    My mum is allergic to apples and oranges. Apple is one of the cheapest juices. She gets periods of hypoglycaemia, most effectively treated with juice. The juices she's traditionally bought for this have slowly been replaced with stuff that is the same but the ingredients show it's mostly apple juice. It used to be that more than half of the juice in the grocery aisle would've suited her needs as there would be things like mango juice, pineapple juice, grape juice, etc. Now the mango juice has apple, the pineapple juice has apple, the grape juice has apple, and the berry punch has apple. I know it's a very niche situation for this one specifically, but it's something I've heard from other people with other allergies as well, anyone unlucky enough to be allergic to a cheap ingredient has seen their options in the grocery store get chipped away at as companies choose to substitute ingredients that were previously fine for cheaper ingredients that could cause serious reactions.

    I blame useless MBA people & stock owner focused world view that was started by Jack Welch (GE CEO).
    And don't get me started with the "companies cannot invest without stock owners" If companies would divert the money from divident payments into investing into the operation, there would be much less need for bank loans and stock listings. Companies should be allowed and recommended to save up money for a larger investment (a new factory)

In a slightly unusual way of a compliment, I hope your channel grows so advertisers fight for exposure to your audience, which I hope will be large.

    I do wonder how much of this is caused by each level of the supply chain worsening their standards and that it isn't just hard for consumers to find quality products but every level of the supply chain is impacted by the downstream ripple effects of those below them. I know that this is at least partially the case for people buying fabric to make clothing. They had been using the same company for decades and it got worse recently, they talked to the wholesaler for fabrics who said that they themselves noticed that they were having greater losses in storage because the quality was worse than it used to and that there wasn't a single supplier they could recommend buying from them that would definitely do better and that they themselves were searching for new factories to buy from but the factories themselves were saying they were having issues with the quality of the their wool, cotton, linen etc.

  • @alexclifford2485
    @alexclifford2485 День тому +5

    Agreed! But the solution has to be becoming more self-sufficient. Become less dependent on big companies. Learn DIY skills, learn to fix and make things. Learn to grow some of your own food. Torrent and set up a media server with Jellyfin. Shop around on your bills and supermarket spending. Learn to cook your own food rather than relying on restaurants and delivery services. If you're travelling or staying somewhere regularly look for somewhere you could rent from the owner direct rather than Airbnb. Create rather than consume with your leisure time. Some of the stuff on Temu is crap and poor quality - but some of it is actually brilliant and 10% of the price. There is a lot of middlemen in our economy and we can bypass them.
    Corporations, banks and governments will become increasingly oppressive, wasteful and ensh*tified. It's up to us to create systems and lifestyles that enable high quality of life, things we make with love, and have resiliency from the grid and collective societal decline.

    • @pendlera2959
      @pendlera2959 7 годин тому

      A better solution is government regulation for quality in products, incentives/disincentives for executives and stockholders to not seek such high profits, increasing/protecting employee wages, and greater legal liability for companies that produce low quality products and services. Self sufficiency isn't sustainable because working together is just way more efficient. Otherwise, society would never have formed.

    The video was good at first, but I started noticing more and more inaccuracies which made me feel like you have not researched anything well enough.
    Here are just a few of the things i noticed 5minutes in.
    Sweden does not use the Euro, yet it was pictured as doing so in the inflation map of Europe.
    Palm oil is not inherently bad for health, unless it’s palm seed oil. It’s the seed oils, such as rapeseed oil and sunflower oil, that are considered unhealthy and are very cheap. These are the oils that palm oil and other oils are being replaced with. Palm oil has been replaced in just about everything here in Sweden and replaced with these cheap and horrible seed oils.
    Tesla is NOT known for having an unrealistic starting price. I think you might have confused this with the price Tesla reveals when unveiling a new model, which is usually much lower than the actual price at release. This is because Tesla tends to be overly optimistic about what they can realistically achieve, not because there are options that double the price. In fact, Tesla offers fewer options compared to other automakers, typically just two for each model (performance and long range), with very few additional choices.

    Do you have a source for "the majority of consumption in advanced economies is services, not things"? I know services have grown, but compared to things like buying a car, buying gas and groceries, and housing I don't see how services could possibly be higher.

    So, what is the across the board cost that affects every product and service?
    It is the government. The rising cost of government is what is killing every industry.
    What can you do about it?
    Nothing. Now pay your taxes.

      The profit of every company functions just like a tax on the employees. If they got paid more, they could afford better quality goods and support quality business practices. But that gets claimed by the executives and shareholders as profit. That profit is stored in banks which then lend the money with interest to the people who created it. This is much more harmful to the economy than government taxes.

      @@pendlera2959Yes that’s not the case for all companies. Shareholders also create the jobs in the first place by giving their money to build factories, do marketing and research etc. and in turn want to earn money. There is nothing wrong with that inherently. The work force should also have power by participating in company decisions and most importantly by choosing where they want to work (often also profit oriented). Something got out of balance here. Not 100% sure what but my guess is that companies get bigger and bigger and can dictate salaries and forget that those salaries will be used to buy thier stuff again. Lower salaries results in lower purchasing power which results in lower quality of goods.
      I am trying to say: It’s complicated and there are no easy solutions

    You are using the communists explanation for Inflation.
    It is NOT the generalized increase of prices.
    It is the currency's loss of aqcuiring power.
    One definition blames the companies, the other blames the state.

      The first blames the companies.
      The second blames the state because they control how much money they print which brings down the value of money. Therefore it's the correct definition.

      @@marcorc5167 Companies are watering down their products regardless of how much money is being printed. The companies are competing for shareholders, and the shareholders are looking for companies that make as much profit as possible, preferably more profit year over year. This is unsustainable, so companies are cheating customers in ways that decrease the purchasing power of their currency. The companies are at fault here, so it's appropriate to use a definition of inflation that blames them.
