That reminds me of a lesson I learned from a local business owner when I was a kid in Germany. I walked by his place and saw that someone had keyed his nice Porsche all over. When I asked him about it he just laughed and said I get it fixed at Porsche and the insurance rates will go up for everyone. He didn’t care since he wrote it off as a business expense and said the person that keyed the car is probably hurting more , because his or her car insurance went up too. It’s like the free healthcare I received that only cost me 52% deductions of my paycheck every month. Nothing is ever free.
As far as voting goes. I feel I see a pattern of Liberals spend, spend, spend and create issues. Then conservatives get in attempt to cut the fat. People get annoyed with the less free stuff and vote the liberals back in. Is there a solution other than to be as self sufficient as possible and prep for a recession?

Smaller houses are a good thing. Irrespective of what is happening with money supply (some of which is outside of the control of a central bank, like the velocity of spending and international exchange rates) a big house is just a money pit. We have this idea that any house is just gonna accrue value (which is a recipe for unaffordable housing) but a 400m^2 home costs more to take care of than a 100m^2 home. The roof still needs to be replaced on occasion, a leak can cause rot, carpets and paint and everything needs upkeep. Then a big home is an invitation to fill it with crap you don't need. I grew up in a home with a "living room" and a "family room" and then the good TV was in my parents bedroom so that's where we all hung out, and two rooms full of expensive furniture didn't really get used. And exercise equipment? The home gym is a ridiculous trend and the equipment just does not get used. Bigger homes mean that kids aren't underfoot, but that also means kids aren't supervised. It's just this ridiculous debt trap we have let ourselves fall into. The more shrinkflation in the housing supply the better. Folks should spend more time out of the house, go for a hike, go boating, go to an art gallery or to see a show.

Great video once again..thanks. Canada Post shipping costs are crazy. A small box before Christmas was over $20.00 sent within the same province. I put in a seed order with a small company that I've used for many years and this year the shipping was $14.95 for 12 packets of seed from the next province over!! I ordered them anyway because I want to support them, but wow I was shocked. Stock up on seeds folks, it's getting nuts😊
Excellent video Dean .😊And no you are not out to lunch ,but if I was near by ,I'd take you and your family out to lunch. But not at McDonald's 😅. Yes things are going to get much worse to the Biblical proportions. But I trust God and I know what lays ahead. Trust in God and His Word and place trust in Jesus. That's what I do. 😊
I agree with most of this. But you are dead wrong on with your landlord example. Landlords are predatory by nature, getting people who are in bad economic situations to pay off their properties. Its the tenant who is subsidizing the landlord.
@@ArkopiaUA-cam I get that you are taking the argument to the extreme. But even then that is a viable long term play. Lets say we take a 20 year mortgage on a 250k property and rent it out for a net monthly loss of $5. That is a loss of $1200 to end up wit a 250k property paid off.
@@susans8573 that is what REITs (realestate investment trusts) do. ICR, mainstreet equity corp BlackRock... Tons of companies buy property to rent it out.
@@RYANONTHERUN keep in mind that the bigger guys are able to absorb more cost increases than smaller guys due to economies of scale. same reason many large companies champion minimum wage. their wages are a much smaller percentage of operating costs than it is for small businesses.
Inflation isn't always due to amount of currency printed. Look at recent years. Inflation wasn't normal, due to covid...supply chain was disrupted, caused shortage of supplies, therefore, higher prices....when covid was under control and supplies were about to become normal, they were again disrupted because of Ukraine war..... In general, when economics are good, people make more money, wages rise. when people CAN afford to buy more, suppliers obviously are going to increase their prices for more profit. High price index compared to a year or 2 years ago, or compared to last quarter...is referred to as inflation. I found your channel a month ago, building a greenhouse. I enjoyed it....but sorry to see that you get involved in politics..."teaching" economics, as some people put it, unless I misunderstood. I don't think you're correct.
If you're selling stuff on the net... best to stay away from political/economic commentary (which you illustrate your shocking lack of knowledge BTW). I just cancelled my order of your products from amazon. Have a nice day.
I bought my first house 25 years ago. 2 bedroom brick house on 2.5 acres for $13,500 on the courthouse steps. I just paid almost the same amount for a 12’x16’ garden shed last year 😢 And many people think that near 0% interest rates are a good thing 🤔
Actually, banks and their loan taking customers also create inflation. Banks are allowed to lend currency on fractional reserves, which leads to them practically imagining currency into existence when you borrow - and when you pay off your loan you deflate because that imagined currency creases to exist. (someone gives them a dollar, they are allowed to lend out 90 cents of it to someone else who will deposit in a bank and of that ninety cents they can again lend all but ten percent which they must keep in reserve. This goes on into infinity.)
fact is once groceries prices are up and restaurant prices are up, they're hard to come down....GREED. When groceries blame oil price increase, they say they have to crease their prices...what happen when oil price goes back down? they retain their high groceries prices....I call that GREED.
Yet the store is full of Chinese produce, the cabbage I looked at wrapped in plastic, grown in China shipped here and distributed for less than one grown here. Other than complaints do you have any ideas that work for the masses if so you should run for politics and change the world.
Yes. Reduce government by 95%, reduce taxes by 95%, and set individuals loose so the free market can lift all boats. Not happening though. In a democracy, people don’t vote for responsibility (freedom), they vote for freestuff ✌️
I agree with major cuts. However Are there not good things the government does, school, police, environmental policies, military, medical care, road cleaning and garbage disposal? If we cut those would we not have a larger gap between wealthy and poor/sick?
No. In Canada, the health care and school system is government run (communism). This means it is crap for way too much cost. Free market lifts all boats. Poor people get richer, and rich people get more richer. Equality of outcome is fantasy. Equality of opportunity works.
@@ArkopiaUA-cam makes sense for those two. if we free market military and police are we not creating the potential for some very bad people to take over the country?

They do. “Due to inflation and increasing costs, we are doing an x% price increase”.
Small guys yes! But why do the big guy's not make public statements saying it
Probably because advertising price increases doesn’t bring in more customers. They just increase the price and it is what it is
