Well it’s true that the only people generally who simp for billionaires are contrarians. Libertarians would say all modern billionaires are made through government subsidies and are therefore illegitimate Socialists would say they’re stealing from their workers because they have more leverage Even most of the founding fathers warned against wealth growth to the point freedom was no long preserved. Unless you want to make the argument Jeff Bezos is a million times better at business than the next best businesses man. You could make that argument. Bezos himself would disagree, he himself said it was by far mostly just “right place right time” that’s why he calls it “his winnings”. So redheads point is pretty sound. Billionaires existing at all is a glitch in the system. We can argue about how they come about and what should be done about them.. but really only the simpiest of simps say they’re a good thing. And of course contrarians.

In the "Productivity" stat...does no one realize that overall automation also way effects the stat? Many jobs were changed to automation, so much of the "productivity" isnt even done with human hands.

[@RipOffProductionsLLC]

My mom thinks unemployment rates are a good thing, because she thinks unemployment is generated by productivity of workers/automation becoming so effective that all of society's needs are fulfilled without those unemployed people needing to work, because if society had an unfulfilled need, jobs would open up, and the unemployed would get hired to fill them, therefore 10% unemployment is 10% progress towards the fully automated slacker's paradise where only workaholics have to work(and even then, it will only be like, once a month when something brakes) My mom is a weird woman, I know.

[@crispyandspicy6813]

@@RipOffProductionsLLC A fully automated society would never happen because it would lead to deflation. If it would cost nothing to produce X amounts of goods companies would have to sell many many many times that amount just to break even. However since not all goods have the same relation to demand once consumed it would saturate the market and plumment the price of goods. This actually happens when you hear farmers having to destroy crops because the produce is worth less on the market, than the per unit cost of production. Just because you overproduce something doesn't automatically mean the economy booms.

[@HOVNA]

​@@crispyandspicy6813I feel like this is the problem... We seem to forget that the economy isn't an actual rule of the world, it's a game we made up. A game that seems to be illogical for survival and is only good if it earns profits. Those only go up. Sounds like feudalism that is destroying surplus food instead of feeding people. I don't know, it sounds awful and instinctively wrong and fucked up in a lot of ways. Like, this can't be the BEST we can do.

[@slydoorkeeper4783]

Yep, Dev even brought up an example of unloading trucks. Just compare the manual jacks to the electronic ones. Sure the manual ones could go faster if you're pulling light pallets, but there is a certain point in weight where it gets really hard to move them without aid or just using an electric one. This is speaking from experience.

[@RipOffProductionsLLC]

@crispyandspicy6813 well, if a society hit 100% automation, people aren't buying or selling things anymore because they don't have jobs and thus don't have payment. Either everyone gets everything automatically, or they have ration/credit allotments for luxuries, or something like that.

If you become provicient on the machine and get more capable you are worth more. But it is the owner of the company that provided the means. I guess thats why they hate farmers so much these days….

It also just falls flat when there are simply people who are better at performing tasks than others, whether that is due to prior training/experience, or natural talent.

Productivity has increased greatly since 1979 because most businesses use point of sale transaction software, which means accounting no longer has to be done entry by entry.

That's crazy.....I would love to hear how this guy explains Division of Labor..... The idea that the economy is a zero sum game baffles me.....we ALL benefit from the inventions and innovations brought about by billionaires. Amazon for example has made life EASIER for everyone. We all experience as massive benefit.....why does anyone care that Jeff Bezos has money for it, when we all better off for literally ZERO effort or risk on our part THE ECONOMY IS NOT A ZERO SUM GAME

[@ragnarok7976]

Plus you can always choose not to purchase from them... If you claim you can't live without them then you aren't being oppressed by them. So many of these people shop exclusively on Amazon and then complain about how rich Bezos is... Yeah, you made him that way.

​@@counterdomIf you can't afford it now, people who are competing for your dollar will usually create more supply and reduce the cost in the process.

I wouldn't personally have used Amazon, but then again there's few companies I can readily point to without having a personal problem with their founders. Paypal comes to mind, though. Revolutionizing the entirety of online commerce by allowing you to actually trade money over the wire instead of through the phone.

[@doctorgrubious7725]

also the whole productivity argument is dumb because mcdonald's for example, is a stupidly easy job, you literally put patties on a grill and HIT A FUCKING BUTTON, I worked there for 2 months before quitting cause It was cringe to work there, I did all the jobs there and like the hardest there is being the cashier because you have to hit more than 1 button, yet these mfs wanna get paid more than 10$/hr to hit a goddamn button

[@waltersoares4264]

The biggest problem with these people is that they see “300 billion dollar” on Forbes and think that's cash. That's actually a bunch of workers on a paycheck, a bunch of machines and supply chains. Even if you could distribute the “riches”, it would just destroy the value because half of a falcon9 on your garage is just trash, not a valuable asset

05:04 After saying that the difference between 64.6 and 17.3 % is "almost 50%" he now goes on to say "50% or more". I hate when people inflate or reduce numbers at will to push a point. Being specific and exact is important, you lose all credibility when you can't even keep numbers consistent.

Most Instagram reels I got of the redheaded guy was him pointing out dog whistles. None of the comments understood that the reason why he was apparently getting so much of these was probably because of trolls messing with him much in the same way a tiktoker who did wood art kept getting really weird pictures in the mail. I genuinely don't remember what it was I watched from the guy specifically, but it was apparent that how he portrayed himself generally read off as "easy target to troll".

Agreed with many of your points but you forgot to multiply your percentage calculation by 100 which is a pretty big difference

[@presentfactory]

Ye I was about to comment that. It's actually 0.1%. Still not a huge number and pretty good compared to the rest of the world though (then again most places are better than say third world countries). In addition a nationwide average is disproportionately burned by states like California and the like which have multiple times more homeless people per capita than most the other states, so it's important to remember that too.

[@ragnarok7976]

​@@presentfactoryAlso the quality, size, amenities, etc offered is not going to be the same in all countries. You could make the argument that the majority of people in some third world countries are actually "American homeless" if you consider the actual quality of life their homes offer by comparison.

[@debanydoombringer1385]

@@613harbinger316 I can't tell you how many people I've had to correct in the comment section about people starving whenever there's a video that talks about food in the US. Nobody starves to death here except if it's abuse. That's why they have to resort to "food insecure" and other type language. It never fails though someone will be in the comments freaking out about people starving.

[@Naxela625]

You're missing something about the productivity discussion still. As businesses invest more capital, workers have access to more technology to make them work better. The increase in productivity is just like the example you gave of someone digging with a shovel versus a backhoe. More businesses are able to invest in more backhoes, resulting in higher productivity. The workers themselves aren't increasing productivity by their own merit alone.

Homelessness is not a problem you can solve by just throwing money at it. A signifigant portion of homeless people either do not want housing or aren't in a mental state where they can maintain a home.

or the fact that like... basically everything we do now is so efficient that the newer generations are actually losing their ability to problem solve because we have worked out so much shit since the 80's, I haven't seen a blue screen in my entire life, and I fix computers as a side job.

Also, Dev: you have to multiply by 100 to get the percentage. So, it's 0.15%. Still a fraction of one percent.

85% of this video can be summarised with: "The higher up the food chain you go, the more money you are responsible for extracting from people; therefore, you make more money the higher up in a company you are. Stocks allow for companies to expand by giving people the ability to gamble on their success. It would cost more than 20 billion to solve US food insecurity."
