[@cheeseninja1115]

a key fact to remember is that while prices did go up, a LOT of corporations used the media hype around inflation to price gouge further. So while you were paying 800% or more, the companies were making record profits of the real 16% increase in price. All by lying and saying it was inflation rather than their own greed. That's why we've been seeing a lot of prices decrease recently, as people have stopped buying at those ridiculous prices.

Housing it up what 50% NATION wide in 10 years, some areas that's 50% in just 5 years. Select groceries are up 50-100% and these assholes have the nerve to tell us it's only 16%

[@DSiren]

@@cheeseninja1115 Something more important to note is that in this case inflation has not hit the nation uniformly. Many of the price increases were nationwide increases by constant sums, not percentages - so the fraction of a person's buying power that makes up can be radically different between rural America and urban America. It may be that inflation was 'only 16%' nationally (which, bullshit, it had to be at least 25%), but if some counties are seeing 300% increases in cost of living while others are seeing only 10%, you can imagine how we get the confusion of some people treating this worse than 2008 while others are only 'gloomy'. There's also the fact that this is directly following what should have been a 'temporary' economic crisis in place of the universally expected "bounce-back"/"recovery" period. The MINIMUM most of us need to get back in line with 2019 is 4-5 years of 1-2% inflation simultaneous to a greater than 4% annual GDP growth, AND mass deportations to return the workforce size to pre-pandemic numbers. Alternatively, without deportations, we'd need greater than 8% year over year GDP growth with that same low inflation rate. This is partly why the Right is so obsessed with immigration at the moment - it's not just that they're taking American jobs and driving down labor prices, but they're also increasing demand for necessities of life driving cost of living up. The great disparity between this immigration and what we experienced during our golden age is that modern immigrants aren't coming with assets, they aren't coming with ambitions - their goal was to get here and any old job + welfare is satisfactory. This is a HORRIBLE pressure on the jobs market because people without assets/savings and without entrepreneurial ambitions not only DON'T CREATE JOBS, but also compete with the folks that WANT to create jobs for the working class opportunities. A coffee shop here or a toy store there might not sound like a big deal, but each would employ over a dozen employees who would be sustained by their wages. These kinds of small businesses being built, bought, and sold were what allowed the immigrant class to avoid being a crippling burden as well as establish themselves as assimilated groups. My fellow Gen Z and millenials love to complain how "pulling yourself up by your bootstaps" isn't enough anymore, but an economy where that isn't feasible cannot handle mass immigration.

Something about the 2017 tax cuts that’s rarely mentioned… it doubled the standard deduction from $12,000 to $24,000. That means that all Americans pay 0% in federal taxes on their first $24,000 of income. That is a huge break for the lower & middle class.

The standard deduction is the deduction every American has access to from square 1.

its not a take, its the truth, the economy is in a state of major growth, spending it up across the board, and wages are up, inflation is up but wages OVERALL are outpacing it, reminder that this is a look of the economy from the top, not any particular part, a look at all of it, on average people are having wages increased faster then inflation but heres the catch, all of this looks at the average, not the median, and that average is VERY much influenced by the top, big corpos and CEOs making billions of dollars, those are the people feeling the benefits of this booming economy, but as I said before, it doesn't matter who these benifits are being funneled to, looking at the economy without bias towards any specific people, whether that be CEOs or the working class, taking out every bit of bias and looking purely at the numbers, the economy is booming so its up to you to look at things, who are you, are you the working class? then you probably feel as if the economy sucks because your not feeling the benefits, but if your Mr. Jhon Business you feel great with the state of the economy right now

On the note of economic policy. People are extra gloomy, yes. Because a line going up on a graph doesn't translate to a better life. Making GDP maximization the goal of economic policy makes that policy bad. Goodhart's Law: "When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure." GDP is just the market value of all final goods and services produced and rendered. This is not a perfect measure at all. Spending is going up, yes. But perhaps that is related to the food itself becoming more expensive too. Wages are increasing perhaps, but they've still massively lagged behind the real costs of important goods. Finally, remember GDP was invented to argue landlords were unfairly taxed. In fact, an economy can run down its assets yet, at the same time, record high levels of GDP growth, until a point is reached where the depleted assets act as a check on future growth. The USA has done this. Which is where the 'shrinking workforce' would come from! The workforce is an asset, and it has been run down, the cost of raising kids is immense. The cost of living is huge. So people are working more, producing more for the GDP, just so they can live. And not reproduce...

Most of us are working class. If your wealth comes from an employer who pays you, you are working class. If your wealth comes from the businesses you own, you aren't working class.

Definitely true. Real wages have decreased by approx 6.5%. 31% cost of living increase with a 23% wage increase. If you divide 1.23/1.31 you get approx 1-0.065. The only reason it looks otherwise is because of rampant government spending increasing the money supply.

[@OneDivineShot]

I do not mean this in a rude way but let me try to explain this for you. In capitalistic societies, what determines the price of anything from food to housing is mainly contributed to what is called “supply and demand”. Supply is how much of something there is (how many houses are in the country) and demand is how many people want to buy that thing (people looking to but a house) These forces balance eachother out and arrive at equilibrium, which is the price of a product or service. This means that if you increase one side of the equation, aka you make more houses, then the supply increases. When supply increased and there are more houses to go around, then the price of said houses will go down, because the equilibrium shifts.

You don't want to talk about politics in this country??? 😏😏🤨🤨. YOU THINK YOU JUST FELL OUT OF A COCONUT TREE 😅

[@chaplainbeats7028]

I’m not a Trump supporter, but this was clearly biased in the opposite direction and left out a lot of important nuances.

[@92vm]

which part would say is biased

[@zebulaun]

you should be if its between the two, one is pro-white (or at least pretends to be) and the other is not, easy choice

[@mushroomanjcc1954]

​@@92vm The whole "the economy is doing better" part despite housing, groceries, credit intrest, etc

You guys gotta remember, increased GDP doesnt mean the quality of life increases at all for the citizens. And yes, wages have grown. But inflation has grown significantly larger than wages have. Thus making buying power even LOWER than before.

[@Lianhua253]

True. But that fault is not weighed upon the democrats. As an actual financial analyst, the fault is instead on the harrowing effects of the global pandemic, and the supply-and-demand laws which seized afterwards

[@jmanroXD]

You forgot an important thing- 2019 was the only year the US government has had a surplus in tax revenue since 2001. And another, the decreased energy costs also decreased many of the costs of living like food and water. Since then, our national debt has exponentially risen, and much of it belongs to our enemies. Should enough countries unite against us, we can be destroyed by said debt. My main critique for the video is that it focuses a little more on praising liberal policies and critiquing conservative ones rather than vice versa.

[@VirtualPhilosophyChannel]

I don't think you understand the national debt. Around 1.8 of debt is owed to China and Japan, with Japan having the larger stake of that at $1.1 Trillion dollars. This debt is held in US Treasury bonds, which have a specific term and interest rate, usually 1-5-10 year terms. This debt, is like any other debt. Think about your mortgage (if you have one...) or your credit cards (probably got one of those, right...) these debts are outstanding, but the full balance is not "due" today. It is due at maturity for Treasury bonds. These bonds can also be traded, so China can trade the bonds for their going rate at any time. Japan, is our ally. The other major debts owed in treasuries, are by our allies. You're entire point here, is a fabrication of your imagination my friend, and you should educate yourself before you panic, because you are not seeing reality. A majority of the world, will not turn it's back in the US. They have literally NOTHING to gain by doing so, and much to gain by allying themselves with this country. It is said to see so many people within this country misunderstand the things that's they are so incredibly worried about.

[@jaydub4314]

Good on you for waiting until after the debate lol

[@betterjustice6697]

Why's that?

[@Morbpious]

​@@betterjustice6697engagement, people will try to find places to discuss the debate or learn more about each candidate after said debate

[@edizzle445]

Yes he uploaded right after the debate. It's a hot topic. Don't hate the player, hate the game, baby. Just getting that bag

[@cactusjack2264]

I just simply go with whoever the media and celebrities are against 🤷‍♂️

[@HalloweenHalloween-sc4jo]

Trusting celebrities to media and celebrities as the sources of truth would require an IQ lower than then the fucking titanic

[@ironichoneybadger5066]

I'm so frustrated by the fact that I keep hearing that our economy is doing well, but that's relative to the GDP, Stock market, etc when I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING INVESTED IN THOSE THINGS IN THE FIRST PLACE how am I supposed to participate or be part of this supposedly great economy when I can't even get my foot in the door?

[@tulip5210]

This definetly was not unbiased. The reason i say that is 5-7 minutes in you talked about kamalas plan and picked selective things about trumps and went on to say why its bad, you did not do that with kamala. You then proceed to do the same thing with the rest.

[@Lethal_Spoon]

when something aligns with the audience’s bias, they will claim it’s unbiased

[@devilishgenius]

Alright I gotta go to bed cause I have to go to work and discuss the debate with my students. But imma download this video and watch it on the commute tomorrow

[@ijsbeermeneer9952]

Well i wish you fun!

Whatever level you are teaching, I hope this information goes into it too. I would’ve killed to have more information on what the hell they plan to do once they get elected more than who they are as a student.
