I really don't know what the rich is smoking to ask us for donations. Especially the working poor.
It would have come across better if she put it out there saying, won't you join me in this OPPORTUNITY to BE A PART of the Maui revival. Even if you don't have anything to send, for $1 or $5 your name will go on a commemorative book in front of a monument creation that will have the names of the fallen, TBA. The whole point of this then becomes i, Oprah, an putting together this fund to directly help families and if you want to be a part of this project, I'm including everyone so nobody feels left out and those who can't afford anything significant can sacrifice $5 as she is contributing 10 million. I think that's where she was short sided and out of touch with the reality of how the people are feeling hearing someone who can rebuild maui alone, certainly with the help of others who enjoy land in maui. I think the bigger issue i have is with Facebook, I want every single person to get out of Facebook, Instagram, just bury Zuckerberg. I think he is a huge POS. I think Oprah is unfairly absorbing this outcry. Like I said, she should have made everyone feel like, come be a part of this with me and maybe for a high enough donation you can help vote how the funds will be distributed. To make it inclusive as possible.
You are right, every single American is poor. Well, except the rock and Oprah
Well put !
You are awake enough to be asking, I see . So are we....! 🤨👍🏻
Obviously the rock smokes rocks...
Working poor?😊
Oprah can donate 500 million and still be a billionaire. But obviously wont
Yeah, who would?
They should make her
She is not obligated stop hating people with money.
@marier1127
Of course I'm hating. If a person can help others, and chooses not to why would I love them? They're whats called in the dictionary selfish.
@@marier1127 OP would rather Oprah not even raise money.
it's happening over and over. Rich people are disconnected from society, ask them how much a case of eggs cost, or grocery, they don't know.
don't forget politicians who are the worst.
@@cleancutguy1892 curropt politicians are rich.
If you're Oprah or The Rock, there's no problem with cost of living.
No it isnt
Please people, STOP worshipping and caring about celebrities. They really don't contribute to anything to our world, and they are pretty much indifferent to the masses.
The 70's and 80's must have been an amazing time in the USA.
yes no internet or OF.
90's were great to grow up in
It was! Glad I got to live at a time before computers, the net and smartphones!
How dare billionaires ask anyone for anything ever period.
Absolute hypocrites all of them, the rich entitled few!!
Two of the richest people in the world asking the people living paycheck to paycheck to donation. That's the problem with our economy.
it's called capitalism, your country embraces it so get used to it.
Which country do you live in then,? Is it so great? I doubt very much
Necessities like food, shelter, utilities, etc., aside, consumerism in the US has become an epidemic. People are constantly encouraged to buy things they can't afford. And although interest rates are rising, interest on savings has remained pitiful and infuriating.
American dream nowadays is to get out of America.
That’s why I moved away 20 years ago to Brazil. It’s still like the prices from the 90s
no it's not, you'll be begging to come back to America within a few months, where is it more desirable to live? China? nigeria? South Africa? get serious.
@@BillyGringo no it's not they still have slavery in Brazil, the average Brazilian would kill to come to America.
@@javiervega1065do you really want me to name all 190 other countries?
@@wiladvice that are more desirable to live in than USA?
If they went to every celeb friend of theirs and asked for 10 mil from each the fund would fill up in a day versus getting 50 dollars from every regular person who is just trying to put food on the table rather than buy a 3rd or 4th home
When they take money from you thru "donations," they control who gets the money, bet you its not Maui
20 dollars an hour is barely surviving now. It wasn't like that 10 or even 5 years ago.
Minimum wage should be $27 if it had kept up with inflation… those were the stats 6 years ago. I can only imagine what it should be today. My guess is $32.
Get a job only making 10 to 20 dollars and hour and move to Brazil and you’ll live like a king.
@@nawakaida7499 The more the minimum wage goes up the higher bases prices and rent get which screws over everyone. This is what has happened in Washington and California.
The median individual incomes reported by the BLS and/or FED is already adjusted for the cost of living (inflation). It’s over 40% higher than it was 40-50 years ago.
What’s happening is biggest ticket item people purchase (homes) has gone up but a big part of it is much bigger homes. People don’t notice as much they are paying a lot less (relative to income) on the majority of our goods and services because they tend to be smaller purchases each time.
In addition, people just want more and more. A home from 1970 has a lot less in it then a home in 2023. Usually just one tv, one car often, fewer electronics and appliances, and far less clothes. People also didn’t spend much money traveling (didn’t long distances much) either so that saved them money.
But the income inequality is certainly a problem.
@@BillyGringo but more likely dead since crime rates are so high. Send me a postcard if you make it past day one.
The basic price of commodities has tripled in my experience from 2019. The same 1 bedroom apartment I rented in Dallas for 700 dollars in 2017 is 1400 dollars in 2023. The house that would cost 180k in suburban DFW just 5 years ago costs 400k. The cost of home and car insurance is over the roof. All this in Dallas which is still very cheap compared to many other big cities in the USA.
yep. the dfw area is getting so expensive and i’m seeing jobs say “wage meets cost of living” while they’re paying $15/hr. like, please get real. apartments over here have gone from 1k to 3k in a lot of cases. sad to see how many people are going homeless and struggling, as well.
New York los Angeles San Francisco even chicago are crazy
Sad to see so many homeless people down on Mockingbird too smh
Maine is cheaper but Nc is to
Yup…. I used to pay $1600 a month in north central Dallas for a 3 bedroom apartment in 2017. Now I pay $2700 a month for a two bedroom apartment. It’s insane
Very sad to see what's happening in developed world. In India, though imported goods price increased by a lot thanks to currency performing badly, most things are within our budget.
*India is a growing economy. What happened with China from about 2005 until pre-Covid is happening with India now. There are going to be a few hundred million people in India who will join the middle-class in the next decade or so. These middle-class people in India will have boost the economy and the overall GDP very substantially. India will become the 3rd biggest economy by 2030.*
You eat vomit with rice daily in India so no wonder why
In India, according to UN reports, there are at least 8-10 million people living in slavery; you still have a caste system that stigmatizes the "untouchables" here in the 21st century when truly civilized cultures have abolished both castes and slavery. On top of that, even with your population in excess of 1 billion people, a large proportion of whom are starving because your nation lacks the proper resources to feed, clothe and shelter all of them decently, your government is encouraging people to pump out even more children, who will then be sent to the US or UK or some other "privileged" country to take what wealth we may have as well.

I don't know where you get your facts from, but being a parent of four children, I spend way more than 10% of my income on food
Yes, facts are not true .As Indian I do not spend 44% my income on food.I even save more than 44% of my income after living lavishly(Having maid, Driver,vacation,eating out).He is living in a delusional world.
It’s AVERAGE household. The poorer one is and or the more kids a household has, the higher the percentage of income goes to food. Middle class and above that are single or couple with no kids will spend a small percentage of their income on food. I think typical is $250-$300 per month per person (not including restaurants). For a single person no kids, $300/mo is $3.6k a year and 10% would be $36k annual income
I can't tell you how heartfelt and sincere I am when I say I'm glad to have had a positive acquaintance with all of you 💗💐
nobody told your breeding a$$ to have 4 kids
@@Homer-OJ-Simpson the average household isn't single but 2.51 person household so no matter what it's not 10%
Inflation at 3.3%😅 more like 15% to 20%
Anger should be directed to the government.
People are struggling. They are angry. It is a silent depression.
and corporations
Corporations making their products using cheaper ingredients that are unhealthy while producing smaller products that cost the same if not more which gets them mega profits that cause the consumer to have to consume the same amount and buy more when they run out sooner and pay more...is a problem.
$28 hr I wish jobs paid that
Property taxes are way too high and they keep increasing every damn year to market value. That needs to be changed.
U thinking backwards dude. There will be more investors buying up all the properties if taxes are being cut
@@quanlamtruong5870just forbid investors to buy homes not living in the house
@@quanlamtruong5870 Yeah totally agree taxes are based on percentage of value....
Institutional & foreign investors should not be allowed to buy up huge numbers of single family homes... thus driving up the price of homes for middle-class working Americans, so they end up having to just rent homes from the investors!
Taxes rent gas foods are way too expensive today. The minimum wage is too low to afford a living anymore
Corruption is to blame.
I don't know a single person making $28+ an hour honestly nowhere near it. The people that are working didn't have time to take that survey haha on top of all of the increasing costs.
$28 an hour with 3 jobs
Yeah I thought that income seemed high... but som4e of these TH-camrs might!!!
Poor people in America have iPhones, cars, ac and poor people in other countries don’t have enough food to eat
This is a good point to say that the term "poor" and "hard times" is all relative. It's complicated to dive into in just comments though.
Poverty in relation to GDP has to be distinctly different between a rich and a poor country. Are we supposed to wait for them to be as poor as those other countries? Also, go to Mississippi where third world diseases are floating around like nothing.
Yeah maybe we should just be like those other countries and just do nothing too
It's all credit,, people are in debts
the American Dream because you have to be asleep to believe it
I have always disapproved of rich people asking us to donate money! Why would we do that when we are struggling and owing other people or companies money! That makes no kind of sense! And it has never made sense to me. I am happy that they got that backlash. It is about time people spoke up to this irony and gall from rich people! Why does anyone need 2 billion dollars anyway? And I think your stats are wrong about the average US wage of $28.96/hr. I sure don't make that an hour.
You are right
I barely make $17 an hour 😢
28.96 hour is what min wage would be if kept up with inflation lol 70 an hour is what needed to afford comfortable living in most cities.
@@misterbanshee7992 Agreed! 👍
Are you jealous??
$10,000,000...Yeah, I get that there's a major difference between liquid wealth and net worth but they have more than enough liquid wealth to donate $100 million dollars each. They want the burden on people living paycheck to paycheck.
10 million is a huge donation. People should care less about what others donate and either help or with all due respect shut up. They have bills to pay too. Who are you to say how much they can offer? Maybe we should look into your finances and see how much we as an outsider think you should donate...
@@xanderx2523 If they only have 0.5% of their net wealth to donate, they should probably both seek new financial advisors...
So they should give $10 million to every single charity out there? Then they have no money. What a terrible argument
@@Homer-OJ-Simpson the lower and middle class, as a function of percentage of wealth, are the largest donors to charity. StatsCan, US Stats, etc, it's all pretty consistent across the world.
They need to use all that money that celebrities donate and give it to the working ones in America. Giving it to charity organizations, you never see what it's really being used for.
As an Indian i am not even sure what an american dream is? i am doing well and make around 4000$ per month in India. i have big apartment, have a maid which does cleaning, cooking, dusting and all the house hold chores for me. i drive to work. My annual phone bill is 24$. There is no crime where i live in. And i still save around 2000$ every month and this is when i am blamed by my friends that i spend too much and live luxuriously.
Why would you compare percentage of income on necessities with the 1960’s? Life was different then, with many families bringing in only one income, a different economy, different lifestyles. Surely, the 2010’s would be a better comparison as it wasn’t that long ago.
The median individual incomes reported by the BLS and/or FED is already adjusted for the cost of living (inflation). It’s over 40% higher than it was 40-50 years ago.
What’s happening is biggest ticket item people purchase (homes) has gone up but a big part of it is much bigger homes. People don’t notice as much they are paying a lot less (relative to income) on the majority of our goods and services because they tend to be smaller purchases each time.

People also didn’t spend much money traveling (didn’t long distances much) either so that saved them money.
But the income inequality is certainly a problem.
And I agree, comparing to 00’s or 2010’s would be better as that’s more similar home sizes, similar goods and services bought, similar household sizes
@Homer-OJ-Simpson
40%?
I remember my father still talking about 25cts for a lb of chicken in the early nineties.
I still remember chicken on sale ten years ago for 99 cts a lb. Right now it's 2.99 at walmart. That's 300%. Don't quote BLS numbers, they don't match reality.
@@sblijheid "Don't quote BLS numbers, they don't match reality." They are FAR more reliable than your cherry picked anecdotes. A lot goes into calculating the basket of goods. I buy chicken on sale for under $2/lb...even $.99/lb for drum sticks. But there are so many goods we buy so it's good that they measure a basket of good rather than a few items.
Top-notch video. Learned a lot and many Thanks. Uptin...!!!
$28 is BS I know a man that’s been at the same company for 20 years and don’t make $28 an hour
Yeah but income tends to depend... I only say this because I knew someone who worked a job and I think he was approaching that make and he said the money was "stupid" which seems very good IMO
We're all doomed 😭
The US doesn't have a high tax burden. That's a lie. The highest taxes in US states are half that of my country the Netherlands. It's a low minimum wage problem and no social relief for the poor. Minimum wage is 2129.15 USD/Month in my country. In the US it's $1,218 per month.
The GDP per capita is 58878.00 USD in the Netherlands and 80,034.58 USD in the US. Much higher in the US, but mostly owned by the ultra rich.
Wrong, Property taxes are way too high and they keep increasing every damn year to market value. He meant total taxes. You paid your OASDI plus income taxes federal and state, then you pay your property taxes on your house, and then sales tax for everything you buy and then capital gains tax for any stocks you sell and short term is subject to short term capital gains tax. All of this is MUCH higher than your Netherlands taxes when combined, especially considering how little US gets in return for those taxes.
The netherlands has a lot loss people so that isn’t necessarily true. Also most people live in cities and those are hella expensive. In nyc we have a borough tax, state tax, income tax, property tax, and prob more im forgetting. Its getting way too fucking wild and the us has to cut the shit and help it’s citizens. You can be a global power if your citizens are unhappy
@@TheDumplingGecko We've got all those taxes and road tax, high gas tax, 21% consumer tax, sewer and waste tax.
Above 73000 euro's you pay 49.50% income tax. That's almost 50% what you make before other taxes. Above 37.150 euro's you pay 36.93%. income tax.
We've no universal healthcare or education in the Netherlands by the way. Prices are regulated though.
@@TheDumplingGecko Believe me. Amsterdam isn't cheap either. Not New York expensive, but very expensive. Amsterdam will put the housing crisis in New York to shame. The housing shortage in Amsterdam is the worst in Europe. Amsterdam even made commercials for expats and foreign students not to come to Amsterdam.
The Netherlands is the 20th most dense populated countries in the world. Number 19 is India if you look for a comparison.
At least you have good public transit to make up for it. America’s primary or default option is car ownership. If can’t afford it or you don’t live in place where alternatives are somewhat viable, then an auto loan is necessary, especially to commute to work.
If i was making 28.96 an hour I wouldn’t even complain but over here they just raised the hourly wage to 15, make it make sense
In 1993 I was paid $36 per hour as a Tech Writer. I still couldn’t afford a home in the Bay Area back then. Moved to AZ years later and around 1995 was paid $17 per hour for same job. AZ had much lower cost of living. Fast forward to 2018: rent for 1 bdrm in Scottsdale about $2k per month. I left AZ, bought a home in WI. Now property tax and home and car insurance is exhorbitant, as are groceries, gas, etc. Mainly caused by US Government printing and spending too much money making the dollar worth less.

One Reason: printing $$$
The main problem is the FED prints money out of thin air causing inflation.
Inflation only became a problem under post COVID world and Russias invasion of Ukraine. But it’s back to near normal in the US while it’s very high in most other developed countries
I can't tell you how heartfelt and sincere I am when I say I'm glad to have had a positive acquaintance with all of you 💗💐
The Dollar isn't backed by gold reserves, therefore every Dollar is essentially printed out of thin air. That's not the main cause of inflation, though. If you get a home loan, the bank isn't lending you other people's money. They just create it, take their cut (interest and fees) and when the principle is paid off, that money simply disappears again.
@@ConradNeill you described fiat currency but removed lots of key details.
To be fair a millionaire Like Ashton Kutcher is not the same as two billionaires begging for money. Optics are way different.
Note on why Automobile prices are so high . Everyone is now an off-road enthusiast because of
CAFE standards, EPA requirements. The Chicken Tax. The law of unintended consequences!! Government refuses to repeal laws that obviously backfired. SUV’s are exempt from CAFE standards and are so profitable for manufacturers. EPA requirements make it impossible to manufacture a high mileage pickup truck, compact car or sedan. The chicken tax is 25 % on imported trucks, even 25 year old used trucks. Repeal the stupid laws now
Oprah and Dwayne Johnson never gave 10 million dollars of their own money, the Pledged to give 10 million dollars of people's money through Donations. The keyword being Pledge and Donations, that's why everyone is pissed. Pledging to give money is very different than actually donating and they haven't donated anything to begin with.
Dwayne would have more credibility if he just admitted he takes steroids.
Love your videos
Thanks for the support!
Housing was cheaper for young Boomers because they shared accommodation. Look at how many people were living in one apartment in the hit TV series Friends. Millenials and Gen Z want an entire apartment to themselves.
Huh that wasn’t boomers, that was millennials and that apartment was huge, what you’re saying makes no sense

Wtf is he talking about 28 hr dude minimum wage in California 15.50 idk what kind of job is he talking about
I think he said average, not minimum. But I didn’t check it, don’t know the time stamp.
3D printed housing is one of the solutions to the high costs of contructing a house. According to a recent article in the World Economic Forum, 3D printed houses can cost up to 45% less than those built with traditional methods, by eliminating the need for expensive materials and labor. We also need to reform our zoning laws. Minneapolis, Arlington, Gainesville, Charlotte, Walla Walla, Washington, and other cities have reformed single-family zoning laws in recent years. Oregon, California, Washington, Montana and Maine have ended them statewide.
The point is people with houses don’t want more supply,, they want to hold on the rariry
Dude im a control technician and i dont even make 28 dollars an hour
As a ligal migrant I still think the USA is the best country you can live in...the problem is that people can't or dont want to manage their income, they spend more than they can afford, and always put the blame on something else..

"Nothing Ever Goes Away Until It Teaches Us What We Need To Know"
- Pema Chodron
Since Biden took office, there seem to have been more unfavorable results in America. These results include effects on the markets, such as price declines and sharp increases in inflation, as well as bank failures. I wonder if the sudden increase in interest rates will help value investors or if it would be wiser to stay away from the stock and financial markets for the time being.
To "buy the dip" It will be profitable in the long run. However, investors should be wary of the bull run. It is advisable to connect with a skilled adviser to fulfill your growth objectives and prevent mistakes. High interest rates typically result in lower stock prices.
I truly enjoy having a portfolio coach to help me make market judgments on a daily basis. They possess a special combination of abilities that enable them to take both long and short positions, benefiting from the possibility of significant gains while also safeguarding against downward turns. I have had a portfolio coach for more than two years and throughout that time I've actually earned over $645k. It was a wonderful experience!
*@sofiakhalida8106* Who is the professional who is advising you, if you could perhaps tell us? As a novice investing in stocks without the correct direction of a professional, I have lost a lot of money.

Everyone knows that wars cost money, and what's going on right now in Europe
Even worse now
People spend way more than 10% a month on food bro get your facts straight
how much the average family spend on families is a mystery as every family is different.
but baesd on the video creators own figures american families are spending 20+% of their take home pay on just groceries if it's one single breadwinner. assuming the family is a family of 4.
Bidenomic hahah
Thank you for making this video. Thank you. This is just all very upsetting. At this point, I want to move out of the United States
I can't even begin to imagine what the world is going to look like in the next 10 to 20 years. Going to be a whole sci-fi movie out here.
housing markets grow too fast for people to keep up now. there's tons of available cheap housing in omaha, but that's not where jobs are relocating to. they all move to austin or miami in the span of five years where in other eras it would've taken ten years for markets to develop. so while big business can be dynamic like that and move bases on a whim, the local markets are a lot slower to adapt.
I Like the video, but where in the Hell did you come up with the bullshit figure that Chinese spend so much on food? In Shenzhen, the cost for food is around 1.2% of a typical family budget, while here in Zhongshan, it is around 0.8%. You see, food, clothing, shelter and transportation are considered CRITICAL to life, and the government intentionally keeps costs low.
What’s the average? Mean or median? Because both will tell very different stories
It can't be going on endlessly
It is ENERGY being shut down, that adds to EVERYTHING.
The wage and income is very top heavy so that it skews the average income upward. If you use the median wage you’ll get much lower numbers and even more dire picture.

Taxes vary by state. Some place like California, Massachusets, and New York are cut throat for the highest brackets, which they pass on to their costumers, who happen to be in the lower brackets.
@@sblijheid "Some place like California, Massachusets, and New York are cut throat for the highest brackets, which they pass on to their costumers, who happen to be in the lower brackets."
Except individual incomes taxes would have little impact on that. That would be corporate taxes. And it's still not a dollar of tax raise is a dollar more lower income will pay -- that dollar that needs to be recouped will be spread among the whole population.
Yeah but TH-cam as a system tends to like averages more than median.... not sure why both are published!!!
Lol, people got upset at Oprah for donating 10 mil to help. The same people sat on their fat butt complaining about it and doing nothing to help, not even a dollar rofl.

Home and auto insurances are rising too across the country even if you aren’t making any claims.
2:29 Thats no war? Ask uncle Joe...
You ask what is contributing to the cost of living being so high? That's easy. "Corprate greed"
Union worker make it worse too. Since government buy them material at a higher price from union it increase the wage on union worker but everything gets expensive. John stossel video of a 2 million dollar restroom at a park. Due to city hiring union workers who wanted higher wage some got up to 100$ per hours. Took 7 years and 2 millions to complete due to union and bureaucracy. Yet a private company took 200k using the same material a few month to complete. Problems with unionized. They can't fired the employee especially if they suck seeing how teacher union aren't able to fire inept teacher they get pay regardless if little work is done. They do a crap ashat job. The majority believe TSA suck as they study past event and notice the amount of contraband and illegal weapon got smuggle in. When a private security firm did a test run at a actual airport and simulation test they had a higher rate of success compare to TSA a unionized government sector that you can't fire inept workers.
Foreign investors buying up more and more of the housing market as investments is terrifying. Think about that.

Different times now.
The rich are living in cloud nine and are so off in touch of what it's like to be in need of the most simple things in life that are necessary for honest folks need to survive.
I agree with this..
20 an hour gross would be about 4k 40hours a week after taxes 2,400 a month now factor all your all bills and cost of living you do the math
If you make under 100k you shouldn't have to pay taxes. Watch these companies magically able to pay you a livable wage
envy people will always be that way
