  1. To note - Argentina's public sector isn't like your public sector - like Venezuela with the PDVSA oil company - it was often used to buy votes or political favours in exchange for a job. Many Gulf countries do the same for their citizens in putting them in extremely comfy, low work demands public sector jobs - but those Gulf countries can get away with it due to essentially their majority migrant workforces. *This does not imply all public sector jobs everywhere are 'comfy'* - In reality, in most nations, they are often underpaid, understaffed and overworked.

  6. The only reason you see strong student movements all the time is well........ the students just have more free time LOL. There are many working class people who often share the same political views as the students but just aren't as visible in the media because well....they are working.

  7. and it'll be the same next week in Australia LOL - with similarities - Unlikeable, uncharismatic right wing leader promoting Trumpism, and then trying to distance themselves when Trump went a bit too crazy but everyone sees through it. And like in Canada, the main leader is in danger of losing his marginal seat LOL - C'MON DO IT VOTERS OF DICKSON (Yes that's the name of the electorate the right wing leader is in and aptly named)

  10. This is copy + paste for New Zealand right now unfortunately with them electing their most right wing government in 25 years. In New Zealand's case, a lot of the stuff was literally on their website *don't know if to laugh or cry*

  11.  @markmuller7962  Yep, We call our right wing leader 'Temu Trump' LOL

  12.  @oldsenpai4337  and you think the Conservatives would have been better? LOL - Just because one is far from perfect, doesn't mean you should vote for the worse option.

  22. 0:08 - I mean, both can be right???
    23
  23.  @feelincrispy7053  you might not hold the same views, but it is an accurate GENERAL view
    22
  24. you forgot to mention the importance of "trimmed mean" and one-off occurrences and how one-off occurrences bump up the general inflation figure. e.g. Petrol prices also collapsed as cities locked down last year, and have since returned to pre-COVID levels. There were also big jumps in the prices of some fruit and some vegetables due to a shortage of pickers and heavy rainfall. They are also best seen as one-offs. The “trimmed mean” measure of so-called underlying inflation used to see through transient influences, was only 1.6% for example in Australia (vs the generally reported 3.8%). It’s a better guide to what is going on.
    21
  25. OMG, a new 'Fall of Civilizations' episode coming soon! I love Brits like you and them explaining stuff :D

  27. 3:25 - 3:40 - This is what cult of personality (on both sides), gerrymandering and destroying the public education system does.
    15
  28. Turkey is VERY much different and an anomaly due to the the central government having power to govern monetary policy, when in other countries they don't. There's a literal reason why they don't as it means people who don't know economics like Erdogan, can't wreck the economy.
    14
  29. 1 - It is not the whole dollar amount that counts in debt, it is it vs the size of the economy and how trustworthy you are that you will pay it back. Hoser's 'who has the most debt' video explains this well (with memes too) and he studied economics in university. 2 - Singapore does this perfectly fine and also a lot of people do this. It is similar to 'margin trading'. Once again, people are ignorant of how finance works and/or economics.
    14
  30.  @Talisguy  or both. Take out the word 'economic' for 'general carnage' and it is perfectly correct.

  31. the stock market graph is more accurately going down eh LOL

  33. Ironically, you're painting the wrong narrative. In reality, it is just standard geopolitics in pure pure self interest. And that includes the Pacific Islands. The Pacific Islands aren't 'weak' 'damsels in distress' that needs saving from anyone. In fact, in reality, they have greater power more than ever and deliberately play the bigger powers against one another for that pure pure self interest. I studied South Pacific geopolitics, with a focus on Chinese relations. - SUPER interesting stuff and the history of it. Basically the West fell asleep from the early 2000s to the mid 2010s, thinking it was 'their backyard' and are paying for it now.

  34. As much as it sucks for the Japanese (and South Korean and EU) economy and companies, time to wait a few months to a year for those new car prices to plummet due to now oversupply.

  35. Egyptian Army: "Can I join you?"

  36. 5:58 - 7:00 - 'without a great deal of diplomatic clout and so on' - As I stated before, The Pacific Islands aren't 'weak' 'damsels in distress' that needs saving from anyone and painting this picture ignores the history of Pacific Island nation geopolitics. In fact, in reality, they have greatest diplomatic clout now than they ever have had and have always deliberately played the bigger powers against one another for that pure pure self interest. I studied South Pacific geopolitics, with a focus on Chinese relations. Not to mention the Solomon Islands' historic unrests is FAR more complicated than just the people recognising one China over the other.

  37. If you work in a corporate job in any sort of leadership position or in a regulated industry, you have strict guidelines surrounding gifts, no matter how much it is, due to conflict of interest / decision influence, even is subconscious.

  38. see my comment, you know nothing in reality.

  39. as stated, you are projecting your own ignorance of basic economic principles.

  40. because the dynamics are very different regarding the role of the state in Argentina. And I am very anti neoliberalism.

  41.  @juliansmith4295  wouldn't need it. the polling is different from Canada and its a far more fairer voting system in Australia, the left wing is strongly favoured to win, it's just by how much and by how much the Greens and the independents influence that. Yes, due to Australia’s far fairer voting system, third parties and independents are much more influential and there's been a strong movement towards them as voters reject the two main parties in their preferential vote (Australia has preferential STV voting)

  44. not gonna lie, that username is amazing.

  45. Meanwhile next week, you'll get to see how a civilised voting system works in STV preferential voting in Australia - and you'll also get to see another rejection of our 'Temu Trump' and 'Go Trump, get Thumped' episode 2 LOL - and you might even see a repeat of the right wing leader losing his own marginal seat LOL (MY GOD PLEASE LET THIS HAPPEN)

  46. 2 in 2 weeks baby!

  47. Go Trump, get thumped LOL

  48. 3:50 - 'infrastructure is almost too good' - Yeah, the 'tofu dreg' construction projects would like a word about that. What this video fails to mention is Chinese provincial governments cannot issue government bonds to fund debt like Western state governments can. Specialist China current events channels like 'China Insights' go into far more depth into the issue than this rather surface level video.

  56. The US will defend the use of the US dollar in international trade and will use any means to keep it that way, including putting other geopolitics aside. A great example of this was the Dai Hong Dan incident in 2007, where the US Navy teamed up with North Korean sailors to fend off Somali pirates who tried to take over the ship and US Navy medics treated the injured North Korean sailors. This even got praise of North Korean national TV.

  64.  @lordpolish2727  it's a 1.7 percent margin bud. Josh Frydenburg, who was arguably the most likeable of all the senior Liberal MPs, had a bigger margin and still lost his seat last election.

  67. Also the West have broken many a 'international laws and order' over time in the South Pacific, don't kid yourself. And yes, that includes post-colonialism and recently. See the Australian government bugging of the East Timorese government in the early 2000s.

  71. @z0ltisgod LOL. Maybe actually look into what Jacinda was doing and finally addressing the things both party's neglected in the past but good job, Kiwis 'Brexit'ed' themselves. Again. (The first time was voting against the decriminalisation of cannabis). Kiwis like to think they are progressive, but voting patterns indicate differently.

  77. oh no. The comments section is too good in this video *laughs and cries*
    2
  78. 5:10 - this 'dollar diplomacy' recognition game between PR China and Taiwan has played out since the mid 90s in reality. Nothing new. Twas quite funny when Kiribati let PR China build a satellite station, switched their recognition to Taiwan because they got a better deal, and kicked the PR Chinese off the island that hosted the satellite station and thanked the PR Chinese for building it LOL. As said in another comment, I studied South Pacific geopolitics, with a focus on Chinese relations. this 'great power' contention in the South Pacific is nothing new. In the 70s and 80s, it was the West vs the USSR and Japan for political influence.

  84. ok, this geopolitical dark humour is pretty good *laughs and cries*

  85. Mighty strange how threatening trade somehow makes geopolitical rivals and hate magically go away eh e.g. China, Japan and South Korea meeting together and in the past, the US and North Korea fighting together in the Dai Hong Dan incident

  86. Michael West appears from nowhere! (For others, Michael is one of, if not, the leading independent journalist in Australia)

  87.  @segiraldovi  wrong. The public sector often has to compete against the private sector and in reality, the tiny amount extra on wages is nothing vs the lost productivity but people like you can't see past the initial numbers.
    2
  88.  @chillibean281  *Labor eh. The betting markets are heavily favouring them 🤣 - As the saying goes ‘You can lie with your mouth, but your wallet tells the truth’- the only question is how much the Greens and independents, who mostly lean left as well, get.
    2
  89. and you'll see it next week with Australia :D - And it's the same thing with people rejecting Trumpism politics. We DO NOT like Trump down under.

  95. Kinda pisses me off you didn't watch the video and know the US does in out of self interest, mainly for the things stated in the video. Pure self interest. The US will defend the use of the US dollar in international trade and will use any means to keep it that way, including putting other geopolitics aside. A great example of this was the Dai Hong Dan incident in 2007, where the US Navy teamed up with North Korean sailors to fend off Somali pirates who tried to take over the ship and US Navy medics treated the injured North Korean sailors.

  105. So communalistic that the left wing literally introduced our pension investment system, which is the envy of the world, and that everyone wants to copy and is predicted to be collectively the 2nd biggest one in the world despite being 51st in population. There will be a lot of cashed up 60+ year old Aussies in 30-35 years time, while you pray your pension payment from the state is enough.

  110. @ stares at the UK who has government debt contracts that are a few hundred years old and still hasn't imploded - Liz Truss tried very well to implode it as well and it didn't implode.

  111. You are aware many countries did it for self interest e.g., (West) Germany let in a lot of Turkish immigrants in the 60s and 70s to fill in labour shortage due to losing so many men during WWII and they did so again with Syrian refugees, but this time due to an aging population. And despite the far right rhetoric in public of Meloni in Italy, there is record employment of immigrants in Italy, both legal and illegal. Meloni faced the hard reality when in power that Italy needs workers due to having one of the oldest populations in Europe and the massive brain drain of educated Italians out of Italy. You are literally taking the dumb JD Vance stance and oversimplifying things. Denmark and Finland can plenty afford their social benefits despite strong military spending so stop it.

  112. 'Singapore' and 'election' LOL - Everyone knows about the PAP's gerrymandering and vote suppression so no cares about the Singapore 'election' as it isn't a real democracy.

  114. one lie doesn't counter another lie. See you. See me actually calling the TLDR bias out with facts in another comment (see the 5:58 - 7:00 - 'without a great deal of diplomatic clout and so on' one) unlike the laughable romanticism of China you have. It's f'n geopolitics. It is pure pure self interest from everyone.
    1
  115.  @stereomachine  It's lobbying power is weakening however due to the Internet. And they know it. People have the likes of Tiktok (Chinese controlled), Al Jazeera (Qatar) and European government funded news sources (e.g. France24, DW) they can see. There's isn't the choke hold that cable TV / TV media has any more. And the US has bigger fish to be concerned about in China and the US isn't as interested in the ME anymore due to the shale oil revolution and Canadian oil sands meaning they don't need ME oil anymore. Also the US cares about being the currency of world trade more than anything else. You make that trade harder, say by Houthis choking up vital sea lanes due to your invasion, you make the US more angry.
    1
  116.  @Oblivion___  Bibi thought he thought he could control the US via the Israel lobby. He is quickly finding out the long party is over. The US didn't need distractions when they had a proxy war with Russia and geopolitical tensions with China. And stoking tensions with Iran for no good reason. And thus making world trade harder (and thus use of the US dollar as the global currency). Bibi wanted to strike at Iran harder but Boss Biden told him to not do that. Bibi no doubt really pissed the US off when they said 'don't enter Rafah' but did so they are ramping up the political pressure on him.

You are aware most Australian workers, from your CEOs to your retail and fast food workers, would be indirectly shareholders in Google/Youtube because of this mass collectively defined contribution pension investment system right? 51st in population, collectively the 4th largest pension fund in the world. You are aware the biggest capitalists ARE 'socialist' pension investment funds right? LOL - Ya Another libertarian who failed economics history and who actually knows nothing about modern capitalism realities.

  155.  @Rockhampton633  Stop pretending to care when 1) most solar is rooftop solar 2) you obviously have never read an environmental impact report of any of these wind farms and how they must negate it 3) Most onshore wind is in brownfield land i.e. it was already cleared for farming 4) far more threat to endangered species is via illegal logging and clearance for farmland 5) wanna see those highly-toxic-to-every-living-thing coal flyash lakes by coal power stations and how much land they take up?

  165.  @jacksmith-mu3ee  You are aware of what troll farms are, who works them, who pays for them and where they are located right? If not, you are literally dumber than a bot, particularly when this video has nothing to do with China. But ok Igor or Ahmed. That said, it could be the very high quality Floridian education system at play here eh.

  166.  @jacksmith-mu3ee  Sure, but this video has nothing to do with China bud. The same Reuters source also speaks of the Myanmar troll farms and Russian troll farms LOL. Unlike you, I actually watch the video.

  168. All are a factor but so is the Trumpism factor, and like in Canada, but not to the same extent, Potato Temu Trump (Dutton) did have association and shades of Trumpism, and like in Canada, tried to distance himself from it when Mango Mussolini went a bit too crazy, even for old mate Potato Temu Trump. But the public see through that. The big question is not if the left will win, but by how much, and how much the Greens and the independents, who mainly lean left, get. Labor played the political game better and Potato had weaker second party support. Even the independents are making headway into regional seats for example. Most of the Teals are just Tree Tories in reality.

  175.  @Whoisthis1111  LOL - oh dear, yeah it's obvious you know nothing about the Aussie grid. Or China RAPIDLY moving to solar. Gas usage in the grid is plummeting off a cliff LOL (because it's WAAAAAAAAAY too expensive, even vs coal). - You know we have public real-time stats of the grid these days mate? Gas will only be used to plug intermittent gaps and this is only because we don't have enough batteries and/or pumped hydro and/or CSP.

  176. @ China’s solar DRAWFS it’s nuclear. It isn’t even close. Yes, gas will be used for peaking power, but that is only because of a lack of batteries, which inject into the grid faster AND cheaper for peaking power purposes, and geography as in Australia does not have enough pumped hydro to stores excess solar. The amount of gas really depends on night wind, particularly from South Australia feeding into the rest of the grid via interconnects to VIC (Hayward) and to NSW (new one starting this year). Renewables already are the majority source during the day. It is the Aussie rooftop solar miracle in reality.

  185.  @nekonesto5601  see my larger liked post - Argentina are an exception - too much public sector relative to the greater workforce can indeed be a bad thing, particularly when abused for political means like Argentina's was - thus why the middle (Ordoliberalism / social market economy) is preferred. And look up mixed public / private markets - this is why often SOEs are setup to compete in the private markets or mixed ownership - as a form of market regulation against the bad tendencies of one another. Basically, if you like your football, how the German 50+1 model gives the benefits of both types of ownership, only in the wider economy. Private ownership in public services isn't automatically a bad thing - but it must be heavily regulated. e.g. the Dutch healthcare model, the Australian pension investments system.
