  1. 6:50 japan had low growth which is the definition of crowding out. Why does she lie so blatantly?

  2. So what? If we took mary Barra pay of 30 million, which is high, and divide it among her 167k workers. We can pay each worker an additional $180. The reason they focus on CEO pay is so that you guys won't be able to focus on the real issues in America. Absolutely nothing will change for you if we pay CEOs nothing and give it to all the workers. It's a less than 0.5% pay rise for Americans.

  3. Yup. They're just trying to get people ready for the midterms. Kinda gross how dirty CNBC is.

  4. OK, you are reporting the Ukraine starlink bull crap, knowing full well the secretary of state said space x did not violate any service agreement with Crimea, nor did it block anything. It didn't move its own satellites over Crimea. You seriously think you're allowed to commit treason? Shut up. You guys shill so hard, it's terrible

  5. Everybody? When have you heard of regulations against yachts and private jets? Lol. This is for the poor. There have been zero proposed regulations that effect the rich.

  6. They do. People just like to pretend it's all broken and cry. They have a strong survivorship bias. Investors get wiped out every day on these dumb Investments. People focus on Amazon, etc. And forget, there were literally a thousand+ tries to get that Amazon. People lost billions gambling on startups, failing, until Amazon won. If it was so broken, you'd see these people wanting to put their money in, but they never do, they just complain. Because in reality, they don't get it, it just feels good to whine with the crowd.

  9. ​ @TENNSUMITSUMA no, it's kept in a national fund, held in American stocks. So it's something only a small nation can do. If America did similar the government would own the whole stock market, and we would have a central controlled economy. The wealth is just, there.... So, you could go your whole life and never spend the full benefit of your "portion" of that wealth. Also, you're dependent on america delivering good stock returns. So you have to keep america capitalistic. If America ever said "I don't care about economic growth" like some people are now, thats not good. I've got a lot to say on the matter, it's not bad, but it's not good. Keep in mind, I work in the financial industry, specifically with pensions, so, I don't want to advocate against my customer.... They pay us literally enough to make a few new billionaires, an insane number of new millionaires(I mean, I seen lower level entry people pull in a million in a good year) so, I really don't like advocating against pensions. Pensions are really really really good for my industry.... For people? Well... Like I said.... You may never even spend your "pension" benefit, so it's better it goes to you directly, and I personally, would never ever ever ever sign up for a pension system instead of contributing to my own personal. But.... I mean... I really really need you to believe in pensions... For my personal benefit...

  11. 2:15 so... She got a benefit, already being a relatively high earner and a person who didn't take student loans out, got no benefit.... Nice... And, to top it all off, they get an additional 10k,just to make sure they vote democratic...

  15. The industry could... Make more efficient engines to save themselves.... Make the combustion engine more efficient and we have a different story. There's really no reason hybrids shouldn't be way more efficient than they currently are. Don't care whether evs are smart or not. Smart? My Tesla stock moons. Not? Oh well. Guess we ruined more of the environment.

  16.  @sonny_digital  how is a one time random cancelation of debt fair? What about the next kids just entering school? This idea makes no sense and is just a free extremely targeted injection of money. What about every person who didn't go to college because they didn't want to take out loans? Now, you just say "oh, sorry, should babe done it, never know, we randomly cancel student get sometimes and you get a 10-50k+ bonus!"

  17. ​ @BlairTravis it's not necessarily democrats or Republicans, but currently, wall st works more through the democratic party. They did it so slowly, you have democrats defending big pharma now. Wall st uses whatever is convenient and right now, the democratic party has so many methods, and they can still blame evil Republicans as the party of business. I mean, the democratic party was able to frame give aways to big businesses in the form of the inflation reduction act and chips act as good for normal Americans. I mean, I'd complain, but, it's funneling the money directly to all of my investments so, I feel like I'm playing the game right. And if this is the game, I'll play rather than complain.

  21. Then do it. Start a company. No one is stopping you from riding the corporate ladder either. Lots of people I know have made millions working at these companies at levels far below ceo. Lol. You do realize some companies pay engineers more than ceos? Some traders have made more than ceos? Ceo pay has to be reported. If Apple pays an engineer 30 million a year, that doesn't have to be reported. In fact, a lot of engineers make 7 figures, to do basically nothing. Just so they don't leave and start competing companies. Same with investment bankers, traders, hell, I seen people pull 9 figure paychecks lol. Hell, come to mention in, in my industry, in slightly adjacent fields, you can make a million dollar bonus, at entry level.

  22. ​ @jascrandom9855 for every dollar it saves in fuel, it spends 5 more. But please, go ahead. I'm already invested in the beneficiary of this grift. You clearly haven't learned how to play the American money game yet. Our politicians show you publicly... You see a massive transportation bill pass, and, you think there isn't going to be a ton of grift projects? This is grift at work, gotta convince the public the stupid idea might work. We're also sucking carbon out the sky (lol). It's amazing what grifts you people greenlight if we just say electric vehicles and climate change enough.

  23. ​ @joekev27 yup. Never mind we can't afford our current roads. Make them more expensive for jobs. Lol, I knew investing in infrastructure when Biden announced would be free money. You guys just throw money without thinking.

  24. ​ @X.MillennialResponder.X yes... But the revenue is only collected by the few shareholders of the company. So... Since I'm one of those few.... Let's do this project, as it takes all of your tax dollars, and transfers it to me. Lol, the biggest illusion is that investors hate taxes. Lol, we don't, we just buy the company the tax dollars flow to. You raise taxes to pay for Ukraine, but we own the defense stocks.... So you rose taxes on people who don't own stocks.... Lol. People are so bad at money.

  27. I don't care that they're getting paid this much but, I do agree that the way they are being paid is stupid, and I do not like paying them up front. I like paying for stock return, which is why I liked Elon musk's compensation package because it meant that he had to 10x the stock value before he got paid. Sadly, he didn't way faster than I thought he would so I never got to buy as much stock as I wanted to. I didn't think he'd do it I under 2 years...

  28. Corporations have smashed all their goals? As a Tesla investor, we didn't make our 50% Revenue goal, we didn't release the cybertruck on time, we didn't release the Roadster on time, we missed so many goals.... So many. We made money though. 😂.

  29. Vf corporation smashed their goals. Stock down 70% over the last 5 years. Lumen smashed it's goals. Steady revenue declines. Stock down 80/90%. Disney smashed it's goals. Stock flat, net income margin down from 15% to 5%. Ya.... Corporations smash all their goals... Like Microsoft with the Zune. Or the kinect. Bruh....

  34.  @leea3531  I think it can be implied that I clearly did my research because I knew that the trim that they are advertising was not correct. My point is they shouldn't be allowed to misrepresent/lie. This is easy research to do for a car, but yet if I had switch this around and I'd said that a financial firm lied to its customers, would you also say "well, you should have done the research."? I'm guessing not especially given the current public zeitgeist against big banks.

  35.  @dertythegrower  I said trim level, not body kit, trim level is what features the car has as base. I wanted heated seats.... Don't confuse trim with body kit. Try to understand people rather than assume they're stupid.

  36.  @alexjones7845  yes, that was their goal, to bait-and-switch me into buying something with high pressure tactics. As you say, this is illegal, and it should be because you are wasting the customers time and you are not allowing efficient markets to occur. If we allow this kind of lying everywhere, then nothing would ever get done and no products would ever get sold because we would all be driving around aimlessly looking to buy a fridge and then getting into a place and have someone try and sell us a pair of shoes because they lied about selling fridges and actually only sell shoes. We lose out on economic efficiency when we allow businesses to lie about what they sell.

  37. ​ @BadBackOz that high profit was when the cars were priced higher. There's a lagged effect to the bottom line. So the price cut Tesla we sell now, are much less profitable. And, labor isn't the only cost. Tesla has the most automated manufacturing facility. All that equipment costs something.... It's not cheap. It's new equipment. This isn't gm/Ford running old plants. All of this is built new. So you're not factoring in trial and error costs.

  39. ​​ @Mcfunface pp loans were your salary.... It was the government paying you through business, so as to not cause unemployment disruption. If we hadn't done the ppp program, no one would have been paid, and the whole country would have went into an insane recession. It's not the same thing. Not even remotely. Student loans were your choice. A government shutdown of all businesses isn't. Also, it's literally in the law, that the government must reimburse business. The ppp program was done to abide by that law. Without it, you would have had businesses sue, and create ppp anyway. There is zero reason why the government should pay your student loans. If that's the case, then why not pay my house off too? My car? I'll buy a Lamborghini then, student loan forgiveness makes no sense, it's just lazy kids who want free money, because they perceive someone else got it. It also just proves, the democratic party is about the middle/high income worker. Not the poorest people, who didn't even get a chance to go to college. That's what you'd think you people would be fighting for. Instead, you want a one time handout that won't affect any future generations. Just shows how selfish the people there have become. I was happy to pay for you before. Now, I see you want handouts for PhDs.... Lol... It's obvious how corrupted you've become.

  41. ​ @Bell_plejdo568p if you pay attention to financial news, you'll have heard. Of countries trying to move off of the US dollar. The reason they can't, is America "spammed" so many us dollar contracts all over the world, that you literally couldn't facilitate trade in any other currency. Not enough of it exists, except dollars. Foreign aid was just one of the insidious ways we did this. Don't play finance with America. You stand zero chance at winning. America has so many things ways of destroying a nation without war. War is just useful because our defense contractors like 10 year contracts, so, if you got the weapons, might as well use em.

  43. "migration is a net positive" Also new York, Chicago, "please don't send migrants to us even though we say it's a net positive." Notice how, migration is a net positive, as long as it's not near them. When it's migrants going into Texas, it's great. When the migrants now are sent to sanctuary cities, woah, their system can't handle it (but Texas should be able to handle it with no federal help.). They need federal assistance. Don't just blindly listen to them, look at their actions, they don't align.

  47.  @TheChinaPlay  bro, people are genuinely stupid, and keep trying it again and again. Top down control is idiotically hard, yet for some reason, everyone thinks they can do it better than the collective minds of a society. But, rather than try it in new York or California, no, they want to force the whole country to do it. Try it in your state first and if we all like it, we'll adopt it. Bail reform. Go ahead new York, try it. See how it works. If you get it right one day, we'll do it...

  48. If the people at the top of GM, Ford, and srelksnrie are vastly overpaid, start a business of providing CEOS to big companies. If you can save a company 20 million in ceo compensation, they'll pay you 5 million. The CEO is just a manager, just like at your local McDonald's. The manager doesn't own the McDonald's. The CEO doesn't own the company. Not sure why people don't understand that still. Ceos are hired by boards of directors, who are voted on by shareholders. But shareholders can directly fire ceos, just bring it up to a vote. Pretty easy and regularly happens. shareholders and boards agree to pay CEOs. CEOs dont pay themselves. Put it this way, you have 50B invested in ONE company. You can't sell the investment, you HAVE to own it. So, to protect your 50B, you can hire a CEO for 10M, or a CEO for 20M. To protect 50B. 10M or 20M doesn't matter to you then, because they're managing your whole 50B investment. That's why CEOs get paid a lot. IT has NOTHING to do with how much average workers make. You keep trying to compare the two, but I, as a shareholder, don't care if a Lineworker quits tomorrow. Ok, whatever, hire someone new. If the CEO quits, I'm SCREWED. I could lose all of my money, they run the company. So you're thinking about this all wrong.

  49. ​ @stvdmc2011 The bigger issue is, they want more pay for being workers. They see the huge management pay, but ask a person to do management work? None of these people will start a business to get the "Huge pay" that other ceos get. It's so easy, but they don't want to do it. They want to be CEOs , but have the business just run, without any work on their part. They really believe in passive ownership. The only passive business ownership is stock ownership, and even that requires work. You still need to pay attention, and vote your shares on important company matters.
