Central banks have trillions for speculation, none for people

Dolack is a master at explaining to ordinary people the financial games that our capitalist masters play because of our ignorance or when we don't pay attention. He explains how they are currently waging this class war and what we could have done with all the free money that the Fed gave to banks and corporations.
Instead of throwing money at speculators and banks in the vain hopes they would spend the money productively instead of pocketing it or directing it toward speculation or boosting stock prices, we could have wiped out all student debt, fixed all the schools, rebuilt aging water and sewer systems, cleaned up contaminated industrial sites and repaired dams, and still have $700 billion more to spend on other needs.
