  1. Tamen Ω you mean Belgium isn't part of France?

  2. Yeah EE is wide of the mark here, definitely a huge miss. Feels like a propaganda piece tbh

  3. Dan Cojocaru people can be better off without economic growth. Economic growth is only there to make the rich richer

  4. Ryan King yep. It's OK for big business and corporates to fail outright and get bailouts but not workers. It's also OK for companies to commit fraud with the furlough scheme because hmrc have pretty much said that they won't be investigating any claims of fraudulent use of the scheme because its too big a job, yet they're happy to chase disabled people off benefits and hunt down sole traders and self employed who might have skipped paying a few grand in tax. Meanwhile companies in the cayman Islands can get away with paying nothing

  5.  @nessie1668  don't forget 5g and the reptilians. Mind you this is an economics channel so perhaps he's just sticking to that

  6.  @nessie1668  life I said mate it's an economics channel. He doesn't talk about 5g, the scamdemic, the vaccine or the lizard people pedophiles either. I guess you'll have to find another channel for all that but don't worry there's plenty out there

  7. James the imf is one big debt trap. So is the EU for countries like Greece and Italy

  8. "Can and do manage their exchange rates, supports national companies with state funds" - sounds a lot like America to me, even before the corona crisis

  9. Yeah it makes me laugh when people who clearly have no knowledge at all of using the technology think they know it all. I wrote an AI prompt generator in December, I’ve revised and refined it since then, using a prompt engineer prompt i got the prompt generator prompt to write. You don’t need anyone to write prompts, AI can write the best prompts you can possibly think of in seconds without any effort, and then review and improve upon them. He got pretty much everything else wrong in this video too.

  10.  @nessie1668  there was me thinking an countries are economics based. Which ones aren't? And tell us about the lizard people, are they economics based too?

  11.  @bonda_racing3579  less strict housing regulations led to cladding buildings in combustible materials and an absolute disaster of epic proportions in the UK. No thanks mate. We need stricter housing regulations, just not ones that live the pockets of housing officials and their developer friends on the golf course. What we need is public taxpayer oversight of every meeting, document, tender process and decision to eliminate corruption. We also need a specialist task force aimed at investigating and prosecuting political corruption and far stiffer penalties

  12. It’s already happening, even before AI has started to have a big impact. Consumer choice in the U.K. has deteriorated massively for the general population over the past ten years, with the decimation of the high street. There is far less competition and far more susceptibility to inflation and shortages.

  13. This is what happens when you ignore a global pandemic and don't deal with it

  14. Welcome to the UK. We've got 100k dead from covid, been on lockdown all year, the economy has shrunk by over a quarter and no one can afford a house, unless you're rich or already own one of course
    6
  15.  @MrDanisve  try living in the U.K., cheap wages and expensive energy that no one can afford

  16. @Sic Semper Tyrannis III yeah and my mate dave down the pub told me all about 5g and flat earth
    5
  17.  @nessie1668  got any good flat earth stories?
    5
  18.  @bonda_racing3579  what's wrong with public housing
    5
  19. Also new Zealand : no lockdowns, full pubs and stadiums, restaurants, theatres and clubs open, house parties and picnics allowed. Most people in the UK aren't ebbed allowed to leave their house and ask you want to do is get in one. Care to swap?

  20.  @bonda_racing3579  I guess you haven't been keeping up with the news. Lookup Grenfell, how many people died and were made homeless, and the hundreds of thousands of people who are now left in flats that are certified deathtraps, that are worth nothing and that they can't sell or afford to move out of
    5
  21. @Sic Semper Tyrannis III but they keep telling us about it so it's we can't help but see it coming
    4
  22. @Sic Semper Tyrannis III yep since about 30 years ago. A pandemic was the no. 1 risk to our society, until the 2008 crash we were apparently reasonably well prepared for it with huge stocks of ppe etc, then the bean counters decided to sell it all off to save the pennies due to austerity

  23. Dan Cojocaru I think it was jfk who said gdp measures everything except the things that really matter to people. And Einstein who said not everything you can count is important. And not everything that is important can be counted.

  24. ddandymann geography and world economy kinda dictated that tbh

  25. Ali G maybe you haven't been keeping up with current events? The USA is a basket case of a country

  26. Krisztián Kőrösi more of a dead cert than a necessity

  27. This Video is very late and very poorly done, with no clear overstating of the technology itself, how it’s being used, how to use it properly, the explosion in the marketplace of similar alternatives and the massive increase in other AI tools and upgrade releases on a weekly basis.

  28.  @nessie1668  wow you sound so intelligent I bet you're brilliant at snap

  29. Do you think erdegon is going to allow free elections and free journalistic coverage of them?

  30. KittyCow lol no it doesn't. There's another financial crisis round the corner

  31. integ3r absolutely. Has been for a long time

  32. You need to put the chapters in your video line most other YouTubers do these days

  33. The majority of the population in Western economies have seen wages and standards of living stagnate for the last ten years. In Japan they've seen the same thing for 20. I'm not sure that's going to change anytime soon. This generation is likely to grow up worse off than their parents

  34. Tbh it’s a typical take of someone who don’t know how to use it properly. His economic tales are pretty hit and miss these days, he’s more interested in pushing a political agenda than getting the economics right, this is the guy who said inhalation would come straight back down without interest rates going up and we’d all be in a boom right now. If he can’t get basic economics right he’s got no chance with AI. The last time we saw something this profound was the mechanisation of agriculture

  35. Once you build an infrastructure, you open up areas to economic regeneration hitherto untouched. Look at how the railroads opened up the Wild West in America, or how the internet and smart phone networks have opened up the world
    2
  36.  @terencedoherty7386  what you’ve just said sounds like capitalism to me. And as China has had by far the greatest economic growth in the world for over 30 years they seem to be better at it than anyone else

  37.  @zyilund  nobody is counting the benefits in time cost and quality of life due to the reduction in traffic.

  38. Been saying this shit for years. It'll all end in tears, I know it

  39. Here's an idea, when you vote you should also get to choose how say 50% of the taxes you pay gets spent by allocating them to various departments. Financial democracy

  40.  @none199415  no worries, when they started going over his head I realised he was even stupider than I thought. His claims that denying the holocaust, and continually insisting Israel be talked about but being too scared or too stupid to spell it properly or explain why, aren't antisemitic, just proves it

  41. Advanced civilisations existed a lot longer than 10 000 years ago

  42.  @bonda_racing3579  so what you're saying is public housing is beneath you it's just for the plebs?
    2
  43.  @bonda_racing3579  lots of buildings are built and remain empty as they are investments and assets, say on a banks balance sheet
    2
  44.  @bonda_racing3579  it's bureaucracy mate, for future reference

  45.  @EconomicsExplained  well they certainly got attention...not sure it's the attention they really wanted

  46.  @ootoobin do you realise these policies are being pushed by big corporates?

  47. Means working for yourself your family and your community and not to make profits for corporate billionaires

  48. Zehua Zhong same people who built the roads and railways in America

  49. volce wagen not just African countries. Look at American leadership

  50. Sounds like a rehashing of Roosevelt's new deal to me
