      Listen carefully to #4. He mentions that less regulations and tax breaks for corporations and "high net worth individuals" (rich) are "market positive". They WANT more wealth for themselves. Fuck the small people. It's not an item because, in their view, wealth concentration is not an issue.

    Literally not a single word about climate change or any other environmental issue - one would imagine that existential threats to civilization and the biosphere would rank pretty high. Acting like it isn't western hegemony and American imperialism that is destabilizing the middle east (and the reason why Iran is stuck with a theocratic dictatorship in the first place). Nothing about massive wealth inequality, income disparity, or declines in birth rates across both developed and developing countries. Acting like America isn't in decline when 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck and have such bad health insurance that most of us can't go see a doctor.

      1. Earth has survived worse than us puny humans (doesn’t mean we should exacerbate the emissions but doesn’t mean we should exacerbate the “existential threat” of it as well)
      2. Agree about countries messing with other countries
      3. Wealth inequality grows when a subset of the population is lifted to a higher income bracket, the gap needs to be brought closer but the idea that inequality = bad is communist af. Obviously the fruits of the riches should be shared, but this needs to happen through stable institutions that are providing a majority of the benefits to the ones actually pushing for the value increase. Otherwise you end up with complacent population that will not want to do anything because they get free shit, or their work won’t end up benefiting them proportionately.
      4. Agree about birthrates but I think this video is in the context of the short term future
      5. Agree that health insurance is a scam in US, lobbyists are killing the working class as an external observer

      I agree with everything except the declining birth rate issue. Personally I don't find it to be an issue but I've recently read that it seems that way only because less women get pregnant in their teens which skewed the data. I can't say if that is true but it makes sense to me....

      You aren't wrong, but I think the point of the video is to focus on the immediate concerns for 2025. Climate change is a really big deal, but it isn't a problem that is likely to acutely impact the average citizen within the next 365 days. Healthcare and wealth-consolidation are big issues, but not as immediately concerning as some of the things listed. Now, don't get me wrong, these things SHOULD BE IMMEDIATE CONCERNS, but they've been overshadowed by geopolitical crises resulting from decades of weak leadership and mismanagement.

    The US economy cannot survive without continuous credit and debt creation. The FED will print more money and the average American will go just that much further in debt. Meanwhile, foreigners lust for the greenback. Their economies are in worse condition than the US... if that's even possible. Someone is going to be left holding the bag...

      Gold might crash in a liquidity crunch, but many precious metal holders are prepared for this and unlikely to be forced sellers. The paper market would tank and possibly collapse. Hearing from an experienced investor who has overcome adversity is motivating. It can be scary when your portfolio turns red, but if you've invested in strong companies, stick to your goals and continue growing them

      It's often true that people underestimate the importance of financial advisors until they feel the negative effects of emotional decision-making. I remember a few summers ago, after a tough divorce, when I needed a boost for my struggling business. I researched and found a licensed advisor who diligently helped grow my reserves despite inflation. Consequently, my reserves increased from $275k to around $750k.

    We built a global economy based on hyper-competition, creating a battle royale-esque ecosystem. This encouraged a hyperindividualistic zero-sum set of behaviours everywhere. The rich individuals get richer at the expense of everybody else. The same dynamic can be seen in nation states.

      They have ignored climate and the continued destruction of our environment for 40 years plus. They will not change until the fires engulf the world. In truth, the rich do not care because they can move about and make certain they have plenty of food, air conditioning and shelter wherever they go. It is the working class slave masses that have voted for men like tRump, starting with Reagan, time and time again. They masses voted for their own continued and increasing poverty as well as the immense suffering they will endure and die from as the planet continues toward its tipping point of no return. Americans have voted as a majority time and time again for their own suffering and demise. For reason such as racism, homophobia and the control of women's bodies.

      @@nothingness863 Nobody is arguing that fact, and it really needs to stop being a talking point for climate deniers.
      It's anthropogenic climate change that is a threat, with humans producing ungodly amounts of emissions since the Industrial Revolution while simultaneously plundering the Earth of its safeguards through harmful practices like deforestation. It's not that it's changing, it's that, due to human activity, the ecosystem is changing at a rate that compromises human security. Increased chance of drought & famine; Ocean acidification; Extreme weather events becoming less uncommon; Higher average temperatures destroying flora & fauna.
      You don't have to be some climate alarmist "the world will be underwater by 2050" type of person, but equally, please don't do the "the climate always changes!" bit that might as well be paid for by ExxonMobil.

    The most interesting thing is that from a Western point of view, a multipolar world, where countries act in their own interests rather than in the interests of America and the West, is considered the number one threat. From the outside, this sounds very funny.

    I’d say the US is far weaker than Ian Bremmer would believe, and way more unstable internally.
    Huge debt, with interest payments piling up, an acute recruitment crisis within the military, and a highly unequal society where the most recent significant bipartisan consensus event among the populace is a CEO getting shot on an open street.
    The US is strong in the same way as a cancer patient is stronger than someone who contracted ebola

    You might want to highlight how military corporations have a significant influence over the U.S. government, which often lacks moral direction. For instance, the government has invested $175 billion in supporting Ukraine, yet has only allocated a mere $700 dolars to assist those affected by climate change, such as victims of the wildfires in Los Angeles. This disparity reflects misplaced priorities in addressing domestic crises or corruption.

    All the problems in the world can be attributed to some extent towards the existence of "money". In a world where there is globalization, where ones work, service or a product has a different "value" is not realistic. People owning lands and then be used for monetary reasons is still mind bogling to me. These are essentials to survivability just as food and healthcare are. Thats one of the reasons why concepts such as healthcare for all, universal basic income are not radical anymore. Humans are not born for making money, its time retire concept of money and replace it with societal contribution points where ones purpose is not tied to money but by the nature of work. Hopefully, then we are driven by the nature of improving society rather than racing towards who valued more.

      It's too late for that, it sounds utopian, the closest thing to that is regulating these billionaires who keep on getting richer and the rest of the 90+% keeps making them wealthier and are falling behind while being shouted at to work harder and take more risks. Also these silly divisive nonsensical sub ideologies like the manosphere and feminism need to get debunked and forgotten so we can love each other again and have some legit motivation to get ahead. We should also have an almost automated world of production, which in turn can provide more of that time to be a social being, as you mentioned. The status quo is leading to some kind of new neo capitalistic feudalism and communism is simply not going to work because the implementation coming from a (neo)liberal system is never going to work.
