Superb Gary, your word will spread. I went to a very entrenched, high establishment, high social class profession at the Bar. Legal aid work, that I practised for 20 years is broken. Access to justice for the poor is next to non-existent. Barristers from low income backgrounds can no longer survive doing the most serious, life changing for clients, publicly funded work. They can only survive by representing the well off. I left the legal aid profession in 2015 and did a few months in international finance work, offshore sructures and the toothless FCA. The lack of regulation in the systemically corrupt city was truly breathtaking and I got out for moral reasons as soon as I got to grips with how the UK leads the world at inventing, aiding and abetting the rich, the powerful, the greedy and the criminal. Your work is inspiring to me to think of ways to get my experiences and insights across in a meaningful way. Power corrupts, we are in a situation here where all power lies with those able to abuse the structures we have invented, and facilitate to all of the rich around the globe. Well done, I hope that you continue to plough your noble furrow, to continue to burrow out truths. Respect brother.

As always a fabulous video. A few years ago I forgot who a multi-billionaire was interviewed and he was very worried about inequality. He felt if this isn't addressed economic meltdown, and civil unrest was inevitable. I used to think preppers were lunatics. They may be right.

The ZDF documentary as a whole paints a pretty bleak picture. It really, really saddens me to see the UK in its current state. But it's the bit at the beginning about plumber James Anderson that gives me hope. People only realize how important plumbers are, when they desperately need one. I know I recently did. And this cat? He founded a charity and does 60% of the work for free - for those in dire straits who need it most. Very touching. As long as we have people like him - and hopefully use that inspiration to act ourselves -, not all is lost yet!

It happens all across the world. It is just the built-in mechanisms in certain EU countries (especially in Nordics) have more durability. In Belgium bills for energy went up by 4-5 times, its insane what is happening. These prices will stay as well probably, no matter if there is cheap gas or not - so governments can fund the green economy later, trust me. There will be only kings and peasants left in 10-15 years. Gary is doing a great job at making people aware of this and some of us also share that grim vision.

I ask mainly as I don't have an economics background.

I was surprised to find out Germany has income inequality. Pensioners are entitled to state pension but no housing benefit or pension credit. This means those that don't own property have to rent. The pension sometimes doesn't cover the rent, especially in expensive cities. Documentary 'Germany's poor pensioners'. Worth a watch on KZbin, DW news.

Fun fact. The word 'real' as in 'real estate' means royal. Because all land at one point belonged to the crown. They then gave away just enough land to the smallest number of people possible to avoid an uprising, expanding the inner circle just enough to resist and push down on the outer circle. This sequence continued and you can trace it to modern land policies such as right to buy.

This is great Gary. The interviewers questions were straightforward and it’s a good summary of your views and objectives. Off topic… why do you always wear the same clothes when you are a rich guy? Like I don’t want to be rude dude but I’ve been watching you for a few months & you seem to wear the same beige coat, beany & nondescript tops and sweatpants, is it a political point? Or a point about how men can wear the same and not be noticed? Bc I noticed! Or is it bc you’re too busy socking it to the man you don’t have time to shop? Just wondering! 😆

Saying rich people don't pay taxes is nonsense. If they have a business they trade a good/service for money and they pay VAT, business tax on that money. Then they pay PAYE/NI, dividend tax to withdraw that money from their business. If they have stocks then they pay capital gains tax on realisation. The asset value will fluctuate before realisation so taxing before realisation only leads to complicating the tax code further
@markwelch35642 жыл бұрын
Obviously they pay some tax, but the real question is this After tax, can you have enough additional capital to buy _more_ assets? If you can grow your passive income from the returns of your passive income, then society has a problem. You reach a point where productive work isn't profitable because all the profit from work has been squeezed and redirected to passive income
@darrenchristian49872 жыл бұрын
There must still be lots of traders betting on economic failure. Where's their incentive to support better equality? Most owners of capital are greedy and this won't change unless politicians and politics is divorced from influence of large donors & corporations/unions and serves in the interests of the electorate. I don't see this happening.

I don't know what's going on with my brain and I think I've posted something like this before. I'm not like a cleaver person imo but I keep reading stuff and researching and much of the stuff Gary is saying is stuff I picked up on at the start of covid. I've over thought it and now I think I getting mental health problems as I'm saying to people about what's really coming. this is not transitionary inflation its here to stay for years. what about these people who bought their first house just fore covid and were stretching themselves as it was. With both inflation and interest going up what happens to first time mortgages after the 5 year initial rate ends and interests are up around 4.5% maybe 5%. with the current energy market crisis and the Russians basically diverting there cheap gas to China and India leaving the EU and the UK to suffer. If the brics block can consume the extra gas russia will have no need to send gas to us . I worried about my mum and dad and especially my sister and even myself. my car broke down and I'm having to dump the cost of the repair onto a credit card. can't buy a newer one as the price for something that still has a warranty is a joke. last point. the amount of companies that now allow employees to work from home are sending a dangerous meage to the high street which employs low paid workers. remember if less people make their way to work then that's less retail staff during the week or sandwich shops turning profit. I've already seen it. currently in my work there is a canteen it used to be very busy, sandwich bar etc but now with more people being allowed to work fro home they have actually done away with desks and brought in meeting zones that look like a IKEA living room/kitchen . they are relying on not investing in property but off loading employees to there own homes. this resulted in them closing kout bury St Edmonds branch and the rest of the staff working from home. they only come to glasgow when needed. its apparently cheaper to pay transport and accommodation than property. sorry Gary. my head is wired due to overthinking. somethings going to give
