We're having problems at our workplace. There's a person hanging the around the office (when they bother to show up) collecting obscenely large paychecks, and doing nothing of value to society. I asked an economist about this problem, and was told they're the most productive person in the firm. LOL! The economists' doublespeak is comical when it's not being used to sabotage a society.

From here it looks suspiciously like the wealthy took over the political system, gave themselves a bunch of tax cuts, and now we're sitting on a mountain of debt waiting for someone to tell these people to pay their taxes. If you understand this trajectory, you also understand why much of economics, and most economists need to be thrown overboard. An economist is a narrow minded accountant, a social engineer, and a non scientist. That means you don't ask one how it's going. They'll sell you into slavery, tell you it's good for you, and you're welcome for price gouging on insulin to run up GDP. As far as I can tell Capitalism is an ideological position. Economics, otherwise, seems to be at home in any number of totalitarian societies! This why we need scientists in the profession - to flush out the ideologues. If you're going to run your government as an undemocratic asset protection racket, you're going to have to describe this position scientifically, and stop hiding behind lazy ideological pronouncements.

I asked a PhD economists to explain how an automobile engine worked. He couldn't even start, but he drove a white SUV. What do economists say about planned obsolescence and the depreciation of durable consumer goods? What is Net Domestic Product, NDP? Karl Marx used the word 'depreciation' 35 times in the first two volumes of his major work. Where is the data on the annual depreciation of automobiles since Sputnik?

GDP is Grossly Distorted Propaganda There was this dude named Adam Smith who wrote this book *Wealth of Nations.* He used the word 'education' Eighty Times in that book. If you search the book for "read, write" you will find multiple instances of "read, write and account". One would think that he would be in favor of mandatory accounting in the schools but what Western country has done that since WWII? The economic cattle are only supposed to moo. They might make decisions to serve their own best interests if they knew accounting. They are supposed to believe in the "Invisible Hand" so Milton Friedman could slap us around with it. Smith's use of that term can be counted on one finger.

He uses the word "salience" a lot. Fancy way of saying "consequences". Argues that greater consequences wouldn't necessarily be a deterrent. I disagree. Send 'em to the pen surrounded by violent, hardened convicts to get turned out and/or shanked... These white collar criminals will think twice before doing anything that even remotely risks even the perception of misconduct, much less criminality.

@16:10 ... This elevator analogy confuses me. Who is moving up as the economy moves up? @16:25 ... "If you get on it, the escalator's moving up because growth in the economy and productivity" .... then how does he explain stagnate wages???? I read all kinds of stories of peoples dads starting a certain job at a certain wage 40 years ago, and them starting the same job now at the exact same wage with no adjustments for the 40 years of inflation and increased productivity. That analogy is BS. Now, if he wants to take that analogy, and add the aspect of people trying to run up that escalator while pushing and shoving other people clean off, then we may be a little closer to a more accurate analogy.
This interview with a student after a chaotic night with police and while still holding the line against them is why U of Chicago is seen as such a stellar academic institution…If he’s suspended or charged with criminal trespassing the faculty should have his back. He is the best advertisement for your University’s ability to create critical thinking and ethical citizens…DIVEST and get a new President. Cal Berkeley and Stanford have handled these protests 100 percent better. Of course at Stanford, the Grandmas are in the encampments also🤓 San Francisco State’s President has visited the encampment there and held open meetings to the public and agreed to have transparency in their investment portfolios. My older son is graduating from UCSC and they would rather call in Netanyahu himself than riot police…peaceful kids and lots of teach ins going on with faculty and speakers. My younger son at Cal Poly Humboldt had a complete disaster of this semester. Small group had a sit in in the admin bldg….which they have historically done before since Vietnam War protests. New President called in the riot police and the kids barricaded themselves in the bldg. campus shut completely down…classes cancelled, graduation on campus cancelled. 2 weeks standoff ending with a caravan of officers driving 300 miles from San Francisco. It was only then that I found out the President who gets paid almost $600,000.00 a year…has lived in Southern CA over 500 miles away and hadn’t been on campus for months! A seasoned high school principal could have holed up with those kids in a sleeping bag and listened and made some concessions that made them feel like they had some power for constructive change. Absolutely insane that college presidents aren’t on campuses. It’s like the university is a corporation like a hedge fund offering classes on the side for extra $🤨 kzbin.info/www/bejne/e6fGfayeh5yNoacsi=D8uN4dlYHKM7t9UU

Pretty incredible that Gamestop could be mentioned so many times without anyone bringing up the fact that it was shorted 140% of it's float by recidivist short sellers. The dissemination of "noise" aka short & distort campaigns was also glazed over nonchalantly. I wish you would have spent more time discussing "the reasonable belief" that recidivist short sellers can "locate" a stock. That "reasonable belief" leads us to another correlated topic; rehypothecation & the creation of what's known as a "synthetic share". When you combine abusive short selling with the creation of synthetic shares it in effect temporiarily adds shares to the float that were never authorized by the company. Supply & demand becomes egregiously distorted favoring the sell side. Now add market makers that pay for retail order flow using Bernie Madoff's PFOF & combine that with the fact that those market makers are also operating hedge funds...no conflicts of interest or front running could possibly going on, right? I'll leave you with a quote from Melissa Lee of CNBC's Fast Money said live on air regarding Gamestop, "Naked shorts, yeah"....

@Rob-fx2dw3 ай бұрын
Yes - MMT is an absolute fairytale - a fantasy belief that is underpinned by false observations and very poor thinking that is illogical. The evidence for me saying that includes their money story where MMt says taxes put value into and get acceptence of the money and the historical evidence itself in economies where inflation has rendered the money worthless there were taxes in all of them yet at the same time the money became worthless and rejected by their own governments and others. Taxes and worthless money is the indisputable fact that demonstrates taxes do not put any value into money and any conclusions that are drawn from that false belief that they do are therefore logicaly false. Additionally if the taxes made money more valuable then higher taxes would make it more valuable but there is no consistency of evidence of increased money value in countries where taxes have increased.
