America has two simultaneous problems - record homelessness, and record high rents. Plus groceries are still as expensive as ever and it seems like things just get harder and harder for average Americans…. why is that?

​@Skull211 yes, we want to believe that. As it's an old saying, but many old sayings are outdated and no longer bear any significance in today's society. It is completely possible, that the top 1% has made it to where it's inescapable for us. Something has to happen to them for them to halt this plan, but I don't know what that would be. Until then..I've grown more and more convinced, we're fucked. My tank of optimism has ran dry.

I think the retirement crisis will get even worse. A lot of people can’t save because of low paying jobs, inflation, and insane rental rates. And now that home ownership is out of reach for middle class Americans, they won’t have a house to retire with either.

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.

Claude Frédéric Bastiat : Everyone wants to live at the expense of the state. However, they forget that the state wants to live at the expense of everyone.

Claude Frédéric Bastiat : "No greater change and no greater evil can be brought to society than to transform the law into an instrument of robbery." Claude Frédéric Bastiat : "If the law and morality are in opposition to each other, the citizen is faced with a cruel choice - either he loses his sense of morality, or he loses respect for the law; a choice between equally great tragedies, between which it is difficult to choose.'

that sounds like a meaningful and populist thing. But in reality it is just cynical and singularly unhelpful as you CAN organize and run in democracies. But having an attitude like that makes trusting other people and working with them to organize and make a difference difficult. This distrust is actually a tool that wealthy and powerful use to keep the populace in check. Because only numbers can breakthrough the wealthy and powerful have on institutions. Also, for those looking authoritarian saviours, they don't exist to benefit you, authoritarians only benefit themselves

I've known a lot of people who have been homeless for various times for different reasons, usually health issues. My former neighbor had two jobs. Was paying his rent. Seemed like a nice man. Then got a kidney transplant. His body rejected the new kidney and the medications. He lost his job, then the apartment. He was found dead in his pickup parked at a local park. Stories like that are common. Our country has NO safety net for the disabled who have no family or to take then in.

I'm 23 years old, suffering from Ulcerative Colitis, trying to get a start on my life. I live with my parents, dad is 60 mom is 57. Both are suffering a lot because their bodies are just slowly breaking down as they age. Mom lost her job a while back, lost our household health insurance along with it. Since then, mom fractured a bone in her spine, my colitis got so bad I can't work some days, and my dad has been unable to take care of our projects around the house, all while we're being slowly eaten alive by debts we've had for years and medical bills that do not end. Our only hope is reaching out to our church, which I don't understand why we haven't done yet. We're clearly drowning, and there is no chance of things magically getting better for us, unless God himself sends a miracle. Pray for us. We pray for anyone else out there going through ordeals like ours or worse.

Succinct and to the point! The other aspect is few people understand the trickle-down affluence enjoyed by 90% of the West has been a deviation from historic norms. "Arrangements" to make the US$ the currency of international trade have broken. Consumer prices for Americans alone have been absurdly low as int'l vendors preferred US$ as payment, offering discounts to get them. With the $ dumped, the trendline will revert to below the norm for a long period.

They want to pit us against eachother with shit like the culture war to distract us from the fact that we’re all being fucked over by the rich and powerful. It’s not a matter of electing “better” people, how good they sound won’t matter if as soon as they take a seat of power, corporate interests will be jammed in their pockets, fondling their balls and wallets, and jerking them around like the puppet figureheads they are. Make no mistake, we hold no control so long as the system stays as it is, and nobody in power holds interest in changing that system, as they directly benefit from the loopholes that need closing to ensure a government that is actually out for the people. The greed is becoming noticed though, and dissatisfaction with the state of things has never been more widely echoed. This bubble that has been inflating for decades will pop eventually, and when it does, it’s anyone’s guess what’ll happen.

@@philip7833 thats most of everyones reason, i said goodbye to my family slowly, since they were just a burden to me, so it was easy for me. But nonetheless, even if you are moving away, doesnt mean there is no chance with meeting up with them again, life goes on, its up to you how you want to live and you always have a choice and i believe that if you decide to move somewhere else with a good reason, your family should support you with this and have some understandings. I grew up in the netherlands, in 2013 i left that country because it was horrible to live in, since then i have traveled to many countries in europe, and eastern europe was way cheaper to live in and as someone who speaks dutch and german we get a very good salary to live in those countries, usually we get at least double to triple the standard salaries of the locals. Now im in austria and i do seasonal jobs, i dont have to worry about accomodation or even food as they provide it for me and i get a very good salary to even save up, so there are always possibilities, you just need to get out and find out what they are, staying in the same corner, just because you cant let go of your family is for me kind of stupid reason, especially when you are getting depressed and making no.progress at all, life is about making progressing, learning and see new things as much as you can so you can die happily

And even then seeing a poor person end up in a rich society, they still exclude you from their side of things....So uh, yeah, if the rich wishes to bail out, so be it. Time to go back to going rural and living in a rural place that doesn't charge you so much.

It's not just renters, it's homeowners, too. In 2009, I bought new, my 1866 sq ft 3 bed/2bath/2car garage in Dallas area Texas for $132K. Now it's been appraised at $390K, so naturally, my taxes and insurance are over 3 times what they used to be and of course utilities go up, too. I'm retired on social security plus a small pension, and I'm being forced out of my own home. I may have to sell out and downsize. Fortunately, I'm a handyman with tools, so I can fix up an older, cheaper place

I have fought SSI 12 years now or I should say on my 12th year now by myself cause my last lawyer gave me the you don't take meds bs even though I applied on meds many times so that is a bs excuse and I once had it too as a child but they took it away from because my guardians at the time failed to provide a change of address for me when they booted me out like every other. I can barely go out anymore because people are so nasty to my kind and I feel like killing myself half the time but am too proud to give them that satisfaction. Jobs don't want me, SSI doesn't want me how the hell are we suppose to cope at all even on meds when the whole system is unfair and disorganized and full of greedy eastwards. Sometimes I think this is why people shoot up places. And you can't decide to live on the land away from these government assholes because they took that away and made it illegal so you will go to jail for this even though there are worse people who belong there.

She was also able to draw unemployment with the company that laid her off, which was based out of IL and we live in NC (she's in the Raleigh area). And as of this month she is STILL looking for a project manager job when the unemployment ran out in February she had to take on various server/bartender jobs. I feel bad for her and other youn professionals looking for work. Back in the 70's & 80's you could loose 1 job and pick up another job within 2 - 3 weeks.

The "end result" of over 40 years of trickle down economics creating the largest transfer of wealth in American history. Low wage service jobs have replaced living wage industrial jobs. Add in inflation, and many Americans are being priced out of the economy. People are struggling to afford housing, food, and transportation. The ranks of the poor and homeless are swelling, while the middle class shrinks and dies off. Upward mobility is all but impossible for a significant amount of Americans. What happens in a consumer driven economy when people can no longer afford to consume? We will find out sooner than later.

Every utility service is threatening to shut me off, which will def happen… because, I can’t pay them in full. Can’t put them on CC’s because, I don’t have one. Had to close my bank account because… well, after I cash it… every cent goes to what I can afford that week. I’m down to one meal a day, eating more is completely unaffordable. Went a year without washing anything because my washing machine broke, and I couldn’t afford to go to the laundromat. Took me over a few years to save $500 for a washing machine because every time I saved enough… another emergency came along and I had to use the money I saved. People have said.. cut your expenses.

It is happening on purpose. Certain folks in government, in addition to the corporations they serve, know that if they can push out the middle class, then they can assume greater power. Removing the middle class makes the government less accountable to people and more accountable to corporations. The additional problem is that these "corporations" are often foreign owned.

Even though we were fully staffed at the time and not hiring. The managing partner was ruthless and felt like he should always be interviewing incase someone better comes along than the people that had been working for him, or if someone needed to be suddenly fired or quits he'd have an immediate replacement. As a result he felt there was less of a need to make the workplace a fun relaxed culture as well. As long as he had people to instantly fill in any sudden vacancy who cares if someone is unhappy?

@@EconomicWarfare Its like you didn't watch the video. There was a burst of hiring after Covid but you can't just move to escape this. As you move to areas you drive up prices which triggers the same upward spiral of rent that drives people in the new place out of their homes. Moving won't change it it will just impact the place you moved to. Many of the jobs that are needed can't be done remotely. So you get a cycle: Losing your rental and having to move or become homeless causes you to lose your job. The job can't pay more because a slowing economy means everything from retail to health care is making less money so wages freeze. Now jobs can't hire people at the frozen wage because they can't afford to live near the job thanks to rent. Now the company can't hire and you have lots of jobs advertised but no one can afford to take the low pay. Additionally moving requires money and when you are already skirting the edge of being homeless where will that come from?

This is important that I make this comment and I hope as many people read it as possible because it's remarkable. In 1987 I had an economics professor actually tell me that if the United States doesn't change the way it handles all of its economic policies, that by 2025 there will no longer be a middle class. And now I see this video. Now I know why he taught at Loyola University, and I think Tulane also. Brilliant teacher.

An economist told me the idea of taxing the rich to solve government financial problems was not valid. He said middle class taxpayers provide the major part of federal revenue. In addition, a healthy economy depends on middle class spending. Reduced middle class spending has an adverse affect on the economy. Retirees with adequate retirement funds will move to another affordable country. Smart countries welcome these new residents. They contribute to the countries economy and demand very little support from the government.

you’re absolutely right the economy has gone to shit and it’s not just america!! my country new zealand is experiencing a huge rise in pricing and rent too, to the point where parents are telling their soon to be 18 year old’s “listen, please don’t worry about moving out right now, just stay living at home until rent goes down so you don’t go in debt just for wanting a slice of bread”

Not everywhere. Russia is blooming after the sanctions and economy is boosting. People actually own the accomodation, it's safe everywhere, no homeless people, no drugs, food has a real taste. So many Americans and europeans moved here. I've never seen this amount before and none of them wants to go back. And on the oposite all my friends who moved to the US before are coming back.

Very sad truth. This video is depressing to see. As a fellow New Yorker, I've been seeing all of these effects in various ways. My rent on my one bedroom in Queens just increased this month to $1690 a month (that's a discount for this area, btw). I'm trying to buy a car, but the used car market is insanely high as far as pricing. Insurance is high, gas prices are up, and like you said, congestion pricing is coming in June. I've been looking at homes in Connecticut, which will certainly add to my commute, but even they have seen steady increases in price. And don't get me started on groceries. I'm unmarried, live alone, and have no children, so I can imagine how difficult it is for other people here. It's disgusting.

@@ice319 Good reply. I'm tired of keyboard warriors making snarky insults like that. Note: I grew up in Queens and it was an affordable, working-class place to live. What's happening in New York is already spreading across most of the states, and this problem was not caused by the voting habits of people in NYC.

Another great video. As a landlord, the largest increase in expenses last year was property taxes. I have to pay more to the government, so I have to increase rent just to cover the cost (aka I don't make more money). If you want to know why rents are so high, look at the property taxes (aka the government). Landlords don't ultimately pay property taxes - renters do.
