Best ted talk I’ve seen.

[@supernova2351]

He’s soo good. Funniest comedian out there.

[@padraigocobthaigh1770]

It's a rare comedian that has come close to Billy Connolly for his wit and incredible wealth of comedy gold but Kevin Bridges is right up there with Billy.

[@wayneplatts7733]

Couldn't have put it better myself. 👏

[@strutherhill]

Absolutely. And don't let's forget, from a darker, angrier, more political angle, Frankie Boyle. With those three, we're the Brazil of stand-ups.

[@Taylor___]

Two types of comedians. People who say funny things and people who say things funny. He’s the latter as is Billy

[@chrisryan5209]

His comedy is 100% better than Billy connolly hands down

[@craiganderson275]

​@@chrisryan5209jesus christ what a take this is. Kevin is great but he's nowhere near Billy. Billy is the greatest and it's not close. Kevin would agree.

[@probablygraham]

What is incredible about him is that he is this good without having spent years and years on the stand up circuit like a lot of comedians. He's just naturally funny and confident.

[@bam74]

He's the best stand up in years but he did spend years on the circuit before he made it big.

[@probablygraham]

@@bam74 - most of the "old" comedians played in clubs and pubs for many years before getting a break. He's so young that he can't have been doing it for very long. I almost get the feeling that his experience is 99% at school and down the pub with his friends (which he often suggests is the case in interviews).

[@boahnation9932]

Yeah it's crazy, he became popular when he was like 20, so young! Just proves he's naturally gifted

[@boahnation9932]

Man I don't say this lightly... But he's probably my favourite stand up comedian. Even in panel shows he's hilarious too 😂

[@andrewjohnson6716]

He presents it as a comedy routine, but he’s absolutely right. There’s something called “the velocity of money” which is transactions over time. The higher the velocity of money per pound, the better your economy does. Give money to poor people and the velocity of money is dozens of times whatnot is for the same money in the hands of rich people. That’s why am economy slows down, when there’s too much money in the hands of people who don’t spend it.

[@darrenglover1851]

You from the west end as well mate

[@stop9273]

Yeah and what happens when an economy grows too fast?

[@akgm4961]

@@stop9273 provided its stable growth, which increased public spending, and increased spending by the public would be, it'd eventually slow down.

[@jajajajajaja867]

There’s also something called inflation

[@mromegakiwi4952]

@@jajajajajaja867 it depends on what causes the inflation. In the OP's comment I assume it would be more of a demand-pull inflation, too many buyers and too few suppliers. If you have enough investment to sustain the supply without affecting prices then it could work. In Western countries we're faced more with a wage-price spiral. The cost of living is increasing so workers demand better wages, which in turn increases prices, which leads yet again to a higher demand in wages, etc. But all this would imply that you are in a closed economy. Globalised markets mean that we are highly exposed to international crises, just look at Ukraine. It's a small country but global food supplies are already jeopardised. All the economic theory is sound, I believe know how to make it work by now, but we just can't control international affairs and their effects on domestic markets.

[@tsgod6584]

I do hope the next Prime Minister insists he join as the Chancellor of the Exchequer. His views on building a bigger tax base for the country, with regards to Cayman Islands, reveals him as exactly the type of strategist we need in Number 11.

[@andyireland1968]

Omg I neerly took a heart attac with the last punch line. I was laughing so hard, what a man.

[@judechauhan6715]

His jokes are a legitimate solution to fixing an economy. It's people saving money that crashes it not spending. Give poor people a huge income weekly benefits and tell them to go ham because whatever they don't spend will get reset at the end of the week. They'll buy new clothes, live in larger houses, hire maids to clean those houses, buy more and better foods, toys for their kids... etc Then the real problem becomes sustainability for the planet and it's inhabitants, not how can we stop starving a planet with 3x the amount of food required being produced on it.

[@jackb5369]

He's funny but not an economist, that would ruin a country, if benefits were 1000 pounds a week then the lowest a business would have to pay their employees is 1000+ a week that would lead to thousands of small businesses going bankrupt and leading to more people on benefits and a bigger deficit overall. Although the items bought may be highly taxable they are not 100% taxable so only a proportion is returned to the government not the full amount. The key to having a better economy is to give incentives for spending to stop people saving lots of money and slowing down the economy, not lowing the productivity of a country by destroying businesses.

[@padraigocobthaigh1770]

I think Kevin was using it for comedy reasons not economic ones 🤣😂🤣

[@jackb5369]

@@padraigocobthaigh1770 that's why I didn't comment this on the video but instead replied to someone who suggested his ideas could fix an economy

[@liamcollins9183]

if benefits were £1,000 a week, everyone would quit their jobs, be lining up at the jobcentre, and not paying taxes on their income, to pay for those benefits, so Govt debt would soar, output would fall, demand would go up, hyperinflation ensues, and the pound would be worth about as much as the Zimbabwean dollar.
