Campaign finance and lobbyist influence | Who Rules America? (5/6)

Power in Washington D.C. is formally divided three ways: the Executive branch, the Judicial branch, and the Legislative branch. Directly from the capital of America, this episode investigates how money and lobbyists have come to dominate the political process. Watch interviews with leaders of three watchdog monitoring organizations: Robert Weissman (Public Citizen), Mary Boyle (Common Cause), and Sheila Krumholz (Center for Responsive Politics). They all agree on the fact that money dominates politics, a problem that involves both Democratic and Republican parties. In Congress, several representatives also share their views, including congressman Jesse Jackson Jr, who served for 17 years and resigned shortly after the shooting of this documentary under investigations for misuse of campaign funds. ------- Chapters ▷ 00:00 – Money dominates politics ▷ 03:02 – Watchdog organizations ▷ 08:18 – Campaign contributions ▷ 10:44 – Lobbying and voting ▷ 13:31 – United States Congress ▷ 16:14 – Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge Act ▷ 20:19 – Whistle-blowing former Congressional aide ▷ 24:03 – Next episode ▷ 24:24 – Credits ------- ------- Six decades after C.

Nokia - We Were Connecting People | Documentary about the former market leader in mobile phones

This film tells the rise and fall of Nokia and the Finnish mobile phone industry from grassroots, the point of view of the basic engineers and experienced by those who made the miracle happen and then faced the destruction. Many ended unemployed, some moved to new areas of work, and few found a new innovative entrepreneur in themselves. Today, something new may be smouldering in the ruins of Nokia.

Luckily other Finns were also able to enjoy the Nokia name. Even an Egyptian market vendor would call Finnish tourists ”Mr or Mrs Nokia” upon hearing from where they came. Mobile phones changed the world. They have
