I became a freer man the day I stopped feeling sorry for myself.
Amen, when people realize this is the time tey can move forward. Unfortuneyl, the parties pit everyone against one another for votes.
Same. When I was 20 I was in a mess. I thought the world owed me everything and I even ended up in prison at 22.
I'm 27 now and bought my second house in cash last year after getting a proper job. These idiots really need to start thinking for themselves.
No doubt! Me I'm brotha
Same.
mrdojob amazing turn around sir, you should write a story or talk to ppl that are in your position you were before.
I just realised why rich people don't talk to poor people about money
Underrated comment
Great comment
Did you realize it is because one can only pretend to be doing another a favor for so long while exploiting them before that fact becomes obvious? If that wasn't your realization you missed.
@doug dimidome Exactly, most of them probably can't even hold a minimum wage job.
You ain't lying 😂, Peter is a good dude! A multi Millionaire that actually cares about educating people. He's one of the Goats
Most people do not listen with the intent to understand; they listen with the intent to reply.
I agree.
21:11
Dang that’s hott
True. But then I wonder if we agree on who was most guilty of that in this scenario.
yep instead of listening to the businessman who knows more about economics than everyone there combined they interrupt with cheap punch lines, but well they are blinded by their hate. We are all humans after all.
@@papipalinka3991 Why is it you imagine he knows more? Because he is rich or because he is educated? Both are conventional elitism by the way and neither is valid.
I am suddenly reminded of a quote:
*"The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter." - Winston Churchill*
The most employable people on Earth. They love working, they're grateful, and love hard work. (and WOW smart!). lol.
_"Instead of eloquently explaining what "MEME" means... he MOCKS Peter. lol._
Imagine if he instead said, _The concept of a 'meme' was first popularized by Dawkins' _Selfish Gene,_ but has taken like 25 years to start catching on. He used it to make an analog of a gene, passing phenotypic traits by Mendelian statistics ... whereas MEMES compete for people's desire to replicate itself through conversations (similar to how genes do but _sociologically_ ) ... to spread itself based on it's competitive advantage.
Then, his dummass demanded people listen to his REMEDIAL ideas that he YELLED. Not realizing WALMART plays within the rules the GOV MADE regulating employee healthcare policies.
Think about how eeeTARDED-RAY he is ... he has a RARE opportunity to LISTEN to someone that is unlike ANYONE he not only knows, but ever has or WILL know. Yet, he wanted to hear himSELF talk.
He flips out bc the EPA or Dept of Edu are VERY bad ideas ...
But he never ONCE explains why they're necessary.
_"I wanna have a conversation n ax you su'in."_ (Instead of just asking):
Via TIGHTLY LINKED POINTS,
(SKIP ALL OBVIOUS POINTS)
...That UNAMBIGUOUSLY LEADS TO a CLEAR CONCLUSION.
Not ONE PERSON there had that ability. So it is NO MISTAKE that they are resentful, don't know how to make money, and are broke.
Running ANY business in which ALL TAXES ARE. PAID TO THE TEE ... is INORDINATELY EXPENSIVE.
But look who's here axin fu hand-outs !!!
A guy who has no confidence that he could find an email on the internet !!! lol.
Guaranteed his EYE CUE is within a SD of at MOST ... 85 (but probably far less).
Churchill the racist warmonger that killed thousands of Indians and innocent German families, is he suggesting we have a non democratic election? yes there are a lot of fools out there.
Wow, just wow. I can't say he was wrong
The Founding Fathers were right to institute a republican form of government. Processes such as voting and elections are vital for the public to express themselves politically, but when it comes to governance, decision making should be based on expertise rather than mob rule. A republican form of governance tries to strike a balance between having the voices of the people heard and having effective governance by technocrats.
@@gregelguapo2661 10 minutes in and I can say he's wrong on some aspects.
This dude is so 1% that he has another dude holding his sign for him
Thanks for the laugh
He actually said it himself "I could actually be in the 1% of the 1%" lol
The guy holding his sign probably a 5%.
😂😂😂
Dude...I laughed so hard reading this..like.... bbbbahahahahhahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahah
Nice lol
This is why we should teach economics and personal finance in schools.
This is exactly why we don't. Government wants the people dumb and numb. It's in their interest for people to think that bigger government = better government even though in reality it's the road to ruin.
Jake Steelman they do
@@heretic124 This was exactly what famous millionaire robert kiyosaki said in his speech that broke the internet. Schools teach you to become tools of society, they don't want you to become good with money...only good at your potential future job
@@heretic124 You have to pass a financial literacy course in most high schools in order to graduate
This is exactly why government funded public schools and government guided curriculums DONT teach finance. They teach you how to be a worker, a laborer
The patience of this man is absolutely insane.
Kevin Mulloy underrated comment that black guy talk about slavery doesn't let him finish a sentence always cutting him off.....
I'm black by the way don't pull that racist card shit on me I'm not talking about u but the others that's might
Kevin Mulloy omg and the old guy with the blue sweating is annoying "your fired" 39:09
Big Boss bro it’s incredible how people act today. People literally can’t see that he’s agreeing with them and on their side, he just wants them to direct their attention to the head of the problems! They just hate on him because either
A: he’s rich
B: he’s white
Or C: all of the above and immediately ostracized no matter what his thought process is lmao
Kevin Mulloy I agree ....most of the arguments in this video or actually enjoyable except for those annoying people either way still good
Patience? He interrupted everyone’s points and didn’t even try to act like he understood. These didn’t look like debates or talk throughs lmao. Everyone was just spitting their opinions with no explanations. At least for the 8 minutes I watched
I watch this every 6 months or so and it doesn't get old. His points ring true year after year.
exactly, one of the best videos ever
yes sir Vince, me too
Econ 101, yea right, that explains everything. to the simple minded. I could do the same trick with ANY subject at a Trump rally.
@@reedschrichte800 Why do you think you're smarter than everyone who supported trump? No different with idiots who think all democrats are stupid. There's smart on both sides.
Truer even, because guess what, things have gone further into sht and people have gone further into hate towards the wrong people...
Cringe, a lot of these people arn't even listening to him.. they're in their head getting ready for their next question as he's answering them.
The nature of humans
So true. I agree totally. Great comment.
In New York you have a lot of sick people, it's a hole of despair.
Exactly especially the black dude that came in at 30:00, i lost count how many times he cried "let me finish"... and to top it off he had the audacity to call the succesful businessman a FOOL/IDIOT? XD
Hopefully they rewatch this video to understand how much value there was in what this man was saying.
These people aren't listening, they're just waiting till they can talk again.
ArtbyLuke so is Schiffer though. He isn’t there to change a single thing about his views
@@User-wt9jk we got a libtard here!!! why can't the socialist retards change their views? typical hypocrisy.
RealitySpill the opinions by the protestors were all retarded and misguided views. Schiff shouldn’t change his view because of these ppl no one made a compelling argument. None of them understand anything
@@User-wt9jk To he honest, Schiff gave points that are, if not already factual, actually considerable. However, most of the other folks in this video, the majority, kept giving crap, and what's worst is, they try to use big words (not really big but you get me) but when schiff dumbs it down to them, and they get to see it with clarity, they become clueless, and get all hissy because they're trying to save their "pride"
@@User-wt9jk what are you talking about, being confident about your beliefs and LISTENING to the other person are completely different things. Schiff would respond to literally everything that a person said, even if he was being interrupted in the middle of responding, he would change his answer to address the latest thing which was interjected.
The smartest people in the crowd are the ones listening quietly and getting a free education...
I mean I need to facts check him I was listening to me lol
Smart people would ask him questions and get free consultation
Nice assessment friend.
@CGMeadia/Spaceley- Sound Art Media systems He is not talking about letting big business off the hook at all so what did you just watch? He is actually saying the exact opposite of that, let them fail.
Absolutely!!!!
This guy just gave us 2 hours of free lesson on market and economy. Thanks Mr. Schiff! :)
he still does everyday on his youtube channel

@@mack4098 oh, does he? I didn't hear that. It's good to afford yourself clean clothes and healthy food, that's for sure.

I honestly blame the education system. This is what happens when people do not understand economics or finance and how it ties in with economics.
@@mikeyc2963 I agree 100%
but he shuts down the people who wanted to have a conversation and were actually being respectful. like the black guy in the red hood. its like its peter trying to win the argument which he certainly was winning if you look at it in terms of who was right.
@Moses sad part is even a private is the same way. I'd rather teach my kids real world skills.
Can’t speak wisdom to the fool, that would be like stopping the ocean with your hand. Schaffer’s is a very intelligent person and has some insight on the mechanics of wealth but unfortunately his audience is not receptive.
The unemployed man is calling the multimillion dollar man a “fool”
I regularly argue with three democratic socialists and a communist in a discord server. The communist is probably a troll, but two of the three demsocs are unemployed (one gets welfare, one is living off a dwindling inheritance), and the third works online captioning videos. I work in construction making lower wages than the captioner. They have sources, citations, and some valid points...that sound good in theory, but have never worked historically, and miss the point of my arguments entirely.
Funny thing is, they're relativists and I'm an absolutist, but they speak in the most absolute terms and I speak in the most relative terms.

ahhhh, but a dictatorship can ONLY function under a socialist system.
The dictatorship is the means of of controlling the system. The system itself is the flaw that allows the dictator to exist.
@@dominusalicorn3684
Its not as though the IDEA of socialism is bad. Socialist ideals are wonderful... but the execution of a socialist system ALWAYS leads to problems.
The first issue is human nature. People are inherently lazy. If we all were given everything we wanted, and given the choice to get up at 6am and work at MacDonalds... no one would. But someone has to... So immediately you get slackers... then there is jealousy. Then no one works.. and with no production, the products disappear. No more bread, no more food, no one disposing of trash... etc...
This is one of the greatest videos I’ve ever seen. I give Peter massive respect for staying so patient and calm. I think this really goes to show one of the fundamental issues we are facing is education of the masses. I feel bad for a lot of these people because they are very misinformed on many topics
I agree, this video showed that a lot of people do not want to change their mind and believe they should have everything provided for them. Thats probably why these people have so much time to protest, they've been unemployed forever and expect hand outs from the government. Especially the v for vendetta mask guy. He had the most ridiculous arguments of anyone. And in some sort of stockhold syndrome was praising the government for ending slavery lol, the people that originally sanctioned it, and talking bad about the corporations that would be able to provide Healthcare and good wages to a loyal and hard working employee. I don't think he has a job.
Peter walks the talk… I disagree with him on bitcoin but his overall philosophy is sound and highly respectable.
Peter is full of s***. I have even challenged him to a bet and I'll go anywhere 25 50000 with everyone's he never paid 55% in taxes on a business that he owned it's not done like that you have to be a f****** idiot to own a business and to put yourself down for earned income he didn't do it. May I suggest you get it was he took dividence what's your taxes 15% Sony her shift from the guy. And if he doesn't like what I say he can come and make a bet with me and I'll prove to him and I'll take his money
@@robt3407 As bitcoin goes to 20k from 60k lol
I'm not that smart either, but I gotta say - everyone knows this from intuition - there is a part of human demographic that are just not intelligent nor wise enough even for a minimal standard of living in a capitalistic society. Maybe the sentence could be written better but you know what i mean.
There's no way this guy could do this today, way too dangerous. Scary to see how far we devolved even from this.
This is exactly why we've devolved. OWS was legitimately threatening to those in power. So they had to nip it in the bud by injecting identity politics into the movement. Now the same financial institutions we used to protest fund groups like BLM and Antifa. Main street gets destroyed, Wall Street business as usual.
Isn't that crazy? This video was less than a decade ago and if someone in the 1% tried to do this today, they might very well be beaten up and ridiculed. (Obviously it would depend where in the US they chose to try this)

I like this 1% guy. He makes sense. You get rich by adding value. All these people are the "gimme" type and only take not add.
@@earlaweese we don't. but by the way they talk, and how their mentality shows, we can deduce what type of people they are
And watch the government give them what they asking for because the government knows it's not the solution. And poor people never think about how they keep asking rich people who worked for their lifestyle to support them because they refuse to lesson.🤦🏾
But, CEOs don't add 300x the value of their average employee, yet they make 300x the wage of their average employee. Think about what really makes sense; the people controlling the wages are greedy and overpaying themselves. Starting a business shouldn't mean that you're so much better off than the people that allow your business to function, the labor, that you obtain so much more than them. There are literally people working their asses off that can barely take care of their families while their boss has so much expendable income they can buy literal islands. That's a huge disparity that you may be able to rationalize, but not justify.
@@Sup3rB4dVideos I think that's an interesting way to look at it but let's take someone like Bezos for example. Seems fair that he's got the wealth he has, no? He created a business which grew enough to give employees a place to offer value to the business. A business that revolutionized how consumers shop. I'm just starting with him as an example. How would you use his example to support your point?

Right?! It’s scary. Maybe I’m bias, but most of what he is saying is just common sense. He is incredibly smart and knows what he’s talking about, but people need to LISTEN. The government is so damn corrupt, the dems really know how to dumb down society and pander to them. I’ve taken business, economics and accounting classes, and my family owns 2 small businesses.

@Tobirama Senju capitalism is not wrong. My dude. Making 60-70 a year isn't bad. Hell I was working 10-14 hours a day at done jobs. But when I saw my paycheck (keep in mind while in college) I was happy. It's nice to see my hard work pay off. It allowed me to invest, buy a car, pay for school. Do the Things I wanted to do. So tell me, what's wrong with that? I'm not saying everyone will have my situation, but most people don't want to work. You think that people who work 40-60 hours a week are poor? No. The people who bitch about this are the ones that are uneducated. Just a simple fact. I love capitalism, it's not perfect, but you now what? At least whatever I give, I get my share back. Something that will never happen in socialism.
Tobirama Senju that’s their fault for working that hard and not investing and trying to get ahead. America is the only country you can be born in any position and make it to the top. You’re just making excuses.
Tobirama Senju you should work overtime and work as hard as you can until you have passive income from your investments but most people lack money management and skills like that which is good because we don’t want everyone being rich.
@Tobirama Senju what...??
@Tobirama Senju capitalism hasn't properly been around for decades so what are you on about??? Try watching the whole video and Peter can explain it to you
Plot twist: the man holding the sign is the actual 1%
lol. Also, he hired the other guy to talk on his behalf.
Hi, you have lots of likes, and few comments so Imma hang from it ykwim? I want to put a point that could totally be wrong but so what at least I’ll learn. The university of Virginia is 50,000 out of state tuition!! Lets just look at in state to be fair $17,000, in Mexico the top public university charges about $1,000 dollars a year, people in Virginia make way more money, but not 17 times more, much less 50 times on all other states!! And thats the top school, some public schools charge $300 dollars and $500 dollars a year, yes they make less but not that much less, a country like mines, Mexico should not offer such cheaper education and opportunities than this great country, its still worse in sooo many corruption issues than the US Ik Im not saying Mexico is superior. Im saying America is just never gonna be truly great with tuition rates that high, they need to be wayyyyy lower, the man is right it should be considered a national embarrassment that students have to pay so much more education in the country of opportunity.
Nice🤤

@@RobertoVelazquez-nb6qg I work in a lab with $500,000 worth of equipment and precision tools. Colledge is a business. I see no problem paying $1,000+ per class with the access I am allowed.
I remember watching this when it first came out. The problem we have here is a bunch of people who are uneducated on our financial system. An individual could spend a solid 5-7 hours watching educational videos on our monetary system and economics, and learn 10 times more then a college graduate has ever learned in their entire 16 years of school. These people don't realize they are massively undereducated or miseducated when it comes to our financial system. Hopefully he encouraged people to educate themselves.
The point is, that Peter is very aware of this....and yet he does get in the :arguement" with them, pretending to not understand what the problem with the financial/ political system is.

I think if you invest and have other income outside of dividends then you will be able to live off dividends without selling. Which means you can pass that on to your kids which will give them a leg up in life. $52k dividends received in 2022.
I agree! That's why it is advisable that you have to invest while you still have a regular job or earning a regular income, and do it constantly. You still need to have something that will keep you going even if you're investing. Good financial planning and money allocation is the key.
I had my share of ups and downs when I first started looking for a consistent passive income so I hired an expert advisor for aid, and following her advice, I poured some money in value stocks and digital asset, i accrued over $80K in dividends last year

They see "Made in China/Mexico/Vietnam/Taiwan on everything they buy and see it being defended by idiotic dotards that wave little flags and speak highly of Capitalism.
They know undocumented laborers are supplying the food they eat.
They know the tax cuts that sent our deficit sky-high only got dumped into corporate buy-backs instead of raises and new job creation.
They know when bulls rally on Fed rate cuts, their payments and prices are rising soon after because of inflation.

I think there's a misunderstanding here, there was a reason why he wanted to be the last person to speak to Peter because he wanted to actually talk business and not have it all on camera where people like some of you individuals are going to ridicule him for doing something all of you are likely to cowardly to do. Also whoever talked about the man's education being wasted, fuck right off because first off that man's education was likely worse off simply because of his zip code which is bullshit.
If a person can read, converse, and do basic math the education did their bare minimum of a fucking job. If our education was even half decent all of these "liberals" you're so quick to mock would actually have an understanding of economics, taxes, business, and how the Fed sucks ass. Rather than having to find individuals on the internet like Peter to actually educate them.

Solar Panels like Solar City that Elon funded for his brothers or cousins & it's the largest solar panel company in the USA & employs people I know massive amounts of cash compared to McDonald and its easy to get in. I know people that work for that company that are just regular dudes like me & Solar City flys them all over the USA to work & pays for it. Puts them in hotels and pays for it. & they offer good benefits. Peter Pan & Grey Hound is easy to get into USA wide & they have great pay, free bus tickets anywhere in the USA, 401 K & I think they match it or contribute something to it. Health care.... I'm broke & currently unemployed due to Corona Virus & family issues but once everything clears up I'm back to work & I don't blame the rich per say. It's cronyism.

You wanna be rich too just like me people. There is someone to blame though. Like the politics, government, FED. Get back on (maybe) or at least let the dollar compete with gold and silver. Geesh look at whats Palladium has done over the last 5 years. When I was buying Silver and small small small pieces of gold years ago. Palladium was approx $800 an Troy Ounce. Now its something ASTRONOMICAL. Imagine if it where to compete. Look at Bitcoin. I'm extremely depressed no kidding because when I bought Bitcoin when I got into Bullion no one knew about it. There was only a snippet video of it at the very end of a financial documentary year ago and it was $12. By the time I bought it though it was like $25-$27 and I had 15 20 bitcoins at any given time. I've probably totally brought like 50 but never had that many at one time because I would play casino games with them online. Bitcoins went up to $20,000 at some point & now hover at I think $8,000-$10,000. So imagine if I saved all my bitcoins and sold out when they got to $10,000-$20,000. That's what capital society does.

lol sure
Peter is a legend, so kind of him to try to teach those ignorant, half drugged out crowd of people about capitalism. Hopefully someone learned something from him
I wish he listened more instead of always trying to steamroll conversations. He employed a typical disruption technique of constantly interrupting as they're talking to disrupt their train of thought and try to direct the conversation where he wanted it to go. It's a common practice by people who want others to think they're smarter than they actually are.
Except.... he's not teaching them, he's deceiving them. It's because of Capitalism and businesses not doing the right thing that forced the governments hand in creating regulations. It came full circle, but he only wants people to focus on the government. Why? Because all he truly cares about is making more money himself. He cares about HIS profits. If he actually cared about the people, he'd pay employees more and take less money himself. If he can make millions himself, then there's no reason he can't pay employees more, which in turn gives them more money to spend on items, which helps the economy, which makes business owners more money, and it cycles around. But the rich of this era make excuses for why they make billions and their employees can barely make ends meet on minimum wage. It's a con job, and it's easy to fall for if you can't see through the deceit.
Lol I guess you missed the part on tax rates impeding business growth…. You must of also missed the part of productivity per unit of labor…. Of course he’s worried about making more money himself. He mentioned that. He employs many people (of whom you do not even know what they’re getting paid). Would you rather have a few people make more? Or pay many more people the wage rate per unit of time that competition allows in a capitalist society? There are plenty of reasons why he can’t pay employees more, he just listed them out in the video? Also, minimum wage does not equal livable wage… minimum wage is exactly what it says… the minimum in which an employer can pay. Typically these are low skilled jobs. You build skill and acquire knowledge that you learned by entering the labor force presumably at minimum wage then you take what you learned and you advance your career. Poverty is not stagnant. It does not consist of the same people. People move in and out of wage brackets all the time. I’m making a hell lot more money now than I made when I was 21… do you see what I’m saying? I don’t want to be rude, but you’re really clueless on economics of a capitalist society.
@@inthemaking9714 Claiming tax rates impede business growth is a bullshit argument and not actually reality. They claim it's true, but it really isn't. If the business itself and the people at the top are making millions/billions, then it's just not reality. The 50s that he loves to talk about as the golden era of Capitalism had MUCH higher tax brackets than today, and that didn't impede any growth. The minimum wage back then was higher than todays minimum wage when you adjust for inflation as well. Minimum wage back when it was introduced WAS a liveable wage. It's only in recent times that it became so low compared to the costs of living that it was no longer a liveable wage. I believe it was around the 80s where minimum wage adjusted for inflation to today was around $14. So.... what happened? It wasn't taxes, because taxes dropped. It can't be regulations because businesses continued to make more and more profit. So, what was it? The simple answer, it was greed. Companies realised they could cheat the system under Capitalism and they could massively increase the costs of their services, without increasing wages, to maximize their profits. They realised they could monopolise their areas of business at the expense of everyone to increase the wealth of those at the top. Regulations keep being added because businesses are NOT doing right by their workers. Businesses have FORCED the governments hand in adding regulations. Back in the day, they didn't need so many regulations because businesses weren't taking advantage of everyone else for their own profit AS BADLY as they are today. It's BECAUSE of Capitalism that life is so expensive compared to wages in this era. Capitalism unchecked leads to greater and greater wealth gaps and more and more people in poverty.
Oh, and by the way, there are most definitely areas where the same people stay in poverty and can't get out of it. There are whole communities that have to live like that. There are many reasons as to why it's happened but that was a foolish comment. Sure, there are some that move in and out of poverty, but there are still a lot that stay in poverty and no amount of trying to move up the ladder works for them. Just because YOUR situation isn't like that, doesn't mean it's not like that for others. That is a concept that both you and Peter fail to comprehend.
@johnnysoccer1983. It's very obvious you don't understand basic economics. AND you're spouting typical uninformed socialist propaganda about the "greedy" businessmen. Making an emotional appeal to get other misinformed people to agree with you. YOU are the one who can't see through the deceit of years of basic, basic economic misunderstandings.
This guy is extremely refreshing. Probably a top 1% of the 1%ers in terms of respecting others.
Well, he did give us a hint at the beginning of the video stating that the government took 55% of his wages. All you have to do is look up that wage scale that falls under that tax bracket.
Weird, the government takes half your stuff by force and the people say "you're rich pay your fair share". Neegan does it and they all cheer when rick cuts his throat.
He’s out there to trying to make a difference for everyone. Most 1% don’t give a damn about the 99%
This was like attending a free financial class.
And an amazing insight on how different rich people and poor people view life and think.
Coming from a poor, section 8, food stamp background to running my own practice today and getting to talk and hear speeches from extremely successful people....that most evident thing TRULY IS the disconnect of how rich and poor people think. ....and I'm talking about the way of thinking the rich person had when they were flat broke with nothing, not after their success!! Truly two different planets. LOL
But no one paid fucking attention
@@EuroGuy85 Because they just wanted to get on their soapbox and tell anyone who would listen how rough their life is and how mean and evil people with money are. They don't give a damn about learning how to become rich or how to change their station. They want someone with money to give them some of that money because it's "unfair" that one has more than the other (i.e. they don't want to work as hard or sacrifice as much as the rich had to). I'm sure a lot of these people work very hard to provide for their families, but a CEO doesn't get to be a CEO by living paycheck to paycheck and complaining about it. They seek out other opportunities. They take risks. They make sacrifices.

He repeats again and again that he's not for "getting rid of government," but rather downsizing them, taking away their power to GIVE power to the fat cats, and having them refocus on what their SOLE PURPOSE is to begin with, which is protecting the people and the country, period.
Of course the government helps some people and businesses on Wall Street! He says so himself -- did you not listen? However, wasting time and energy on occupying Wall Street is the exact same thing as treating the symptoms of cancer rather than the cause, which is Washington, DC. If anyone looks to government to lead them and provide for them, then they deserve the slavery that inevitably awaits. I'll not be a part of that, myself.

I think people derive a sense of power from being able to outwit someone they are intimidated by or envious of. The poor man who “knows” something a rich man doesn’t feels very good about himself for that.
No it doesn’t... most of people’s “home money” goes towards alcohol, entertainment, eating out, very nice cars, etc... if you save up for about three years with multiple housemates to split rent or live free with your family you can easily save for a 3% down payment... the average home price is 200,000 so 6,000 isn’t that much

I'm 16 minutes 14 seconds in. You're saying it doesn't get better? Oh boy
The early black pigment guy had some good points, he just doesnt realises that capitalism is what fixes it. I understand that some enterpretaneurs are indeed greedy to the extreme that they explorate who works for them but they need to realize that we live in a global economism which who is in the lead will go with the cheapest option to make theire business suceed and if chinese have low cost labor and USA doesnt then China will earn from it. The only way to a equal personal lifestyle change amongst all be a thing is when the world by its all decides such happen as so all would work/study for the thing they would be part at and not for money itself (but for that the superiority status of certain jobs most end and to be fair its mostly impossible the world decide give everyone the same opportunities of living).
That bs that the black gut with the anonymous/vendetta face spoke, that he would pay 50 bucks for a usa made shirt instead of the same shirt in any other way rather the 20 dollar china made price tag one is pure bs. Is like saying that all USA would pay 4k instead of 1.5k for an iphone, i bet that they would even riot about it if the overseas made ones where sold outside USA for 1.5k and at the USA the exclusive made there would be the only ones avaiable to purchase at a 4k price tag in the country.
It's cause you need to open your mind
