Hearted Youtube comments on Garys Economics (@garyseconomics) channel.

  1. Thank you for not putting this behind a paywall those of us that really need this information can't afford one..

  2. The inequality also makes the class divide even worse, and there is a feeling of shame especially as a man for not being able to provide for your children and your partner. Walking around London you are also constantly reminded that you arent where you need to be to even feel accepted. I can only see this getting worse unfortunately.

  3. Yes Gary, keep fighting the good fight. We need voices like yours now more than ever!

  4. I don't honestly think that Keir Starmer would understand any of that. Happy for him to prove me wrong. I like being proven wrong. Not a political comment as there are very few in the Tory Party that would either. What does it mean to be human is the question for the human race at the moment. What does it mean? Gary is one in a million, he is equipped to see our problems from every angle; economic, socially and morally. All I really know is that we should listen to him before it's too late and inequality destroys humanity.

  5. Mate. No one else is fighting for us. It is a marathon not a sprint. Keep doing what you are doing and change will happen. Thank you for all your efforts.

  6. Hey Gary are you able to chat about the wage price spiral theory at some stage please? I feel that the media are using it to convince us to think we shouldn't have decent wages

  7. As a Nigerian Prince trying to do this legitimately, this makes my blood boil tbh.

  8. Best video yet. “Tax work less, tax wealth more”. That’s a slogan Tee I’d buy ❤

  9. In economics it's called Marginal propensity to consume. Which is the economic fact that the richer you are the lower percent of your money you spend in the economy it either goes into savings, offshore or assets which do nothing for the economy. Whereas every pound given to a poorer person would be spent in the economy.

  10. It is Wednesday my dude, and you were so right with this video, even the PM tried to claim this as one of his "wins" while announcing the election. What a clown show.

  11. Please don't just comment on this page. As Gary has said repeatedly - we must get politically active. I stood in the local elections last week and continually related to inequality and the disappearing middle class during the campaign. I topped the poll in a middle-class property owning ward and got the highest vote in the new boundaries and the highest vote overall since 2007 on the old boundaries. We have stop the decline of the middle by people from the middle taking power from the elite and then taxing the wealth of the elite to grow the middle and save the economy and the planet.

  12. Thanks Gary. We should also ask what has happened to National Debt. In 2010 when the Tories came to power it was around £1 trillion by Tory estimates, and that was after we bailed out the banks due to a cross-party decision. It's now over £2.8 trillion almost tripled in just 12 years, despite the dramatic cuts to public services. This a huge slice of our GDP.

  13. Someone once said "there's a lot of crabs in a barrel, but crabs don't belong in a barrel and no one ever thinks about that." This lecture was so real, you spend all this time fighting for financial freedom and then realise why it had to be a fight in the first place.

  14. I’m a late starter due to various reasons. These days there’s so much information and opinions and dream sellers. It’s a real blessing to find integrity and conscious honest realism. Thanks for taking the turn on your path that you did. You’re giving me the life lessons I missed. Peace brother 🙏🏻

  15. Its not the money that matters, its the security that comes with it. That's the real wealth. To me anyways. thanks dude!
    160
  16. We need more people like you standing up and telling the truth.

  17. Academic economics is certainly an interesting topic. Having studied it for 3 years (masters this autumn) it is clear that it tends to eat challenging and intellectual individuals and turn them into robots by the end of the undergraduate level. The whole ”Think like an economist” crap is sadly not in the best interest of the society.

  18. Gary, I'm a lot older than you, but have had some of the same experience with the rich. My parents both grew up dirt poor and had very little until my dad lost his job--the owner gave it to his young son. He started a business, got lucky and moved across town. It was a brutal learning experience. I didn't have a friend for a year and like, people wouldn't even talk to me just because of who I was. I wasn't an ace at math but my ticket in was that I was a good athlete. Once people figured that out I was invited in and it was BIZARRE. I can't do what you do and get it across to people that we are all being played and have to learn to accept each other. I hope you have some kind of movement in mind because with your diverse experience and ability you could be the guy to lead us out. I'm with you!

  19. Gary, can you give us a costing breakdown of where this £700billion (so far) has come from so when we're asked we can defend the figure. Is it taxpayers money (Govt debt) and how has it gone to the rich ? It's a great soundbite and will gain traction if used often enough so we all have to understand exactly how it's happened and how we arrived at that figure (because the media and politicians WILL challenge it and we have to be able to explain it SIMPLY). Keep up the great work, the movement is growing, I want to see you get to over 1 million subscribers

  20. Thank you Gary. Please keep on keeping on. INEQUALITY MATTERS. To fellow followers please share far and wide.
    156
  21. We also have to teach our kids the other side of the coin. That it is OK to look out for each other that it is OK to think and act collectively. This is a long term problem which is going to require a long term solution, we need to engage with young people now as it's going to be their generation and the generations beyond them that this will affect the most and let's be honest, they aren't going to be taught this in our current schooling system. GREAT WORK AS ALWAYS GARY, thank you! 👍🏻
    155
  22. Gary has a really good way of reserving his contempt for people with power, while ensuring not to condescend to ordinary people.
    155
  23. Please don’t give up Gary, your message is being spread. It takes time to open people’s eyes to the truth.❤
    154
  24. The fact that you have money and you’re choosing to spend your free time telling people about your point of view is really commendable. Keep on Gary
    153
  25. I f**king love this guy. Stumbled upon him 2 weeks ago and have binged his entire video library and listened to his audiobook. What a legend.
    152
  26. Call me naive, but I genuinely feel there's no agenda and little ego at work here, I feel like this isn't even really content creation persae, it's a person doing a genuine kindness for others and his main goal is sharing knowledge. Thank you Gary, subscribed.
    151
  27. As 66 year old poor boy I recognise your life story and your conclusions. Thanks for putting it into word's. Have a brilliant holiday and come back revitalised and keep pushing your message. If I were younger I'd join you in pushing the message, but my health restricts me. But I wholeheartedly support you. And swearing is just our learn way of expressing ourselves don't loose it as it reminds other's you really mean what you say.

  28. It's amazing how once you understand inequality, almost everything else makes sense and falls into place. For example, I read news articles from NBC about how economists are surprised that people are still quitting their jobs and demanding higher wages, and even with wages being higher some people aren't working - Well of course! What difference is $13/hr to $15/hr when the price of a home has doubled in 3 years. People would rather opt out of the game than play a game they feel is a lose lose for them regardless. I just makes so much sense.
    151
  29. You have seen what's behind the curtain and have a deep understanding of the problem. What a brilliant talk.
    151
  30. You know a key telling that Gary is legit? He's not asking for money, I know majority of people in Gary's position would be trying to make money off us. Gary's not because of where he came from and he hasn't forgotten his roots. With you till the end Gary Stevenson!

  31. I've literally just had a labour party member knock on my door asking me how I'm voting for the upcoming local election and what my views are, I spent 10 mins talking to her about wealth inequity and how labour need that to be the most burning issue they address and they do they have my vote. I shocked myself at how pasionate comprehensive I sounded, and they came from the knowledge and insight gained from watching your videos. Thank you so much for the energy you are bringing to this, exactly what the public need to hear.
    151
  32. I always get as much anxiety as I do delight when I watch your videos - anxiety because what you're describing is so fragile and terrifying; delight because you're so talented at and committed to communicating your insights
    149
  33. God bless this man
    149
  34. Dude, you take it easy man. You are one courageous individual. Fair play. Make sure you have a strong support group because the passion and emotional intensity you put into those debates comes at a price, particularly when it shines from authenticity. You can't do that alone.
    148
  35. Dude, you are blowing my mind with how much this resonates with how the economy 'feels' rather than how we were told it works. I was feeling smug about my huge mortgage being inflated away, but this makes me think that my 'sell the house' retirement plan might not work out so well for our daughter. The truth hurts. All of the government interventions that have enriched the already rich: 'Never let a good crisis go to waste' - Winston Churchill
    147
  36. Clear, concise and applicable to Canada, where I live. Should be shown in every school economics class.
    146
  37. Standing right beside xxx Look after your mental health, Keep going Gary Thank you so much x
    145
  38. As a Dutchman I'd love to see your analysis of the Netherlands. Also, not that you haven't got enough to do, but if and when your platform grows, applying your analyses to other countries would make for an even more interesting platform. In the end I believe these problems touch us all.
    145
  39. Gary is a natural orator, is able to explain so clearly. Cannot argue with a single point. Great stuff, more videos please
    145
  40. Never underestimate the power of social media. Best of luck with your book, mate.
    144
  41. Enjoyed your interview with James O'Brien. Hopefully you'll be contributing on his show from time to time.
    144
  42. Gary, you’re a lighthouse in these dark times. Can’t tell you how much I appreciate you
    144
  43. The Nazi party only had to convince 10% of the people that they should go to war..the rest followed.The moral of the story is education critical thinking and a genuine love for our fellow man.Kindness is a currency that is becoming a rare comodity and its far more precious than diamonds.Great channel.
    143
  44. I’ve been listening to Gary for years now, I am qualified in economics (UCL) and I totally agree with his extrapolations of where we are going in our economy and it is becoming more and more obvious that capital is being polarised to the already wealthy. I will be buying the book. Shout out to Simran, clever guys
    143
  45. I want Gary to be Chancellor, he wants the best solutions for the people, not the oppressive 'attack services,the poor, young and marginalised' solutions to every economic crises
    143
  46. Finally the channel is growing at a reasonable rate. Continue the good work Gary - people will follow you.
    142
  47. You're the teacher at school that I would have looked forward to being in your lesson so much. These videos are like a really good school lesson.

  48. My dad paid the final mortgage payment in 1989 on our family 3 bed townhouse on an estate in Hackney, East London. He had a normal job as a painter for Tower Hamlets council, but he could afford to buy that property on his own under right to buy, think it was 75k. When he passed away in 2011, we sold it for 340k and now it's tagged up for 560k. Asset inflation is killing everywhere especially London, I feel for the young. I'm Glad you're making these videos Gary, to spot light WTF is going on out here.
    141
  49. The comparison to the merchant class marrying into aristocracy is so accurate, another banger Gary!
    140
  50. I live in Hanoi, Vietnam, and a lot of what Gary says here makes sense. The city is overpopulated, polluted and stressful to live in, but there is a sense in which people have to live there. I'm a teacher and I would love to get out of the city, move my family to nice part of the country, but there is no way I'd get paid anything like as much. Ironically, it would be difficult to find good quality education for our boy also.
