Americonned

This film enters our collective psyche at such a critical moment when working folks are organizing and striking at their workplaces nationwide to fight back against the enormous greed and lies of the bezos style ownership class.

Sean Claffey and his talented production team have given a loud voice to all of us who are fed up and furious at the 1% types plundering our economy & our daily lives in order to buy one more mansion, one more disgusting large yacht, in this case , bezos's yacht, while spitting on the millions hard hit by the pandêmic's terrible economic toll.

Sean follows several new unions organizing, such as the Amazon Labor Union and Starbucks Unions and several subjects trying to regain their footing after the devastation of the pandemic years.. This film has heart, soul and plenty of anger directed at those who would try to con us all And a huge heart and soul when highlighting the way we all can successfully organize to fight it.

I've seen Americconed and it's excellent. I hope everyone can see this film. This is an excellent documentary at a critical time in our history. What these corporations are doing to workers in every industry is disgusting. I've seen it and it's very a very informative and powerful look at our need for Unions in our battle of survival against corporate greed. I would highly recommend that you go see it, buy it, rent it, and share it with your friends and family. The time has never been more pressing. The only way we survive with even a working middle class is through union solidarity amongst all industries and even then it's going to be a battle.

One of the most powerful statements in the film 'Americonned, Time to Rise' comes from Kurt Andersen, who makes an argument in favor of wealth redistribution: "If we divided everything up equally, the average household would have a million dollars and earn a 6-figure income..."

Income inequality is rapidly becoming an issue that defines this decade. Too many people are forced to work 2-3 jobs in order to make enough money to house & feed their families. Both parents may have to work, creating a child care issue. Many don't have health care, and they go to work sick so they don't lose money to live on.

The United States was once known for its prosperity, but now the middle class is supporting the wealthiest 1%, who pay no taxes, do little work themselves & want to cut all aid to the poor.

The film follows the lives of a few people who are examples of the devastating reality of income inequality.

Everyone in the United States should view this film. Then they should actively seek change. Current conditions are cruel and unsustainable.

Time for We The People to rise. So well done. For years the people of this nation have been told a fabricated story to benefit those who already have it all. It has been a story spun to keep the average person feeling as though they themselves are to blame for their lacking. An embarrassed future millionaire just not doing enough. If only you didn't ... When in reality most of us are not born to wealth and will never be wealthy. However everyone should be able to have a roof , eat and prosper. We the people can do this together. Though it is heart wrenching at times it does give a ray of hope.
