Re: wealth inequality in america
I don't think it's that surprising or incredibly unfair (and I didn't really like the presenter's voice, so it was kind of annoying to listen through anyway)
What's so surprising about some people being incredibly wealthy and some people being incredibly not? What is there to discuss about that, or fix? Do we just take Warren Buffet's money and give it to everyone else?

I don't see what there's to dislike about the presenter's voice.
I'm glad to think that the community will always be kind and helpful, the language will always be a fun and easy way to be introduced into programming, the motto will always be: Imagine, Program, Share - Nomolos

Eh, I mostly ageed with the rest.
Sure, maybe we could distribute it more evenly.
But even this video alone admits it doesn't itself have any idea how to do that. It just wants us to accept "this is what it is like, and it is bad."
They don't offer a solution, and nobody here has so far.
