 You probably won’t ever be a tech worker at a FAANG company, a bulge bracket finance bro or a high-powered corporate executive. Society needs people to do the real jobs that keep us housed, fed and safe, and it needs them a lot more than it needs another McKinsey consultant. This is a problem because no matter how you put it, a job where you sit in an air-conditioned office making six figures a year in your first year out of college is way more desirable than doing roadwork in Arizona for 20 bucks an hour. The problem is that everybody is trying really hard to pretend this isn’t true, and the system that has sprung up to maintain this dream has caused more problems than you realize. Peter Turchin is a complexity scientist, who mathematically models the statistical dynamics of historical societies. He coined the theory of “Elite Overproduction”. He argues in his books and papers that societies make workers just like they make anything, a car goes through a factory, and a college graduate goes through a few decades of schooling. At the end you get something you can drive around in and something that can make pivot tables in excel. Follow to learn How Money Works.

In just the last 2 years personal savings have been evaporated, consumer debt has hit record highs, the job market has been defined by anti-worker trends such as ghost jobs, broad sector layoffs and gigification, all while asset prices have ballooned far faster than household incomes, or even their intrinsic fundamentals. The results have been pretty simple, it’s getting much harder for people who work for a living to keep up with those who already have assets
 Even the most diligent and career focused people are finding it tough to make ends meet let alone accumulate assets so that they too can one day achieve financial security
 But if ever you are feeling like it’s all a bit hopeless, just remember, it could be worse
 you could be from Canada

In 2012 the Hong Kong, Shanghai Banking Corporation best known simply as HSBC was charged by authorities for aiding and abetting the operations of some of criminal cartels between the US and Mexico. Corporate personhood is the legal notion that corporations have many of the same legal rights and responsibilities enjoyed by natural flesh and blood people. They can own property, sue and be sued, donate to political campaigns, and even have defended religious beliefs
 
 but if a normal person was found laundering money for cartels and the North Korean Nuclear Program, they would be living it up, here in ADX Florence IF THEY WERE LUCKY. HSBC on the other hand still operates across the world, and their punishment for these crimes would be like a normal person getting a fine for roughly 2 months of their wages
 So if corporations are legally people
 why can’t they be arrested? If companies see fines as “just the cost of doing business” what reasonable punishments are there for organizations that break the law which DOESN’T just end up punishing innocent employees and the wider economy more than it does the people with actual discretion over how these companies act?

 Groundbreaking journalism I know, but what most people don’t realize is just HOW concentrated this has really become
 Private Equity now controls as much as 20% of the entire US economy, top index funds now own 20 - 30% of all major companies listed in America, and even good old fashioned fraud is getting bigger and more concentrated
 And who can blame them? Economies of scale have encouraged businesses
 to scale
 markets, responded to Too Big To Fail by becoming Too Big To Fail
 but what does this actually mean for regular people? There is the “mOraL” argument that so many resources being controlled by such a small few is
 you know
 unfair
 but let’s be honest, you’ve already made up your mind on that and no YouTube video is going to change it one way or another
 Instead what ACTUALLY matters here is how much farther can this go
 and what happens to markets when these people have nobody left to sell to
 but themselves? Follow to learn How Money Works.

Credit card debt is at an all-time high, a majority of Americans can’t afford a $1,000 expense without going into debt, and even one third of people that earn two hundred and fifty THOUSAND dollars a year [$250,000] OR MORE live paycheck to paycheck. But is this a good thing for the small minority that do keep their spending in check? Or can we afford for everybody to be financially responsible? If everybody was financially responsible there would be nobody left to spend money on disposable consumer junk, overpriced restaurant meals, leased pickups and day trading courses, but all of these purchases give other people a job. If YOU are being financially responsible, are you denying an opportunity to someone else to be financially responsible? And does that mean that you should be grateful to all the people living pay check to pay check? The average American is not in a comfortable financial position at the moment and it’s the same story everywhere around the world. Money that people saved up in the pandemic has evaporated and credit card debt has taken its place. But how much of this is recklessness and how much of this is people who do not make enough money to keep up? So it’s time to learn How Money Works, to find out if we can really afford for everybody to be financially responsible, and if we would even want that to happen. Follow to learn How Money Works.
