Meme Accountant Here... A Giro was a kind of cheque used by the British Government to distribute benefits (like unemployment). People would wait for them to arrive so they could buy ciggies and beer before complaining that they never had any money. Bloody commies... ;-)
I disliked your comment come get me bro
@Brian Richman HE'S STILL ALIVE. BRIAN, BREATHE IF SIMON HAS YOU TRAPPED IN THE BASEMENT
A gyro is pronounced yur-oh, and it's a greek dish consisting of mutton, lettuce, onions, tomatoes, and a sauce of something. Simon you ignorant cyka.
Simon, since I’m no longer on the automotive airbag industry. I can say this, being a Quality Engineer for Airbag is Stressful........................
The fact Simon doesn't get straight to the point is 100% why Business Blaze is my favorite of all his channels. It just feels like I'm hanging out with a friend, and that has kept me sane in all this isolation.
legend.
If somebody wants Simon to get to the point on business Blaze, they have already missed the point of business Blaze💯 🔥🔥🔥

Judging by the state of the average youth these days, I'm guessing they removed that particular novel from the literature class rotations.
I had to read it twice in school, and I have an appropriate hatred of communism as a direct result.
@@GeneralNickles nope. They just teach that it's a critique of Stalinism rather than general communism and point people towards Orwells work like *The Road to Wigan Pier* a book by the writer of 1984 and Animal Farm that pushes for socialism and declares communism an inevitable state.
It's almost like they actually understood what Orwell was saying when they read it and you didn't.

Communism while Simon is on cocaine? Legendary x2
@@alissaholiday3724 So, plain old communism then. 😂
SMASH THAT DISLIKE BUTTON.
Have to agree. "The Death Of Stalin" is one of the best Movies ever made. Just absolutely brilliant.
Stalin with a Cockney accent alone is worth watching it for. And Steve Buscemi's as Khrushchev with a New York accent is great. Nothing worse than Actors putting on bad accents. So this was perfect.
"The Death Of Stalin" and " Jo Jo Rabbit" are two of the best Movies in recent years. Both were completely underrated and never got the Recognition they deserved.
Years from now they will be held for the genius they are.
The fact it annoyed the Russians (who banned it) just makes it even more of a must-watch. 😆
@Phantom Echelon
Exactly. That's a bonus.
They actually Raided the only Cinema that showed it in Russia. Lol.
Even though its based on a Comic book, it's actually all fact based.
The only changes they made were that they made it appear that it all happened over a few days, when it was a few months. But other than that its all real. And just so absurd. Just such a funny movie.
The son being an absolute idiot, and everybody clapping for ages after he spoke because everyone was afraid to be the first one to stop.
Even the Guards hearing him having a stroke, but being afraid to go help him in case it was a test.
What a cluster fcuk.
If you've never watched it please do.
And Jo Jo Rabbit is just fantastic. Such a great story.
I truly thought "The Death of Stalin" was a full on parody, but was absolutely delighted to find out the movie is 80% true as far as events went. I had to rewatch it asap and pissed myself laughing - woke my kids up 💀💀💀💀🤣
@laughingoutloud5742
Its amazing. One of my favourite movies ever.
Personally I think keeping the English/American Accent makes it all the funnier. Like Stalin having a rough Cockney English accent. But yes, it is mostly all true. It's just the timeliness that's off. So what we see take place over a day actually happened over a few weeks or months. But the general story is factual.
Like the female pianist did really write Stalin that letter. I think her brother was killed or sent to a Gulag for no reason.
Stalin's son was exactly as portrayed. A Grade A moron. And the National Hockey Team's plane crash did happen and he tried to hide it.
Stalin did make his inner circle stay up to watch cowboy movies. And Khrushtrev (Steve Buscemi) would memorise his jokes for the night, before getting his wife to transcribe
them so he knew what Stalin found funny and always stayed on his good side.
I knew it was based on a book. But it turns out it was a Comic Book. No joke.
Overall its extremely accurate. Its just appears to take place over a day or so, when in reality it's a few months. But its pretty accurate.
"The Great Terror" was as scary as it looked. Over 1.5 million people were either killed or sent to Gulags. The idea was just to imprison or kill people at random, guilty of innocent. So that nobody trusted anyone. If you don't know who to trust, then you're hardly going to organise a coup.
The worst was Beria, who they kill out back. He was supposedly the most evil sadistic monster ever. And into very young girls. Also think he headed up the KGB.
But he was just a remorseless sociopath, way worse than he is portrayed in the Movie.
It was banned from Cinemas in Russisa.
A Cimema that did show it was raided by police.
It's just pure class. I'd recommend to everyone.
@laughingoutloud5742
Another thing I always found funny, and you'll still see it in present-day Russia & North Korea, is the clapping.
After Putin or Kim Jong Un make a speech, there is endless applause.
It's for the same reason as Stalin & Mussolini in Italy. Because nobody wants to be the first to stop clapping in case they appear to be unfaithful. So they all just keep clapping like Seals.
Absolute madness.
The KGB just killed & imprisoned people at random, so as to keep you guessing who the spies were, without ever finding out.
But the Stasi in East Germany claimed to have had a third of East Germany spying. So 33% of the population were actually spies.
An old relative of mine was in the Automobile trade and they had to travel there regularly to make deals for Skoda cars, which were made in Eastern Europe.
So every meeting had real Company representatives, and also Stasi plants.
If there was only 3 Skoda Reps, they'd have to figure out who the businessmen were, and who the plant was.
Sounds grim.
When the Berlin Wall finally fell the Stasi also claimed to have the records of every single vehicle to have ever passed through to the Eastern side of the Checkpoint. And to have known exactly who the passengers were, and what they were doing at all times while in East Germany. Which is crazy with the lack of Tech available back then.
They didn't mess around. They were meticulous at record keeping.

What did it say?
@@telituby It doesn't really have a direct translation when the words are used together but its a common curse phrase that is on the higher end of the vulgarity level which is saying something. Working class Russian speech is crazy vulgar.
- сука блять (sounds like: suka blyat) means "bitch whore" but is more equivalent to saying "fucking shit" or even "fucking cunt" in American English. It's something you use as an exclamation, like when you smash your thumb with a hammer or get blatantly cut off in traffic.

Giro... benefit... I see what you did there! 😃
A Giro is a benifit payment, refering to the system used to pay unemployment benifits back in the day. Giros are like checks for people that don't have bank accounts. I don't think Giros are used for this anymore, but the name has stuck.

"Unions aren't Communist enough"

The idea that unions are communist is a laisse faire capitalism lie.

@@GarrettMoffitt GOVERNMENT IS COMMUNISM.
@@oddjam communism is when goverment do things i dont like. the more things i dont like the more communistier it is
@@GarrettMoffitt unions only replace where money goes, they are parasitic businesses. Why do you think teachers are so cripplingly underpaid despite so many funds donating to the educational system? because that money goes to the union heads first and the teachers last. You want to know why your bad teachers never are fired? Unions trying to maintain their staff for as long as possible, this applies to police unions as well. I think unions work exactly like mini soviet governments, except where the Stalin’s hide in the background making tons of money and the bureaucracy stops and progress and change from upsetting the power balance of the union so the rich stay richer and the poor members forced into a union have no choice but to stay poor, to them it looks like a great deal and the propaganda of the union tells them that.
@@GarrettMoffitt just like communism unions are a lie designed to entice the workers into throwing away what little amount of power they hold left into the hands of a few rich power loving individuals who are willing to manipulate them even further if they weren’t already being manipulated by money hungry businesses... some unions are better than others but some soviet satellites where better than others.

George Orwell was a leftie, but not a communist. Whenever he argued with communists and pointed out the abuses of the Soviet system, they would say, 'you can't make an omelet without breaking eggs.' To which he would respond, 'well, where's the omelet?'
Orwell was a Socialist seeing the exploitation in so-called socialist and communist nations.
@Arkady I am a libertarian socialist. I draw a specific line in what industries can or cannot be part of the free market. That allows many of the controls in the free market to be removed and allows the market to crash without jeopardizing the nation. I also advocate taxing the free market heavily and subsidizing the consumer through a basic income in addition to anything they earn as wages.
@@almitrahopkins1873 It was tried. The free market shifted production to lower tax jurisdictions like Ireland or lower wage jurisdictions like Indonesia most of which also have less regulation. We used to have national monopolies owned by the State and we had exactly the same problems only because of domestic monopolies and a lack of competition we wound up with worse products sold at a higher price than a free market would have provided. Personally I would fire all clergy since they're committing fraud seize the assets of all religions and sell them off to cancel the debts of the poor. I would also cancel any recourse of these parasites to the state to pay off their student debt because divinity studies and seminary education is crap. I certainly wouldn't pay those scum a pension or redundancy because I never wanted those arseholes employed in the first place.
@@almitrahopkins1873 Wouldn't that just be a capitalist system with a welfare state though?
@@stephhhie17 I prefer to think of it as a government-issue of currency to citizens to ensure that the primary resource required for capitalism to function is always there in abundance.
If done right, it guarantees that the free market always has consumers with money.

i want to share this comic book quote from suicide squad issue 11 from march 1988 Nightshade said "Commies for cocaine? c'mon"
Got to love a Business Blaze that is literally about the opposite of Business. Stay principled Simon.
Noted. Will stay principled.
I dunno.
Communism was an idea that was born from business exploding during the Industrial Revolution. So it’s kinda related.
Most business blaze episodes are typically the opposite of business.
Less business more blaze
Simon has not heard of Dallas! Alas, he will never know "who shot JR?".
God, I feel old......
Yeah most people who watch this video will not get this reference and sorry to say but you are old. So am I though so don't feel too bad.
@@slcpunk2740 The only thing I don't miss is shoulder pads and Jimmy Savile.
I was like 8 when JR got shot. My mother was into Dallas, Fantasy Island, and Knots Landing - and only 1 tv in the house🙄
I vaguely remember JR being shot back in the day, but have no idea who shot him. Google says: "Kristin Shepard, J.R.'s wife's sister and his former mistress"
I actually like the bits at the beginning of Business Blaze when there’s nothing about the subject and just on about Danny’s life 🤣
I can't believe I haven't seen the MAO/LMAO meme before.
LMFAO !
"You will own nothing, and you will be happy"
Sounds familiar?
people who want a communism lifestyle can just go to a capitalist country and then refuse to work and live on welfare its by far a better experience than communism but they also don't really own anything, so its time closest thing
"What are ya gonna do Danny, seize the means of production!?" Anyway, back to reading this script produced by Danny.
I know Simon was joking, I am too.
Dude, I love the opening “waffling” from Danny & your presentation of it.
I remember the old joke. What's green & white and gets you pissed? A Giro cheque.
"I don't want to share my opinion on unions because it'll encourage people to smash the dislike button"
*wearing smash the dislike button shirt*
true
Lmfao
I laughed so hard at this comment my ribs hurt lol
Smash-ception
I love the style of Business Blaze - I don't watch for information, I watch for entertainment. These vids are like going to a high class bar near a university where all the profs go: all drunk AF, letting all their bitterness out, yet still trying to teach lol
I always have mad respekt for sponsors that let Simon use the clip where he say he need to redue them
they are really good to me. Its not for effect when I say it. I really expected this to come back for edits.
@@brainblaze6526 I know that's why it is so awesome, also like the sponsor for that cereal! I was so funny and awesome that they let you do it like you do!
Continue as the legendary, boy with the blaze!
I want a half hour plus long Blaze that has a thirty second "It sucks!" conclusion. All filler no killer Danny!
Union membership declined and so have wages and benefits.
Because a couple generations got high wages, huge benefits, and pension packages! This bankrupted quite a few businesses. When the big 3 failed GM was paying out $380 million/ monthly, just on pensions! Absolutely unsustainable! Wasn't any persons fault, individually. just the unions got to strong.
If a equalibrium could be found then it could work! But greed will always prevail. I know people that just worked on assembly lines, and got $4,000+ a month at 49-50yrs. Old. So that's a lot of money to pay out. And for a job that requires very little training, or higher education!
My generation (39yrs. old) only dream of finding a job that will last 30yrs. And make $20-30/hr. Plus huge pensions! My friend retired from GM at 49yrs. old. He get $4,800/ month and medical insurance! That's insane! He wasn't a plant manager or supervisor. Just working on the line! It's not his fault. In my profession our contracts with utility companies last about 4 years. Then a different contractor typically replaces us. So we quit and go to new company! We call it changing shirt's! Unless your willing to travel you cannot build seniority! I had 5 years In when we lost contract we got out bid. Company said go to tennessee or Michigan. Or good by!
Anyways a combination of greed from all parties and political pressure caused this fake or unrealistic wage increase that those few generations have/ or got!
Theirs a book by a rich/ powerful lawyer- lobbyist!
I think it's called How our generation robbed the future!
A big part of that is the drastic decline of manufacturing in the U.S. Unions have since made some gains in the service sector but not remotely enough to make up for all those lost manufacturing jobs.
@@raitchison correct and we need as many high paying jobs good paying jobs as we can for a good stable economy! If it never if NAFTA never happened plus the other stupid/detrimental trade agreements, I would say that us manufacturing and the big three and other companies would still be doing pretty damn good!!!!!!
Again it's the politicians, we should always put America first just like I put my household ahead of everybody else's household or family however you would like to say that! That's how every other country on the face of the planet works.
just like the Paris accords for the environment of course France wants that because the cost of electricity will go up they get 98% of their electricity from nuclear reactors so they don't have to worry about emissions or standards and they export it's one of their biggest exports electricity and power to surrounding countries. So look how much it benefits them but hurts larger countries that are bigger and have a lot larger population base. Our government, it's just a joke!!!🤣🤔🙄😒
@@raitchison also immigration we cannot have people coming into the country in such vast amounts. While concurrently, we have lots of jobs going overseas!
The unemployment numbers they show on news are fake as hell and being so for a long time.
I'm pro immigration, but in the proper way, you know legally! It's very wrong and disheartening to the people in other countries that wait years or a decade to do so legally! when other people can just cross the line, wait a few years, then they're a citizen that can vote!!!
As soon as they cross the border they're eligible for $750 food stamps, $200+/- a few bucks in cash, housing, medical insurance, help with utilities Plus all other welfare options.
In the 70s 80s and 90s you had Mexican women that would come up to America and have their baby and it was born in America so it would get its birth certificate and then they would go home to Mexico and then when the kid was 18 he could go to America.
In the 90's this bankrupted 38 hospitals in one year in the state of California! (Article in readers digest I remember) that's not counting, all the other 30+ yrs. it was being done. Nor is it counting New Mexico or Texas. Think about that for a moment!
Then again the legal immigrants for the most part have good jobs and actually pay money to taxes in the IRS every year! The majority DO NOT receive a tax check at the end of the year! VS illegal immigrants! Who on average make $36k/ yr. But 67% of those receive welfare. At an average cost of $30k plus/ yr.! You do the research and math, and think how this will hurt us catastrophically long term.
It's almost as if the government is taking the country apart piece by piece.
Anyways I'm done ranting, peace I'm out
Unions suck, they're a trap.
Gyro- a Greek or south eastern European wrap commonly using thin shavings of lamb, shredded lettuce or other leafy green, and a spiced sour cream dressing similar to Ranch.
"Don't cry Stalin" sounds like a sequel to "the producers"
I never understood the "In a communist society everyone will be an artist". It just doesn't track. All the people who think that communism will let them be an artist and do whatever they want will be forced to work in a factory assembly line.
Well saying people will work jobs they don't want too is a bad argument as people no matter what economic set up you have, There are always class systems people wealthier or more influence than others and people who are forced to work horrible and dangerous jobs. Also using China as an example is bad as China has LESS social laws, support, and programs, than the USA a capitalist society. The issue is NO system of economic or government is perfect capitalism has laws to stop monopolies yet lobbing still can corrupt the system. there are taxes on capitalism though we do not actively mindfully and willingly pay into taxes or even get to choose where our specific tax dollar goes. If capitalisms was perfect we wouldn't need these laws. Every government and economics are just as mortal as we are and just as susceptible to corruption and cancers as we are. What rules and laws work for one society will not work for another.
You might understand more if you read any socialist theory, but for some reason people feel like they can talk about this topic with less than no knowledge about it. First, we work more than necessary, and overproduce. Capitalist economists of the 19th and 20th century thought we would have 4 hour work days because of increased productivity. Instead, that productivity is taken by the people at the top. Second, reducing alienation and giving workers more creative control over their work would allow more artistic expression in normal work. If you think China or the USSR was communist, you are wrong. They aren't even socialist, although that is what they call themselves. Communist societies don't have governments.
Exactly, people are much less inclined to do frivelious things when they have to work hard all the time and struggle so much. Historically arts and advancement of societies happen when people are able to specialize their time working for money in what they r best at, in order to later spend it on gaining free time to do what they enjoy like arts.
That's one of the biggest caveats to communism, poorer people believe that the redistribution of wealth will magically make everyone middle class or better, but the reality is that it simply makes EVERYONE share in poverty, not success. This of course stagnates culture, it does not help it flourish.
@@SelectHawk and real communism I think only works in smaller and closer knit communities, I think the biggest reason it failed was because they tried to implement it on a countrywide scale with millions of people, when this won't work because the differences between individuals would be far too great
@@SelectHawk By that logic we have never had a true capitalist society, because REAL capitalism requires no government control or intervention. Marxist communism requires massive authoritarian government control. The idea being we take over everything, force the laws on people, and then the government slowly fades away. Marxism requires authoritarianism.
The starvation in Ukraine was exacerbated by a ruthless government that confiscated what little grain that was available during the transition caused famine and sold it foreign for hard currency.
I love how proud Simon is, everytime he teaches us a little bit about this business stuff.
you're welcome
The relaxed, casual feel of these videos makes this my favorite of Simon's channels. TIFO and Megaprojects tie for second. (:
Comrade, it would be wonderful if you tried to get the DPRK to redistribute some of their great wealth to you and published the result 😂
