Human history there's never been a moment where we've had mapping technology like this We're starting to see an entirely new kind of map a living map That lets you see the pulse of a city and lets people in real time Start sharing what's going on around them Capturing a story of a dynamic generation Today you can go on snapchat and look at the snap maps powered by map box And get a sense of what's happening right here and together start defining what's happening around you and Who you want to be? The power to make maps is The power to define a narrative today that power Belongs to all of us Today we are all map makers in through these maps We tell a powerful human story and now in our future story Our power to build human maps are going to use be used by machines at scale at this pivotal moment right when the Robots and automation start becoming a cool part of our world Look since the busy beginning of time we have been explorers in in our quest as humans has been to discover measure build worlds around us in the map The map has been the living document of humanity And now It's becoming live in real time So this is what makes slush special We're builders we're dreamers and and we're coming together To build a better world We we don't work with technology because it's the new new Right we we work with technology to leverage it to build a world that we want to see Look, I didn't start making Maps like this. I started monitoring deforestation in the Congo. I Started looking at floods Spread across Pakistan and satellite imagery trying to get an understanding of the amount of damage or where malaria Outbreaks were happening and where we could put clinics Project by project we needed better tools to do our job So we built them But where we were working The map the map was blank my my first time in the cobble in In 2009 there was literally Ring Road and Jalalabad Road coming up. Anyway, the city was an intersection You know here you're going you're gonna actually try to map an election and and there's there's no there's no there's no context so we were a group of developers and We got good at making maps Fast forward to today We've mapped the whole world and built a platform a platform that's being used by more than 350 million people touching our maps every day Whether this is like snapchat or waking up to check the weather or watching your groceries delivered on Instacart And here's what's special every time somebody touches one of these maps The code in these apps is collecting anonymous aggregated data back And in real time We're collecting latitude longitude timestamp elevation directionality This this is the kind of stuff that we're able to map the world live So here we are we're building out this network of decentralized sensors our phones Every time people touch the map We are the ones powering this living map And all of this is happening as we're entering this era of Robotic intelligence and infinite data So what kind of maps do robots need and how are we going to build those maps as We leverage location data to unleash human potential Map box is building the location data layer for an entirely new world This this is map boxes frontier Maps created by humans for machines to orchestrate symphonies of automation in transportation Industry and learning look each of us have memories of Touching a map whether that's you know touching the globe for the first time or getting in your car and Unfolding it as you as you get ready for get ready for a road trip Traditionally the map existed to tell you where you were going Today the map puts humans in an even more powerful role No longer does the map revolve around the world's coordinate system It revolves around ours We're the blue dot and the map is literally created around us So in this human centric model Our command over machine maps Is going to unlock this next error of human opportunity This means we need to push beyond what traditional boundaries of a map have even been thought of and and build a more perfect map of our world and Its human activities commerce the environment around us Connections with each other So With more perfect maps We're not just talking about maps and apps and and and and for cars We want the whole machine ecosystem to be running More efficiently to build a more equitable stable and prosperous world On a technical level our vision at map box is a race forward to where we know maps are going This is this is beyond mobile. I want everybody to just like shred The traditional concepts you have of what what a map looks like Because we're starting to operate in in a mixed reality paradigm Where real-time reality grade location data Is going to orient everything from gaming to automated vehicles to logistics I'm honored to be here today with all of you in Tokyo the and Honored to have the support of the softbank team They they see this new world and we're building it. We're building it together I want to speak a little bit about the history of maps and really to understand where we're going I want to pull back and talk a little bit about how we got here and what that relationship has been between humans and the map so Let's let's take a first look at at why maps existed. This was about Documenting exploration these maps were powered by our intense desire to know And and they were owned by by these elites, right? This this elite group of people where the data was all locked away in these static snapshots in back rooms Many of the maps in the early days as we now know where they were wrong, right? But over time we we iterated And and it's that nature of map making that is ingrained in humanity's curiosity Each new map became better and more complete And more representative of the diversity of the needs that we had And more equipped to meet the needs that we have today fast-forward We've mapped the whole world and now that map is oriented around us focused on the context around us Once the digital maps got into our car we we stopped way fine. We stopped using paper maps once maps got on to our phones we we actually stopped using peripheral map peripheral tech in in the cars Here's where things get interesting This dawn of sensors gave humans the chance to document our exploration to translate our discovery into data and As this network of sensors just starts to skyrocket This footprint expands Expedentially, so maps are going to transform the function of just providing directions and In knowing what's happening around you where we're going the location data layer is the operating system for machines That will unleash an entirely new error of human discovery enterprise and industry Today we are all map makers Every human transit every purchase Every memory created every connection shared is tied to location We move around in our daily life and in its this motion that creates an invisible map This is a map of our lives And at scale this is the map of human activity and Powered by map box technology. This is the roadmap of machine driven future and tremendous innovation and industry So look maps got us to where we are today It's that human desire to explore that has led us build this new world that is pulsing around us The question now is what? What is the map of the new world? This is not about a map anymore This is about the opportunities that location data is going to unlock So to understand where the platform is going let's start with our human foundation the 1 million registered developers We have building on top of map box Solving human challenges is in map boxes DNA, but we created map box to serve Communities of people on the ground solving urgent real-world needs Those were famines in Somalia elections in Sudan Hurricanes in Houston We knew that the map could empower Professionals to save lives in the environment around them and by creating a platform We gave them better tools To make data driven decisions So combining their data they're on the ground reality with location data We could inform them How to work better and it's been that relationship with developers over the years That's influenced our platform and change how we've built and now today those 1 million developers touching our SDKs Building on our API's Are funneling a level of data back that's helping us make a more perfect map So whether it's apps like snapchat or you saw some of the watches like Cisco or you know weather terminals by IBM We're touching over 350 million users a month It's these people touching the map that are constantly feeding back live data Live mapping the world. They are the humans that are at the heart of the map So what is what does this start to mean for autonomous vehicles? The map is no longer just providing directions, right? The map is a propulsion for the vehicle So if I tell you to go to a bar Or better said look there's a go to the bar at bars on the corner You'll notice that what I really meant is there's a door on the corner and you're gonna be able to analyze that it's that it's a bar Up until now we have been the location interface for maps And as we start being removed from that experience the level of precision Accuracy and timely updates Are insane So for an an autonomous vehicle to move people around with this level of precision The details have to go deeper We are at the dawn of a re of reality grade data That requires reality grade precision To know where everything in the world is And and we're in a world where the level of change is accelerating and the map needs to be more live than ever So this is not just about a powering our autonomous strategy This is about powering an entire world that is changing more and more radically Take a look at the transportation and logistics Our core mission is to help people and goods move more efficiently Connecting people with things they need every single vehicle Plugged into the map box network Creates a better map through that data feedback loop So look what while they atlas in the back seat is Beautiful It was also it was also static Maps drawn by hand lost out to maps drawn by sensors And we can be nostalgic about that past But the upsides for safety productivity and industry Cannot be argued with sensor-driven maps Are going to be an enormous win for humanity Today map box collects over 225 million miles of anonymized data Every single day that means we have more sensors on the road today Then the entire auto industry is going to have by 2020 and These sensors this is what's painting the more perfect map Traffic on the road whether a new roads being built did a detour come out overnight as the real world changes Your maps in your applications need to change And it's this global sensor network that's literally emitting hundreds of millions of pings a minute That's feeding back to power the context around us the future of transportation and logistics Requires a level of precision that is only possible through this decentralized network of sensors And it's not just about the real world As we start looking at augmented reality That the future is being built on layers of timely data That are going to be powered by these maps, but you're never going to see the map It's the data behind the map. That's actually changing context and being streamed live Directly in to change the gameplay or change the context of what you're looking at There's no room for error here You're getting down to the level that when you pick up your phone What you're looking at is right in front of you having that context needs to align perfectly And you might want to pull out your phone and immediately Spawn your own virtual world and the people around you join that world The notion of a map is Influencing your interaction as much as it is a visual component anymore So to reach this frontier and to drive faster at updating this this feed of data We need more system. We need more sensors. We need to become part of more apps We need to empower you all to build more crazy technology and applications Because the more people that use the map The smarter the map becomes so to conclude The first maps documented our world and in Indocumenting the world it also made that the it also captured the reality at that time by harnessing map box we're giving a community of more than a million developers and a larger reach of 350 plus million people touching the map the ability to make that map to own that reality So Let me end with if if we can make our own maps We can also make new realities I Invite all of you to join us at map box where we're building a new world together Thank you very much

We're gonna have a chance to learn about a great organization called dogs at dog tags It's a very fitting considering last week. We celebrated two things one was the the Marine Corps birthday We turned 240 years old on Tuesday and on Wednesday Celebrated Veterans Day and then also if we want to backtrack a little bit more September. We nationally we looked at September is suicide awareness Prevention month and everything this organization is doing and is going to do Well help reduce the number of veterans that commit suicide on a daily basis right now We're averaging about 22 veterans that do decided in their lives. So I'd like to introduce a Tory Willits Willitson and he will Talk a little bit more about his organization Please step up to the mic Thank you mayor, thank you city council Tory can you pull the mic up a little bit? My name is Tory Willitson. I am local I'm from Sheboygan Falls. I graduated from Sheboygan Falls high school In the last five years I've spent time with the Marine Corps and with the Army the 101st the 82nd the 10th and the 4th ID I was headhunted as a dog trainer to train military working dogs to sniff IEDs And I deployed with the Marine Corps the 7th Marines to Afghanistan It was an especially kinetic area I lost a a couple of guys a couple of dogs and One that I didn't lose we this is kind of what started the whole program that I'm going to tell you about a little bit I gave you guys some information about it Just so I didn't have to stand up here for the whole 15 minutes because you guys have a lot of stuff to do I decided to come home and work it from here Chris got blown up on June 13th And we were having a hard time getting his dog back to him at Balboa Took me over in a month and a lot of red tape to get him back And I knew the best thing for him to keep him motivated was the bond that him and his dog created With each other through the training. I spent all of 2012 with them and the deployment So between myself working up my side in Afghanistan and his father retiring from the Air Force and still in contact with the general That was in charge of flights going in out of Bastion We ended up getting his dog Harley to him at Balboa and It changed his life. She got to stay at Balboa with him She was there in his bed with him at times Dogs and veterans Have a bond and especially when they work with them You spend that much time with an animal and taking care of that animal going through the training Using them to keep your platoon or your squad or your fire team safe you create An enormous amount of respect for each other and what I noticed was When we come home the dogs get taken away from the guys and it's some of the hardest Things that they can deal with I helped a lot of my guys Get their dogs when they retired and they say it was the best thing that ever happened to them that it Meant more to them getting their dog that they were in battle with Then a lot of other things that happened in their lives at that time and the whole time I'm doing this. I'm putting this program together We have a high rate of Shelters that euthanized dogs. It's it's just a fact of life. It's how it is shelters get overwhelmed They have nowhere else to go with them and they end up getting put down so between My love for the canine and my respect for the gentleman that I went to Afghanistan with I Decided that I wanted to do something for the suicide rate I can't go into a lot of it, but I just received the latest Department of Defense suicide rates through all forces It didn't get any better. In fact, it got worse. I can't go into it because It's actually the only reason I got it is because I still hold the security And he gave it to me to talk to you guys about that This problem is not gonna get better unless we do something about it Sheboygan County also has one of the highest suicide rates in the state of Wisconsin I was just at Jake's cafe for a suicide prevention meeting and The doctors that spoke We're so impressed with the fact that the city of Sheboygan showed up. It was standing room only And there's a lot of support around here. So what I'm gonna do is I'm going to take dogs that are in shelters I'm gonna train them and I'm gonna provide them to Soldiers and marines and airmen that need Some assistance. There's a comfort that comes from animals whether it's canine or equestrian that Provides something that they can't get somewhere else and The fact that I know this works because I've done it already and I've seen the changes in the guys that I provided animals for I decided I wanted to do that back here in my hometown and started off I think Darryl for letting me come here and speak to you guys about it. You do have some information I'm discussing what I can potentially do with some National representatives of major companies But I'm I just wanted to let everybody know that we're out there. We have a web page. We have a Facebook page. We'll be needing People that would like to be fosters of dogs and potentially come into and train with us So we can actually do evaluations on canines the VA is Doing as best they can and the gunny that was with me in Afghanistan is now in charge of naval veterans affairs He was he was one of the guys that was shot when I was in Afghanistan And one of my dog handlers actually had to get him to the truck So he's very passionate about that. He's now a master sergeant. He works out of the Pentagon. I Have the master sergeant that was in charge of all military working dogs for the Pentagon Who's on my board of directors who's behind us on this? And I also have the first sergeant that was in charge of my safety because when you go over there as a civilian You're not armed. I was not armed I was in trusting these young men with my life every time I traveled in my AO and I had five different forward operation bases That were in a very kinetic area that I traveled at So I know and I lived with and I got very close to these guys And I know what these dogs meant to them and I know what these dogs here can can do for people when it comes to suicide prevention So I just took the best of both worlds. I want to save some dogs And I want to save some lives because this has to be addressed I Thank you guys very much for your time if you have any questions you have my business card and You can get a hold of me at any time you want. Thank you Tori, thank you very much for that presentation and what you're trying to do for our veterans. We really appreciate it this last Wednesday was veterans day and I had a privilege of attending with six of the other alderman the ceremony that was put together by North High and And Mike Liebelt they had a great program And it was really neat because they brought several of the students forward to that had made a commitment to go into the Service and and highlighted their their direction in that area for their career There was also a veteran service out at sunny Ridge And it's great to see this community Doing what they do to support our vets during Memorial Day in Veterans Day Next I'd like to present a proclamation And I'd like to ask the Lori Kerwin and Dave Hoffman to come forward This proclamation Whereas the city of Sheboygan believes that small businesses are the backbone of our economy and the glue that holds our communities together According to the United States small business administration. There are currently 28 million small businesses in the United States They represent more than 99% of American companies Create two-thirds of new jobs and generate half of the private gross domestic products And whereas small businesses employ one half of the employees in the private sector and in the United States and Whereas 93% of the United States consumers believe it's important to smart to support Small local businesses that they value in their community 89% agree that locally owned independent businesses contribute positively through paying taxes and providing jobs And whereas the city of Sheboygan supports local businesses that create jobs Both boost our local economy and preserve our neighborhoods and whereas Advocacy groups and public and private organizations across the country have endorsed the Saturday after Thanksgiving as small business Saturday Now therefore I Mike van der Steen mayor of the city of Sheboygan do ordain and proclaim Saturday November 28th as Small Business Saturday in Sheboygan and I present this proclamation to them Okay, next we'll move on to the consent agenda No public forum, I'm sorry Thank you Public forum this evening. We have four people speaking first on the list would be ran Schmitz Ryan if you could come up to the mic, please Yeah, there you go And if you could state your name and home address, please Ray and Schmitz four six one four sell 15th Street Sheboygan Terrific, then you'll have five minutes. Thank you city clerk. Mr. Mayor city attorney and members of the council Once again, I am ray and Schmitz. I'm a city employee and I've been working in the assessor's office as a residential appraiser since December 2000 which may end on December 31st 2015 according to a resolution item 5.1 on tonight's agenda I'm concerned about the future of the city assessor's office and the effects outsourcing of this department will have on the citizens property owners various city and county departments. I Hope this resolution will be discussed before a decision is made a well-informed decision Therefore, I want to share information about the assessor's office as to who we are and what we do The purpose of the assessor's department is to discover List and place a value in all taxable real and personal property in the city of Sheboygan in a uniform and equitable manner We are a service oriented department and have strived to educate the public on the assessment process Annually we maintain property data assessment values for over 17,000 parcels as For as real estate is concerned and over 1,500 personal property accounts We verify property data by reviewing the interiors and exteriors of properties process requests for assessment reviews Verify new construction based on building permits issued as well as discover work being done without permits We complete and file The required department reports for the Department of Revenue such as the assessor's final report statement of assessment Exempt computer reports and various statistical reports We validate and analyze all sales compare them to the current assessments We defend the assessment values at the local border review Our office has been compliant with the deport department of revenue since 1999 Our office has performed two city-wide evaluations as required by the Department of Revenue to remain compliant Our department is mandated by the state statutes and monitored by the Wisconsin Department of Revenue Each of the staff members of the assessor's office is required to be certified with the Department of Revenue and must maintain their certifications with continuing education workshops Currently, there are four members of the assessment staff, but that hasn't always been the situation 15 years ago. There were six staff members and today there are four After the previous assessor left in 2010 our department offered that we could do this with four members as a cost savings to the city As part of your discussion Please consider postponing the outsourcing of the department due to the assessment calendar work The assessment calendar for processing work is typically from June to May in a maintenance year and not January 1 to December 31 Our calendar begins once the border review adjourns, which is typically held in May or June of each year At this time our office is in the middle of our assessment work preparing for the 2016 border review Also consider reviewing the results from outsourcing that was done in past for the cleaning service engineering, HR, and IT Therefore, I ask and I hope you will give this resolution the proper discussion it deserves Thank you for your time Thank you Next on our list is Lona, Thelon Talon, I never get it right Lona, could you give us your full name and home address please? Sure. It's Lona, Talon, N11669 State Road 175 Brownsville, Wisconsin You can go ahead. Thank you Good evening mayor van der steen council members in the public I'm speaking on the resolution before the council tonight to outsource the assessor's office Again, my name is Lona, Talon, and I am one of your full-time property appraisers for the city of Sheboygan With over 18 years in your assessor's office. I was hired in August of 1997 as a part-time clerk position and received a promotion to a full-time technician in 1998 and another promotion in 2007 to a property appraiser. I have been involved in the last three citywide Revaluations for the city of Sheboygan. We were a six-member office in 1999 when we assisted an outside firm Then in 2006 the revaluation was conducted with the in-house six-member city staff and the third was for 2014 which was conducted by the four-member staff with some assistance from an outside firm During the 2006 and 2014 Revaluation years the staff was asked to refrain from taking their vacation time so that we had full staffing During the busy summer months to complete these evaluations in the appropriate time frame After performing a rough calculation the city of Sheboygan has invested over 66 years of time into the current employees and Likewise, these employees have invested a combination of over 66 years of experience into Sheboygan Your Sheboygan assessor's office is responsible for the fair and equitable portfolio of properties valued in excess of $2.1 billion. This portfolio includes over 17,000 assessment parcels and over 1,500 locally assessed personal property accounts. Would you want someone who doesn't even live in the community nor have any ties in the Community assess your property? We are constantly giving advice to commercial developers and prospective buyers Some of our fellow employees have come to our office for advice on real estate values in this community We strive to maintain fair and equitable assessments It is a common occurrence in our office for some or all of our staff to be discussing new construction taking place Or did you see the new siding roof for addition on a particular property or sharing information with our assessment technician about a Particular businesses location. We are in contact with other city or county departments with any questions concerns or comments This shows that we are aware of the happenings in the city of Sheboygan The assessor's office has provided excellent customer service over the years, which is Which is evident by the written. Thank you that I personally received from the property owners during the 2014 revaluation For the 2015 Board of Review, which met in June. There were no complaints. No objections I am sure that these statistics have already been provided to you by the chief financial officer The city assessor and or other city hall personnel Prior to 1998 the assessor's office had been closed over the lunch hour The staff made the decision to flex our lunches to be able to accommodate Keeping the office open and available on the lunch hour for better customer service giving back to the public Through our years the members of the assessor's office have made suggestions to our supervisors to reduce our hours to a 37.5 hour work week as well as taking furlough days as the state employees had been doing to help reduce the budget The city has tried outsourcing in the past for the cleaning and engineering departments, but the duties were eventually given back to the city employees Through the years of 2009 and 2010 the assessor's office was reduced to five members and eventually to the four members Where we currently are When it was announced that the city assessor was retiring were the various scenarios considered for the assessor's office such as Operating with the three staff members Outsourcing the assessor position only and other possibilities It is very disheartening how the assessor's office is held in such low regard by the municipality that we serve a Full-time on-site assessor's office is a valuable resource to your local government and to your local community Thank you for your time Thank You Darcy can you give us your full name and home address, please Darcy Beernick w 3 2 7 2 County Road G Cedar Grove And you will have five minutes Hello, my name is Darcy Beernick And I would like to speak on behalf of the resolution regarding outsourcing the city assessor's office I have been employed with the city assessor's office for over 17 years nine years as a police-and-fire dispatcher and the past eight years as an Assessment technician in the city assessor's office in those 17 years I've always felt and been proud to say that the city of Sheboygan is a business that provides services What is a service an action of doing work or helping someone? Eliminating people in this case an entire in-house city assessor's office is Eliminating a crucial city service the city assessor's office prides itself on the service We provide and the relationships that we have developed with citizens and business owners Over many many years that the city assessor's office has been in existence We have citizens who contact our office and asked for a certain person Why is that because all of us have been at the city assessor's office for several several years? We have been loyal employees for the city and also to the citizens of Sheboygan Relationships loyalty and trust have been built with the citizens. I understand that there is a budget to be met I also understand that this is not meant to be personal But what about the citizens and business owners the service? They have always known will no longer be so the service the city assessor's office has prided itself on taking It's being taken away from them. Why maybe to save money We value the citizens and their time helping them with questions concerns and taking the time to educate them about their assessments The city assessor's office has built a rapport with these individuals and we value that service and loyalty to these individuals Again a service taken away from the citizens to save money Not only does our office work with citizens and business owners, but with other offices When I began working in the city assessor's office over eight years ago I was told during my training that the city assessor's office is the hub to other city offices Again service comes to mind the city assessor's office assists other offices with reports and procedures For both in-house matters and also reports on the state level As you are aware the city assessor's office is currently working with two software systems Bridges have been made to bridge important information from the city assessor's office to other city departments To finalize important numbers and to balance reports years of orchestrating procedures between departments is over Services we have provided for years now not only is that service being taken away from the citizens business owners But also city offices Again, I do understand that a budget needs to be met But it's outsourcing a service the city assessor's office really the answer to take a service like the in-house city Assessor's office away from the citizens and other offices to me This seems like a rash decision and needs to be given more thought than merely for the financial aspect Please consider keeping the city assessor's office in-house rather than outsourcing if the city of true The city of Sheboygan truly prides itself on service, then please don't take the service away. Thank you Thank You Darcy And next on our list is Joseph lamb Joseph Joseph can you give us your full name and home address please? Name is Joseph lamb 4010 North 30th Street, Sheboygan, Wisconsin Go ahead.

I've had a little bit more time to think about this and As far as reducing the size of the council without any strategy without any Formation of what the committees are going to be like. I think it's really putting the cart before the horse. It's like Why do we need to pass this? It's going to be a year away? Why not take some take a look at it formulate it? I guess the committee structure and and what the responsibilities of those 10 people are going to be So I'm not going to support that rather in turn just hold this document until after something comes back from strategic planning Thank you for those comments Alderman Heidemann Alderman Carlson Thank You mr. Mayor. I'm kind of eluded to it there But a six point ten as an RC by the committee the whole as requested by Alder person boron Requesting that these strategic fiscal planning meet and come back with a report on the committee structure by March I think that does satisfy Any concerns that anyone may have in terms of the structure?

So tell me about that What do you think about how 2020 is shaping up and in capitalism versus socialism? Well, I mean capitalism is gonna win There's there's no question about that, but I look I'm never against open discourse. That's what makes this country great You know people being able to convey their opinions now. I'm not gonna agree with all of them Socialism just doesn't work Medicare for all I believe health care is a right, but you're not gonna all of a sudden Create an environment. Well, let's just talk about her plan, right? Yeah. Yeah, and you had a Twitter battle Yeah, and not even with her right. I think she just let me go but You know, if you look at her plan, there's just things that just have no chance of passing, you know And things that just don't make sense like so Part of her plan says employers will take the money that we were paying for insurance and put that into the Payment for Medicare for all for their employees now She had the choice of saying let's increase payroll taxes by a certain amount Which would have been the more viable way, but we should what she chose was something called a head tax Which says for my company's any company that has more than 50 employees rather than paying a higher payroll tax We're gonna charge you the average of the last three years plus an inflator Each year for each one of your employees now that means that in her mind that will be paying $7,500 to pick a number per year per employee now for somebody who's making $200,000 a year Okay, that's not bad But what's the impact on someone who's making $10 an hour or $12 an hour or $30,000 a year If you know if you you have to hire somebody and the the payroll cost is instead of 6.12% or whatever it is right you're having to pay $7,500 per year You're gonna have second slow higher right you're gonna have second thoughts about hiring that person even worse as you evolve Into her plan you're gonna see companies cut payroll benefits because they know if they push their costs down leading into the plan for the Calculations it's gonna cost them less per per employee and that's gonna create additional problems It's not gonna hate it because their Cadillac plans go. Well. Yeah, I mean yeah look for the Dallas Mavericks He cost me for a family of four my we self-insured my insurance costs are $29,900 per year, but I'm okay with that because our insurance is great and it's a great premium for an employee's Under Medicare for all they're gonna take a huge step back in what they get and like to your point with unions for their Cadillac plans You're gonna have a lot of people that are very upset that Medicare for all doesn't provide the quality of care that they're used to and that's gonna create huge transitional problems Okay, so I will admit that that clip didn't bother me as much as the clips with you know Bill Gates and Leon Cooperman with that being said whenever I hear a billionaire talk about politics It just it frustrates me because I don't care About billionaires and elites like if you want to know how we should construct public policy We shouldn't be talking to rich people who don't need government to sustain themselves We should be talking to normal people Who the government is supposed to serve who actually pay taxes mind you and who should have the largest say in The direction of the country, but nonetheless, you know in mainstream media rather than actually focusing in on what normal people want We see them bring on billionaires like Mark Cuban to pontificate about things that won't affect them and that they usually don't know anything about So he says capitalism is gonna win There's no question about it But the thing about capitalism potentially winning out over socialism is that capitalism is a virus that will one day grow so big that it will consume itself and Inevitably devour the entire political system which it exists in and Bring down the planet with it. So for the sake of humanity We better hope that capitalism doesn't win because capitalism is going to kill us all if it does in fact win Now I know that for people like Mark Cuban, of course You don't want to undo capitalism because this is the system that made you a billionaire So I mean I wouldn't want to undo socialism if that system helps me so I get it it's self-interest, right? But for the sake of humanity's survival We better hope that capitalism does not win and you know I think that he's wrong in actuality because when you look at public opinion polls Seven out of ten millennials favor socialism and they would vote to elect a socialist So the future generation they know that capitalism is a failure Capitalism is a deadly system. It's just a matter of will we be able to assume power in time before it kills us all? That's really the true question. It's a race against time. Um, he also says I'm never against open discourse That's what makes this company country great Now I love that Freudian slip there because that's the same exact thing that Danny Dorch said when he was talking about how You know Bernie Sanders is not what is good for this company country Excuse me right because when you elect someone like Bernie Sanders You know that that's going to be bad for the bottom line because he's going to make you pay your fair share He just put out a brilliant tweet about Netflix He said that 899 fee that you paid a Netflix monthly is more than they've paid in taxes all year So what Bernie Sanders is going to do is make all of these tax dodgers finally pay what they haven't been paying So, you know, that's really important But that's what people who are elites don't like because they've been able to hire enough lawyers to where they don't have to pay Taxes they can get away with paying zero dollars Amazon paid zero dollars in taxes after they made billions in profits This is a trillion dollar company. So the fact that they are paying effectively zero dollars in taxes should outrage everyone So what Bernie Sanders is doing is he's going to change that and they know they don't like that now Mark Cuban says socialism just doesn't work okay, that's not a very persuasive argument and Furthermore it depends on what type of socialism we're talking about Progressives in the US oftentimes point to social democratic countries in Scandinavia. Those are working really well When it comes to Latin American countries oftentimes when they elect a socialist government We overthrow that government with the CIA. So we haven't even really tested democratic socialism anywhere in the world What we're really talking about is Democratizing the workplace. We're talking about democratizing society. We're talking about hyper democratization So it's not necessarily so much about big government so much as it is about empowering people, right? So, I mean socialism To say that it doesn't work that doesn't really mean anything. It has no value in saying it so he then moved on to Medicare for all to demonstrate why socialism won't work and He proclaims health care to be a right but then proceeds to argue against Medicare for all and why we can't have health care Be a right in actuality now when they refer to her Medicare for all bill Meaning Elizabeth Warren meaning Bernie Sanders Medicare for all bill since he's the only candidate who actually supports Medicare for all The reason why he's against it is because he thinks it's not politically feasible now He argues that the head tax isn't the best way to fund it knows no disagreement from me there However, to say that it's not politically feasible That doesn't mean anything. There's a lot of things that we previously thought were not politically feasible Right, the new deal was not politically feasible The voting rights act passing social security. These are all things that we thought were not politically feasible marriage equality Women securing the right to vote freeing the slaves even our entire history is pretty radical right as Americans We've been always pushing the envelope and we haven't really gotten any big structural reform or constitutional amendments in this generation So now I think we're on the cusp of that people are finally waking up and realizing that we need that change So to say that it's not politically feasible That doesn't really mean anything and it's an a historical take because you're not taking into account the times that Americans have done things that were once thought to be politically infeasible. He also talks about um How Medicare for all according to him will take a huge step back in terms of benefits And he adds quote You're going to have a lot of people that are very upset that Medicare for all doesn't provide the quality of care That they're used to meaning union members and that's going to create huge transitional problems So this is an outright lie Medicare for all for I think most Americans will offer the best care that they have ever had to get the level and quality of care that Medicare for all will offer like If you were to opt for a private plan that covers that much you'd be paying like more than a thousand dollars per month for one person I'd imagine because it covers everything dental Vision hearing aids for seniors. It is comprehensive Universal and it's free at the point of service. So the union members who enjoy the private insurance that they have currently first of all I can assure you that it's going to be better than almost every single plan that unions are offering that's based in you know, the private market and Second of all if it's expanded to everyone, isn't that better? I mean, I like I just don't understand how people can say health care is a right But then say I don't support Medicare for all I still think that it should be a commodity like shoes and video games Like that's contradictory. You cannot say Healthcare is a human right, but then go on to say I think we should deny this human right to people unless they can afford it Because it's not politically feasible Fuck off like Democrats say this too They have co-opted the language that we use to talk about Medicare for all health cares are right even Tom Perez The DNC chair if you ask him what he thinks about Medicare for all doesn't support it all Democrats say health care is a right Do they actually believe it's a right? No Because something that is a right cannot be taken away from you and the fact that they say it's a right But believe that you have to have money to you know benefit from that, right?  They're about paying lip service to the single payer movement, which isn't going away anytime soon mind you So, you know, they don't have a choice either they acquiesce or we're gonna take them out And we're gonna defeat them and we will get people in power who actually will push for Medicare for all now Later on during that interview the portion of a clip that I didn't show you He talked about the wealth tax and how he's not necessarily against the wealth tax per se It just kind of matters how it's implemented now He was incredibly condescending and it was such a short portion that I didn't think it was worth playing the clip But basically to summarize what he was saying and I'll link to the full thing down below if you want to watch it was that you know people who support the wealth tax overall it seems like they're a little bit naive because They don't actually have billions of dollars, you know in cash on hand And you know the wealth tax a plan like Elizabeth Warren's doesn't actually take into account liquidity Given that you know the amount that he'd owe Mark Cuban himself based on his wealth actually exceeds the amount of cash He has on hand so in order to you know fulfilled what's required under Elizabeth Warren's wealth tax You have to sell off portions of his worth in order to pay that wealth tax And so the way that he talks about proponents of the wealth tax is that they're just naive and they don't really understand the wealth tax Right, they don't realize that people like him are going to have to literally sell off their wealth in order to comply with the wealth tax But that's the whole point The point is you have to sell off your wealth in order to pay the wealth tax Until you lose so much wealth that the wealth tax no longer applies to you That's the whole point because in a capitalist system wealth equals power We can't have people having a billion dollars in net worth because that destabilizes the system so the fact that it doesn't take into account liquidity does not matter Sell off your assets to pay for the wealth tax And eventually you will have your wealth reduced to the point where you won't have to worry about the wealth tax That's the point billionaires shouldn't exist period end of story and to that He also said that people like Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders are becoming incredibly Trumpian by saying statements like that Look, I am so sick and tired of hearing from billionaires They all need to understand that at a time when there is wealth and income inequality They need to read the room and shut the fuck up because they're You know talking down in a condescending way to peasants on national television every single day. It's not helping their cause It's only making people want to eat the rich even more. They're getting more hungry So, I mean I'll leave that there. I'm not sure what else to say about this Mark Cuban like every other billionaire Is incredibly out of touch and yes, we need to take the wealth that he stole From America because that much wealth. I mean, I don't know how much he's well. He's worth He's over a billion, but um, no one person should have it.
