@ neutrality is unnatural for us tribal humans. But we can choose to have the discipline of neutrality and follow pre-existing rules wherever they may lead. Do you not think NFL referees have favorite players that they’d want to succeed? Yet a good and disciplined referee will call pass interference against a player they like if the rule calls for it. In this case, I’m congratulating Mr. Balmer for just presenting the numbers, with occasional, and well defined expressions of personal preference.
I thought I had seen this video a couple of weeks ago. Thanks for enabling comments Steve. Great content. Questions on my mind currently are access to internet and ease of voting, distance to travel etc.
Actually could be a really cool video on its own. Wealth distribution, people's break down(savings, stocks, income), company break down, banking and savings, federal government. Probably some gray areas esp people that hide their wealth.
Ahh reposted now with comments! Good move, drives engagement. Much needed for high-quality, non-biased content like this. Let’s like, comment and share.
You can’t talk about yearly earnings by educational development, high school vs 4-year degree, unless you consider the yearly payment for college debt.
There also appears to be a presumption by Ballmer that those not college educated are poorer, when in fact some highly skilled and even tech skilled are numbered among them. Further analysis is necessary to avoid unwarranted conclusions from not only that data gap, but from other excluded material.
Hey Steve what a pleasure to meet you again! I just subscribed to your channel ans surely will consume lot of your videos! Hopefully I'll be able to dome something similar for Italy as well. Thanks for always inspiring me throughout my career!
Great job. You should have had the FRED (St Louis Fed) household income numbers from 2023 for this video, I believe. Their calculations on real (inflation adjusted) income shows it's level with the prepandemic peaks.
A large issue with young people unable to move out is due to the rising cost of homes as a percentage of net income. These young people are having to compete with corporations and older home buyers who are purchasing a large amount of homes as rental properties. The trend will probably continue unless some measures are put into place to help balance out the competition for homes. Resources like VA Home loans help level the playing field for younger individuals, so a program similar to that and accessible to the general public could theoretically soften the debt drain on 35 and under. If younger people are financially secure, more of them will have kids.
What chart isn’t on here is wealth distribution chart. Imagine this guy pointing out that 50% of the population only holds onto ~2.5% of all wealth in the country😂
Excellent example of why inflation data is silly. We supposedly make more money than in 1980, but we've got people sleeping under every bridge. Wonder what that data looks like if you exclude the top quintile? You'll also notice the top 3 fastest growing employment sectors are a sure route to poverty. Thanks, Reaganomics!!
This is very informative. Absolutely love it. But would love comparisons between other countries (Edit) How many people are using e-bikes as primary transportation? I see it everywhere now - cheap to charge, good range, quiet and low cost. Maybe it's just my neighborhood, but maybe not
Sure, this is a real service to the country. Unfortunately, in today's society no one cares about facts because you can have your facts, and they can have their alternative facts. In addition, everyone can create their own facts.
4 Million Federal Employees, a number more than the biggest private sector job, Nurses and caretakers. Wow that’s how poor people pay for pensions of people who government already provided a livelihood.
Feels odd to use change in number of representatives in Congress to represent change in population since the amount of people each representative represents has increased a lot over time.
Could you do what a living wage might look like. Money isn't everything, but being consistently underpaid and overcharged for the basics is going to destroy our economy. Having a basic standard of a living wage might help employers and merchants more clearly understand how much we need to make to afford their goods and service. Thank you
A square mile = 640 acres. An acre = 1 chain X 10 chains or 66 X 660 = 43,560 sq. ft. (a bit less than the actual playing area of a football field.) 1,000 acres is close to 1-1/2 sq. miles. (You threw me a curve when you equated a square mile to 484 football fields.)
2020 was the highest election turnout at 66.8% - we know it will def be lower in 2024 I’m glad that overall more people are going to college and getting a bachelors degree
What I have learned: 1. categoires aren't consistent 2. years aren't consistent 3. groups not broken down by age, gender, ethnicity, socioeconomic status 4. information presented is waste of time
Thank you for giving us just the facts. But with so many facts in this world, the bias lies in which facts you choose to give and which you withhold. Personally, I wish you had elaborated on the fact that 1.3 million people are in prison - showing how this number has changed over time and how it breaks down by race.
I'd be willing to guess the single parent household statistics are off. For example, I am a single parent with equal custody, but I am not the custodial guardian. Do they count me as a single father in a single parent household? Probably not...
You said birth rates have really declined but didn’t describe actual birth rates just population growth. Also, you depicted births exceeding deaths even ignoring migration so it’s a little misleading to use the word „decline“ even though we are still growing.
Love your video EXCEPT for the incessant noise background. Real music or none, it's not at all necessary anyway, especially that repetitive generated crap passing as music. Not sure I can watch the entire video for the stupid background noise.......................
“Know Thyself” is indeed a phrase attributed to the Greeks, but it was expressed in Kemet (ancient Egypt) millennia earlier under the concept of Heru Behdeti. A symbol representing this idea can be found at the entrance of the Temple of Edfu in Egypt and is also reflected at the top of the Washington Monument. Coincidence, perhaps?
Not really, it's more a curriculum that teaches to the TEST. The standardized tests that are given periodically throughout the school year and the,scores on these tests determine not only how good the students are doing but impacts the school. Bad scores equal less $$, so teach only what the test has on it and maybe some other things becomes the strategy adopted by almost all schoolboards where,standardized tests are used, stifling creativity and curiosity in learning. Students must find that on their own.

This is a real service to our country, Mr. Balmer. I use them in my classroom and send them on to friends and colleagues. Keep up the good work!
I really enjoy this visual presentation style, keep it up!
Perhaps not with the ‘ jangle Muzak’ background?
Congrats to the graphics people on this. So clean, so clear. Just *Bravo!*
As a Canadian, I thank you for you and your teams work on this. We need more channels and people like this. The whole world should.
Maybe an episode about regulations.
I appreciate the neutrality. Thanks Steve.
Billionaires don't do anything that is netural...

This is absolutely necessary
You mean (un)necessary, correct.
I thought I had seen this video a couple of weeks ago.
Thanks for enabling comments Steve. Great content.
Questions on my mind currently are access to internet and ease of voting, distance to travel etc.
Wonderful update to the original version with added data!
Great videos keep it going
These videos are great but the background music is very disturbing and makes it difficult to follow what Steve is saying.
Interesting one stat he seemed to forget is the wealth distribution in the United States
Actually could be a really cool video on its own. Wealth distribution, people's break down(savings, stocks, income), company break down, banking and savings, federal government. Probably some gray areas esp people that hide their wealth.
there is another video on that topic
These are just wonderful presentations.
Good stuff, keep em coming, what the US needs is straight data and facts

These videos are awesome. Keep doing it Mr Balmer
One of my favorite channels
I like the presentation but it lacks context as why the topic is important and why we are taking the time to talk about it.
Keep it up. Can you put source references in the description?
Hey Steve what a pleasure to meet you again! I just subscribed to your channel ans surely will consume lot of your videos! Hopefully I'll be able to dome something similar for Italy as well. Thanks for always inspiring me throughout my career!
Number of people in jail >1yr … same as in active military 😂
This is a wonderful video!! 👏 Thanks Steve. So important.
This is awesome. It’s a lot of stats! Might be a more digestible if it was segmented into smaller videos by sub categories
For many statistics, in addition to the number, including the percentage of the population would help to put the number in perspective.
love the grapics, maybe less music in the background
I love this, thank you! Is there a video on Bureau of Labor Statistics data?
Great job. You should have had the FRED (St Louis Fed) household income numbers from 2023 for this video, I believe. Their calculations on real (inflation adjusted) income shows it's level with the prepandemic peaks.
Thank you for doing this work and presenting it in a straightforward format.

Thanks Steve- we sorely need this information more today than ever! Please keep up the good work!
Try going to any government website...
Did you use Microsoft Office Power point? Nice presentation and contents 👍
Mr. Ballmer, would you consider adding the year, to the month, when you record a video?
These videos are great, much appreciated.
Nothing is Worth more than The Truth.
What chart isn’t on here is wealth distribution chart. Imagine this guy pointing out that 50% of the population only holds onto ~2.5% of all wealth in the country😂
love the graphics. they should teach this stuff in school
Excellent example of why inflation data is silly. We supposedly make more money than in 1980, but we've got people sleeping under every bridge. Wonder what that data looks like if you exclude the top quintile?

Steve, I really enjoy your channel. Great Stuff!
Good work Steve.
Please do some facts on education in the USA
Sure, this is a real service to the country. Unfortunately, in today's society no one cares about facts because you can have your facts, and they can have their alternative facts. In addition, everyone can create their own facts.
I wonder what median income looks like if you don’t consider the top 1%. In these days of high income inequality that 1% possibly skews the numbers.
Median Income would go dow 0.5%.More likely you might be thinking how would the average change?
Nice one Steve, I trust you.
Thank you!!!!! Pls keep up the good work!!!
4 Million Federal Employees, a number more than the biggest private sector job, Nurses and caretakers. Wow that’s how poor people pay for pensions of people who government already provided a livelihood.
Feels odd to use change in number of representatives in Congress to represent change in population since the amount of people each representative represents has increased a lot over time.
The bike use symbol at the 17 minute mark is facing the wrong way, since less than 1% ride bikes, and should be represented by the '
GREAT SHOW
Would trade schools be considered college in this case? 12:10
Could you do what a living wage might look like. Money isn't everything, but being consistently underpaid and overcharged for the basics is going to destroy our economy.

POPULATION!!! POPULATION!!! POPULATION!!! POPULATION!!! I LOVE THIS COUNTRY aaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!
2020 was the highest election turnout at 66.8% - we know it will def be lower in 2024
I’m glad that overall more people are going to college and getting a bachelors degree
Excellent.
Would you do a video on education?
is this a reupload?
Great material. Keep it up.!
What I have learned:
1. categoires aren't consistent
2. years aren't consistent
3. groups not broken down by age, gender, ethnicity, socioeconomic status
4. information presented is waste of time
Wow. You should give some of your money to youth organizations.
Thank you for giving us just the facts. But with so many facts in this world, the bias lies in which facts you choose to give and which you withhold. Personally, I wish you had elaborated on the fact that 1.3 million people are in prison - showing how this number has changed over time and how it breaks down by race.
isnt this just a reupload?
Needs, as several have suggested, wealth distribution data.
HUD reports of all the households in the US with children MOST
are headed by a female parent alone. No dad around to shoulder
his responsibilities.
!
The music is SO distracting!!!
😭 didn't notice it till I saw your comment. Now I can't stop hearing it😂
Tax the rich help families and education
Steve I wish you could have saved the Sonics
Why are they posting it again?
The largest occupation is government workers according to your statistics.
I'd be willing to guess the single parent household statistics are off. For example, I am a single parent with equal custody, but I am not the custodial guardian. Do they count me as a single father in a single parent household? Probably not...

Not sure I can watch the entire video for the stupid background noise.......................
want to listen/watch but can't because of
annoying unneeded background music.
whoever is making these videos,
is making them wrong.
This video is so ADHD I love it
How did our population grow by only 1.6M when several million aliens immigrated this year. You lost me here?
This was very interesting. Would love to hear predictions of what will happen after the baby boomers are gone.

I’d vote Steve for President
Wow, incomes are racist Or skewed by intelligence quote, one or the other
Because "No child left behind Act" made school bad.
