  - Upcoming Unsifted Videos - active video submissions that neither are published to the front page nor archived to the submitter's personal queue
- Have you seen a really funny, surprising, scary, interesting, cute or in any other way extra good quality video?

  Mind you, we only share videos you discover that someone else has made; if you "self link," by posting a video you have made, have posted or have interests in, you risk the ban hammer - read the posting guidelines before posting. The sift is NOT for promoting your own videos - it is for sharing videos others have made.

The Rise of the New Global Super-Rich

submitted by Joe Motion

Technology is advancing in leaps and bounds — and so is economic inequality, says writer Chrystia Freeland. In an impassioned talk, she charts the rise of a new class of plutocrats (those who are extremely powerful because they are extremely wealthy), and suggests that globalization and new technology are actually fueling, rather than closing, the global income gap. Freeland lays out three problems with plutocracy ... and one glimmer of hope.

Right...where we want you. Left, out in the cold.
"suggests that globalization and new technology are actually fueling, rather than closing, the global income gap."

^Now there's a leap-How this observation isn't glaringly obvious to anyone who thinks they can have any political sway to slow or reasonably disrupt this downhill boulder well, you may wanna learn how to voice your protest more effectively.

Caution: May require riot gear and people on the inside with a modicum of removing head-from-ass.

I would like to say that I'm glad that this was at TED but I don't really care. It doesn't matter, it's just another person saying something that everyone already knows, you wanna do something about it?
