Thought this was a good talk. Seems like it'd be good to clip this and spread it to normies. Poor, working class guy who became an investor/gambler at Citibank just after the 2008 financial crisis and talks about how mainstream economists and papers like The Guardian can be wrong economically over and over and they don't even know or remember that their predictions are wrong! Overall interesting conversation though.

Has good commentary on the housing crisis, COVID, Ukraine, etc. all being massive funnels for wealth upward and the rich are all buying actual physical assets with the money they're being given while the poor and working have been fucked by it. Wish normies would get it, that given small taxes to the workers and then big tax cuts to the rich makes the workers poorer than they were before because money isn't resources, it's access to resources and the rich keep winning with inflation while we keep getting poorer.
