Description

In this interview, Jimmy speaks at length with Pulitzer-Prize winning journalist, activist and the best-selling author Chris Hedges. During the wide-ranging discussion the two cover whether the Trump administration’s actions herald the precipitous decline of the American empire and whether fellow anti-imperialist commentator Glenn Greenwald is right to credit Trump for potentially ending the Ukraine War and gutting the FBI.

The thing Chris describes first with the private equity firm that bought nursing homes, separated it into two companies with the nursing homes part paying the real estate part, running them into the ground and then declaring bankruptcy is the same thing that happened with Olive Garden. Private equity bought them, took the real estate and ran the company into bankruptcy and came out with huge profits. Disgusting how this country works.

Iceland jailed their bankers, US bankers had no consequences AND kept billions in bonuses. Bold.
