Viewer from Japan here. I can support Atrioc's point at 9:22 with actual data. While the slush fund scandal definitely played some role in 自民党(LDP) losing votes and a big role in Kishida stepping down. The fact that 国民民主党 (DPP) and れいわ新選組(Reiwa Shinsengumi) were by far the biggest victors of the election shows how much of a concern the economy is for the average Japanese, since these are the two parties heavily focused on the economy. 国民民主党(DPP) had an increase in vote count by 138% compared to the last general election and a seat increase by 154.5% れいわ新選組(Reiwa Shinsengumi) had 71.7% increase in vote count and 200% increase in seats. You can compare this to the biggest opposition party 自由民主党 (CDP)s' 0.6% increase in vote count and 54.1% increase in seats and the 自民党(LDP)s' loss of 26.8% loss of vote count and 26.3% loss in seats. Fun fact, the 国民民主党(DPP) actually won even more seats, but didn't have enough candidates to fill those seats. Funnier fun fact, right after the election the leader of the 国民民主党(DPP), 玉木雄一郎 got into a controversy for having an affair in which he says he got honey trapped...

Australian Zoomer/Zilllenial highschool teacher here. The kids I teach will be directly affected by the social media ban. I agree with a lot of what you said in the video about how it's a good idea in principle, but very hard to enforce and/or opens the door to government intrusion. And you're right, the real solution is to get kids off of phones. At my school, we can keep phones away from morning until afternoon, and it works quite well. But after that, it's up to the parents. And that is where the issue lies. Even though public polling says getting kids off phones is a good idea, no one, and I mean NO ONE, is talking about how it's the parents' responsibility. The parents I talk to about their kid's issues want to blame the government, blame the social media companies, or blame the kids themselves, but they wont own up to the truth that they are the only people who can make a difference and they're failing to do it. The government and our media won't run that story because they are the voting and listening base, and of course, the social media companies won't blame them because they're a part of their revenue source. We keep saying it's someone else's responsibility to keep social media/phones away from kids, but the truth is that parents are the only ones who can do it, and they aren't.

@Parthian6 Ай бұрын

I totally agree. Parents are failing to raise their children properly in current Western society. Part of that is due to the demands of both parents trying to keep careers going and not having enough time, but part of it is definitely complacency and some sort of societal shift away from letting your kids roam outside or sending them to the library or tinker with whatever is around and make their own entertainment. It's just easier to stick a screen in front of them like a tranquilizer drug, and the addiction is no less real. Once a kid is hooked to electronics it's extremely difficult to get them to have any sort of initiative to seek out their own entertainment, so it becomes a vicious cycle. Parents seriously need to be held accountable and society at large also needs to shift in a way that makes it feasible for parents of any social class and in any career to have enough time to properly raise children, not just to solve this oroblem, but also others like plummetting birthrates and childhood obesity.

One thing I would like to ask as someone who is getting a Masters in Business Analytics and has always been interested in economic foils. Could I suggest you do a deep dive into something I think many Americans and people of the world would be interested in. This could because of the scale be turned into a multi week marketing Monday or yearly super marketing Monday. 1. The stock market before Black Tuesday and the economic causes of the Great Depression besides what schools describe. 2. How the US government made laws to regulate and prevent such even to happen again. Such for example the amount of money banks should hold of your cash you deposit to them. 3. How in the Era of the US Government forever being a money printer with a economy that always goes up. We have one by one destroyed or let nearly every law that we made to prevent a possible economic catastrophe like it to happen again. If you feel like this is something you need help with I would love to help even if it was for nothing. Since it would be a great project for me to help make for my Master’s Capstone when the time comes around. If you don’t see this comment I may repost it in other future videos after a month or so. Only because this is something I feel like I only scratched the surface up and is more important than ever for people to know what worked and how we let business and political interests influence them. (BTW I’m not saying we’re heading for a Great Depression. This is more based on the idea that we have had protections to prevent such a big event, but because of us forever trying to prevent this from happening. All we have done is set ourselves up with richer billionaires who have only been rewarded for their fuck ups, while letting the lower and middle class struggle. While possibly setting the groundwork for an economic crisis that without the right people in charge could change our pathway of the US and World governments completely in different directions

@IamYuto Ай бұрын

16:00 What you’re saying about Germany, the AfD, and Europe in general really resonates with me. I grew up in Berlin as part of a multicultural environment and have always been observant about societal changes. In 2016, I left Germany and Europe to travel the world. It was a time when Trump was running for president, and many people in Europe dismissed what was happening in the U.S. as 'their problem' or even found it entertaining. But I saw deeper parallels. One of the main reasons I left was because I could already see warning signs in Europe-rising racism, economic struggles, and increasing polarization. When Trump was elected, many people I knew mocked the U.S., treating it as a joke. I tried to explain that these issues were not just 'American problems' but were reflective of a larger, global shift. Unfortunately, no one took me seriously. Now, eight years later, while still traveling and learning about the interconnectedness of our world, I see those same issues playing out across Europe: economic stagnation, social division, and the rise of far-right ideologies. What’s sad is how many people remain in denial, thinking that these problems won’t touch them-when in reality, they’re already at their doorstep. It’s disheartening to witness this ignorance and complacency, especially when so much could be learned from observing other countries and their struggles. The need for awareness and proactive solutions has never been greater.

Interesting perspective, I would agree that the world in general is becoming far more polarised but in comparison to America, I think most European countries are a couple steps behind them in this regard. Also with growing tensions on the international stage leading to wars breaking out (Russia/Ukraine, Israel/palestine, etc.) in my opinion this is the root cause for alot of issues western countries are facing. This has massively increased problems such as immigration, cost of living, and the economy in almost every country. Its no coincidence the majority of western countries are sharing a lot of the same issues. Also housing seems to be a massive issue in a lot of countries. I'm Irish (where housing is the no.1 concern) and a big contributor to this is the financial crisis around 2008.

I know the reasons why alcohol sales are declining, but the main one is due to the outdated 1920's regulations that drive cost per bottle up year over year. I work in import/export of spirits. Although the US is the biggest market, it's the hardest country to break into with quality products because each state gives 1-5 companies exlusive rights to transport it. It's called the 3 tier system (producer, distributor, retailer/bar/restaurant), it comes from the prohibition era, and creates oligopolies where producers have to court distributors with big volumes, otherwise they won't list you, or they will list, but they won't advertise your product. It is actually illegal for a brand to move their own product outside of the distillery, which makes it very hard to sell directly to consumers or small businesses. Not even talking about the outrageous fees distributors charge or unfair concessions they demand. So to go to 50 states you need to negotiate, haggle, coordinate, with 50 different distributors. It's simply too much work unless you *have a big budget and designated team. It's more profitable to sell elsewhere as an independent.* And remember that every time the product changes hands, they mark it up 30%-50%, so a small price change at the bottom of the chain like a *25% tariff*, just as a random example, can actually double final prices. Stock up on tequila and mezcal Edit: i forgot half a sentence my B, fixed it.

Atrioc is right about Japan. I saw it living here. Even after the church scandal, nothing happened. The slush fund scandal was just a news story. Everyone accepted a long time ago that this stuff has been happening since Abe (he has a list of financial scandals too). It didn't change his election results. No major political upheaval happened. Young people were annoyed cause older voters decide elections and they didn't care. The weakening yen is scaring people enough to push them to finally taking political action because they want it fixed.

@rileythornhill8191 Ай бұрын

I saw atrioc mention the Canadian dollar store dollarama, and mention that they are struggling. I’m a Canadian university student and my accounting professor uses dollarama as an active example of a company thriving, even directly saying that dollarama is growing faster than Costco , atleast in their accounting numbers. I think there is a difference between Canadian dollar store chains and American dollar store chains. the difference is Americans are moving from target to Walmart, and Canadians are moving from Walmart to dollarama for every non grocery visit to the store. A large group of people just can’t afford Walmart silverware, or cups. So they buy them at dollarama. I have absolutely no idea how I’m going to afford to move out of my parents house, I’m even lucky enough to be indigenous, so I get huge government Benefits, like my tuition is paid for, and I have a decent job serving tables at a restaurant. By all means I should be ahead, but it feels like I’m still so far away from being able to be independent.

I now make 24$ an hour, recently transferred to Idaho from california expecting the cost of living to be better, lost 2$ in pay in the process and the cost of living is litterally no different. Food and other retail goods are as a matter of fact more expensive... gas is the only thing that is "cheap". Housing is no different, me and my wife trued for a loan on a 200k house and were asked to pay 2500$ a month in mortgage.. shit is so bad.

While on the other hand, my german roommate explains the fear mongering and politicizing the green party has pushed to get rid of nuclear while in the middle of an energy crisis.

Thr correct thing to have done wiuld have been to push through keeping the already running plants open, while acknowledging that new ones are not economical and then push renewables in combination with battery technology.

The problem with people being upset at how the government is handling economic issues in Canada is that everyone is planning to vote Conservative next year. The Conservatives are the guys who created these problems to begin with. The Conservatives were the party that continually expanded the Temporary Foreign Worker Program, instead of only allowing in high-skilled workers, they were the ones who said "why not let in minimum wage workers too?" And who was it that killed Canada's social housing program? Conservatives there too. Conservatives are largely business owners and landlords. And everyone is like "Yeah these guys are going to help boost wages and lower the cost of housing!" Because you know the people who are most concerned about high wages and cheap housing are employers and landlords.
