were going to play but in my eyes EA are going to know that this guy is not at Iaxe anymore he didn't play in the last game he didn't play in the first leg last week but I still think this Quincy promise is not getting upgraded but people still think that he is he got bought from 160 all the way up to 190 I would watch for this card to continue selling off and maybe especially if Iaxe win he might even go up some more but I would expect him when the upgrades come out and he does not get upgraded then he would drop a pretty favorable amount and this card basically now is just a special inform with no upgrades coming for it because he literally is not supposed to get any upgrades I also could see EA messing up thinking that he's still at Iaxe for some reason since the transfer happened so fast or just lazily upgrading the card because they know that Iaxe won alright that's potential as well and I'm going to say that's an EA mistake if they upgrade this card because he is not no longer on that on that roster he's no longer on that team so I don't think he's going to get upgraded if you're making coins off of that potential hype though GGs that's a good read of the market now looking at some of these other cards right Cisoco this guy is getting a plus two but again with these Europa League cards there's an extra caveat right there's an extra caveat with these because as we see over here on the Europa League website the Europa League round of 16 draw takes place on February 26th which is Friday so the day after today tomorrow Friday before the content drop of the new promo because this goes live at 13 central what is a central European time which I think this is UK time so I think this is six hours ahead of me in Eastern time zone so I think that's 1pm UK or something like that which like 7am for me so Friday morning Friday morning you're going to see these Europa League cards moving around so whoever whoever wins today on Thursday whoever wins today on Thursday between a lot of these clubs right you're going to see their cards go up for the potential upgrade but then what happens is you're not out of the woods yet because what if Spurs let's say Manchester United today I don't know if this is even possible how random the draws or if they kind of organize it or whatever so that teams from the same leagues don't match up but let's say Spurs somehow draw a man you right right now the Soco cards very expensive he's going to get a plus two and he's going to get a plus two upgrade regardless on on Friday night but if Friday morning if Spurs draw a man you obviously we'd be like okay Spurs might not win that game you might see Soco start dropping because people think he they might not win the next game but he's still do an upgrade he's still do an upgrade later that night so if you see panic selling on cards that are guaranteed an upgrade which all of them will be if they're in the round of 16 definitely keep watching that situation if it's a meta card or if it's a very popular one that people are watching the upgrade for because of the potential boost that card could have once it does get that increased rating so Soco I think is you know it seems really expensive right now this guy's literally got Vieira stats though he's so rare and he after his game today he was down to 1.4 million coins flat almost this guy fluctuates a ton so I would not be surprised if Spurs get a tough matchup if this car would drop a bit make it possibly flippable later into the nighttime because when these guys do get upgraded for their plus twos I mean this car it's going to look ridiculous he's probably going to shoot up in price a little bit depending on what's going on the game of course with the new promo but that's why I want to point out these wrote to the final cards focus on the ones that you know of course as we say this a lot fill and need or fill a position that needs some filling right strikers in the Bundesliga you got Holland you got Levin Dossky and now you have this the Renier objective card but this Bebe card getting a plus two might push him to 98 pace that's ridiculous 98 pace in this card four star skills I know he only has a three star weak foot but he's going to get mid 90s finishing most likely this card is going to look insane with a plus two boost Kessie I mean this card is also rivaling so soco and we're not those Sanchez for how insane he's going to look with a plus two if Milan can pull off the W today this guy's going to look nuts this guy's going to look insane man he's going to get his 80 pace he's going to be club 80s and behold gang and probably 95 physical right this card is going to be nuts so I'm just saying watch out for those cards for the draw with these Europa League cards but I do feel like a lot of these cards will go up in price after their upgrade is possibly coming on Friday night so the one thing to watch for though is let's say these guys win today let's say Kessie goes back up to almost 800,000 coins with that guaranteed update grade at his absolute peak right Milan score they win boom he's 800k post game he drops back off to maybe 720 that's when you get it because if a card went all the way up is super duper high in game when that potential went when basically the upgrade was secured because they because they you know got the lead or they're going to win the game they scored a goal to put them ahead and the upgrade looks to be like it's going to happening be happening that's where you see that peak price like okay if this guy gets an upgrade he could very well get there depending on how hype it is you know how big of the boost is and stuff like that and watch the drop off post game because that's where we could possibly tonight on Thursday night snag a couple cards that get low hold them into the day tomorrow or see if there any fluctuations because also as I talked about with the draw the the opposite could happen right the opposite could happen so let's say like Tottenham draw me and you and it's not looking good for Tottenham right because we're not playing very hot but let's say Arsenal finish off Benfica today and Arsenal are going to get matched up against let's say Grenada pull off the upset against Napoli it's Arsenal versus Grenada or Arsenal versus Shakhtar or a team that would be a quote-unquote easier match up then you might say it got like a bombing when this happens today or when this happens on Friday morning or Friday midday when wherever it's being held Switzerland let's you might see that a bombing go up in price because again people are like hey that's another potential upgrade happening I just wanted to kind of throw out the idea of the the draw for the Europa League and how that could impact prices on Friday morning but same thing that we talked about with Cancelo there's a lot of these Europa League cards that are over invested and I do fear a little bit of potential for dropping post game because people just like to sell these cards post game for whatever reason but I also fear just that little bit of over investment and the possibility wait what this Bruno Pres was 250 and 234 right there I'm going to flip that really fast I just fear the possibility of over investment and that people are waiting for the upgrade for these cards to go up in price but I think there is going to be a window where you will see these cards actually go up and you'll you'll have a buy time after they get sold off post game and then you will see when the upgrades actually happen people will see this stat boost on a card like this getting a plus 2, 95 pace, 82 shot, 73 shooting, 80 physical 84 defense, high 80s dribbling this card is going to be taking over and rivaling Quadrado as the best right back in the Serie A bar the links of course to the P-Monte Cow Show Juventus players but I think this card is going to be stacked it's going to be ridiculous when he does get that upgrade so I'm going to list this up for like 259 or something like that make a little quick flip out of it but definitely 100% watch out for the boost I do think especially with those plus 2's you could see a spike in price and a lot of what we saw with the actual road to the finals like Salah like Wynaldum, Akonji not all of the rises in price were instantaneous a lot of them were a little bit later like people saw the upgrade the morning after Saturday morning and they went out and they bought those cards because they looked cracked they look sick right Salah went from 2.1 to 2.4 that little morning because they saw the upgrade on the card so especially for a high tier player that's rare like Varan, Jesus, Alibaba, Davies, Hazard maybe you see the card not when you see the upgrade happen if you're on late night UK or evening time US or whatever that is for the world in the world for you like midnight UK time watch and look and see if the upgrade looks really really good on the card that's why Akonji exploded right if they give Varan like plus 2 pace if they give him 91 defending 86 physical you're like alright this card's definitely going to be 2 mil because of the upgrade or if they you know if they sauce up Gabriel Jesus like 90 pace 90 shot 92 dribbling or whatever the case may be like if they give Cancelo 91 pace and they if they make the boost really good all I'm saying is you might see an extra bit of rise on that card after the upgrade happens and that's more potential to make profit from that so if you have road to the final investments already as I always say the pregame sell is the safe way the pregame sell is the safe way right depending on let's say you have a guy like Bruno Perez let you know with the position that Rome are in what happens if they choke it today this guy's 260,000 coins right just kind of keep that in mind that selling pregame is always the best take your profit like I have a beaboo that I bought at 237,000 coins I think and he's what 290 or something so I'm probably going to sell this pregame probably going to sell it see if you can maybe creep up to almost 300k pregame sell the card and then whatever happens after that happens and will adjust accordingly but again couple things to watch for today watch the cards that win the cards that win in Europa League today or the cards that won yesterday or on Tuesday for Champions League watch those cards and see if they drop off a little bit lower tonight and especially with the new promo coming if there's any changes on Friday morning for the Champions League cards and then with the draw the guys that win and the guys are getting upgrades watch those drop offs because there's potential for them to rebound when the upgrade happens if overinvesting is not a thing and if those upgrades are good now one last point let's say some of these guys lose today Arsenal Benfica's 1-1 draw right now let's say for some reason Benfica beat Arsenal today and Arsenal is in the mud watch a card like this a bombing these road to the final cards are very rare they're still really cool looking especially the Europa League ones with the yellow these guys will drop off and they will bounce back kind of how promas did it went down to 160 then went to 190 some of these cards will just get too low and they will bounce back because they're rare and they look cool so keep that in mind as well if a card becomes no longer live today because their team lost keep that in mind for all of these I think you will see some rebound on them after they reach a low point per se after all the panic selling happens because if these guys lose the panic selling is ridiculous because of course people in the game know that they are no longer live items so definitely keeping on these cards are going to be very profitable they're going to be fluctuating a lot and of course with this new promo coming too we're going to have to keep an eye and see what EA does with that and how if there's any panic selling on cards like these road to the finals too that's I'm going to be really watch these cards weekend 100% so if that helped you at all a lot of information about road to the finals that's why I wanted to make it a separate video but if that helped it all smash the thumbs up on a comment down below if you have any questions and subscribe if you're new it's been Nathan Foot account and I'll catch you later peace out


too many people. The term overpopulation refers to a situation in which the earth's resources cannot be replenished each year to meet the demands of the world's population. Because according to the experts, this has been the case every year since 1970 with each year getting increasingly destructive. So we need to understand what's causing overpopulation and overconsumption as well as how these trends are affecting everything from climate change to socio-political turmoil. If we want to understand this in an easy way, why is overpopulation creating challenges? We are not limited to any specific area of overpopulation. In fact, if we look at the number of overpopulation, there are a lot of questions that are being raised, especially the environmental challenges that are being created and also the socio-political turmoil that is coming in the world. Because for every government, it is very difficult for them to determine how they should be responsible for their daily needs and their living standards. People count every single thing that the level of living that they have compared with the world, with their hearts. So the faster overpopulation is going on, maintaining all these standards is not just for people but also for governments. So we can say that the rate of population that is increasing or decreasing in a given year due to natural increase and net migration expressed as a percentage of the base population. The number of people in the world is very high but if we look at some of the places in comparison, the number of people is decreasing in terms of population. There is an example in front of us of Japan where the number of people in the world is not as much as the number of people in the world. The age of the people is so high that they are overpopulated in the last part of their age. So those people who were first productive, now they are dependent on the state and the system. So obviously for that country, a problem is being created that the number of Jews is decreasing, the energy is decreasing in the population. There is an example in front of us of Canada and New Zealand. These are the countries where the number of people is decreasing and their land is higher. So they want to bring people from outside to settle so that their land is utilised. So that is why we can say that the number of people in the world is problematic. There are some areas where the number of people in the world is becoming a problem for those countries. Similarly, a very important study of the principles of population contact where the author worked on this philosophy that what is the relationship between economic development and population growth? Because he thought that the faster the population is growing, the faster food production is going on. Then why is it so fast? If people are not planning for food, if people are not working properly for food production, then the majority of the population there, the chances of getting there are more because if people do not get proper food production, then people are not going to get there. So, the basic need is for the population to not be fulfilled. Then, it can be said that there are some basic points through which we can understand the problems of the majority. The basic point is what is the birth rate? Then the second point is what is the death rate? Then, along with that, what is the concept of the population? Is there more migration in the countries? Or is there more migration trend in the other side of the country? Now, the balance of all these determinants is important because if there is a balance, if there is a continuous link between birth, death, migration, link, all these things are under control, then even if the population is growing there, it will not be problematic. But if there is no difference between them, then the birth rate is very high, death is controlled, this does not mean that death should be higher, but if the death rate is very high for some reason, on the one hand, if the population is very rich and the population does not grow, and the death rate is also high, then the countries should revise their policies. But too many people, in every case, they are creating challenges not only for their government but as well as for their systems too. And specifically at the global level, for the climate purposes, climate concerns, too many people are creating challenges for the environmental situation of the earth, definitely they are creating.


This triggers the narcissist. A lot of people don't recognize this But the truth is that a lot of times the power is in the victim's hands Because you are unknowingly triggering the narcissist You are unknowingly causing them distress By a browsing feelings or memories that are associated with their past traumatic experiences and By doing that you are causing certain events or situations to happen or exist But a lot of times you are doing this unintentionally And it is not happening as a direct result of something you have said or done Because narcissists interpret things very differently They have a post-traumatic stress response So their actions of behaviors are a response to their traumas But they don't self-reflect or self-loathe like normal people do They do feel worthless and adequate and incompetent But they don't want to reflect on those feelings or try to do better Because they feel like it's a losing battle that they're never going to win So instead they try to trigger you by deflecting their unhealed traumas onto you and watching you go through it Which they use as a form of self-medication to regulate their emotions So that they can feel a little bit better about themselves at that moment Which is why you do need to be very careful Because any little thing could set them off to where they want to lash out at you And you will have noticed this whenever you questioned or confronted them on something Whenever you threatened the illusion or the false character Whenever you caught them doing something wrong Because that will make them very mad.  They will make false accusations against you Because they're already fully aware that they do a lot of things incorrectly They already know that they're responsible. They know they've made mistakes They just don't want to think about it So instead they will deflect it onto you and they will bring up things from the past Or they will blame someone else Because it will set them off It will make them go insane They will become very anxious to challenge or avoid criticism They will become self-justifying as they try to protect and defend the illusion of their false self Because it's a response to their childhood trauma So it puts them in fight or flight and now they're coming after you and it may seem as though they've developed these exceptional and Extraordinary powers and abilities this expertise and skillfulness Where they're super fast and super strong When the entire time that you were with them, they couldn't lift a finger They couldn't even make the slightest effort to help you But now they're going out of their way to take you down They're pulling out all the stops. They're making a great effort and on a grand scale And you may think that if only they did this with you in the beginning You could have had something real you could have developed something incredible But you have to remember that they're only doing this for themselves They're not doing it to build something with you over than anyone else It's intended to keep them alive By protecting and defending their false image Which is why they won't have that same energy towards seeing you at risk of danger or harm. They won't have those same instincts Because that's only for themselves That's just to protect the illusion and when they're ready to go. They're ready to go Their heart beats faster. They become more sensitive and aware But this is just to protect the illusion It's not to protect or save something valuable or important It's just to protect themselves from being exposed And it's actually self-destructive It disables them. It stunts their growth, which is why whenever they feel threatened or triggered They attack Even though you may not have even intended to do anything wrong But something you said or did triggered this part of their brain to become activated or engaged And it's always their emotions They're never thinking logically Which is why their behavior is so out of control There's no order or structure. It's just constant chaos and destruction because they're very damaged people And they're unable to heal themselves So all they can do is express this damage outwardly by inflicting pain, suffering and misfortune upon you Even though it really had nothing to do with you Because these triggers were there long before you came on the scene These were things that they developed in their childhoods Well a lot of the things that happened to you were recent and the result of their actions and incommedency Where they were deliberately intended to harm you but you will know when they're triggered Because they're going to lash out at you and they may do it overtly or it may be something more under the radar They may insult you and put you down Or they may stalk you behind the scenes But either way it's designed to produce the same effects. They're trying to deflect their pain and trauma onto you Which is why if you try to expose them, they will feel triggered even if you didn't intend to expose them Which is why it can be very difficult to negotiate with them because their feelings are always involved And they will always be trying to protect and defend their false image Which is why at times you can't even communicate with them because unlike a normal person They're not looking to get a resolution Because they enjoy the process of manipulating you and making you feel uncomfortable and the last thing they want is to be held accountable for their actions They don't want to change or grow They want to stay the same They're not looking to be better So if you try to hold them accountable, they will try to find a way out of it because they're trying to move away from the pain So they will lie or they will deny it They will project and deflect They will not let you hold them accountable for their actions a lot of things trigger narcissists But what they really hate is when they see you get an attention When they see other people regarding he was interested or important Especially if it's in their presence Which is ironic because if there's one thing they don't want to do it's given attention where it is deserved They hate to see people as being interesting or important Even though it may be the case because they're selfish They want all of the attention for themselves They want everything to be coming to them And they don't want to have to give anything to anyone Because they're very insecure and they have low self-esteem So they don't even have anything to give They can't even give you a compliment Which is quite funny when you think about it Because you will always feel like you're walking on eggshells when you're around them Where you have to be extremely cautious about your words and actions Where you have to be very careful not to offend or upset them But they will always try to twist it around on you Because they're fully aware of everything they've done to you Because then they can feel more comfortable in comparison If you're always on edge But the irony is that they're often slighted by things that are of their own doing and making Things that they create themselves They will often identify with things that have nothing to do with them Things that were never meant to mean anything to them But they will make it about them because they're completely delusional And they think they're very important So it could just be something they invented inside their heads Where they just assumed that it had something to do with them Because they always have to be in control And they're terrified of people no longer being in their favor or not supporting them They're terrified of people doing things that they don't want them to do They're terrified of situations developing that are outside of their control Because they're very insecure and they're fully aware that their reality is false So the last thing they want is for things to develop naturally Because that would expose them Which is why they have to be in direct opposition with anything that is true or real Because that's the only way that they can get their way And they constantly need to get their way They're like big babies They always need their arses wiped and their nappies changed Because otherwise they'll get a rash and they'll throw a temper tantrum They'll act and do things without careful consideration of the possible consequences They'll act recklessly and impulsively They'll act quickly without thought or care They'll move forcefully and rapidly And with insufficient consideration Because they've got a rash They feel irritated and they're trying to distract themselves from it By focusing on you or something else But whatever it is you can always be sure that it's coming from within them Because a lot of times it's like they don't even see you They have these tantrums that are always about themselves These hour long monologues These disastrous breakdowns about nothing that has actually anything to do with you This loss of control over their own emotions And it's like an itch they can't scratch Because they have these insatiable desires And yet they can't be satisfied Because they're dependent on other people to fulfill them When that feeling of sustenance and support is meant to come from within And it's why they're so easily triggered It's not because of anything you've said or done to them Although at times that may be a byproduct Or it may be a thing that activates something that is already there But these things were already ingrained in them a long time ago When they failed to take back control of themselves following an episode or trauma Instead they made a decision to give other people power over them By dependent on them to regulate their emotions Because they assumed that they were incapable of doing it themselves Which is why they bullied you It's why they stalk and harass you It's why they start smear campaigns and enforce blind monkeys It's why they need other people to be on their side And it's why if they don't have these things they will throw a tantrum Because they're not getting their way And these feelings that they have are more important to them than the actual truth Because their feelings become the truth Which is why they will even make up lies about you or steal from you And if they're ever confronted they will deny it Because they have this itch, this rash Which is more important to them It defies all logic in their minds It makes them go against the grain It makes them want to be a distraction and then inconvenience to you Because then it distracts them And it can be very difficult to deal with this Because any little thing could set them off Even this video is a trigger Even the person that you are is a trigger Your mere existence Your mere existence Which is why they will try to destroy you It's why they created this world It's why they created a false character for you It's designed to protect and defend themselves from being constantly triggered And it is an incredible piece of work It's like a magnificent piece of art That has been carefully constructed with great power And it is an incredible piece of work It's like a magnificent piece of art That has been carefully constructed with great enthusiasm and attention But it's also aware of lies and deception and they know it Which is why they're so protective of it It's why they have to brainwash you And convince you into believing things that are not true It's why they're deliberately showing you that they're able to do things that get away with it So that it leaves you unable to move or act Until you feel completely beyond optimism or hope And you feel like you're unable to defend yourself or act with a hope Because this is just what they have to do to sustain the illusion They have to drain your physical energy And undermine your sense of self-worth They have to gaslight, manipulate and use emotionally controlling tactics to diminish you And they have to automatically become like rapists Where they're forcing you to do things that you don't willingly want to do Because that's the only way they're going to have any control over you It's the only way they're going to be able to sustain the illusion But you can turn this around By going in the opposite direction instead of resisting Because you were built like this from the very beginning You were programmed to be this way from day one And they're already aware of it They sense it Which is why they try to tempt you into doing things that are unwise or foolish Because they already know that you're going to resist And then you will be handing your power over to them Which is exactly what they want because they want you to hold out They want you to refuse or accept to be changed by them And it's why the last thing they want is for you to change the dynamic By accepting it and letting it go Because then that would give you power over them And it's the fear that gives them power over you Which is why you just have to feel the fear and do it anyway Because when you do that you will free yourself And you will be able to develop your own identity and sense of self And you can put in some healthy boundaries And you will be able to develop your own identity and sense of self Because that will allow you to heal And it will also protect you Because by you taking your power back It will trigger their narcissistic rage And it will make them want to trigger you So that they can switch around the power dynamic And their role of interacting with you to influence you But there needs to be boundaries in place And you need to draw a line between what you will and will not tolerate Because some things may not be okay for you But of course this will trigger them as well They will be rash, they will throw a temper tantrum They will try to guilt and shame you But you just have to remain strong Because they will try to break you down But you can still hold the power By deciding to not give in to it And by presenting your argument to justify your decision But not by defending yourself Because when you do that you've just given them your power Which they will only misuse because they were never meant to have power It's like giving a gun to a two year old child They may only try to terrorize you Because they're emotionally underdeveloped and they haven't lived empathy yet So you just have to let them have their moment Let them feel special Be aware that you may be resisting And how that may be causing you to give your power over to them And recognize that you can still maintain healthy boundaries To protect yourself and your weight of thinking They're not going to like that of course because they want to break you But you can still choose to stand strong by recognizing your power over them Because people don't build a carefully constructed illusion for nothing They don't try to contain something that isn't worth anything But at the same time it doesn't really have anything to do with you So don't let it get to your head Recognize that they're just insecure Validate yourself And continue along your journey to greatness and success Thank you for watching If you found this video helpful please give

When he talks about Rajab, he says, لا يقاربه شيء من الشهور. There is no other month that comes close to the حرمة and the فضل in the Allah that is available in this month, to the sanctity and to the glory with Allah, Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. وكان أهل الجاهلية. يعظمونه في جاهليةهم. And the جهلاء, he says, used to honor this month in their جاهلية. فلما جاء الإسلام. But when Islam came, لم يزدد إلا تعظيما وفضلة. All Islam did was add to the greatness and to the merits of this month. And so you see that in this particular month, the smallest act goes a long way. It's kind of like, you know, it's kind of like overtime. You know what I mean? Like if you work an hourly job and you get paid, let's say, 20 bucks an hour, when you work overtime, you're getting paid 30 bucks an hour, right? Time and a half, you get a little bit of a push. Rajab is that push, you know? The same act that you would do in another month would get you maybe two steps closer to God. But in this month, by doing these same actions, we would get 10 steps closer to Allah, Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. For no other reason than God is merciful, yeah? And so there are many things that you and I can engage in in this month. For example, it is mustahab to take out ghusal, okay? There is a hadith from our Prophet, Peace and Blessings, be upon him and his family, where he's reported to have said, man adhra ka shahra rajabin, fagh tasala fi awwaliha wa awsatiha wa akhirihi, kharaja min zunubihi kayawma walad tu'umuhu, Subhanallah. He says, one who enters the month of rajab and does a ghusal on the first of rajab and in the middle of rajab and on the last of rajab, will have their sins washed away as if they were a newly born child, he says. Simple, we got nothing to lose. Yeah, we got nothing to lose. If you haven't done ghusal this evening, go home or tomorrow morning, tomorrow's also the first of rajab, take out ghusal. We have absolutely nothing to lose and keep the niyah, insha'Allah, that you will do ghusal on the 15th as well and towards the last part of rajab. Something else we can do is fast, right? The fasting in this month, there's a lengthy, lengthy tradition in which there is a reward that is mentioned for every fast one does in the month of rajab. But just to give an idea or a glimpse, again, this hadith is from our Seventy Imam, alaihi salam, where he says, rajabun shahrun azeem, yuza'ifu allahu fi hil hasanaat wa yamhoofi his sayyiat. He says, rajab is a great month with Allah in which your hasanaat, your actions, your good deeds are doubled or yuza'if multiplied.  Mansama yawman min rajabin, tabaadat anhu naar masirat asanaat. He says, one who fasts, one fast in the month of rajab, they will be distanced from the fire of Jahannam by the distance of one year. Whatever distance is covered in one year. So at that time, subhanAllah, that time you'd travel by like a camel. And today you'd travel by a plane. And so whatever distance you can cover by a plane, you can ask for that from Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala because that is the promise that you would be distanced away from that. And he continues, And one who fasts three days in the month of rajab, Allah would promise them Jannah. All we have to do is not ruin it. You know, that's the thing, right? All of these things are promised to us. One who does this gets this. One who goes here gets this. Because Allah is not trying to lie to us. Allah is not a salesperson, you know what I mean? Who tries to trick you into getting extra purchases, right? Allah is promising us these things. And when Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala promises us these things, as long as we don't ruin it ourselves, we will get these things from Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala because that's the promise that he has made. So a couple of simple things you and I could do. We take out ghusl. We fast. I know fasting is not easy, right? But we fast because there's a promise awaiting. And eventually our niyat of fasting will change to where we don't want anything from God. We just do it because God loves those who fast, right? So eventually it will change to that, insha'Allah. Other things that you and I could do as much istighfar as possible, yeah? As much istighfar, right? Because this is the month in which Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala yamkhul sayyiat.  So remember your evil deeds and pray to Allah too, forgive you. Take out sadaqah, right? There's many hadith in this month that talk about the importance of sadaqah. To take out sadaqah every single day in this month. Now, we can make it a bit simpler, right? So for example, if I want to take out a dollar a day and there's a possibility that I may forget, give 30 dollars of sadaqah tomorrow. Tomorrow's Friday. It's a good day to give sadaqah anyways. But make the niyat that ya Allah, this is a dollar a day for the entire month of Rajab because you love those who give sadaqah, yeah? Whatever the amount you can afford. But make niyat to the best of your ability that this is sadaqah for the entire month of Rajab and inshallah it will be counted for you as if you gave every single day. Recite as much of the Quran as you can in this month. Of course, for those who go for ziyarat and umrah, there is nothing like the ziyarat and the umrah of Rajab. And most importantly, right? We have to use this month as a training opportunity for the month of Ramadan. Yeah? All of these things, if you think about that are recommended here, where we give sadaqah so that others can benefit. We do istaghfar. We recite the holy Quran, we fast. All of these things are gearing us towards the month of Ramadan. And this is, I think, something that we need to focus on. You know, you never get an athlete who would enter a tournament without preparing for that tournament. Yeah? Every sports have a pre-season, they have workouts, they have all of these things, why? To get that athlete in the prime shape so that they can accomplish and have most success. It's only us, you know, who wake up first of Ramadan and say, I'm ready. It doesn't work that way, man. It really doesn't work that way. That's why we're so sluggish for the first 10 days of Ramadan, right? Can't even think of food only, falling asleep at work, because we didn't do any prep work. But if we did some prep work, all that sluggishness would come out right now. And when we come into the month of Ramadan, we would go running towards Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala.


Hello everyone welcome back to another session on dentistry and mode So in oral pathology so far we finished Important syndromes and important tumors now we are moving on to important sis so we have radical assist our endosyphonic keratocyst and Dentistry assist and these three are the most important ones for university exam So let's get into the details of radical assist So cyst is a pathological fluid filled cavity lined by an epithelium So cyst is always a well circumscribed lesion which has a clear boundaries That is a epithelial lining will be there So it has three components basically lumen wall and epithelial lining. This is the lumen innermost Which is innermost cavity which is having fluid And immediate to that lumen there will be lining and the outermost covering is capsule It's also known as wall. So these are the three components of cyst Now we are moving on to the classification We have basically two types one is Orendogenic and non-ordendogenic from the name itself we get the idea This is truth related. This is not truth related tissues are the origin cause of origin So orendogenic we have again two types developmental and inflammatory Okay, inflammatory is a cause of inflammation is resulting in cyst and developmental is default developmental problems or developmental process or resulting in a cyst formation So in developmental cyst we have orendogenic keratocyst, dentistry or follicular cyst Eruption cyst, lateral periodontal cyst, gingival cyst of infants. These are the developmental cysts in oral cavity In inflammatory cyst the most common one is radical cyst Which is having three types apical lateral and residual And another inflammatory cyst is paradental cyst in non-ordendogenic We have naso palatine dexist and naso label cyst. It's not particularly truth related So radical cyst is Is orendogenic cyst which is derived from cell rest of molasses Which proliferates in response to inflammation. So radical cyst is seen at the root tip So when keris occurs it is not treated it goes to the tip of root And it causes inflammation and it is becoming a cyst. That is the idea of radical cyst So it is In response to inflammation. So which is also known as apical paradontal cyst peri apical cyst or root end cyst So we have three basic types of radical cyst apical lateral and residual Apical and lateral is based on the relative position Of cyst with respect to the root. This is at the tip I was just circumscribing the tip exactly lateral cyst is not circumscribing the tip or apical foramen Which is uh more of a lateral side of it root Residual cyst actually there is no tooth which is uh originating from a residues of No remnants of a tooth And the most common location of radical cyst is maxillary anterior region then maxillary posterior Then mandibular posterior and mandibular anterior most common is maxillary anterior and least common is mandibular anterior So that is a radical cyst basic cyst classification and location about radical cyst So moving on to the epidemiology of radical cyst it is uh One of the most common cysts of a jaw that is 60 to 70 percentage of cysts are radical or peri apical cyst And it is most commonly seen between 20 to 60 years and it's very rare less than 10 years maxilla is more affected as because Porosity of maxillary bone is more favorable for cystic formation Compared to the mandibular one three is two one ratio that is three times more lesions are found in maxilla And it is a male predilection cyst with three is to two ratio compared to the females In clinical features, it is asymptomatic and slowly progressive But if infection enters the swelling becomes painful and rapidly expanding Otherwise, it is asymptomatic and a slowly progressive one The initial swelling is round and hard But later what happens is the part of wall is resolved leaving a soft flexure and swelling And blue is in color So initial it is very round and a hard structure But as the lesion expands the part of wall is resolved leaving a soft flexure and swelling So when bone has been reduced to egg shell cracking A crackling sensation may be felt on pressure So it will be reduced to egg shell cracking. There will be a crackling sensation When applying pressure So this is a important sequence of events how the radicular or peri apical cyst is formed So it starts with the cause that is either carries trauma, pulpal necrosis or periodontalysis And it leads to peri apical inflammation So once the inflammation starts it slowly develops and becoming peri apical granuloma That is granulation, tissue, scar or inflammatory cells will be there Which provide rich vascular area to rest of molasses And rest of molasses proliferate Which is forming a large mass of cell Then what happens? Then the inner cells of this mass deprived of nourishment So the inner cell will be deprived of nourishment Which undergo liquefaction necrosis Formation of a cavity in the center of granuloma And ultimately result with a proper epithelial line cavity Which is radicular or peri apical cyst Cyst wall separates from bone due to the pulpal irritation So how it starts? It starts with carries trauma, necrosis or periodontalysis That is the cause Inflammation, peri apical granuloma Then cell rest of molasses It proliferates It becoming a large mass Then inner mass deprived of nourishment It undergo liquefaction necrosis And formation of a cavity So that is the pathogenesis of radicular cyst So how do we diagnose radicular cyst? We can use a combination of radiographs And vitality test We can do a vitality test mostly It will be a non vital tooth And radiographic appearances are most conclusive evidence We will easily understand a periapical cyst from a radiograph So in clinical findings, the signs and symptoms The smaller cysts do not usually become acutely infected But the larger cysts, there will be expansion of bone Displacement of tooth root And crepitus on palpation of alveolar bone And negative responses will be there on pulp testing And the regional lymph nodes will be affected Moving on to the radiographic features That is most commonly identical to periapical granuloma There will be a radio opaque line around the periphery of Radiolucent area So this cyst will be a radiolucent area But that will be Covered or surrounded by a radio opaque line So mostly it will be a avoid or round radiolucency With a radio opaque line at the borders Mostly it will be less than 1.5 centimeter diameter And it will be a well circumscribed lesion So the differential diagnosis can be periapical granuloma Or endogenic tumors and giant solutions So treatment options are most commonly we should do Root canal filling Then extraction is also needed in few cases Extraction of non-vital tooth and curatage of the apical zone If it is very much infected Root canal filling with episectomy And if it is not properly done there is chance for residual cyst So severe condition we need to go for Enucleation or marsupialization So that's all about radical assist It is the most common cyst One of the common cysts And cyst and tumors are different So this is the first cyst in our segment The next one is dentiture assist And odendogenic keratocyst also coming up So I'll come up with dentiture assist in my next session Thank you Hello everyone, welcome back to a new session on dentistry and more Today's topic is dentiture assist So last class we have seen radical assist or periapical cyst The second most common cyst after the radical assist is dentiture assist So let's see the details of dentiture assist Dentiture assist, the name itself gives an idea about its origin That is denti gerus Gerus means a germinal So dental tooth forming cells associated with assist Is known as dentiture assist Exactly the enamel epithelium We know reduced enamel epithelium Which is the outermost covering when the tooth irreps into the oral cavity So some malformation or some improper reaction happening With the reduced enamel epithelium creating assist Which is known as dentiture assist Which is the second most common cyst after radical or periapical cyst That is the ordendogenic cyst It is also known as follicular assist Because it creates a follicle above the tooth crown So it is also known as a follicular assist So usually these type of patients comes to the clinic With a swelling and an unerupted tooth So there is a swelling associated with unerupted tooth So you might keep a differential diagnosis of dentiture assist So that is a common symptom associated with this So we will begin with There is an enclosure of part or all of the unerupted tooth in dentiture assist So a part or hole of the tooth just like this This is a hole of the tooth or part of the tooth is enclosed by the cyst So there is fluid accumulation between the reduced enamel epithelium And the enamel surface of unerupted or impacted tooth So tooth is there So as the tooth erupts into the oral cavity This reduced enamel epithelium supposed to move away But what happens is there is some reaction happening Fluid is getting accumulated between this tooth crown that is enamel And the reduced enamel epithelium And creating assist that is a fluid accumulation So it is basically from dental follicle Moving on to the clinical features It is most commonly seen between first, second and third decade There is no gender predilection It is commonly seen equally distributed Males and females are equally affected But it is most commonly mantibular areas are affected Compared to maxilla 70 percentage cases are reported in mantibule Compared to the maxilla where it is 30 percentage So the mantibule it is most commonly the ankle of mantibule Then canine regions So maxillary and mantibular canine regions are affected After that maxillary third molar area So the most common site is ankle of mantibule And least common site is maxillary third molar area It is usually a painless condition or a painless cyst But it become painful when there is a secondary infection And it is an aggressive solution It grows in an aggressive nature There will be bone expansion and facial asymmetry Because it is affecting mostly the mantibular posterior region Tooth remain uninterrupted That is the thing because it is the cyst is over the tooth crown Connecting the cemento enamel junctions are a part of tooth So tooth will be most of the time uninterrupted So how this happening pathogenesis So first there will be cystic changes in the remnants of enamel organ So it encloses the crown of an uninterrupted tooth Which is attached to cemento enamel junction So what happens there is expansion of follicle When fluid collects or the space is created between The reduced enamel epithelium surrounding a developing tooth Which degenerates So when erupting tooth compress the tooth follicle Which obstructs venous outflow Which induces serum to cross through the capillary walls That is the process which is happening So it is a very simple process Tooth irreps into the oral cavity So when tooth irreps this reduced enamel epithelium should move away And the tooth irreps But what happens here Here the tooth with reduced enamel epithelium is not moving away Collection of fluid is happening between this reduced enamel epithelium And the developing tooth So there will be expansion of this follicle And fluid will be collected between the space And later cystic changes happening And it becomes a proper cyst In radiographic features it will be Just like any cyst well defined radiolusin area It can be uni or multi-locular It covers entire crown of uninterrupted tooth And in radiographic way it expands Three direction one is It can be circumferential or lateral or coronal So these three types of growth can happen Or it can be seen in radiographic feature It is not easy to see these three ways of expansion in a clinical setup So we need to make this more clearer by using a radiograph In histologic features There is a cystic lining Which is composed of reduced enamel epithelium And there will be occasional caracanization By metaplesia And inflammatory cells Chronic inflammatory cells will be there If it is infected So that is about histologic features And we can do investigation Using OPG and CT scan IOPA can be taken And biopsy should be taken to get a clear picture about this Dentiture assist And treatment options we have Enucleation, masopilization Or a combination of enucleation and masopilization And also a curatage associated with enucleation Also can be performed Dentiture assist Treatment Modality So that is all about dentiture assist or follicular assist So let us see the OKC that is Orendogenic keratocyst in the next session Thank you Hello everyone Welcome back to a new session on dentistry and more Today we have Orendogenic keratocyst or OKC to learn So we covered radical assist and dentiture assist in our last session So the third one is Orendogenic keratocyst It is a benign Which is not very common one And which is a locally aggressive type of cyst Now let us get into the details of OKC As the name suggests it is a tooth related cyst And which has a keratin deposition That is why it has Orendogenic keratocyst It is originated from dental lamina Remnants in mantibul and maxilla Or it could be extension of basal cells of overlying epithelium So either dental lamina it forms from dental lamina Or from the basal cell of overlying epithelium Moving on to the histopathology The epithelium lining is uniform lithium May be 8 to 10 cell is The basal layer is palisaded Nuclear is polarized and intensely stained Luminous cells has parachartinized and corrugated profile And there will be micro cyst formation So uniform epithelium lining palisaded basal layer Polarized and highly stained nuclei Parachartinized and corrugated Luminous epithelial cells and micro cyst formation In clinical features It commonly seen in second to third decade Or it can affect to any age group especially adults people And mantibular molar area That is a posterior border is most commonly affected Well coming to the radiographic features It has smooth oval shape And the cortical border If a cortical border is well defined If not secondarily infected And this radiolucinations In some cases there will be multi-locular appearances Mostly it will be radiolucinations Some cases there will be the bone septa Will be giving a multi-locular appearances And there will be keratin presence in the cyst So that is why it is getting keratocyst name So what is the effect on surrounding structures? So when it grows along the internal aspect of joe With minimal expansion But sometimes upper ramus and coronoid process It shows expansion And it displaces and resorb teeth with But the degree of displacement and resorption is not as severe as dentistry cyst So dentistry cyst the displacement and resorption Of the adjacent is more compared to the okc Inferior alveolar canal may be displaced inferiorly Because of the compression or the pressure it applies And it occupies the maxillary andrum If it affects the maxillary If the cyst is in the maxillary region It occupies the maxillary andrum region Most commonly the differential diagnosis is Dentistry cyst amyloblastoma or odendogenic mixoma Treatment can be done using wide surgical accession to avoid recurrence Or masopilization also can be applied So odendogenic keratocyst is not very detailed one It is a benign rare cyst which is locally aggressive Seen in the posterior mantibular area most commonly And which has keratin deposits in the cyst So that's all about okc or odendogenic keratocyst I'll come up with a new topic in oral pathology Thank you


llet pointing, there is a decline in private enforcement because of forced arbitration because of this intentional rise. Right now, over 50% of workers are covered by these forced arbitration clauses. A recent report put out by EPI, shout out to EPI in CPD. The forecast there is over in, within the next five years, 80% of workers are gonna be covered by these forced arbitration clauses. So now workers aren't gonna be able to have access to the courts. So what do you do? Public enforcement. There is a decline in public enforcement. Public enforcement agencies do not have the funds. Some argue that it's intentional in order to be able to address workers' rights violations. So you're left with issues on the public enforcement side and the private enforcement side. And the additional issue around preemption, which a number of us have been talking about working on, because I mean, the forced arbitration is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, which I mean something that they completely don't talk about within the Supreme Court is the fact that the Federal Arbitration Act was supposed to govern relationships between corporations. Those are the ones who are supposed to be arbitring, not an individual and a corporation. So they just kind of like hopped up and skip over that and just say, oh, it's for everybody. So because of the preemption issue, you have to think very carefully about how you're gonna legislate to address forced arbitration. So CPD has been working in six states with whistleblower enforcement policies to address the forced arbitration crisis. So someone, I think Sharon had mentioned the idea of a national PAGA and some people know this acronym others don't. So what PAGA stands for is the Private Attorney General Act. And so that kind of legislation currently exists in California and has existed for the last 15 years. What that kind of legislation allows is for a worker to sue in the shoes of the state. On behalf of other workers, so they're able to have access to the court, they're able to access the court collectively, and they're able to address company-wide violations. So we're working in New York, Vermont, Maine, Massachusetts, Oregon and Washington to pass this kind of legislation. And this would give workers again the opportunity to access the court collectively and actually just have leverage. Quick story, the only story I'll tell here is just, before focusing on policy work, I represented low-wage workers in federal court cases. And I would successfully settle my cases and I had colleagues asking me, how are you successfully settling these cases? What is happening in your negotiations with corporate counsel?  Ms. Nicholas, this is highly unorthodox. They'd be really upset with me. I'd get these phone calls from them. They would say they weren't used to this kind of interaction. And my secret was that I made litigation incredibly expensive for them. They didn't care about the morality of what was happening. They didn't care about the fact that they weren't supposed to be discriminating, harassing or stealing from my clients. What they cared about was how expensive it was gonna be. So once you hit their bottom line, the money, that's what motivates them. So essentially with this kind of legislation, when you have workers acting collectively, it makes things hella expensive for corporations and they don't like that. So that's what's gonna change what they're doing, at least in part, in addition to public shame and collective worker rights. And that was a story worth telling. I am gonna ask Smiley to close this out and talk to us about on the ground, where is the most enthusiasm? What is capturing the attention of workers? Where are they the most engaged and what are the things you're most excited about? In four minutes or less? In four minutes or less, right, of course. You tell the Southerner to be brief, that's good luck. Okay, I'm gonna do my best. I really appreciate some of the last story that she shared as well is because I think that for us, where things are most exciting, it's not so much about the policies themselves, although we are excited about many of them, but about this need for organization. And like Marcela said, and even in the example that she shared about the United Worker Center in New Mexico, organization is always our best enforcement, whether it's a union, whether it's a group of worker councils in Santa Fe, a worker center somewhere, like that's gonna be our best enforcement to get these folks to act right into the table. And so of course, like a couple years ago, there was a report that came out from the chamber, many of you will remember, attacking worker centers and saying that they were unions. And of course they were doing this, not because they wanted to empower more people to join unions, they were doing this because they wanted to limit the activities of worker centers who were having some success. And so if that's the case, then one, we really have to actually fix labor law so that unionization isn't seen as like a limiting thing that corporations can do to people. But two, there were two responses that many worker centers had. One was, and rightfully so, right, because this was attacking their C3 status, to say, we're not union, we're not union, we're this different thing. But then there's this other response that actually leaned into it and was like, okay, well, fine. We're creating models for 21st century unionism and we should have these protections. That's actually what, this is what it looks like here. This is what it looks like in Santa Fe. It's what it looks like in Greensboro, North Carolina. So in a way, part of the examples and case studies that are exciting me in this moment are actually examples that give people a practice of coming together collectively to negotiate with capital, whatever that looks like. And because in many places, if you say, you've got the right to join a union, there's like blank stares, people are scared, they don't wanna talk to you, they start looking around to see who's listening, right? Like there's a taboo, particularly in southern states like where I'm from. When in fact, when you say, you should actually be able to govern and make decisions over these things, they very clearly listen, they agree, right? And so some of the examples include at the local level, looking at a company like Amazon or any other e-commerce company, and instead of treating them just as an employer to be organized, although we wanna support any union that does that, wanting to look at the worker and consumer base in any geographic market to say, how are we regulating this company, which is clearly creating more, acting more like a public utility. It's creating the highway for businesses to get to their consumer base. That's no longer a company. That is a railroad, that is a highway. And so what would it look like for individuals to form a new kind of bargaining unit and that type of labor market to negotiate over how a company like that can behave in a particular region? Those are really exciting. And at a similar level, or at a smaller scale, we've had some success with this in places like St. Louis before the elections, St. Louis had passed and increased the minimum wage, the state preempted it, not surprisingly, and they created almost a downtown bargaining unit of community leaders and workers that said to those corporations in that region that they had to, they were gonna keep it. They were gonna negotiate that they would keep the minimum wage regardless of preemption. Or in D.C., during the day without immigrants, where they organized solidarity squads in a particular labor market just to ensure that companies that people were gonna be walking out of wouldn't retaliate for them actually walking out for that particular activity in a way laying the groundwork for future negotiations around civic engagement and being able to protect civic engagement and prevent retaliation against civic engagement. Now, whether or not we think these contracts are strong, certainly they aren't necessarily as legally supported as a collective bargaining agreement which is the most powerful agreement we can have, but what they do is actually give people the experience of practicing this thing, this thing we call organizing collective bargaining because if they don't understand what it is, then when you come around to their job site and say we actually need to form a union here, they won't have the experience of it, right? And I really appreciated that part of your story, Marcello, when you were talking about how the experience of other workplace councils and allies coming out to support their action actually gives people a sense that when the retaliation or the injustice comes at their own site, they're now ready. They have an experience of what they can do. We used to do that when we picketed, or I shouldn't use the word picket, we would leaflet educationally outside of Walmarts in Massachusetts around minimum wage, or we would get on public transit and educate folks and build transit committees for riders and things like that, and that was actually how we built committees of retail workers at one point because they were on the bus. Now they were organized around a completely different thing. It was a community-based issue and yet we were getting them into a position where they were practicing this idea that they could have power, they could come together and negotiate with capital, and then when it came to their work site, they were ready, they had an experience of this. Last couple of things is just in terms of getting at this, what we call bargaining with the 1% or what Sharon was saying is kind of redefining the firm, redefining who actually benefits from our work, from our labor, who is profiting the most. And we've had a lot of success globally working with unions and non-union NGOs around the country who organized, around the world who organized workers. And what's interesting, and I wanna harken back to the question from the, I can't remember your name from National Women's Law Center, but- Soonu, what's that? Soonu. Soonu, I gotta meet you Soonu, can't wait. So one of the questions you raised, one of the things that really got people in a position to come together across border was this issue of gender-based violence. And what was interesting about it is that these companies who have been so, you know, deaf to the needs of workers on the floor were all of a sudden appalled, like did it, you know, American Eagles coming to the table with workers cross-country to talk through gender-based violence and what can we negotiate, what kind of, what does it look like to enforce? And they're using that then as a platform to organize and to actually form unions in places where they haven't had them before. Or likewise, the thing with the workers at Toys R Us recently, you have to give them props to actually show that we can drag hedge fund managers into this discussion, you can't just fire us, you're gonna actually have to pay us a legitimate claim. And so these are the types of experiments that when we're talking about the contract, when we're talking about redefining the firm, you know, that in many ways today looks like a migration corridor, right? The place where they're coming from the same town and the same country to come to the US at a certain time, like what does an agreement in that corridor look like that's not just about portable benefits but is an enforceable agreement with the company? Because they're operating that way, why aren't we operating that way? So those are a couple of examples and I just wanna underline that the current within them isn't so much that it's a new policy because workers will use any and every policy available to us to win, right? I mean, I think Lane was here earlier, Lane Wyndham's book, Knocking on Labor's Door. If you haven't read it, please do. It's one of the few labor history books that has multiple examples that are based in the South, which is rare. And it actually shows that people have been organizing, particularly women and people of color in the South and using things like the Civil Rights Act and other things in addition to labor law to try to leverage power in their communities. Likewise, today, when we talk about immigrant rights, we aren't just talking about some moralistic thing, that's important too, but we're talking about workers' rights, we're talking about protection against retaliation for people who have been brought to work. And so in a way, this is the type of thing that the policies have to serve the organizing. Like at the end of the day, the policies have to set us up to build workplace committees, marketplace committees, downtown neighborhood committees, tenant committees, whatever the committee is that allows people to both be in relationship with each other, to test this idea of what a bargaining unit is, and ultimately to practice democracy. Sorry. All right, what I would like to do is get three questions out before we give answers. I see the gentleman in the back, I see Paula here, one more person. Right there, that gentleman in the middle. If they could get them the microphones, if you could all ask your questions, and we'll try to see if we can answer them a bit together. The gentleman in the back first, Paula up here, right there. Paula, you're gonna go second, and then the gentleman in the back middle with the glasses, third. Yeah, Carl Polzer and I've been working a couple ways on the analytics side, exploring wealth concentration and income concentration, and then advocating for inclusion of low-wage workers in the economy. So I'm really fascinated by these workplace committees to follow the most recent comment. I'm not a labor lawyer, though. So I wondered, they seem to be empowering people without actually forming a union to exercise certain rights under federal law. So just on the technical side, how do they have standing? Is it the individual that has standing to go to the board, or does the committee have standing? Who else could have standing? And on the ground, do unions see this as a possible ally or is it as a competition? Could it be a mechanism where unions could pull their resources to kind of pre-negotiate? So those are my questions. Great, and while she's coming up here to give Paula the microphone, sir, I'm gonna ask you to make sure you meet my colleague Charlotte Noss, who's just right over there. Get one of her cards and talk to her because she specializes in this worker center issue and I think would have a lot of great feedback for you also, Paula. Paula Brantner, back in, I believe, 1998 when I was with the National Employment Lawyers Association, we did a series of focus groups on just cause and as Bob Scholl knows, about 10 years later, did some more focus groups and that's why we call it forced arbitration instead of mandatory binding arbitration. So, but when we talked to workers, we thought it was a no-brainer that this is something that workers would want and we found to our surprise that there was a lot of hostility towards it and I think it came from what I would call a scarcity mindset that workers thought it would make it too hard to fire bad workers and there was hostility amongst unions because, and again, the scarcity mindset, it would be like, well, if all workers have that, here's this unique thing that unions provide that won't be an incentive for people to organize anymore and so we didn't get very far with that but as we've discussed here today, we are getting places with both binding arbitration, forced arbitration and organizing around sexual harassment and those are issues that employment lawyers have known for decades have been major, major problems but I think employment lawyers are pretty crappy at organizing around it so my question is how do, whether it's unions or organizing groups like CPD and others get behind just cause in an effective way? Okay, and then the gentleman in the back? This question is in some ways for Sean but there's other folks in the panel I think could answer particularly well. I've been captivated by this idea of just causes the next labor standard we fight for for some time and I think there's many reasons you articulated why it's great I think the objections to it fail so I'm hoping that what you can articulate Sean and others is what do you think a national campaign would encompass to move towards this? You mentioned many in the Fair Labor Standards Act so far we have two examples on the local level so I think if you could articulate a vision for how this would be moved upon for organizers like me from a small service and hospitality workers organization what role that we can play and campaigners around the country can play to advances? I think it'd be helpful to hear people like you all. Thank you so we are very pressed for time cause there's an event here at one o'clock and EPI needs us out at 1230 so we can turn things over Thea is going to dismiss everybody much more graciously than that but I'm gonna be the bad guy and let you know that when we're done we're really done and we appreciate you leaving as much as we would love for you to be here all day and keep talking about this this is the first of many conversations to come but with that I would like each of my panelists to sort of close with if possible about 60 seconds of reflection that is either in direct response to a question or one more quick thing that you want to say and then we are going to turn this over to our gracious host Thea to say thank you I think what has changed since 1998 is that corporations are acting employers are acting with such impunity that everybody has horrible stories now that has happened to them a family member, a co-worker or they've heard stories cause social media has helped these stories get out so I'd love to see a focus group and see where workers are at I think their perspective has radically changed I think there is a real problem with unions embracing this as an issue and I'm not sure how to get there I'm saying let's put it on the table it should be one of the things that we're debating and discussing should it be our top priority I don't even take a position on that necessarily I actually think that where we want to get if 2021 looks like the kind of year that we're hoping for I think we want sort of an omnibus fair labor standards act amendment that is addressing a lot of things that corporations are doing or pushing for make workplaces fair again and I will just note that as we were discussing this with Mr. Ellison and his team last year the major unions were all at the table very constructively, very enthusiastically so there's not necessarily a dichotomy there there are certainly considerations to balance we don't want any sort of just cause standard to for example override a previously or future negotiated collective bargaining agreement but I think there's a broader recognition that again this is an issue whose time has come So I'll respond to the question from the gentleman in the back so you don't have to be a workers committee to enjoy the protections of the NLRA two or more workers come together and engage and protect a conservative activity and try to change their wages or conditions in the workplace they're protected against retaliation in that situation so obviously we want more workers usually we don't have workers committees of two we say you gotta get in there and you gotta recruit more people because there's more people that are involved in this the stronger your case will be so we actually they declare themselves as worksite committees and use a whole host of strategies to improve their wages and workplace conditions but they declare themselves very early on so that they do enjoy a little bit more than they already have job security so then the burden is on the employer to prove why they've retaliated against them or why they've fired them reduce their hours et cetera once they've formed the workers committee so they write everything is documented through writing so anytime any supervisor comes and says you guys are very problematic we're gonna get rid of you or we're gonna do X, Y and Z or they tell another worker they document it they create a really strong paper trail say you know and when they declare themselves these are the things that we just wanting to let you know that there are six of us or 10 of us or 12 of us or 20 of us that have decided to form a worksite committee and these are the things that we're interested in changing in our workplace we'd love to meet with you their employer could absolutely ignore them but often the employer gets upset and retaliates them against them or in many of our cases they've actually in some way shape or other negotiated with them for those conditions because they're so afraid that if they do retaliate and ignore them that they will be publicly shamed in our community so those are the rights that we have under the NLRA and no unions we'd love for unions and I've talked over the course of many years particularly in Santa Fe to figure out how we can start some campaigns in Santa Fe but they are not gonna organize restaurant workers or hotel workers in Santa Fe and so our public employee unions but they are happy to work with us in raising the floor for everyone and to have this incredible base of low wage workers supporting each other and unions. Smiley. Yeah, I'll try to put mine into three quick points and I really appreciate the discussion in the other panel of today so I've learned a ton myself. So the first thing I wanna say is that this current crisis we're feeling the struggle we've been feeling a lot of people and a lot of my people have been feeling this for a while. It's kind of like welcome, grab your bowl of top ramen and let's figure the strategy out, right? And so I wanna come back to making sure that we are building a movement that includes everyone that doesn't just fix or remedy things that a small percentage of the workforce have lost but actually build something that everyone can feel like they're a part of and can see themselves in. Secondly, I think that there was a question a little bit about the relationship to unions and worker centers and the other community groups and I think that it's actually really important in this moment for us to really recognize ourselves as one labor movement. Like it's not just unions and their allies and the community, that framework is done. It's over, I mean, we were founded on it in 1987. So it's just shaking us up too but it's just not real anymore because you've got on the one hand a union who may have locals in what's left of a formal part of a sector and you've got worker centers and community groups organizing those who are informally a part of that sector that the company is using or the sector is using to undermine the formal agreements that unions have made. Like until we actually are coming up with a shared strategy to negotiate with those sectors or those firms, we're losing. So this is a pivot point for us to actually see ourselves not as getting rid of unions but actually of building 21st century unions and a 21st century labor movement. And that said, I do think that when we put a viable strategy in front of workers that does that and that brings everybody in, right? Or at least leaves the door open, right? For everyone to see themselves as a part of it. Then I think we would be surprised by what people are willing to do. And despite all the talk about laws and policy and stuff that I wanna see passed and protections that I want, I'm also from a tradition that's very comfortable breaking rules when necessary. I mean, if my ancestors hadn't broken a free rules, I wouldn't be here, right? And so in a way, we actually are seeing this and again coming back to this, avoiding this dichotomy of blue states versus red states. When you look at the state map of West Virginia when the educators went out last year, the first counties that went out were deep red states. They were ready. They had an appetite when you started, when they started talking to them about what was at stake and what the issues were. And so in all of this, my last point is simply that we don't wanna underestimate the willingness and the resilience of everyday working people when we put a real strategy in front of them. All right, check back to follow. Is anybody can follow that on the list?  So there is this story of this conversation between Dr. Cornell West and President Obama. And Cornell West was coming out against President Obama for his stance on multiple policies, multiple issues, and publicly tweeting at him and saying how problematic President Obama was. So the two of them had this four hour meeting. They talked about their differences and when they came out of it, Cornell West talked about he was just like, you know what, that brother is in a different lane.  So they discussed the fact that they had similar goals but they had different ways of getting there. So there's mutual respect for that. And I think that that's part of what's needed in our movement to Smiley's points about the fact that we can come up with alignment and a shared strategy around a lot of this rather than the infighting. The economy of scarcity to address what you were saying earlier is part of the issue. Like people, I mean, the folks, organized money loves this, the fact that there's this infighting within the labor movement. And I don't believe it has to exist that way. There is a different way. And I think that that's part of what's being built. This shared alignment, organized strategy so that we can actually set up so that we can win. But the part of why I work at CPD is because I've seen them do that. They are able to work on the Toys R Us campaign and bring organized money to the table. They're able to make sure that Amazon is not in Long Island City. They're able to do all kinds of things, including forced arbitration, because they're looking for alignment with organizations that sometimes weren't in conversation with each other. But they said, let's get together, let's talk about it. You're in your lane, we're going to similar places and I respect where you are. And I think that's possible. And I think that's necessary because the threat that we're facing on multiple levels is essential for a lot of people. So it's something, it's like the time for infighting. I mean, I understand what happens, but I think what's needed is shared alignment, mutual respect. With that, let me just close with this remark. Those in the room who know me know that I am obsessed with Broadway musicals. Broadway in general, Broadway musicals in particular. So of course, Sunday night was like my night of the year, the Tony Awards. The woman who won Best Director for Musical noted that she was the only woman nominated for Director of Musical that year, and many years, and said, it's not a pipeline issue, it's a failure of imagination in a field where we are called on to be creative and imaginative. And it occurred to me that that is us as well. Who said it? Smiley, we are rule breakers by nature. None of us got into this field because we wanna just enforce the laws that already exist and we wanna stay within the norms that already exist. We got into this because we wanna create new norms. We have the creativity and the imagination in this community. And the only thing that is gonna stop us is our own selves, right? And how high we don't reach and how much we worry about scarcity instead of plenty. So I look forward to continuing this discussion with all of you, with your imagination at 100% with our creativity, with our belief and our knowledge that we don't need to be constrained by anything. So let me first thank this wonderful panel to turn everything back over to Thea for her closing remarks. Thank you. All right, so that was an awesome, awesome panel of rule breakers, deep thinkers, and organizers, exactly the kind of people we need to have in the room and at the table as we enter this next phase. So thanks to all of you for taking your morning and spending it with us. As Judy said, we are trying to turn the room over pretty quickly for another event at one o'clock so we appreciate your cooperation in helping us do that. So don't hang around, but go talk with folks outside and exchange cards and stay in touch. This is just the very beginning of a long and important conversation. Thanks so much for joining.
