"No one is hungry or cold." Umm... Homelessness is at its highest rate since the great depression. I see homeless everywhere now in places where I didn't used to see them.
And the #1 cause of homelessness in America today is inability to pay exorbitant medical bills, usually because of an unexpected accident or disease, so healthcare costs figure prominently in conversations about poverty.
Homelessness is its own problem and more a result of getting the incentives wrong than an actual shortage of money. California has spent $25 billion or so on the homeless over the last 5 years… And mostly made it worse. Separately, many of the homeless do have mental health issues. Which again, is a different kind of problem.
@@Leto2ndAtreides In systems where people can easily get medication, a lot of “mental health issues” do not lead to homelessness. The issue is the US pipeline. 1. Insurance company screws worker and worker misses medication for 1 day (or more) 1B. Alrernatively, worker fails to get diagnosed or otherwise is untreated. 2. Worker loses job 3. Worker loses insurance because they have no job, cannot afford expensive medication. They no longer get medicine or treatment at all. 4. Worker loses home and is homeless. A lot of the “mental health” homelessness could be easily fixed by having healthcare. Not all of it, but enough that it would significantly reduce homelessness. Other solutions would help too, like paying enough so workers can afford rent.
@@Leto2ndAtreides Wow a whole $5 billion a year? In a state that is itself the 5th largest economy in the world? I bet you think a millionaire is actually rich.
More and more people might face a tough time in retirement. Low-paying jobs, inflation, and high rents make it hard to save. Now, middle-class Americans find it tough to own a home too, leaving them without a place to retire.
The increasing prices have impacted my plan to retire at 62, work part-time, and save for the future. I'm concerned about whether those who navigated the 2008 financial crisis had an easier time than I am currently experiencing. The combination of stock market volatility and a decrease in income is causing anxiety about whether I'll have sufficient funds for retirement.
This is precisely why I like having a portfolio coach guide my day-to-day market decisions: with their extensive knowledge of going long and short at the same time, using risk for its asymmetrical upside and laying it off as a hedge against the inevitable downward turns, their skillset makes it nearly impossible for them to underperform. I've been utilizing a portfolio coach for more than two years, and I've made over $800,000.
Over 80% of Americans make less than $100,000 per year; 37% of US households make $100,000 combined household income. 12% of US working people make less than $15,000 per year, or, below the poverty level--- which is set too low, considering the cost of living.
And those of us who are trying to get by on Social Security are bringing in at or less than $15,000 per year, but some of those “good guys” in Congress want to take it away from us completely. But it was my money (and my employer’s) that paid into it. I also feel that, since I’m supposed to sign my SS card, it became a contract with the government who laid out, and promised, my benefits in relation to the money I earned while working.
@@chieftain5571In expensive jurisdictions, a family of three SHOULD be eligible for food stamps at $48,000. A family of three bringing in $48,000 won’t be eating well or living well in the Hamptons, not to mention the cost of the child’s schooling there.
@@kgs2280 the baseline payout from SS for people who were unable to work for part of their lives, who had health issues or who were caregivers, or who couldn't get hired for one reason or another, is around $700/mo. I'm not sure exactly; but it's FAR below poverty. $700 × 12 = $8400; there are a lot more people trying to live on that than most people realize. The so-called Amazon nomads, post-retirement seasonal workers who do grueling warehouse work for Amazon during Christmas shipping season, and live in the desert in their vehicles the rest of the year, are just one exanple. They rely on Amazon, even though they're not really fit for the hours or the strenuous nature of the work, because even living in your car it's hard to get by on $700 a month. And it was even before greedflation.
I went through a college libertarian / Ayn Rand phase where I believed that billionaires deserved their wealth by making goods and services that made the world better. I grew out of that when I realized that Billionaire's like Jeff Yass don't actually make the world a better place, they make wealth by gambling on the rest of the economy
I mean, the market is a gamble place for people to bet that someone will pay a higher price for the product they bought... BTW money is debt with the interest you can never pay back since it wasn't created yet until someone make more loan so you can pay it back with the person's fresh loan, check that out and we must have a better way.
Rand predicted this. You didn't read enough to understand her philosophy. You also maybe didn't watch the Donohue interviews. She would call the super rich "looters." And actually, at the end of Atlas Shrugged, the people who produce moved to the mountains and used their skills to create an invisible community lmao! But anyways, using Rand to justify and support the unproductive rich who are financially r a p I n g us is absurd if you've read her work. Not that she's perfect and a god, but this she can't blamed for.
@@Natty183As someone who was also a Randian, you are a joke and so is her philosophy. I was pushed to read her works before I had taken an intro to philosophy. Good riddance.
"No ones hungry, no ones cold, everyone has basic health insurance"... Literally none of that is reflected by reality. Millions skip meals, millions are homeless and millions have medical debt that is bankrupting them. And this is ever growing in number. I was homeless for nearly five years because the government didn't do anything to help me. I went hungry everyday, lost so much weight i was unrecognizable. When i finally gained weight it was because i was eating dollar tree food...

As a public school teacher in a state with no union, I would like to make 117,000 a year. That's nearly double what I make now before taxes and 'benefits'.
Did you ever see the Key and Peele sketch about the Teacher’s draft? That’s how we should run society - instead of paying athletes millions for moving balls around, we should be making sure those who do the incredibly important job of educating the new generations live comfortably and have all the resources and supplies they need.
@@andrewberdahl9922POS. They're raising our kids for the future. Education is extremely important. You show the failure of the education system right now which is pathetic.
Worker harder is not a great judge of value. I work with plenty of people who I can trust to do their job competently, but they are just following instructions. The person who comes up with the opportunities for improvements and can see the landmines coming up has more value since they can make everyone else more efficient. Both sides are needed though. Unfortunately, the power dynamics are way too out of balance anymore. If the average working person can't housing anymore or health insurance or to raise a family, things are very broken. I'm not talking about the guy in this video though.
Every billionaire requires thousands of poor people (i.e., people who are perpetually economically insecure and are therefore compelled to toil at the worst imaginable jobs). That’s Crony Capitalism 101. And I can prove it all day, every day.
@@geneanthony3421 so hard to imagine. If you spend reasonably, and let someone reputable run your money for you, it would seem almost impossible to lose much of it. Bill Gates makes over 10 million dollars per day according to google. That is not only insane, but again makes it almost impossible to lose money unless you just go around buying space ships and other expensive goodies all day.

I'm a military spouse to a career service member. He is on year 16 outta 20. Our income is about 50k a year, gross not net. His retirement is funded by a portion of his income being differed, about 5k a year, knocks us down to 45k. Taxes range from 800$ to 1200$ annually, and our return is usually 600$ or less. We live paycheck to paycheck, and are forced to move every 3 years, cutting off friendships and support networks. We've had to break rental agreements because a debt spiral began where we were broke after every rent payment, and had to be ordered to live on base to break the lease and not get fined 3x our monthly rent. We've gone hungry. We've spent nights without heat. We've had to sit down and carefully decide what order and dates to pay bills on so we can still get groceries. Technically we have healthcare, but dental is not included for enlisted folks- you gotta pay an annual fee to activate the dental plan and there's substantial copay and limits that make it barely any help at all. If someone gives their whole ass life to the state, they should be living easier than the do nothing executive class.
Im sorry, but i have little sympathy for those who trust the government to take care of its soldiers after vietnam. Its like expecting a long lucrative career with job security from the Amazon warehouse.
Most billionaires are actually. And you would be too honestly…most humans, given that much power, tend to have a predetermined propensity that’s further exacerbated once they come into power. They start to see people as monopoly pieces to be moved places they deem necessary in order to serve their own money-making agendas. End scene.
Bro I think you’re disconnected from reality to actually go through the mental gymnastics to convince rich people are somehow bad but not out of jealousy
@@logangardiner7574 It's well studied and well-attested that having wealth reduces your empathy and diminishes your ability to accurately perceive reality. I want people to be prevented from becoming billionaires for their own good. It ruins people.
Why don’t you just mind your own business instead of telling other people how to live their lives or what to do lol. I’m glad the study you didn’t cite whatsoever says the thing you want it to say. Doesn’t change you’re obsessed with someone else’s status and whining about it instead of simply improving your own position in life
“Most billionaires are awful” what in the hell are you talking about? Can you say you know enough about enough billionaires to even have a good enough sample size to deduce that or are you just brainwashed and parroting what everyone else is saying to fit I ?
Some do, just like how any slice of the population have serial killers. Just because this guy is rich doesn’t make him evil lol you’re just jealous because you have no money

A perfect storm is brewing in the United States. Inflation, bank collapse, severe drought in the agricultural belt, recession, food shortages, diesel fuel and heating oil shortages, baby formula shortages, available automobile shortages and prices, the price of living place. It's all coming together and it could lead to a real disaster towards the end of this year (or sooner). With inflation currently at about 6%, my primary concern is how to maximise my savings/retirement fund of about $300k which has been sitting duck since forever with zero to no gains.
These are the conditions in which life-changing money is made by those who remain calm, patient, and take controlled risks. Volatility goes both ways. The bigger the red candles, the bigger the green ones.
Investing in stocks can be a wise decision, especially if you have a dependable trading system that can lead to successful outcomes. Personally, I've been working with a financial advisor for about a year now. Starting with less than $200K and I'm now just $19,000 away from making half a million in profit.
I think this is something I should do, but I've been stalling for a long time now. I don't really know which firm to work with; I feel they are all the same. Is there any chance you could recommend who you work with?
thats legit how rich people feel. thats why they say "communism will make EVERYONE POOR". what they mean by poor is "not having the ability to cause severe harm to large amounts of the human species with impunity" ... doesnt actually mean "someone who barely survives because no employer pays more than 1/10 the cost of being alive for any amount of any level of skill of work"
Sometimes I think I would watch a reality TV show where the super rich have to live and work as a 25K a year grunt for say 6 months and feed themselves, would be an entertaining watch.
If he doesn’t see the difference in lifestyle between being a billionaire and earning $100k a year, sounds like he won't mind most of his income being taxed.
If that were true then he could just donate all but 100k of his wealth. He makes more than 100k in a yearly salary, right? His quality of life won't change much. What's the harm in paying your fair share of taxes, if all that additional income doesn't really change much anyway?
If it's true that billionaires live the same as middle class folks then they should have no reason to argue against us taking their wealth back and distributing it. If we all live the same, then let's get rid of money already.
If you worked your whole life to make your fortune, regardless of who you are there is no incentive to just give all your money away to everyone, or however your little fantasy goes. Are you a high school kid or something because your comment was pretty moronic
At the end, he says "the only difference between rich and poor is that rich people have jobs they like, and poor people have jobs they don't like." That's a little true, but he leaves out the part that the rich people with the jobs they like are making the other jobs worse and worse for the poor. And maybe they even enjoy making it worse for poor people.

The stock market was designed to crowd fund new ideas and companies with the ability to create new services and products that benefit the community. Now it has been turned into a hub for gambling. The fact that you can buy and sell in the same day is crazy. There's no investment.

@chronometer9931 completely ignorant and moronic take, planned losses are built into his business strategy. His losses are then used to justify being taxed at a lower rate.

They are more likely correctly categorized, characterized as narcissists. Malignant narcissists have all the good qualities (ha) of psychopaths (sociopath is that just another name for psychopath.

I'd be happy if everyone could work hard and become like him in terms of wealth, like he believes. It just doesn't work that way. What everyone isn't happy with is the effects of that wealth generation. What he (Yass) makes and decides to do for himself is literally everyone else's loss because this is a zero-sum world: there isn't unlimited wealth to hoard to the point where it doesn't impact people negatively. It's a fundamental problem of capitalism, especially for the resurgance of free-market neoliberalism. That's why people here are angry, and rightfully so. They believe that we, as a society, can do better. The point that Yass isn't just desensitized to the issues of the working class but also seems to actively make the problems worse (but better for him) and then do a bunch of mental gymnastics, smear campaigns, and false claims to justify his actions shows that he may indeed be a sociopath manipulating people for his own gain.

These are very valuable rules for anybody who wants to get rich. Unfortunately, most people who will watch this video will not really be able to apply the principles. We may not want to admit, but as Warren Buffett once said, investing is like any other profession-- it requires a certain level of expertise.

I have about $89k now to put in the market.
Although stocks are now rather volatile if you consider that now, you should be okay if you perform the proper calculations. There have been stories of people making over $250,000 in a matter of weeks or months, according to Bloomberg and other finance media, so if you know where to look, I believe there are many wealth transfers during this recession.
The best course of action if you lack market knowledge is to ask a consultant or investing coach for guidance or assistance.

People say that billionares are smarter than most folks. They say that out loud. Yet ever time I've heard one speak, it's the stupidest shit anyone could come up with.
Who’s ever said that other than the strawman you made up in your head? CEOs are better than normal people in a lot of measurable metrics, and intelligence might have a correlation to success (lots of studies argue this)
They are the new monarchs. A lot of people have moaned about, Capitalism. But, forget or just don't know what came before. It's only been about a hundred years (WW1) since Royalty really ruled most of the planet. Even though we never had 'em here, they idea of 'special' types of people has always been here. (George Washington for example wanted but was denied a fancy shmancy Royal Military Commission, from the British). The idea of special classes of people is still here. Capitalism/Democracy is just barely keeping them from being real, royalty. Our most rotten politicians today aren't only about the benjamins. Many genuinely believe, the masses of people have their 'place.' And, rich and Ultra Rich people, have theirs.
If I were raking in 100k a year, I would probably take less anxiety meds. I'd not worry about ending up under a freeway bridge. IIRC, the median national wage is 42k a year, so 100k is far better than most get.
@@epikgamer4462 Eh, I don’t see intent in their comment, more along the lines of “eat the rich”, but figuratively. A lot of ultra-wealthy tend to think they are legally invincible, as society/corruption has allowed them to amass absurd amounts of power.
Too many ignorant people commenting. Making less than 100k makes you poor. I make 40k a year and I’m living paycheque to paycheque. If I made double my money I would then have just enough to save and maybe buy a house. Too many children commenting with zero life experience talking out their asses lol
@@logangardiner7574 Agreed. I think people are missing the point he was trying to make. He was comparing the day to day life of a billionaire as not all that different from someone “relatively” poor in comparison at $100,000 in income. I could be wrong but I think that’s what he meant and I feel he is somewhat correct in that.
He thinks $100,000 is low end? My income is less than 15K and every homeless person I know works a job that doesn't pay enough to rent the crappiest apartment in the city where they work. I have housing through the generosity of my family and my income barely covers my food.
Maybe it's time to tax all stock income the same, regardless if it's short term gain or long term? Who knows, maybe it'd become an incentive to make companies grow a bit slower but healthier in the long run. Instead of going and exploding like a firework -_-
I've never understood why some people just want to get richer & richer like that. You can't take it with you when you go. If I ever got rich I would get myself comfortable, make sure I stay comfortable & then just give the rest away to people who need it.
Severe lack of imagination. A trumpistan mindset where you brand your bs and buy gold toilets. All your relationships are transactional. You have everything you can possibly need but talent
0:37 I, Mr. Yass, am hungry as hell rn but food costs spare finances that most people don't readily have access to. Someone's hungry. Someone's cold. I'm fortunate enough to be warm; I can get food but not all are so fortunate. What an uncommonly unaware individual.
It always irks me when someone whose so rich that they'll literally never worry about bills getting paid or someone in their family going without. Irks me a lot. These people have absolutely no clue what the average American goes through weekly. 100k (snort), good thing they didn't go for the bulk of American's, 'cause 'most' of us don't come close to 100k. Ever.
He’s right, there is no difference between somebody making $100,000 and a billionaire. I also donate millions of dollars to political campaigns., At least in my mind.
I'M OLD but not an unenlightened boomer. Gen X. 🎉😊 So glad you guys are here - "More Perfect Union" indeed. Educating me and my adult kids about the BS we don’t hear about in mainstream media. Thank you. Shared, subscribed, and thumbs up 👍 excellent reporting.

Successful people don't become that way overnight. most people see at a glance-wealth, a great career, purpose-is the result of hard work and hustle over time. I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life🙏🙏🙏
You're right you've remind me of what someone once said "The mind is the man, the poor is in it and the rich is it too". This sentence is the secret of most successful investors. I once attended similar and ever since then been waxing strong financially, and i most tell you the truth..investment is the key that can secure your family future.
That's true, there is never any culture of wealth gathering or wealth creation to keep multiplying your finance that lacks an investment value Instead of saving money in the bank . This means, if you want to be successful you must be an investor
I agree with you had a senior colleague at work who was doing well but never had an investment. Unfortunately he lost his job and went from living a comfortable life to hardship. There would had been something to fall back on if he had an investment
That's why I always urge everyone to start somewhere now no matter how small, this is literally the time for that, forget material things, don't get tempted,i became more better the moment i realized this
yeah investment is the key to sustaining your financial longevity but venturing into any legitimate Investment without a proper guidance of an expert can lead to a great loss too
As the great Ralph Nader would say… Both parties dial for the same dollar.

"For a wealthy person, losses are incredibly valuable. Losses are something you can use to offset gains into much more lucrative gains that are taxed at a lower rate." So much for the "efficiency of the markets." LOL Hopefully, more reports such as these will break folks from Friedman's spell.

@@logangardiner7574 The only conclusion I can make from that is you agree with the investment fund manager who sits on his ass crunching numbers. If even that. *_You're a sycophantic troll._* YEET
I mean, that is kinda brilliant to exploit the difference in taxes between long and short term capital gains and losses. They should definitely close that loophole.
Nope. The only difference is that a sociopathic poor person only affects people within walking distance. If the same person was rich, there'll be far more people affected
They explain it poorly here but for those that are interested in how the tax trick works. If you make 100$ in short term capital gains you pay 40% so you get to keep 60$. But if you just buy 2 products with opposite properties (i.e. a put and a call on the same stock) at the end of the year you will always have an asset that lost X$ and the opposite that gained X$. Lets say X = 100, so you sell the loosing asset and now have -100$ and you sell the other one at a 100$ profit a day later. Now you have 100$ + (-100$) = 0$ in short term gains. This means you pay 0$ tax. Additionally you have 100$ in long term gains, so you pay 20% and you get to keep 80$. This essentially let's you keep an additional 20$ with no risk. It is technically illegal to do this but Yass has enough companies to spread this around and move funds between them to launder it. So one company loses money and the other gains money so no single entity owns both assets.
*Appreciate your videos! I’m 54 and younger generations should know there’s no shortcut to acquiring wealth, but there are ways to go about it. Fellow millionaires don’t tell the poor/middle class they need the knowledge of finance coaches to help build their wealth. If anyone here needs a good coach, here’s it..*
To think that 100k is what he considers 'poor'. He is so blind that he can't even *see* poverty existing.
Right? " No one's hungry, no one's cold" what an ass hat
Its one banana. how much could it cost, $10?
100k is barely scrapping by for a two parents, two young growing children family, pre-savings-for-college-fund, household living in a big city like San Francisco.

Umm... Homelessness is at its highest rate since the great depression. I see homeless everywhere now in places where I didn't used to see them.
And the #1 cause of homelessness in America today is inability to pay exorbitant medical bills, usually because of an unexpected accident or disease, so healthcare costs figure prominently in conversations about poverty.
Homelessness is its own problem and more a result of getting the incentives wrong than an actual shortage of money.
California has spent $25 billion or so on the homeless over the last 5 years… And mostly made it worse.
Separately, many of the homeless do have mental health issues. Which again, is a different kind of problem.
I guess we all can eat ramen
@@Leto2ndAtreides
In systems where people can easily get medication, a lot of “mental health issues” do not lead to homelessness. The issue is the US pipeline.
1. Insurance company screws worker and worker misses medication for 1 day (or more)
1B. Alrernatively, worker fails to get diagnosed or otherwise is untreated.
2. Worker loses job
3. Worker loses insurance because they have no job, cannot afford expensive medication. They no longer get medicine or treatment at all.
4. Worker loses home and is homeless.
A lot of the “mental health” homelessness could be easily fixed by having healthcare. Not all of it, but enough that it would significantly reduce homelessness.
Other solutions would help too, like paying enough so workers can afford rent.
@@Leto2ndAtreides Wow a whole $5 billion a year? In a state that is itself the 5th largest economy in the world?
I bet you think a millionaire is actually rich.
More and more people might face a tough time in retirement. Low-paying jobs, inflation, and high rents make it hard to save. Now, middle-class Americans find it tough to own a home too, leaving them without a place to retire.
The increasing prices have impacted my plan to retire at 62, work part-time, and save for the future. I'm concerned about whether those who navigated the 2008 financial crisis had an easier time than I am currently experiencing. The combination of stock market volatility and a decrease in income is causing anxiety about whether I'll have sufficient funds for retirement.
This is precisely why I like having a portfolio coach guide my day-to-day market decisions: with their extensive knowledge of going long and short at the same time, using risk for its asymmetrical upside and laying it off as a hedge against the inevitable downward turns, their skillset makes it nearly impossible for them to underperform. I've been utilizing a portfolio coach for more than two years, and I've made over $800,000.
How can i reach this adviser?
Amber Dawn Brummit is the licensed advisor I use. Just search the name. You’d find necessary details to work with to set up an appointment.
Many dont have health ins. Many do, but like me, cant really afford to use it. 10k in annual premiums for 10k dedictable 😅
Over 80% of Americans make less than $100,000 per year; 37% of US households make $100,000 combined household income.
12% of US working people make less than $15,000 per year, or, below the poverty level--- which is set too low, considering the cost of living.
In some more expensive jurisdictions, a family of three is eligible for food stamps at $48,000.
And those of us who are trying to get by on Social Security are bringing in at or less than $15,000 per year, but some of those “good guys” in Congress want to take it away from us completely. But it was my money (and my employer’s) that paid into it. I also feel that, since I’m supposed to sign my SS card, it became a contract with the government who laid out, and promised, my benefits in relation to the money I earned while working.
@@chieftain5571In expensive jurisdictions, a family of three SHOULD be eligible for food stamps at $48,000. A family of three bringing in $48,000 won’t be eating well or living well in the Hamptons, not to mention the cost of the child’s schooling there.
@@kgs2280 the baseline payout from SS for people who were unable to work for part of their lives, who had health issues or who were caregivers, or who couldn't get hired for one reason or another, is around $700/mo. I'm not sure exactly; but it's FAR below poverty. $700 × 12 = $8400; there are a lot more people trying to live on that than most people realize. The so-called Amazon nomads, post-retirement seasonal workers who do grueling warehouse work for Amazon during Christmas shipping season, and live in the desert in their vehicles the rest of the year, are just one exanple. They rely on Amazon, even though they're not really fit for the hours or the strenuous nature of the work, because even living in your car it's hard to get by on $700 a month. And it was even before greedflation.
Social security is a charity. You don't deserve a penny of Social Security. Quit complaining about not recieving enough free stuff.
I went through a college libertarian / Ayn Rand phase where I believed that billionaires deserved their wealth by making goods and services that made the world better. I grew out of that when I realized that Billionaire's like Jeff Yass don't actually make the world a better place, they make wealth by gambling on the rest of the economy
welcome back to the resistance
I mean, the market is a gamble place for people to bet that someone will pay a higher price for the product they bought... BTW money is debt with the interest you can never pay back since it wasn't created yet until someone make more loan so you can pay it back with the person's fresh loan, check that out and we must have a better way.
...and usually by screwing people over.
Rand predicted this. You didn't read enough to understand her philosophy. You also maybe didn't watch the Donohue interviews. She would call the super rich "looters." And actually, at the end of Atlas Shrugged, the people who produce moved to the mountains and used their skills to create an invisible community lmao!

"No ones hungry, no ones cold, everyone has basic health insurance"... Literally none of that is reflected by reality. Millions skip meals, millions are homeless and millions have medical debt that is bankrupting them. And this is ever growing in number.
I was homeless for nearly five years because the government didn't do anything to help me. I went hungry everyday, lost so much weight i was unrecognizable. When i finally gained weight it was because i was eating dollar tree food...

The only path to being a billionaire is on the backs of other people that worked harder than you.
Worker harder is not a great judge of value. I work with plenty of people who I can trust to do their job competently, but they are just following instructions. The person who comes up with the opportunities for improvements and can see the landmines coming up has more value since they can make everyone else more efficient. Both sides are needed though. Unfortunately, the power dynamics are way too out of balance anymore. If the average working person can't housing anymore or health insurance or to raise a family, things are very broken.

A perfect storm is brewing in the United States.

It's all coming together and it could lead to a real disaster towards the end of this year (or sooner). With inflation currently at about 6%, my primary concern is how to maximise my savings/retirement fund of about $300k which has been sitting duck since forever with zero to no gains.

Don't encourage this POS. If he were to donate more he'd just pour it into funding more fascists
If it's true that billionaires live the same as middle class folks then they should have no reason to argue against us taking their wealth back and distributing it. If we all live the same, then let's get rid of money already.

At the end, he says "the only difference between rich and poor is that rich people have jobs they like, and poor people have jobs they don't like."

No formal conspiracy is necessary where a coincidence of interests exists. That interest being ‘line to go up at our expense’

When people hear Sociopath or Psychopath...they usually imagine a killer or murderer but in reality that percentage is extremely small, the reality is that the vast....VAST majority of sociopaths or psychopaths are in the business world as CEOs and Managers, as police officers, as politicians. They have no empathy, no shame, no guilt. They believe they are the best at everything and the smartest in the world.
They are more likely correctly categorized, characterized as narcissists. Malignant narcissists have all the good qualities (ha) of psychopaths (sociopath is that just another name for psychopath. The distinctions about whether one feels something and the other doesn't is just BS). So they all kind of end up at the same place unless one has a little spec of normalcy right next to their lizard brain to prevent them from going all-in. But the gas lighting is a big giveaway.

@@logangardiner7574 The point is that the system (capitalism) is built against the majority (the non-rich) in every single way, even being engraved into the political system in U.S. politics. I'd be happy if everyone could work hard and become like him in terms of wealth, like he believes. It just doesn't work that way. What everyone isn't happy with is the effects of that wealth generation. What he (Yass) makes and decides to do for himself is literally everyone else's loss because this is a zero-sum world: there isn't unlimited wealth to hoard to the point where it doesn't impact people negatively. It's a fundamental problem of capitalism, especially for the resurgance of free-market neoliberalism. That's why people here are angry, and rightfully so. They believe that we, as a society, can do better.
The point that Yass isn't just desensitized to the issues of the working class but also seems to actively make the problems worse (but better for him) and then do a bunch of mental gymnastics, smear campaigns, and false claims to justify his actions shows that he may indeed be a sociopath manipulating people for his own gain.
@logangardiner7574 So, there's your proof. Will you offer 1 scrap of evidence in your rebuttal or just try to nit pick what I've presented? Keeping in mind, what I've presented here is just a small sample as I'd prefer not to type an entire bibliography into a TH-cam comment.
Marriage and Capitalism are inventions of the sociopathic human kind.
They are both systems that degrade human beings.

These are very valuable rules for anybody who wants to get rich. Unfortunately, most people who will watch this video will not really be able to apply the principles. We may not want to admit, but as Warren Buffett once said, investing is like any other profession-- it requires a certain level of expertise. No surprise that some people are losing a lot of money in the bear market, while others are making hundreds of thousands in profit. I just don't know how they do it. I have about $89k now to put in the market.
Although stocks are now rather volatile if you consider that now, you should be okay if you perform the proper calculations. There have been stories of people making over $250,000 in a matter of weeks or months, according to Bloomberg and other finance media, so if you know where to look, I believe there are many wealth transfers during this recession.
The best course of action if you lack market knowledge is to ask a consultant or investing coach for guidance or assistance. Speaking with a consultant helped me stay afloat in the market and grow my portfolio to about 65% since January, even though I know it sounds obvious or generic. I believe that’s the most effective way to enter the business at the moment.

Honestly billionaires should be required by law to live for a year without their assets.
They are the new monarchs. A lot of people have moaned about, Capitalism. But, forget or just don't know what came before. It's only been about a hundred years (WW1) since Royalty really ruled most of the planet. Even though we never had 'em here, they idea of 'special' types of people has always been here. (George Washington for example wanted but was denied a fancy shmancy Royal Military Commission, from the British). The idea of special classes of people is still here. Capitalism/Democracy is just barely keeping them from being real, royalty. Our most rotten politicians today aren't only about the benjamins. Many genuinely believe, the masses of people have their 'place.' And, rich and Ultra Rich people, have theirs.
Being a billionaire should be illegal. Anything over $10M/year is taxed at 100%.
accumulation in general of more than $ 2 million get taxed 100%
and then no excessive accumulation of physical resources as well
Hold up...did that guy just say that someone making 100k a year is poor?

If I were raking in 100k a year, I would probably take less anxiety meds.
I'd not worry about ending up under a freeway bridge.
IIRC, the median national wage is 42k a year, so 100k is far better than most get.
People making 100k pay more of their earnings to taxes than the guy making 40k. So while more helps, it’s not as big of a difference as it may seem

He thinks $100,000 is low end? My income is less than 15K and every homeless person I know works a job that doesn't pay enough to rent the crappiest apartment in the city where they work. I have housing through the generosity of my family and my income barely covers my food.
Yeah lets just ignore that the poor person worked their butt off for 8 hours straight before they sat down to watch netflix

We're both watching Netflix.. but im psycopathic and DGAF about other's
They explain it poorly here but for those that are interested in how the tax trick works.
If you make 100$ in short term capital gains you pay 40% so you get to keep 60$.
But if you just buy 2 products with opposite properties (i.e. a put and a call on the same stock) at the end of the year you will always have an asset that lost X$ and the opposite that gained X$.
Lets say X = 100, so you sell the loosing asset and now have -100$ and you sell the other one at a 100$ profit a day later.
Now you have 100$ + (-100$) = 0$ in short term gains. This means you pay 0$ tax. Additionally you have 100$ in long term gains, so you pay 20% and you get to keep 80$.
This essentially let's you keep an additional 20$ with no risk.
It is technically illegal to do this but Yass has enough companies to spread this around and move funds between them to launder it. So one company loses money and the other gains money so no single entity owns both assets.
Lose. Not loose. If you're going to spell phonetically at least do it right --- looze.
*Appreciate your videos! I’m 54 and younger generations should know there’s no shortcut to acquiring wealth, but there are ways to go about it. Fellow millionaires don’t tell the poor/middle class they need the knowledge of finance coaches to help build their wealth. If anyone here needs a good coach, here’s it..*
