As an African man that grew up in Africa and now living in the West, I couldn't make sense of WHY there was such a stark difference in inequality. I noticed people don't work any harder and are not any smarter in the western country I live in, yet they get to enjoy materially better standards of living? As I've gotten older I've come to realise and understand it a bit more. This video was excellent work.

@@peterbelanger4094 that's an interesting generalization to make without having any context of which country I came from or where I moved to. And I disagree, basic human needs should be met in all countries. As a result of geopolitical strongarming from Western bloc countries they have continued to impoverish the global south. Believe you me, I would much rather live in my own home country, but you need to follow the money to ensure a secure future for yourself and your family.

So, wouldn't that be evidence that neither democracy nor labor has the required intelligence to produce real improvement for the benefit of society? I believe the following is the foundational element that will help you understand and begin to answer the reasons why there is such stark difference in living standards. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Understanding the empirical fact of energy in the modern world. ( feel free to choose from any of the following ) According to estimations, the energy equivalent of a barrel of oil is roughly equal to the energy a human would produce through approximately 8.6 years of continuous moderate physical labor; meaning it would take a person nearly a decade of sustained work to generate the same amount of energy as a single barrel of oil. or One barrel of oil has the same amount of energy of up to 25,000 hours of hard human labor, which is 12.5 years of work. or FatCatWatch A Barrel of Crude Oil is Worth $164,000 - The Human Labor Equivalent of a Barrel of Oil I heard that in a single barrel of oil there is the energy equivalent of 23,000 human labor hours. This amounts to 12 years (40 hours per week) if vacations are factored in, so… Hard work A single barrel of oil can do what it would take me 12 years to do working with my hands? If this is true, oil is essentially “free” energy at the current price. I decided to check it out, as the claim seemed a little hard to believe at first. After some quick calculations from first principals (see below), I found that for a purely theoretical task, like heating water with a pedal powered generator, the claim is correct. It would indeed take 12 years of laboring to produce the same amount of heat energy as a single barrel of oil. For a task that involves producing mechanical energy, I made (what I consider to be) some reasonable assumptions and found that a human would take about 3 years to do what a single barrel of oil can do working via a typical internal combustion engine. Now if a person is getting paid a fair amount per hour (and allowing for vacation time in all the calculations) I conclude that…. The Human Labor Equivalent of a Barrel of Oil is $164,000 USD xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Feel free to do your own calculations based on whatever your choices above are. ( the date of the last entry appears to be 2015 ) Now comes the kicker: If you're in the United States, that figure is approximately 2.5 gallons of crude oil per day; roughly one barrel every seventeen days; or nearly 22 barrels per year.Feb 27, 2015 Taking the $164,000 human energy equivalent x 22, we get $3 680,000 in terms of saved human energy, or the equivalent of work YOU DON"T HAVE TO DO. This translates using the lower estimate of 3 years for mechanical energy to 66 humans per year to perform that work for YOU!!!!! Your actual potential contribution in terms of work is therefor 1/66th yet you are consuming 66x what your own labor can produce.

Our economy is like a flailing fish, fighting for its life. The normal state of the U.S. economy is actually very bad. Because of this it goes into convulsive spasms fighting to grow any way it can out of desperation. Tricks, gimmicks, rule changes try to stimulate the economy and prevent it from falling but they only bring temporary relief to people since, when you factor in inflation we are declining.

Inflation is gradually going to become part of us and due to that fact any money you keep in cash or in a low-interest account declines in value each year.

The military is a socialist entity that possesses incredible EFFICIENCY. That's the point in which any greatness ENDS. EFFICIENT: in wasting land, resources, the environment, money, and LIVES. It is sucking the life out of everyday people(!) Instead of being a shining example of using our excessively bloated military budget into fixing OUR nation, making a dent in poverty, and shoring up our infrastructure, the military "efficiently" wastes, wastes, and wastes. People/nations need to align to CREATIVITY and LIFE, rather than DESTRUCTIVITY and DEATH. It seems that simple. That's my two cents. Richard articulates the situation...to a T. Thanks, Mr. Wolff!

Two taxes, really, since the employer has to match the employee's contributions. The more insidious part of this program is that it provided information to the government on every employee, AND their employer, enabling the collection of the Victory tax ( 1942 ), which became a second tax on wages, as income, a rewrite of the tax code 26 USC in 1956, and massive government expansion that destroyed capitalism and the nation. Such is the legacy of "progressives" and one has to wonder why any sane person would want more of it.

Democracy is when those who make decisions on your behalf have the duty to ask for your consent first. Today's republics are actually modern oligarchies where the interest groups of the rich are arbitrated by the people, that is, you can choose from which table of the rich you will receive crumbs. The "fatigue" of democracy occurs when there is a big difference between the interests of the elected and the voters, thus people lose confidence in the way society functions. As a result, poor and desperate citizens will vote with whoever promises them a lifeline, i.e. populists or demagogues. The democratic aspect is a collateral effect in societies where the economy has a strong competitive aspect, that is, the interests of those who hold the economic power in society are divergent. Thus those whealty, and implicitly with political power in society, supervise each other so that none of them have undeserved advantages due to politics. For this reason, countries where mineral resources have an important weight in GDP are not democratic (Russia, Venezuela, etc.), because a small group of people can exploit these resources in their own interest. In poor countries (Romania, Bulgaria, Greece, etc.) the main exploited resource may even be the state budget, as they have convergent interests in benefiting, in their own interest, from this resource. It is easy to see if it is an oligarchy because in a true democracy laws would not be passed that would not be in the interest of the many. The first modern oligarchy appeared in England at the end of the 17th century. After the bourgeois revolution led by Cromwell succeeded, the interest groups of the rich were unable to agree on how to divide their political power in order not to reach the dictatorship of one. The solution was to appoint a king to be the arbiter. In republics, the people are the arbiter, but let's not confuse the possibility of choosing which group will govern you with democracy, that is, with the possibility of citizens deciding which laws to pass and which not to. The solution is modern direct democracy in which every citizen can vote, whenever he wants, over the head of the parliamentarian who represents him. He can even dismiss him if the majority of his voters consider that he does not correctly represent their interests. It's like when you have to build a house and you choose the site manager and the architect, but they don't have the duty to consult with you. The house will certainly not look the way you want it, but the way they want it, and it is more certain that you will be left with the money given and without the house. It is strange that outside of the political sphere, nowhere, in any economic or sports activity, will you find someone elected to a leadership position and who has failure after failure and is fired only after 4 years. We, the voters, must be consulted about the decisions and if they have negative effects we can dismiss them at any time, let's not wait for the soroco to be fulfilled, because we pay, not them. In any company, the management team comes up with a plan approved by the shareholders. Any change in this plan must be re-approved by the shareholders and it is normal because the shareholders pay.

Where did you get that idea? The claim is: "governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed." No type of government was specified...and a democracy is literally "rule by the people" by those in the majority. The U.S. is a "constitutional republic" and that means the "constitution rules". This is stated clearly: This Constitution and the laws made pursuant to it..shall be the SUPREME LAW of the LAND. The founders understood the dangers of both the power of government and the threat of democracy, which is why the powers of government were specific and limited, and "individual rights" were beyond the power of government to violate. Unfortunately, the people failed to remain vigilant, and the government ignored both the limits of its authority and the rights of the people. Now, the Constitution still rules, but accessing it and holding the government accountable for its violations is beyond the knowledge of the people as to the means to do so, and its all a fraudulent deception maintained by the Federal Judicary. You were warned!!! "Government is not reason, it is not eloquence, it is force; like fire, a troublesome servant and a fearful master. Never for a moment should it be left to irresponsible action."

I enjoy Professor Wolfe’s talks but his take on the so-called differences between the 2 US parties is almost infantile. If Democrats cared about reproductive freedom they would have codified it decades ago. And Union-Joe would not have crammed a rejected contract on the rail worker union. Their differences are theater. All material matters they are in lock step.

In the early 1980s, China undertook a massive reform that dismantled its socialist rural collectives and divided the land among millions of small peasant families. Known as the decollectivization campaign, it is one of the most significant reforms in China’s transition to a market economy.

نعم، العالم يعاد تشكيله شاملا و جذريا. نحن في مرحلة تحول ظخم، ليس له نظير في تاريخ البشرية من قبل، لا يقابله سوى التحول و التغير السريع في المناخ من ينكر هذا فإنه يسبح ضد التيار، تنهكه الأمواج فيصير غريقا حتى يقضي نحبه و يندثر و هذا ما يفعله المتشككون المتنكرون للواقع أصحاب النظرة القديمة للعالم و الواقع من حولهم، من قبيل أشباه القادة السياسيين في الغرب الأوروبيين الغربيين و الأمريكان، الذين أصبحوا تحت هيمنة أصحاب المال. فقد نشهد قريبا الهاوية السحيقة التي سيدفعون شعوبهم نحوها، ما عدى إذا انتفظت هته الأخيرة و أزاحت أصحاب الرأسمالية و أتباعهم المهتالين و الدجالين و المهرجين من نخب سياسية فاسدة، لا يهمها المصلحة العامة للأجيال المقبلة

Given the persisting global economic crisis, it's essential for individuals to focus on diversifying their income streams independent of governmental reliance. This involves exploring options such as stocks, gold, silver, and digital currencies. Despite the adversity in the economy, now is an opportune moment to contemplate these investment avenues.

The pathway to substantial returns doesn't solely rely on stocks with significant movements. Instead, it revolves around effectively managing risk relative to reward. By appropriately sizing your positions and capitalizing on your advantage repeatedly, you can progressively work towards achieving your financial goals. This principle applies across various investment approaches, whether it be long-term investing or day trading.

Our economy is facing challenges due to uncertainties, housing issues, foreclosures, global fluctuations, and the lingering effects of the pandemic, all contributing to instability. With rising inflation, slow economic growth, and trade disruptions, it's crucial for all sectors to take immediate action to restore stability and promote growth.

In particular, amid inflation, investors should exercise caution when it comes to their exposure and new purchases. It is only feasible to get such high yields during a recession with the guidance of a qualified specialist or reliable counsel.

True, initially I wasn't quite impressed with my gains, opposed to my previous performances, I was doing so badly, figured I needed to diversify into better assets, I touched base with a portfolio-advisor and that same year, I pulled a net gain of 550k...that's like 7times more than I average on my own.
