  • @Treblaine
    @Treblaine 9 ปีที่แล้ว +12

    For people who care it's actually the other way around. The point is someone did effectively just "type a bigger number in" that's what the housing bubble is. The houses aren't worth as much as so many people thought they were.
    And the system of lending money to keep businesses running has lead to REAL loss in productivity. Factories are shut down as well as if they had been blown but by the Luftwaffe only they are shut down as they can't get a lone to pay for the raw materials they need.

    • @GEM4sta
      @GEM4sta 9 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      You're very mislead. The houses weren't necessarily worth less than they were selling them for. And the housing bubble is really the very tip of an iceburg.

    • @Treblaine
      @Treblaine 8 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      ***** "Houses are worth as much as they're sold for. Always."
      Well DUH, in a self-fulfilling definition loop of defining a term like worth right back as "the price it sells for".
      But the whole point of a bubble is that worth can be completely out of touch with reality.
      The problem with using wealth so broadly is it becomes impossibly to really talk about if houses are arbitrarily far too costly to afford than they really could be.
      It's fine to have these games of SUCH arbitrary value for luxuries like art, or for financial instruments like currency. But we are talking about people's fucking homes here. People are either ending up homeless or forced to fritter away their wealth on renting their home.
      I think it is YOU who is playing dumb to economics, as if a very well funded and connected buy-to-rent company is the same sort of buyer as a cautious first time buyer who banks are reluctant to give any substantial mortgage to. They are NOT going to have the same spending power OR possibly buy as hastilly.
      It gets rather tedious when homes are built that they know local skilled workers can afford only to find EVERY SINGLE LOT bought up to be rented out! And the rents are as high or worse than any mortgage payments. It's completely out of touch the idea that people going at their own pace will buy up these houses before.
      The result is people pay as much or more but for a home they don't own, will NEVER own and are just paying their landlord's mortgage plus extra on top.
      My parents did this, they got VERY rich off it and honestly they say they felt it was the worst thing they've ever done. They had just economically screwed dozens of other people.

    • @theamici
      @theamici 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Houses are worth as much as somebody can pay for! The problem was that people couldn't really pay for them, and so the prices were inflated beyond what the market could manage.

    Hear, hear. Had to look this few times cause that's just so bang on. If anyone below tries to says it ain't so, that the numbers are something... Well, bring me the goods.. There is already more money in the market that there are goods on earth. By multiples.. We got enough money to buy three moons but not enough for feeding the poor. Tell me again, are those numbers real or not cause for sure, they are not appearing on reality. 99,9% of them just gets transferred to another account. Money has value only if it is used. If one can delete a bunch of code without anyone hurting, that's not a real currency.

  • @MMODoubter
    @MMODoubter 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    That is true. Money doesn't just disappear. Though, to a business man, if it isn't HIS, it might as well disappear.
    The real problem with the system, is that to make one man RICH, many people are made poor.
    It isn't a game played only by willing participants - EVERYONE has to play, and there are far more losers than winners.

    People were allowed to "buy" houses in America that they couldn't afford, because the people who loaned them the money knew that they wouldn't be on the hook if they had to default. Unfortunately, banks around the world and huge insurance companies decided they WOULD be on the hook.
    So there are lots of people in houses that they committed to pay for at a much higher price than they can actually pay. That's the only semi-real part.

    You should only care what people FEEL, not what actual sounds they make to express those feelings. It's perfectly easy for two people to use the same word to mean very different things.
    However, once you've realized it's what people feel that matters, you have to realize you can't start telling people what they are or aren't allowed to feel.

Senior management taking their eyes off the ball because they never dreamed their highly paid staff could be that greedy. Government abolishing all the regulatory laws and bodies because the Banks asked them to, so that they could make more money. But they didn't.....
