eco-me is part my identity.t is part of who i am, and we work these days to obviously make money to put in our pocket and feed our families, but to do something that means more, it's pretty awesome to be a part of that. >> you guys have a lot of your own money in the business? >> yeah. >> how much debt in total exists? if you were just rough-balling it? >> well, close to $500,000. >> wow. >> last year was the year i was supposed to get paid, and it didn't happen, and it's incredibly hard for me, feeling the responsibility, to pull any money from the company when i know that i haven't paid people that are working and following my lead. >> when is the last time you got paid? >> it varies, but even if i-- >> we're back to november still with you, though. >> yeah. yeah. >> what's your biggest fear? >> that this company won't survive. >> if you don't raise money, is that a possibility? >> yeah. >> of course, yeah. >> it's always a possibility. >> look, robin and jen have a great starting point with this company, and

we had people come in from alaska to buy cars from eco park that's why our eco park on average, the ten stores do about ten times the volume of a traditional preowned or franchised dealer store as far as our number of units per store. do the franchises carry the eco park or the sonic name or is it joewilliams ford but you are the owner of that franchise from the ford company how does it work >> our franchise stores have different names all over the country from again from california to florida. our eco park stores are stand alone pre-owned stores with the eco park name only we have one of our stores sells about 1300 per month during the pandemic, the eco park stores were the most resilient during the whole pandemic from an investor standpoint that's what i think is most interesting is to see that growth and taking what now is a combined $20 billion -- i'm sorry 10.5 billion dollar company to now we're show a path to get to 20 billion in total revenue which from investor standpoint we think that is what most important >> let's talk about some of the near term trends phil was tweeting abo

welcome non-content today we discuss socialism capitalism and eco side with victor wants it to be fine for everybody to have a car and to do go on producing everything as long as everything could just be done on the basis of different kind of energy but the point is that it's not enough just to run all our private cars with solar cells the whole problem of how much is used up in the way of materials how much space is taken up and. also the fact that it's if you don't change the social configuration of power any progressive change that you might bring about can easily be undone by the same people who put them there in the 1st place you can't use the same system to correct itself the created these problems in the 1st place. the struggle to prevent eco side now taking place across the planet is at its core a battle against corporate capitalism itself to save ourselves from environmental catastrophe and ultimately extinction there must be a radical reinterpretation of our relations with each other and the planetary systems of life on which we depend this will only happen when we embrace an

eco socialism yeah what does that world look like what would you do talk about the book the vision. well the vision is as i said one of the of a classless society. in which there would have been a considerable reconfiguration of space. there would be less need for going long distances every day to get to work there would be more. restoration of natural space green space not only agricultural space but also forest space restoration of biodiversity and again who knows how much to what extent this is possible but to the extent that it's possible and it has been done in sort of the whole idea of regenerative that regenerative agriculture which is an important one but which to be applied on a large scale would require doing away with the agribusiness which are which levels whole areas and create specialized mono crops and then gets the pests and the pesticides and so on so you restore biodiversity that's the ecological vision a new day and the classless aspect is integral to that because part of the whole process of bringing this about is bringing about transformations in everybody's dai

the climate crisis is victor wallace author of red green revolution the politics and technology of eco socialism let's define eco socialism to begin with you do in the book well the basic idea of socialism is the elimination of class divisions as ultimately the basic idea of ecology is to restore some kind of balance some kind of health in the environment and what the 2 have in common is that both clash fundamentally with the idea that production decisions should be made on the basis of a search for profits you have to get away from the search for profits whether you're looking as an environmentalist or as a socialist and i think i feel in a way. in terms of the convergence of the 2 that the eco prefix is not really necessary it's implied in socialism however i think it's important to add it just for political reasons i want to show to emphasize to underscore the ecological dimension of the struggle for socialism to show that it's really in everybody's interest and what does it look like. eco socialism yeah what does that world look like what would you do talk about the book the vision
