Jello seems even MORE relevant today. I voted Sanders in '16 and last Primary. I'm glad Jello brought how the reparations on Germany after WWI and not providing some kind of aid to former USSR helped in Putin and Hitlers rise to power. NATO Expansion past E. Germany & Czech Rep(breaking our promise not to do so)helped Putin as well. Sadly, thanks to the Electoral College, an archaic, outdated relic, and remnant of slavery, we are stuck in this 2 party system. If Trump 'wins' another election, he'll replace RBG with another Kooky Evangelical from a list provided by the Heritage Foundation, ALEC, or some other billionaire funded right wing lobby think tank. MORE tax cuts for Billionaires. I'm thankful to Sanders for bringing these issues into the Democratic mainstream. The Bernie Campaign WAS NOT A FAILURE AT ALL. As long as he does not aid Trump.
Just wanted to say a big thankyou. It was originally Jello spoken word material along with great authors like Noam Chomsky that opened my eyes to the power of true community driven anarchism. May many positive returns come back to you.
Katie Weird - too bad the San Andres Fault line doesn’t run up that far north. I’m sure the rest of the country wouldn’t mind if the whole West Coast broke off and fell into the Pacific! Beach Front property for Montana, Idaho, & Nevada don’t sound so bad! LOL
I love the DEVO hat behind you. Did you get it from Mark Mothersbaugh back during the Urgh! Festival DK played? I remember that DEVO and The Dead Kennedy’s was the best two groups of that show! 😁😁😁👍👍👍
Go to punk shows in San Francisco. I've seen him at a pizza place eating pepperoni, walking late at night on Montgomery ST, and at many shows. Talked to him every time.
The ventilator maintenance contracts expiring and nobody from the government can work on them is not as much of a shock to me. Years ago it came out that when the military bought generators part of the contract (with a private company) stated the military could not,for any reason, repair them if they broke. A technician from the company would be sent to do the repair, for a fee of course. It may take a few days to send somebody to a war zone, because God forbid the government stand in the way of a private company’s lucrative ,high cost ,service contracts by having a lowly soldier doing the repair in 1/10th. the time.

Not only did I just find out that Jello is back but I also find out that he's been "back" for quite awhile and I didn't know about it. Not gonna beat myself up though, I'm here now.
Hey,jello!I just had Saturday night holocaust singing in my head, and I was just wondering that if this quarantine is some kind of distraction for something more sinister?duh,eh!
I'm so glad to be able to hear your views on everything going on right now. And I love the WWJD thing. About 20 years ago when I was first really writing songs, I took on the motto, "What Would Joey Do?" referencing Joey Ramone. And I made a shirt with four pictures of him and just the WWJD? text. Appropriate the BS and use it against them!
Thanks, Jello. I found this because "kill kill kill kill kill the poor" started playing in my head a few weeks ago. I shared the TH-cam video with friends on an activist slack channel, where we were talking about covid, with the message "Jello Biafra remains relevant". Then TH-cam did me the favor of suggesting this. So, uh... never thought I'd say this, but "thanks TH-cam", as well.

It might have something to do with competent bidders avoiding trump contracts. Part of the ACA's success was creating opportunities for private companies to specialize in medical services. When Trump works against that, it sends a clear signal to avoid investing in the kind of equipment that would allow you to bid on a contract for ventilators because a contract to build ventilators isn't making money. It's also really hard to invest in Republican services because people get treated really poorly and it reflects poorly on the businesses that run them. You would think the party of greed would be better at running businesses. lol
Its so trendy to hate on capitalism especially if you were in a punk band or listen to punk but yall probably havent the slightest idea what capitalism actually is or how its ethically justified and how it is NOT EVEN CLOSE the status quo. WE DONT LIVE UNDER CAPITALISM.

Here in the city, most people are wearing masks and gloves, but out in Trump-country they are not taking things so seriously. So i am warning you, if you contract Covid-19, do not under any circumstances drive out to rural churches and cough on the doorknobs. If caught you can be charged with attempted man-slaughter. So don't do that.
Jello should be president. He has so much political knowledge and so informed. His music help build my political views with his way to use satire in his songs. Hes awesome and makes u feel safe which is what leaders are supposed to do. I'm canadian so I really have no right to say this. I just think jello is awesome.
It's so dumb someone would bring up Frank Zappa. The dude did a lot of drugs, Jello Biafra was the lead singer of the DEAD KENNEDYS.. It's so common for things to get outta proportion, especially when the internet made it accessible for people to become geniuses.
