      Maybe if you wanted to work you wouldn't be blaming inequality on things like 'politics' and 'taxes'. Try doing some real work like being the son of a private equity firm manager, and you'll realise that the real issues in this world are kids buying avocados and not wanting to work.

      It's not the war that brought equality. It was the wartime economic policies. But a lot of companies have outgrown their home contries, so we don't know if they would subjugate to stricter policy or just abandon the country altogether. We also can't change our policies so drastically during peacetime because too many people would object and possibly start a civil war.

    Canadian here, not only are people’s mortgage payments going up, rent is skyrocketing. Not only that but people are being kicked out of their rented homes so renters can renovate and re-rent their property for 3x rent. My family was evicted from our home because the land lord wanted to renovate to re-rent, and our rent went from 1400 to 3000 in a month. And even worse? All the adults (including myself) are all bar tenders and servers, on paper we are poor since our pay check is so small since we live on tips, we had to pay a YEAR down on our new rented home. This was such a shock to our family, everyone here has lost trust in the government it’s very sad

    • @tjoloi
      @tjoloi 3 місяці тому

      ​@@sword_of_damocle5 A lot of people's net worth is tied in real estate. When your home is worth 800k, it's bound to happen no matter how much to save up.
      That being said, a true real estate crash would mostly hurt REITs and other form of over-leveraged real estate investment. The average person doesn't get to use that money because they still need a place to live. A fully paid-off house could drop to 20$ tomorrow and it would do absolutely nothing to the 43% of home owners with fully paid-off homes. Everyone else would end up underwater but, even then, it wouldn't change anything to their lifestyle.
      The only ones that would actually suffer from a complete real estate crash are investors and real estate agents, which does suck for them but when the alternative is the average earner (43k median income) having to pay 112% of their gross income (4000/mo @ 5%) to afford the median canadian house price (700k), I'd pick the average guy any time of the day over some salesman jobs and investors.
      The economy can take a hit, it's a lot better than having half your population being too poor to afford living.

    In regards to India not feeling that age imbalance other countries are going to experience, I feel collectivist cultures will fair better against the issues plaguing many young adults in other countries right now, and that’s a massive part of why India isn’t feeling these effects. Family and personal connections trump everything else in life , in collectivist cultures the focus is not personal success and they tend to let their work lives impose on their personal lives far less, as work is *not* their life. Not creating a family to prevent living from paycheck to paycheck would be such a backwards idea in these cultures that many of these young people won’t even consider it. To add onto this, in many of these cultures, families live together even after the kids grow up. This reduces the pressure of having to buy a house before having a kid.

    I think the problem is that you have to consider modern technology and the comforts/luxuries that brings to people's daily lives. Now there's so many distractions that many people will be willing to take more abuse than back in the day. There will be plenty of people upset... but I feel we're losing our capabilities / motivation to rebel against an unjust system as technology gets better. Eventually riots would just be almost impossible when they could just suppress all the protestors with drones. While we do have that level of technology already it's just not wide stream enough to do that large scale without pushback. But bit by bit police and law enforcement will get better and better technology and corrupt politicians will use that to oppress the people. Trump wanted police to shoot people protesting against him. He'd 100% unleash the drones.

    Why lump in the 70s with the 50s and 60s? They were not similar decades. Also:
    1. Obviously you’re going to lower taxes in the 80s when there isn’t a world war
    2. They broke up many companies during the 80s, most notably AT&T
    3. The income inequality has always been bad, I’d assume even pre 30s had a higher percent then post 2010s

    • @Admiral-General_Aladeen
      @Admiral-General_Aladeen 2 місяці тому

      Income inequality maybe but not wealth inequality. The wealth inequality was very high during the 30s. After WW2 the US had very high taxes more buisness regulations and strong unions this lead to very low wealth inequality.
      This time is also known as "The golden age of capitalism" btw.
      Reagen broke the back of unions lowered taxes and worked to open China which lead to the loss of millions of american jobs. This lead to extremly high wealth inequality again but in exchange we now have more billionares and millionares then ever.
      In 1970 to be in the 1% you needed 500$k (4$million adjusted for inflation) now you need 15$ million.

      1. Yes, taxes were high but you're missing a lot of context. America just got out of a war, it doesn't drop right away. America was building the interstate highway system which cost over $600 billion in 2023 dollars. The marginal tax rate could be 100% but through loopholes the average person may only pay a small percentage (e.g., how Bezos pays a true rate of ~1%). Anyway taxes started to drop in the 60s.
      2. Business regulations have only grown since the 50s to the 1990s, substantially. There's a good video to visual it somewhere in terms of "books".
      3. The amount of union works have gone down since the 90s primarily due to the loss of manufacturing jobs to China. To say Reagan broke unions is ridiculous because you can literally only point to one example in which he fire the federal union workers because they were breaking the law.
      4. Major losses of manufacturing jobs (in millions of manu. jobs) did not start occurring until the early 90s.
      5. That is literally not true. To be the 1% in America, depending on the source, you have to make almost a $1M or be worth $6M. Where did you get the $15M?

      @@kylekyle1087Wrong. While the highest marginal tax rate was 90% the effective tax rate was still 70% so still very high. Otherwise the wealth inequality would have gone up much sooner.
      The US had military spending of 10% during the 50s and huge cold war costs in general like the space race which far exeeds the cost of the highway system. Do you think this money came out of nowhere? The massive deficit spending of the US started under Reagen because he lowered taxes but still spend like crazy.
      I never said that the loss of manucacturing jobs occured under Reagen just that he started the process.
      Sorry the 15 million and 500k was a mistake on my part thats the average wealth of the 1%. That still supports my point though that the wealth of the 1% increased a ridiculous amout from around 8$ trillion 50$ trillion which again started to happen under Reagen.
      I would need more time for the unions but honestly im tired right now.

      Nope you couldn't just dodge taxes easily the marginal tax rate was 90% but the effective tax rate was still 70%. The US spend 10% of it's gdp on military during the 50s. 14% during Vietnam while also having other expensive projects like going to the moon etc.
      This while also decreasing their dept to gdp ratio so making no new significant dept. The dept to gdp lowered from 119% in 1946 to around 31% in 1980.
      During that entire time the wealth inequality stayed almost the exactly same for 3 decades. Same with the average wealth of the 1%.
      Then Reagen comes and reduces the tax rate which wasn't even necessary according to you because the rich could just dodge taxes anyway right? Suddenly for some inexplainable reason the wealth of the 1% and the wealth inequality suddenly starts rising extremly fast. And then for the first time after WW2 the dept to gdp ratio increases again. Why would that happen? You said the rich didn't pay taxes anyway right?
      It's almost like the rich did pay taxes which is how the US could afford to spend so much on it's military and why the wealth inequality stayed low.
      But the funniest thing here is the way that Reagen could afford low taxes while also spending like crazy was dept. Reagen started the deficit spending.

      ​@@Admiral-General_Aladeen Lmao you're taking parts of what I said which applied generally to the 1950s-1990s, finding the decade or time that it least applied then using a statistic like "% of the US GDP on military" that is completely irrelevant to my argument. What does that have to do with the price of rice? US spend today is 3.5% of it's GDP, so what. Part of my point was that come V day, the government isn't going to say "oh well, we won the war, let's lower taxes back to pre-war levels today".
      I won't debunk everything you just spewed because you sound like a college kid who took econ 101 and because you're not adding any context lmao so I'll just leave this:
      1. There will always be wealth inequality, grow up, some people are smarter than others, some people are born into wealthier families. Countries have tried to "spread the wealth" and the have all either lost all the wealth or transferred it to a different 1%.
      2. "You said the wealthy dodge taxes so let's just make taxes 99.99 percent haha!" is what we call a straw-man argument, look it up, learn from it, don't do it again because you look really dumb.
      3. You've spell Reagan wrong.
      4. Congress makes the budget, and the president approves. I don't agree with the spending during the 80s but I agree with lowering taxes. Also, news flash, deficit spending did not start with Reagan it's been happening almost every year at least since Herbert Hoover.

    wtf is this analysis. Atrioc for some reason places an extraneous importance on taxes, when the effective tax rate people paid wasnt ever 80% nor was the strength of social safety nets that much better then than it is now. But even granting that it was, based on what evidence is he decoupling the social and other economic aspects like racism, like red lining, like women not being able to work driving up the comparative price of labor up? Its like, hurr taxes high thats why good, but hes not offering an explanation as to why any of the other "bad" policies aren't to blame for the good, like a higher demand for labour given half of the population couldn't work.
    In any case this analysis is also dogshit as it is EXTREMELY, US centric. What other nations had this "golden era" of the middle class in the 50s and 60s? War torn Europe? Maoist China? The UK which went bankrupt and couldn't sustain its colonies leading to their independence? Said colonies who gained their independence and had to survive as newly born nation states? The Soviet Union who lost 23 million lives against the Germans vs the 400k the US lost? Like what other place on earth had this "middle class" Atrioc keeps talking about? The reason the US was rich and inequality low was precisely because demand for skilled labor in the world was VERY high (cuz ykno war) and the US was basically the only industrialized nation to not be damaged at all, and as mentioned a lot of social policies like keeping women and blacks out of work, lead to the demand for labor going up EVEN MORE than without these policies, as your pool was shrunk to educated white guys.
    tldr, very bad analysisy very bad worldview, pseudo propaganda.

Reagan and ever so slightly less Thatcher are dogshit, but they're not the inflection point as to the rise of neoliberalism. If anything you can point to Nixon as starting the ball rolling with opening up China/his policies geared towards globalization, and of course coming off of the gold standard and starting to financialie the economy. Reagan just supercharged it. People also give Clinton credit for controlling the deficit, when LITERALLY the Soviets collapsed meaning that we didnt have to, ykno overthrow governments any more nor spend on our military as much given our only geopolitical rival just went tits up.
      Tldr Politics and the world are complex, and often policies and laws would happen regardless of who was legislating them. Rarely does the "great man" theory hold. Fuck Raegan but its quite reductionist to paint him as this Buchanan or like Hitler esque figure when for 6 of his 8 years he didnt have a congress. and even lost the senate in his last 2 if my memory serves me right. While hard to belive given modern polarized block any and all legislation, most of the shit passed during this time like tax cuts were bipartisan.
