I wish he would not refer to people who condone of Snowden's actions as "Snowdenistas". That's just reductive propaganda.

"The moment when someone attaches you to a philosophy or a movement, then they assign all of the baggage that goes with it to you, and when you want to have a conversation, they will assert that they already know everything important there is to know about you because of that association. And that's not the way to have a conversation."

A few questions, none very technical.

Do you think that there's a significantly greater discontent with unrestrained capitalist growth than there has been in the past? If so, what effect if any do you think it could have in the coming years?

Would labor reforms in places like China be beneficial in the long run or would corporations find more loopholes?

Is it a realistic proposition to hold companies to the labor standards of the country where they're headquartered/where their top officials reside?

Thanks

Thank God: I'm taking the elimination of that gaudy red banner as an all around good sign
