  1. Bottom up thinking means we don't need as many people at the top.

  2. No wealthy person argues against govt spending as that means more money in the economy and as they own all the businesses it means more wealth for them, govt spending has driven shares through the roof, along with all asset prices Comments like this that are opposite of reality get upvoted because it's negative rich but not helpful because it's not factual.

  3. The business of govt is business, they do not care about us.

  5. They have succeeded in keeping the myth that money has more value than the debt it is. The "poor" keep believing it's money that is valuable instead of direction, which is all choice, that money is what we need to be able to live, instead of choice. We could feed, shelter and offer society medical care as well all free. The rich have you convinced to be able to live, you must hold bank debt. The attitude pf the rich is that you must keep working dead end jobs that do nothing overall but keep the system of debt turning over as it has done for hundreds of years. "They" have succeeded because send our children to education centres run by people at the top, that we don't trust and need replacing.

  6. A property tax makes no sense as it will be passed to us. The money for those properties doesn't exist, price is an indication of the debt that has passed through it. All money is debt so asking for debt to pay debt is never going to work long term, unless new debt is always being entered, is this what you are asking for 1% per annum to be added to your costs? Stop trying to bend the system that is directly working against you, by asking for more money which is all debt based. If tax makes money disappear then it can't be a tax as won't that mean less money in the system?

  7. Because change of society completely to a controlled low consumption model is the only way to impact the climate in a positive way.

  8.  @coopsnz1  You make strange comments that are hard to understand, is english your second language your other comment needed deciphering and I don't think lefties forget that

  9. There is nothing wrong with money, per se, it was always the love of it for it's own sake, now it's all just banker debt they love.

  10. Because people have creativity that surpasses what work stifles, if we go back to the style of living of the enlightenment period, or the romantic period, through not working, arts will come back, there is a part of humans where beauty and style is more important than money Edit : we are products of our environment, we only have to change the environment of what we do/choose

  16. 99.97% of the mass of the atmosphere is only 100k or 62 mile high. If you go above three and a half k you would need breathing apparatus, the point is every bit of stored carbon we are using in the range of 100 million 42 gallon drums daily is being put into this tiny sliver of atmosphere. In a tank of diesel is the same amount of energy as my total electrical energy for 3,2 months in an Australian summer with the air con going 24-7, if somebody uses a tank a week for a year that is equal to 17 years of my electrical energy. We put this carbon in and it's not 0.04% of the atmosphere, all this mass is around us because of gravity, carbon gas mass, when it's parts per million, it is how many there are per million molecules. One million molecules is a really tiny amount of space, there are trillions and trillions just in the kilogram of air and all the square metres above you. We are now at around 430 molecules of carbon for each and every million sized parcel of air. Now, radiation from the sun hits the earth, this heat needs to leave again, it travels through us to space again, if there are trillions and trillions of absolute squillions of more molecules that can absorb this heat, it slows down the transfer of heat, and you can not add to any system without it meaning something. The meaning something in this case is when God was supposedly around he didn't have an Esky so he left all the ice, that cools us to this temperature, roughly what we have had 15,000 years, he/she left it all out in the open. Now we both believe that you can't add energy/heat to a system like that without it meaning something. They can of course work out what is coming and the way we are going it will be total destruction of everything you've known, should you call that alarmist I am not sure but it's the speed we are talking about this time. The temps they think we are going to go to because of this increased forced radiation has been on the earth before, and plants and animals lived. That time it took 700,000 years to reach that temp, this time they reckon we will do it in one thousand years, to a temp that nothing alive today has experienced and might mean instead of the average temperature of the earth being 15 it might be 30. As we have taken millions of years to adapt and humans are now alive at a temperature that no human has experienced, in fact 3 million years, this isn't alarmist nonsense, this is something the sooner older people stop saying things they can't explain their way out of logically, the better. I understand change is hard considering something that is classed as normal your whole life has to change but the truth is there if you want to see it. The powers that be would rather lie and keep everyone slaves than lose or change themselves, they are more likely afraid of total collapse if they finally told the real truth. The truth is windmills aren't going to stop the next 30 years because of the lag affect and of course for you that will be ok, myself probably as well. I will say again, we can not add energy to a system without it meaning something, just because you might not fully understand the whole issue does not in any way mean this is climate alarmism, what you should be more concerned with is the lack of alarm and why, imo.

  17. No-one refuses to take money and they create that at a cost of four cents per hundred dollars, which we have to pay back full value, with our life's efforts and this money that we must have, this debt of other people, that loses value the more we hold it until it becomes worthless, is something we base our lives around, bank debt. Define scam?

  18.  @physiocrat7143  Taxes on rents are absorbed and not a cost of business? ANd not a tax deduction, or passed to the consumer, where do you get this idea from?

  19. We need to invest in people but we can't give them money because then they will spend it emitting energy which we have to cut, jobs we have to also cut. Stay home and we'll send you food. World had a 400% increase in people the last 80 years, be lucky to be 40 the next, last year the world sold enough food for everybody to gain weight which is enough reason to cut fertiliser, we don't need the production growth we need better soil.

  20.  @fylbike  Last year the world produced enough food for everybody in the whole world to gain weight, while we have obesity and starvation, we don't have a supply problem and if fertiliser made from gas emits a different gas that is 300 times worse than CO2, ruins the soil and waterways, and if farming is a job and we don't need more food, then I agree they should reign in production and go back to regenerative, ie animal manure, farming.

  21. @Betweoxwitegan Considering they own all the assets then, YES, they always love govt spending.

  23. the wider aluminium industry supports the employment of 108,000 FTE jobs across the UK and the contribution of £9.4bn in GVA to the UK economy. The aluminium production sector alone accounts for £1.9bn in GVA and supports 16,500 jobs

  24. It will be the speed this time, we are warmer than all interglacials and warm weather isn't climate, an average of 14 degrees raising to an average 10-15 degrees above that isn't something any Roman has seen. This is accelerated climate change and nothing of the last 15,000 years are valid as a base for the future, we are now warmer than any time in 3 million years and getting warmer, what's to make of a complete change of every thing you've known?
    7
  25.  @Hickalum  And you understand the term accelerated global warming and that we are warmer now than the last 3 million years means nothing of the past can be used as a guide, right though? You understand the plants we have grown with have come from times much colder, apples for instance need cold weather. The only problem is I see people thinking they have the answer when they don't understand the problem, like you. The things you mention are quite honestly, low hanging fruit, it's the other things we did, or didn't do but insurance companies are leaving communities, properties are being devalued and people are losing their lives. What profit do you think there is for people who have been flooded five times this year in France, have you not seen the devastation, when will you stop helping these large corporation by saying there's nothing wrong because that's all you are helping.

  28. "Bank" not banks, the RBA, the banks fund us. It's unsettling to realise that debt is created at around 4 cents per hundred dollars to create and we pay it back with our lives, full value. Edit I suppose we fund them with money borrowed from commercial banks, to pay their borrowings, half our life's work efforts go towards the govt through income, fuel, gst "taxes" just to take money out of the system, instead of making our lives easier by doing less, absolutely crazy system.but we have to understand "they" have been trading thousands of years with money and promissory notes and we were born into a debt based system thinking money is valuable without understanding it is just banker debt. Can you imagine any Australian politician coming out and truly explaining money, it makes me think business interests need the dumbest people at the "top"

  29. @Jack-bs6zb Ps : You say free money, but this money costs four cents per hundred dollars to create, we have to earn that and pay it back full value, with an interest rate applied with our life's efforts and it will be sucked from you until you have none or you die. This is far from cheap.

  30. Europe has lowered energy consumption 1% per annum since 2008, 23 countries supposed to lose half their populations by 2100 and world pop. 10 % growth of the last 80 years, for the next 80 years. If the world is a business and it had 400% growth in 80 years and 40% the next 80, difficult to manufacture more growth with no new products.

  31. @nanajan-x3n No, because all money goes to the private sector, there is no public without us.

  33. Rich people do not hoard or store money depriving us, because they know it is debt and debt always has an interest rate applied so it must be working for you or it devalues. Money is debt, rich people can get into debt a lot easier because they have other assets, money is inputted into the system through loans that they can get any time they want, yes there might be a trickle down with the things they buy but mostly they buy assets which make money, like a business or property, that we are paying rent to. As more money ( debt) enters the system, then prices for these assets are an indication of the amount of debt that has gone through the property. All money in the world is based on debt and the prices for property, that money does not actually exist, as all money is debt, as soon as the loan is taken out and paid off that money does not exist. Then what can happen is a place might have a fire, it might be a windy day, 8 or 9 fires might somehow start at the same time in different places, the state insurance company will cancel fire insurance a few months before, the reservoir that has had funding for ten years remains undone and unfilled even though last year was the wettest and they would all be full. Then during a drought and major warnings from all fire departments the mayor will go away on a goodwill trip to Ghana, after donating all spare fire equipment to Ukraine. Along with that the Governor will be trying to make the place multi density for high-rises but of course was getting a lot of pushback considering the area and the neighbours, then what can happen is the banks or Blackrock because that's what has happened in Hawaii after the fires, will either repossess or give a low ball offer and because a company like Blackrock, the 1% rich people, they can then get loans for more debt, which we peasants call money.

  34. I doubt there is a boomer who wasn't touched by those times, fathers and grandfathers either did or didn't make it home but you seem to think one generation holds control of the system while they have been controlled by it as well, your blame is misdirected if we realise half the carbon has been emitted in the last 30 years. We have a monetary system where not many people realise all money is bank debt and how many younger people are refusing money? How many younger people have shown the way by consuming 90% less, than they did ten years ago? Saying one generation is all the same and the blame for all things, while no=one else does anything different is handy but self deceptive imo.

  35. I would say being fiscally responsible can only happen if the environment is at the epicentre and essentials should be given free, as that's the only way to keep control on consumption.

  36. @ Why are you laughing, what was funny about the question or statement? He himself said the goal of the channel is education about money. Most people don't know where it comes from

  37. What about the leaders that were removed in the 60's, presidents included and then we have been using oil people have been unalived over?

  38. People don't know what they want, they don't understand where money or oil comes from and economically they want money without realising it is all debt.

  39. Stop thinking it's one person, this is global.

  40. It's a ridiculous notion breaking up assets as assets are what is borrowed against. Removing assets values means less money in the system overall. Anybody who asks for a wealth tax on assets doesn't understand all money is debt and doesn't exist in a debt free world.

  41. Now I disagreed with your first part about taking out of people's minds the concepts of paid back because if it stops then govt spending has to stop otherwise money builds up but I get your point regarding all debt is money, I think that's the thing that trips all people I have told, every single one, that every single dollar that exists, an amount of debt does too, that what we call money is just one side of a ledger and people to think how much of their life they have spent to make bankers rich, I think it is quite confronting, they all believe money built up in society like gold. For you to say he should do a video about national taxes don't pay for govt spending makes me think this is your first video?

  42. The enlightenment period throughout Europe was supposed to have stopped slavery as a system and they say any real social change needs the bourgeois to be on board first.

  45.  @jameswlong  I own my property and vehicle outright, I still pay on them. If I owned then I shouldn't have to keep paying now should I? You pay to the state not for services, not at the rate they charge. Take out taxes and govt fee's how much of your life has been yours

  46. As all money is based on debt, pensions are a debt instrument and a way for govt to input money into society, be hard to imagine them getting rid of it.

  47. "People" could be looked after much better than they are now, money is backed by nothing, it is just a mean of exchange and we think it valuable.

  50. @Betweoxwitegan Oh you are silly, an increased amount of money is inflation, more debt into the system means the money supply is inflated. A silly notion that public housing will bring down house prices is just absolutely ridiculous, sorry. You have an opinion, but this is not fact, you are wrong, hovt spending, because it is all new money can only increase the money supply, inflation is not just a rising of prices on its own, it is because of the increased money supply, which you seem to be ignoring, quite confidently, but incorrectly. edit the only way more money isn't inflationary is because more taxes, which don't pay for govt spending, as Richard says.
