They play a key role in influencing local, state, national and even global policy by hiring the smartest people in the world and paying them huge salaries to argue their point of view into the ears of people with power. Some of the biggest think tanks in America have more influence over legislation than our elected officials and have become so integrated into the political process that Washington would grind to a halt without them. It’s easy to see why people believe that think tanks are shadowy organizations pulling the strings of power, while insiders claim that they are just a cog in the machine keeping democracy intact… But what the do these organizations actually do? Politicians create laws in so many diverse fields that it’s literally impossible for them to actually understand most of it. If you woke up one day and found yourself elected to federal congress then you are going to need to review bills that get introduced so you can make an informed vote to pass or block it. But when the men and women who decide how the country is being run rely on unelected experts getting huge salaries from… somewhere?… you already know that there are going to be bad outcomes, but I am here to tell you that… it’s even worse than you think… So it’s time to learn How Money Works to find out what think tanks actually do Follow to learn How Money Works.

How American Generals Are Being Paid Millions To Serve Foreign Governments - How Money Works Upgrade the way you learn with Brilliant! To get started for FREE go to http://www.brilliant.org/howmoneyworks Sign up for my newsletter https://compoundeddaily.com 👈 Washington Post Investigation (A Must Read For More Details) - https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/interactive/2022/veterans-us-foreign-jobs-saudi-arabia/ Let’s say you devote your life to military service. You enrol in officer training and work up the ranks until one day you are a general with combat experience in whichever country the States decided had too much oil. American Generals, and Admirals make are O-10 level employees and make a base salary of $203,000 a year, with generous benefits and bonuses for deployment. That’s good money to most people, especially when it continues as a lifetime military pension of $180,000, every single year, for doing nothing, once you have put in your twenty years of service. Service men and women EARN every last cent of this money and people who have dedicated their lives to serving in our armed forces should be looked after, the system is much better at looking after the top brass than the common soldier, but that’s besides the point. I could never do this job and I respect anybody that can, at least I did until the world started learning about what they do after their career comes to an end (or just get’s started depending on how you look at it) The retirement benefits of a military general should be good enough for anybody to live of off, but some don’t see it this way. Some think that Generals are basically chief executives of large organisations with tens of thousands of employees, handling billions of dollars, and working on the most challenging projects in the world. When you put it like that, the public service pay scale starts to look a bit mediocre… Leaders in the private sector are making millions of dollars a year for the same level of work and they don’t spend their time in active warzones. So to set things right, high level military leaders have taken a page out of the investment banking interns playbook. It’s not about the money they are making right now, it’s about the job they CAN get once they have padded out their resume a bit. So it’s time to learn how money works to find out how America’s top military leadership are using their careers to score obscenely lucrative contracts with some not so friendly governments. ----- #howmoneyworks #retirementplanning #military Edited By: Andrew Gonzales Music Courtesy of: Epidemic Sound Select Footage Courtesy of: Getty Images For sponsorship inquiries, please contact sponsors@worksmedia.group Follow to learn How Money Works.

The most intense global trade war in modern history has been threatened and then paused, and threatened, and paused, and threatened, and paused again… SEVEN different times now! By the time YOU are watching THIS video that number might have changed again. Global economic uncertainty is at record highs and while the stock market may have recovered (for now), REAL people are starting to feel the consequences of this little game as layoffs are accelerated, hiring is frozen, prices are increasing and interest rates are spiking. Now I already know what you are thinking, there is nothing about these trade wars that hasn’t been said already. And that’s actually exactly the problem. For a variety of reasons even highly respectable outlets and experts have been trying to find what the “real” meaning is behind the flip flop trade war… Be it a secret plan to reduce interest rates before we refinance our debt, redefining the role of the US dollar as a global reserve or just some 4D UNO negotiating tactic. These explanations are very entertaining and appealing to people who want to make sense of a situation that could really impact their personal financial situation But… if you want to look for deeper meaning where there is none, you should have majored in art history, not gone into journalism, economics or businesses. Sometimes, bad ideas… are just bad ideas… and not acknowledging this has caused problems in politics and businesses well before we started putting tariffs on penguins.

Soldiers returned home, young, dumb and full of… patriotic spirit and (especially here in America), this family centered growth coincided with what many believe to be the golden age of capitalism. Homes were cheap, the free market was providing newfangled products to consume, jobs could provide a stable and comfortable living, and the only thing left to do was to get busy starting a family. Now this is such a rose tinted version of history that it borders on being inaccurate, but that doesn’t actually matter. Today we are dealing with expensive homes, overconsumption of disposable consumer junk and jobs that are extremely insecure. So naturally the most pressing question for governments around the world is… how to make people make babies again? Follow to learn How Money Works.
