  • The pay check

    Very interesting data, makes you think about the relative value of the money and how you can create or depreciate a market with or without a small economic stimulus. Also it shows the fragility that people are exposed to in life when somebody reaches poverty. A billionaire every 26 hours during Covid, that’s amazing, maybe I misunderstood (?).

  • Conflation of causes and effect.

    $300k given as repetitions per individual is not a solve. Counterproposal, socially hold yourself accountable, believe you can achieve. In addition the community and neighbors can provide accountability. I’m not going to push education, so communal pressure to express disappointment in a lack of skill development. 300k can be made up in a generation to a decade. Something similar to give a woman a fish, teach a woman to fish… you know where it’s going. This “problem” is solvable by individuals. more

    This show and the producers clearly have an agenda. The information in every episode is very misleading. It’s funny how the team uses common sense arguments that blanket a broad range of people and will then suggest that its only happening to a certain group of individuals or community. There’s a lot of good information here. That would be better served to educate people as too why they may not be seeing all of the information. Yet, you use that information too mislead anyone who doesn’t care to... more
