Your vote means nothing in when lobbyism is legal. This guy keeps talking about voting, and thinks there is a democracy, when the cold hard truth is there is no democracy.
there is democracy, it is working exactly like all democracies always worked. a system is what it does. what you're seeing isn't a failure of democracy, but its purpose, its working precise as it should.
@@luizmonad777 Let me be clear. There is NO democracy. Your vote doesN'T matter. Why? Because Mr. or Mrs. Lobbyist comes along with a big sack of cash or cash equivalents and tells those "elected" people to do what they want. Simple as. You can "vote" for who you want, but your "vote" will never supersede monetary compensation.

Milton Friedman talked about the four different ways of spending money. 1) you spend somebody else’s money on somebody else - you don’t economize and you don’t seek highest value. 2) you spent somebody else’s money on yourself - you don’t economize, but you do seek highest value. 3) you spend your own money on somebody else - you economize, but you don’t seek highest value. 4) you spend your own money on yourself - you economize, and you seek highest value
Improved productivity is great, but not if it’s priced to gouge people. If corporations expect 20 % and 30% margins on a yearly income cycle, all the productivity in the world is not going to solve the problem. The problem is greed. Corporate greed, wanting to make 20 to 30% or more per year as an average gain is criminal when wages are stagnant or effectively at a net negative growth in relation to inflation.
@volakis1966 it's more than just that. Unions, regulations, osha, etc all play a part as well. Then you have the actual workers themselves. It's hard enough to find good workers who aren't aging out. Then you factor in the mindset that they must have higher wages just because. It's weird how everyone wants to blame the "mega corporations" as if that's the focal point of everything. The majority of these places are actually franchised and not making billions of dollars. For instance you're local Walmart or burger King is likely owned and operated by local people. However, everyone sees the name and assumes its one giant entity.
His assessment that politics is run by advertising free stuff to the voters seems inaccurate to me. It's more like a political candidate appeals to the interests of powerful donors to fund their campaign, and once the powerful donors have picked their candidates, the regular voters are left to choose between a handful of corrupt options.

Not that that matters anyways, an extra 200 billion on 30 trillion is literally fractions of a single percent of debt increase... AKA, basically unnoticeable. If you actually cared about the US debt, you'd name something that actually matters and drastically affects US debt like social security or Medicare/Medicaid or half a dozen other federal programs that actually affect the US's federal debt count. But, of course, you don't care about things that actually matter, because you're trying to make a narrative that we're spending "insane" or "ridiculous" amounts outside of the country on things that don't affect Americans, and that that's why we're in such a tough financial spot.

I grow vegetables for myself to make "stuff.". Ordinary people producing stuff at home, and not being heavily extracted by gov and by BlackRock, is sustainable. All these suburban lawns should be haying for horses and other livestock, and ultimately, the horse manure, adds to soil fertility. You see invasive vegetation everywhere that has to be landscaped. All that unwanted vegetation can be fed to goats, or cut straight to garden mulch. Growing vegetables is a soul remedy to the high fructose corn syrup dystopia.
I agree. I hate lawns. I'll know it's bad in the US when HOAs let people dig up their front yard to plant food and let them have chickens in the back yard. Ask North Koreans how well people survive on grass. Answer? They don't. Grass and hay are animal feed, only.

This truly is about 95% of what matters today. Very complex in terms of what is driving costs and unaffordability, but the main problem is simple. Until costs plunge by 50%+, the American dream is legitimately dead. I don’t see how more politicians don’t see this aside from being completely out of touch.
A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world's greatest civilizations has been 200 years. These nations have progressed through this sequence: From bondage to spiritual faith; From spiritual faith to great courage; From courage to liberty; From liberty to abundance; From abundance to selfishness; From selfishness to apathy; From apathy to dependence; From dependence back into bondage. - Alexander Fraser Tytler 1747-1813

Speaking of GMOs like they don't come with strings attached is very misleading. Just look at Monsanto and how aggressively they pursue royalties from their breed of rice.

After their contracts ends, they can always stop using Monsanto's seeds and go back to old varieties... but, there's a reason why the average farm doesn't.

The preponderance of Gov't spending that created this mess is unconstitutional. The idea a constitutional amendment would solve anything is ludicrous. The constitution is only as good as the people who make up the society it serves. If the people are capricious, reckless and ill informed no constitution will protect them from gov't or much more; themselves. An example: The seizing of bank accounts during the Canadian trucker protest was later ruled unconstitutional by the Canadian supreme court. Didn't stop it happening and no punishment was meted out for the violation.

@@JE-bd3wu George W. Bush White House Archives- How much has the government taken from the Social Security fund? The Government Has Borrowed $1.7 Trillion From The Social Security Trust Fund. The government has borrowed the total value of the Trust Fund to pay for other government spending.
Social Security didn't start with a loaded trust fund. The fund (there are two funds, one for disability and one for retirement) goes up when there is a surplus in payments in vs payments out, and down when there is a deficit. The money being paid into the system goes to the people getting paid by the system. I think people misunderstand the trust funds. They are just a buffer. There isn't a pile of cash in the funds. There are government obligations. So, really, it's not separate from the money printing problem. It's part of it. "Raiding" isn't what most people think it is in this case.
@@JE-bd3wu Social Security ran surpluses for many years, the money was supposed to be put aside for population increases in the future (now). But instead of putting it aside they rolled it into the general funds so they could give tax cuts to the rich.

I’m curious as to why in the first 5 mins Tom mentions Trump and Biden and how neither is giving a plan to stop the spending yet he did not mention Bobby Kennedy who has mentioned in his campaign all the issues he’s going to fix including the spending.
Except Trump massively increased the deficit and Biden massively cut it. Under Obama, we had steady economic growth, low inflation, and the deficit reduced every year. If he had a 3rd term, we would be paying down the debt.
@@garythecyclingnerd6219 the last two presidents had increased the deficit by more than all previous presidents combined and its pretty much half and half. Federal spending has not slowed down but the growth of the real economy has and the farther the two separate the more apparent the issues will be.
@garythecyclingnerd6219 this is a fantasy. I am not a fan of Trump, but no where does the data indicate we would be 'paying back' the debt if Obama's policies had only been extended 4 more years.

@02:07:55 Its not that GMOs are bad necessarily, its that some of the biggest disasters that happen to us have come from human intervention by a centralizing authority and on an industrial scale. The real GMO skeptics are skeptical of the claims that GMOs are "safe", because such a claim will only play out in time. We won't know the negative effects, if any, of those GMOs potentially for decades, so people should be skeptical of the "safe" claim. It's like how Fauci couldn't have known if the jab was safe or not, yet he loudly and proudly proclaimed that it was. Well it wasn't, and all the alternative treatments which were decried as conspiracy theories and doctors were silenced over them ended up being correct. I'll never give up my horse medicine. Be skeptical of things that have only been around in the short term. The negative effects sometimes take decades to play out. Just look at how bad vegetable oils and high fructose corn syrup has been for us.

"some of the biggest disasters that happen to us have come from human intervention from central authority on industrial scale" 👈🏽 💯 This was so obvious during the covid, like why force mRNA vaccines on people when millions pros & non pros are skeptical 🫤
Every breakthrough technology is a double edged sword by nature. They’re paradigm shifts that inevitably destroy precursor industries and replace them with new ones. If you recall he laid out his worldview on these kinds of technologies an hour before the GMO discussion and essentially said top down gov regulation cripples their growth and that these technological leaps are worth the risks as humans have historically fine tuned them over time. We don’t use lead pipes anymore, we don’t use asbestos in insulation, we rotate crops now instead of destroy the topsoil, we pasteurize milk, we have expiration dates on food, we have workers rights, etc etc. as technology becomes more groundbreaking it undoubtedly comes with higher risks but there’s no reason to believe we can’t combat them and we certainly shouldn’t willfully retard the trajectory of humanity out of fear of the unknown. Even our most prehistoric ancient hominid ancestors left the canopies of the trees and become bipedal. It’s not only philosophically unsophisticated to accept a certain threshold of technology as being the idea human condition it’s literally inhuman to do so. Our entire biological and civilizational trajectory is defined by rapid and extreme adaptation and innovation. Any reasonable and thinking person approaches new concepts with skepticism but GMOs have been on the market for 50 years and as he pointed out have contributed to a surplus in food resources globally and has aided entire swaths of the population. He used the gmo “golden rice” example to illustrate this fact. The same is true with vaccines and RFK has recently shifted societies understanding on them to a great extent but even he concedes that the risks, though present are minuscule relative to their net positive. He’s the biggest public advocate for pharmaceutical transparency in the country and even he doesn’t delegitimize the vital role they play in modern society. In fact every time I’ve ever heard him talk about vaccines he always makes a point to tell the interviewee/audience that him and his kids are all vaccinated.
In fact if i recall correctly RFK has never sued a pharmaceutical company to cease production or distribution of vaccines he’s only ever sued against willful deceit/coverup and refusal to acknowledge adverse symptoms and compensate victims.

Why do I never hear from economists about the huge waste of tax payer money that goes to supporting other countries like Israel and Ukraine? The amounts are enormous, spent on warmongering, supporting regimes, and its led by the lobbists in Washington who in turn, are getting ungodly wealthy on the back on average Joe.
Because most of that money doesn't go to those countries, it goes straight to US companies with military contracts who make the weapons that we then send to those countries. The corrupt politicians are getting their share of those profits so they will always vote to "send money" to those countries.
Because it's such a small %.. waste? Absolutely.. and I hate it as well, our foreign aid to dozens of countries is bullshit and we pay most of NATO, the WHO and so on.. but we've gave ukraine 200 billion in 3 years, of 34T debt that 200B is only 0.7% of our debt. So it's nothing.. BUT 200B shouldn't be going to help americans
The fact we give these countries so much money actually artificially props up the value of our fiat currency. Once we give someone a free billion dollars, they spend that money and the people that they purchase from also spend that money. It’s a joke way to maintain value though.
If you want to maintain super power status then you got to give freebies. If we don’t, some other power will. Create a vacuum, some other power will fill it in, and quickly.

seems so cyclical. wars themself cause mass deficits due to gov spending, debt etc.. however wars also stimulate economies and post war reconstruction efforts stimulate exports... and the cycle goes on.. and on.. and on... draw a timeline of US wars and budget status it's interesting. something like this: 1939 1944 1949 1954 1959 1964 1969 1974 1979 1984 |---------|---------|---------|---------|---------|---------|---------|---------|---------|---------|------------|------------| |--WWII--| |-----Korea-----| |---Vietnam---| |---Gulf War---| |---Deficit---| |---Surplus---| |-----Deficit-----|---Surplus---| |---Deficit---| |---Surplus---|
It's more likely that they print at least some of the money as a consequence ultimately of demographics (as Raoul Pal and others have argued for a while now) - to compensate for lower workforce participation, which has been trending lower for 50 years.

This all sounds great but then there's Knoll's Law. His discussion of cancer therapies that are coming up is, um, rosy. I can absolutely guarantee you that they will have more side effects than he's suggesting. One of the things he discusses, "reprogramming T cells" comes in a flavor called "CAR-T" (Chimeric Antigen Receptor Therapy) does work quite well but it has a often ignored side effect of causing T-cell lymphoma later on in a surprisingly high number of cases. Why? Truth is, we don't really know. The fact that we don't really know the "why" here should be concerning because, ultimately, it means we're playing life and death games with things we don't really understand. Now, in some cases no one cares because the current cancer would kill you anyway so the risk is worth it. But smoldering myeloma is a perfect example of something where the statistical risk of the treatment is worse than the prognosis of the disease. (Unless it goes beyond smoldering.) Which isn't to say that we shouldn't be doing this, but we should tread very carefully and we should not oversell anything. One of the things to be careful with in biology is that there is no free lunch. When you "improve" something drastically you're generally borrowing from somewhere else. If you deplete the resources "over there" we're going to call that a "side effect". Many of them are going to be really rather nasty. There are some really cool things that don't seem to really cause problems because they don't really "borrow" from anywhere. BH3 mimetics come to mind, for example. Yes, cancer therapy has come a long way. The people talking about how awful things are, mostly, are talking about decades old things and ignoring the newer stuff. But the newer stuff is often oversold as a "miracle" and really, honestly, doesn't do much. There are several types of these drugs (I'm thinking of certain kinase inhibitors here) that, statistically, simply prolong life a few months at enormous cost and if we're honest, they do produce quite a bit more suffering by allowing the person to survive longer than they really should but without actually really doing much FOR the patient. Which doesn't mean that they don't work in some cases but they're oversold to patients.
He's pretty casual about stating that, in the course of all these "revolutionary" treatments that some people will die. I'm sure Mengele felt the same way. But.. let's not hinder "progress.."

Comparing one fiat currency against another, and saying one has gone up in value against the other, is like being on a sinking ship in the ocean and looking across at another ship that is sinking faster, and thinking you are being lifted up. In this scenario something with intrinsic value, like gold, can be compared to dry land, which is not sinking.
