    Simple: the 10% who own assets are hugely benefiting from inflation while the rest of us a getting hit hard by inflating necessities. The rich are able to bid up Swift tickets and travel costs leaving the rest of us behind. And so the Middle Class is evaporating even as aggregate numbers look good. This is a slow motion Depression for most of us.

      They don't get it. I understand, I lived that life in 08. It's a bubble world. In 08 during the recession, in their world, it's not the sky is falling. It's spend money and buy everything you want. They don't understand the real world.

    This isn't rocket science, we live in a kshaped economy right now. Those who have high income/assets are doing great, those who don't own assets or even own a home with a lower income, are drowning. This is how it always starts because we've made wealth inequality so bad and the primary driver of consumer spend is the upper quintile. Which is why the economy has been resilient.

    I find Scanlon's chipper optimism rather naive and unnuanced. Insisting that the real suffering that large swaths of the American populace endure while daily navigating the cost of living crisis is really just bad "vibes" is ultimately a kind of empty gaslighting.

    Investors are still in denial about the fundamentals of the economy. They expect rares will soon be cut and believe the topline GDP numbers signal a strong economy. However, they dont. Credit card balences are maxed out, more credit is hard to come by for consumers, a ton of companies are about to beforced into refinancing their debs at far higher interest and the regional bank backstop program is out this month. There's also the fact that inflation ticks higher than expected every single time the markets believe a rate cut is around the corner and a rate cut would cause a surge in inflation. The fed sees this stuff, guys. The only wild card for us investors is to actively engage the market by trading, we always over complicate things when we speculate. It's not about guessing the market's next move; it's about playing it smart and steady during trading...managed to grow a nest egg of around 100k to a decent 732k in the space of a few months... I'm especially grateful to Whitney Eston, whose deep expertise and traditional trading acumen have been invaluable in this challenging, ever-evolving financial landscape.

    Lowering the rates would actually drive inflation much higher than expected. Wealth inequality determines that those with excess income will put that into assets. Which is how we actually got here.

    These people act like economic numbers that are printed during a recession, haven't had 10-20% swings in the revised numbers years later. I used to track this data manually, and got mostly initial prints, until a client asked me about an issue. When I looked back again at my numbers, vs the revisions the govt did. Holy f. Numbers change drastically over the years.

  • @Tential1
    @Tential1 Місяць тому +3

    I like how people are telling you everything is OK, due to data points that are revised an insane amount after the fact. Gdp numbers for 2008 were good too. After they did the final revision in 2018, it was actually a catastrophe. But the initial print was positive. 2018 revision? Insanely negative. People today don't understand data.

    Unpopular opinion: I always find Kyla's worldview quite simplistic. Having a simplistic world view is dangerous. If you want to really understand the economy, inflation and what money is, follow Lyn Alden and buy her book instead: Broken Money.

      Pretty obvious, she eats the mainstream narrative. If the economy is so good, why is rent eating up an increasing percentage of disposable income? It would be stagnant. And that's just one data point. Why are credit card delinquency rate at 08 levels? Etc. It's wild hearing how bad they are at data.

    re: the money argument. The first view (money belongs to .gov) is how the _SYSTEM_ works. The second view (money is the private sectors) is the emergent view, that is, the way it _REALLY_ works. Both systems are valid, but at the limit the private model would be the one that I would bet on, money has existed a lot longer than this system has.

      This is the most embarrassing piece of content I have viewed on your channel. With all due respect to your guest, comparing the stock market to the health of the economy and then continuing to double down by referencing the unemployment rate unfortunately discredits her opinion from that point moving forward. Honestly, I’m shocked (almost impressed) by her disassociation with reality. One would only need to ask her what the labor force participation rate is to completely undermine her assessment.

      Jack here. I don't know about products but when it comes to economic and financial journalism, please take my word for it that Kyla and I are correct that doom sells. The content on this channel is very balanced with regards to the number of bullish/bearish videos but the bearish videos get more views. If you don't believe me just see what our most popular videos are. And I suspect the same is true for most financial media.
