We Are Entering “The Lost Decade” - The Economic Collapse of the 2020’s

- Over the last few months, businesses have been put under extreme amounts of stress to say the very least.
The lockdowns have forced some businesses to completely shut down… and others to remain open, but with significantly less revenue.
This has caused many companies to take some financial actions that they would normally never take.
And that is why we are seeing the creation of a new economic crisis. A crisis that will affect millions of people around the world…and yet most people don’t even know what it is…
(This is the Zombie Economy).
What country do you think had the wealthiest citizens in the year 1990? Was it a great Western Power Like the United States or the UK. Maybe it was a Nordic country like Norway or Sweden. Could it have possibly been the economic powers of the Germans or the French?
Well none of those are the right answer. The wealthiest people in the world out of all industrial nations in 1990 was actually the Japanese.
You see World War 2 decimated large parts of Japan, and took out and estimated 40% of its infrastructure. However, this devastation allowed Japan to rebuild their entire economy from scratch. They rapidly built modern factories throughout Japan, which gave them a massive advantage over other nations who’s factories were old and comparatively outdated.
The country also began to through an era that was called “the gifts from heaven”.
This is was an era in Japan where within the span of 3 years…all of the following things happened.
Japan became a democracy, Workers got labour rights, women got the right to vote, farmers were allowed to own their land, general society liberalized, and expansion of private businesses were allowed.
All of these reforms combined with other factors like extremely high productivity, led to Japan becoming an economic superpower where during parts of the 1980s, they had the second largest economy in the world behind the United States, and had they had the highest GNP per Capita out of all major industrial nations in the world.
But then…a major economic crisis would tear the economy of the country apart.
You see, in the 1980s, Japan made some financial reforms that seemed good at the time, but would end up creating their first modern financial crisis in the countries history.
In 1985, the Plaza Accord doubled the exchange rate value of the US dollar versus the Yen. They had strict tariffs that encouraged people to save money vs spend money. And lastly there was excessive loan growth quotas created by the Bank of Japan.
All of these factors led to a speculative asset bubble in Japans economy. In fact from 1985 to 1989, The Nikkei 225 which is the major Japanese stock market index…saw a 218% gain over that 4 year period. That was arguably the biggest bubble for a major economy in the history of the world.
And of-course…in 1989, that bubble began to burst and the stock market crashed. And it crashed so hard that to this day, the closing price of the Japanese stock Market has never surpassed the peak that it reached in 1989.
And this crash radiated throughout the japanese economy.Unemployment spiked, GDP growth went negative, and a ton of giant companies were left with tons of debt, and little to no revenue to pay back that debt.
And this was the creation of what became known as zombie companies.
What happened was that a large portion of japanese companies were loaded with debt and could not pay back their debt in full…but could pay back essentially the bare minimum to keep the company alive.
And what this meant was Japanese companies had to take on more debt or get bailed out by the Japanese government in order to get by.
But the trouble was, that even though many corporations got bailouts or took on additional loans…these companies were too debt ridden to survive in the long term.
So pretty much these companies were loaded with debt, and were already dead, but were acting as if they were alive. And that is why they were called zombie companies.
And the creation of these zombie companies were the largest contributing factor to Japans economic decline over the following decade. A decade that would become known as “the lost decade”.

Every business and financial situation is different, school can’t teach you everything even if it tried.
Go to Khan academy, you can learn for free.
Dear Nora, the two economists who understand the global economy and are non- political are Joe Stiglitz and Nomi Prins. They both have lots of video and some great books. Both are articulate and speak in simple terms - except when explaining the bond markets. (at least so I can understand the bond markets)

@@mainemail5506 yessir just running out of money
Recessions are an inherent aspect of the economic cycle, and the key is to get ready and adapt. I entered the workforce during a downturn in 2009. My initial job out of college was as an aerial acrobat on cruise ships. Presently, I hold the position of VP at a global corporation, own three rental properties, invest in stocks and businesses, operate my own company, and have grown my net worth by $500k in the past four years.
With supervision from an investment advis0r, I diversified my $401k portfolio across various markets, resulting in a net profit of over $850k within just a few months, thanks to high dividend-yielding stocks, ETFs, and bonds.
How can I get in touch with your advisor? I'm interested in finding a more effective investment strategy for my savings.
My financial advisor is Stacey Lee Decker, a highly qualified expert in portfolio diversification. Research her credentials, she's a valuable resource for financial supervision.
After reading your insights, I researched her full name and found her online webpage. Unfortunately, my portfolio took a significant hit, so holding it longer seems unwise. I will look to schedule a call with her.

The government should never bail any business out.
When the businesses own the government, literally are the government, good luck with that. They'll live in zombies getting more money than we peasants pay in our taxes with money printer go burr, but to keep us in line, if for anything else we'll still be taxed to the hilt despite the dubious paychecks; the past decade was shit for the median income earner.
This one looks like something worse than shit.
@Luau_KL - If we lived i a perfect world, the inflexible, dogmatic statement might be a reasonable policy position. But we don't live in that world. In THIS world, many businesses will receive govt assistance because they are deemed "TBTF" (too big to fail). We saw that with the big banks in the GFC. In this C0vid crisis, the aviation industry -- including Boeing & the airlines -- is being bailed out, for reasons of a)national security & b) foreign airlines who would replace the US carriers, are often backed by their foreign govts.
So, we live in a world where taxpayer dollars WILL be used to bail out "the Big Boys". Given that, in the interests of equity, smaller businesses should receive similar govt support, for some limited amount of time
Govt should bail out the strongest or say fundamentally good.

@@qjtvaddict Yeah we all better leave this place and travel with Musk to go to Mars!
A big problem with the current politic scene is that you can't make "impactful" changes like what was mentioned in the video, because if people lose their jobs everyone will blame your decisions and you won't have public support, while if you keep it "slowly declining" it's more likely that you won't be on charge anymore by the time the problems show up.
Wow
That's the issue with Democracy. Only voting someone in for 4-5 years creates a short-sighted government supported by a short-sighted populace, and all that with absolutely zero accountability.
For all the flaws behind dictators and monarchies, they were at least held accountable. And being in power for decades meant a bigger focus on the long term.
@@18pluskiddo this is just one of the issues, even tho it is the "least bad" method that we came up with so far it doesn't mean it's perfect, and it is ironic seeing people defending the flaws of democracy so fiercely, as if it was perfect, just like people probably defended monarchies back then...
@@l0kk016 ultimately the form of government matters less than the people's ability to protect each other's rights and liberties and to resist government tyranny.
I wouldn't care what form the government is if it's decentralized with the decision making as close to the community level as possible. It isn't fair for highly populated communities to be making the decisions for a whole nation nor is it fair for a very small oligarchy to be making all the decisions for the whole nation.
@@18pluskiddo Being held accountable doesn't mean much when the damage is done. Former Dictators can be jailed but it won't bring back all those they genocided, the Soviet Union can collapse but it won't restore the Aral Sea, Bolsonaro can be one day punished but the Amazon will still be gone. Rulers for life have the potential and power to do great things for many decades but they also have far less stopping them from making disastrous decisions.
Personally I'm hoping AI will one day take over global governance, I no longer trust any form of human rulership in the long term.
Three years in and the decade is lost. And you have no idea how much worse its going to get.
It is always socialism for the rich, capitalism for everyone else

Millenials: You always have your boomer parents to leech on.
you must also take into account that the decline in japanese growth may very well be primarily due to their population decline. Japanese population has stopped growing since the 90's and has been decreasing since the 2010's. You can't have much economic growth if your population decreases over time. The model of exponential economic growth requires population growth, otherwise you lose your consumer base.
Japanese population has decreased but their levels of automation have increased. They dont need the same number of people to keep things working
The US is seeing their population decline. The average family has 1.9 kids as opposed to 2.3 in the 1960s. And in many other western countries they’re either breaking even or decreasing as well.
while I'm sure that fits under an economic principle people need money to consume and just because there are more people doesn't mean there is more money?? Seems like a fallacy to me.
@@evadietz7359 No, because the immigration compensates for the lackluster birth rate. Japan refuses to get immigrants so they're in huge problem.
Their own country is only a fraction of their consumer base. Japanese products are sold all over the world.
We are going to go through much worse than the “lost decade” of Japan
All i can think about is this : China will sadly grasp on the world economy even more, and estabilish even bigger infulence over the free world.
Agreed. The only way to win is to not play.
as I understand it will be the Chinese economic bubble that will trigger the economic recession. I think they will be the first to "die"
Not really. They fucked themselves over by shitting on other countries for no reason and ruining their foreign relations. The pandenic ruined china's foreign relations even more, and i think we will see companies start pulling out of china and move to equivalently cheap or cheaper countries such as india or vietnam
@@Fr00stee I doubt it tbh. China already has the infrastructure built up so it's cheaper to just manufacture there. As for selling, companies see China as far too big of a market to cut out
@@YourPalKindredits not necessarily cheaper though, they already have to pay more to chinese workers than to workers in other countries. Like you said the only thing preventing this complete transition is because china has much better infrastructure than a country like india so its better for manufacturing goods, but if you are working with software there is literally no reason to have workers in china do it for you.

you’re missing a huge piece in that history of Japan. Japan was able to rebuild because of Korean War. They made lots of money from that. Yoshida's infamous analogy of the nearby bloody conflict, as a "god sent gift”
Watch War dogs the movie, thank me later
How?? Has far as I know they were able to rebuild because of US aid and the US rebuildof the Japanese economy. If I am not wrong one of the reasons the economic boom ever happened was because of U.S. contributions to their economy post ww2. Those who may profited from the korean war probably profited on a individual level and not on a nation level.

I think you underestimate Trump and the GOP leadership's ability to insert their foot in their mouths. Biden is prone to this as well; but the degree to which he does this is far less than, Trump, Pence, and others. The fact Trump, Pence, and others among the GOP are blatenly ignoring safety guidelines for the virus is a major problem.

@@ernestmac13 Some states are seeing declines in cases even AFTER reopening.
Besides, most of the new spikes in cases now can be blamed on the BLM protest that 1000 "health experts" condoned after tellin us that gatherings will spread the virus.
Trump can say anything and his base wouldn't care, and the republican establishment wouldn't risk angering voters by breaking with trump.
Where is the Republican national committee chair? He needs to screen candidates better. He should also, with full committee, have option of withdrawing party label, making the president run as an independent. A political party committee should also be set up as review of each party. The members chosen by lottery amongst independents. If a party fails to remove a leader who violates the principles agreed to, then either that leader goes or the party is disqualified that term.
@@hafbuckeye1324 Yeah, i remember when Biden campaigned on building a wall, and another country paying for it. Oh wait....
Japan’s “gifts from heaven” after WW2 were more like America’s plan to rebuild a stable democracy in place of totalitarianism. Same thing we did for Europe. I.E Marshall Plan back when the US had competent leaders and actually strived to provide for its citizens and overall make a better world. To prevent another world war.

Three big differences between now and the 80s-90s : 1) oil is much more expensive to get and doesn't generate nearly the profit (= wealth) 2) another 20+ yrs of trickle down economics has created much greater concentration of wealth 3) suppressed wages and benefits combined w escalating major expenses (housing, health care, secondary education) have led to a far greater number of workers living paycheck to paycheck.
As a result the economy is way less resilient than it was 30 yrs ago, making it much more vulnerable to disruptions such as The Virus.

7:00: You're missing a third option:
Evaluate companies recovery capacity, and auction off the companies, by force in some cases, to new owners based off of their bids. Give government access to nominal loans to existing firms that can create a good business plan for reconstitution them.
In short: buy out the unsustainable companies that now have no worth, and restructure them. Three ways to restructure: through existing private enterprises that can make a good sales pitch, through entrepreneurs, and finally through nationalisation if neccesarry. I'm not a fan of government being the first solution, so that last point is the last alternative that exists only for if the company performs a vital task, like providing water or food to an area and cannot fail.
And last the option exists to sell off the companies for scrap, like the ones that cannot turn a profit and are irredeemable, like making coal out of babies, or maps of a flat earth.

no bailouts. But we do need to move from debt and fraud as the basis for the economy to production and savings
gold-backed currency NOW
Also eliminate planned obsolence and redistribute wealth. Make the rich pay their due and let small local businesses flourish.
the only tangible solution to the current issues and crisis (which are just cycles of endemic internal issues of capitalism)
is to create an anarchist society (or libertarian society, or translated in american since the word libertarian has been corrupted, social libertarian society) , which is quite simple (aside from the change of society itself)
1 real democracy, no elected monarch or dictator or whatever "leader", people are in power, and they write and decide their own laws
2 we share the fruit of our production and distirbut it equally so that no one is left to die, therefore we stop producing shit we don't need, and we only work 1 day per week to produce the vital needs for everyone (which also show that the 4 other days in today's system are your life and money stolen by the capitalist, that's how you struggle and they have 5 houses and so on). That means that everyone gets to have their houses, their food, their clothes, their healthcare, their education and so on. the rest of the week everyone is free to do what they want (as long as it doesn't hurt other living creatures), in fact most people would not have "a job" but do different activities, from making a jewlery to plant a tomatoe , to paint, to teach, to learn new things to go the beach , to read, etc..
Since all vital needs are met there s little to no use for money, either money is also democratic in nature (poeple are the sole monetary creator and we implement a wealth redistribution protocol to avoid capital accumulation (or inequality), or we just get rid of that thing cuz we don't need it, and only luxury goods will be traded.
all form of capital accumulation is destroyed as it is an oppressive tool that only brings inequality and death. therefore crisis such as this one cease to exist because there's no market crisis anymore, no greedy financiers, and no bailing them out
we live on our planet, therefore we don't own it, it's our home, hence there s no property, but everyone got to get a home (maybe even two) and you can actually design it yourslef with the help of your neighbhoor, what it means, is that you have a house as long as you live there, is you die or want to change and live somehwere else you're free to exchange it with someone (thing of a big free air bnb) or built another one wherever you want to live (as long as it doesn't destroy the eco system around you).

The problem is much deeper than that. If you go back to gold, and outlawed the fractional banking system. The poor will automatically be better off.

Hi nice video. I'd recommend you put your sources in the description since this is a pretty important topic to talk about (global economics and politics and peoples lives and stuff). Also when mentioning statistics, whats nice to see in these types of videos is the name of the study where the stats come from in one of the corners of the screen. I'd think it would add credibility to your video and give some a launching point in which they can look into it more. Cheers.

Seems as if socializing losses and incentivizing risky behaviours (I.e. bailouts) is a poor solution for everyone while fierce competition and failure breads great success. Love the videos!
I recall in the early 2000's hearing the term "the lost decade" for Japan. I was then saying, wait for it to be over before you name it. Japan has been in a slump for 30 years now. Debt to GDP over 200% = future generations are F'ed

The labour movement has no power now. people will just accept whatever shitty terms they're offered- life will go on, but the quality of life will become progressively worse as time moves on, little luxuries people take for granted now will not be available to the general public as often.
It's gonna be more like the 1930's.
Officially, you're one of my favorite CZcamsrs out here!
I find it interesting that since the failure of Japan and the way they handled it is there for everyone to see, if they’re all taking the same approach obviously it benefits the few in some way. We are screwed.
You say that as if we haven't been screwed for ages

Thank you for the optimistic words, now I have one more reason to consider just ending it all.
Always enjoy your informative history rich videos.
My husband has worked for Lufthansa Airlines for 30 years. He has had a wonderful career and we have lived in various countries as a result. But more than that, most of our friends are also with the company - it comes with the territory when you travel a lot, your kids or third culture kids, etc. -And throughout the years, Lufthansa has been much much more than just an employer for its workers and their families. There is a whole culture behind it, and loyalty Which is been earned by the company’s policies towards their employees, and by the companies persistent striving for excellence. We all know that Lufthansa flight attendants used to be snippy an arrogant, and that was such a prevalent complete that a complete restructuring of service attitude and presentation was undertaken. I am American so I am certainly not coming up in defense of Germans here. But we flew a lot back in the day, and this change in service attitude for the better was clearly palpible . Anyway, I digress. When you speak of zombie corporations And their possible detriment to future economic growth, there is in my view an emotional factor here. The reason negotiations between the state of Germany and Lufthansa eV Had Lufthansa employees, former employees, and much of the country as a whole very upset, to put it mildly. Of course employees and retirees food for theirPaychex, even if reduced and their pensions. But they were emotional demonstrations held outside the Lufthansa headquarters in Frankfurt To show the love and pride for the company and the emotional connection people have With the Lufthansa brand, and with the fact that it’s always been there and is such a big part of Germany. Germans do not show their emotions so easily, so this was significant. These demonstrations we’re not violent ones demanding rights. They were sad, hopeful, and showed a deep connection with and pride in this company, , the freedom of flying that it brought to Germany early on, And in a nutshell, the commonly voiced sentiment that Lufthansa use up, how can there not be Lufthansa. Not to be confused nationalism at all, this was not an indicator of German patriotism, simply withwhat this company represents to so many people.
So how to bridge the gap between taking on state dead, and dragging a huge zombie company along for years, as opposed to giving up on the company entirely and letting it go into insolvency, thereby Crushing hopes of so many. What is your suggestion, to be able to maintain companies with such a bondWith so many people, without becoming the huge burden for the country at large?
Deutsche Bank: "Fake money breeds zombies".
When the Zombie-King speaks, thou shalt listen.
Just a couple of years ago Deutsche Bank was warning about a real-estate bubble in Canada. Of course that wasn’t the case; Canada is a huge country and its major cities react in different ways. Since then I always take Deutsche Bank’s warnings very lightly.
@@triplexlongueuil6106 canada have a massive real estate bubble, the average prices for house is 50% higher than in the USA, when in the same time the average wage and family incomes after tax are 30% lower, this is unsustainable. you should'nt need to take 20 years or more loan to buy a wooden house if you earn the average wage lol.

The video is literally titled "We are entering the lost decade", lol
Retired, receiving about 101k in dividends. I have been in the market about 30 years. Am I worried? Of course. Am I selling? Absolutely not. I have purchased stock a little at a time over the past few weeks. I am going to sit back and observe how this all plays out.
It is difficult not to make emotional decisions in times like these. Eye on the prize, stay the course
I have no idea what to do, should I sell or hold? Please I need suggestion guys, I’m starting to panic
Any recommendations ?

And yet you don’t see the urban blight and families living in cars, etc. that you see in other post-industrial nations. Also, I haven’t seen a severe downturn in any of the Japanese families lives that I know - and I live here (in Japan). I can’t give economic analyses as to why - just an observation.
haven’t we been in the lost decade for like 2 decades now?!? the color of the 90s faded after 9/11 and then it was just cold and heartless. then the economic crash hindering any opportunity until about 2015 where tech really got their footing for what is to come in this decade…the same with artists. I really feel we’re going to enter the golden era again for tech, biotech, as well as creators.
This whole thing is a game for the powerful. They are the wolves and you can't blame them for taking advantage of the sheep, this is how they thrive, meanwhile the sheep just bleat.

Video title: We Are Entering the "The Lost Decade"
ok dode.
*Just meme'ing btw, I really enjoyed the vid!
We are entering the future! Living in the future, we can see as virtual! Virtual reality, virtual social distances, virtual government, virtual choirs, virtual communication, virtual education, it is all virtual! We try to restart the economy, again, and again with the first wave, then the second wave. It goes on, with new out break. Great Britain offers top dollars to those who can risk their life, for a vaccine against covid-19! Many displaced people will opt for that, for desperation! Story coming out of China, those that had vaccines ,in order to receive money, from China government! They never received the money, but the effects of the vaccine, vis-a-vis dumbness, paralysis and so forth.
@@feliciaolarewaju1086 interesting take
Okay dode.
Good point!
@@feliciaolarewaju1086 wow
It's not a "collapse". It's a "reset". Big difference
Given the poor economic policies over the past 30 yrs and direness of the current situation, not sure it's possible to reset without a collapse.
All done by design by the new world order king pins.
Order out of chaos.
Does it have to collapse in order for a reset to be justified? What excuse will they use? I don't imagine they will take personal responsibility for all of the reckless spending. At present, it looks like they are sacrificing the dollar so they can usher in a digital currency, and they will use the virus as an excuse to reset everything rather than acknowledging decades of printing monopoly money that has slowly eroded the economy.
@@sarahmw8611 how do you propose the economy can be "reset" without some form of a collapse or struggle to put a new system in place?
I agree. I feel the that stock market is going to crash again but this "reset" will lead to not only a speedy recovery but a booming economy that we've never seen before.
Wow. You make economic situations a lot clearer for me. Please keep making videos especially on current aspects of the economy and possible future problems. There is so much that we don't know or understand. I realkly like your work.
P.S. You are not a "zombie company" are you? Hope not!
The problem with not bailing out the companies is that yes competitors will pop up
but they'll be absorbed by other larger companies desperate to maintain their monopolies they gained from the disappearance of the zombie companies
1. The whole concept of a stock market is the foundation of a corrupt economic system, gambling is corrupt.
2. Borrowing or lending is also corrupt.
3. Lobbying Congress by corporations is corrupt.
There can be only one outcome from so much corruption, you reap what you sow.
4. Pandering to human weakness by way of advertising is especially corrupt.
The world runs on corruption
Like the airlines, some companies are essential and are expected to recover in the future.
Thank you for these videos. They definitely help round out a lot of the information out there.
Hmm, this is very interesting. In light of the pandemic, this also brings some changes too. Primarily I work in a retail job (it sucks I'm working on getting a better one). One of the issues that I've been seeing is the collapse of supply networks; things that we need aren't coming in for weeks and/or months at a time; this causes stress as a lack of food makes customers unhappy. One of the things I learned from my history class is that a lack of food + financial trouble creates a formula for violent upheaval/revolution. I'm worried that in the upcoming decade, we will have massive worldwide change/conflict on our hands if there isn't any recovery economically or logistically.
"Seemed good at the time" as if it wasn't America basically forcing Japan to do those economic reforms and they never recovered. Same playbook that they are trying to do to China now and they just won't bite after this fiasco. American hegemony is something USA is willing to do at almost any cost.
It’s over this is the end of America
Sorry, but the Japanese in the 1980's were deliberately pushing down the value of the Yen. So, it was revalue the Yen or face import quotas.
@@qjtvaddict Define end of America? 😂 Us no being number 1? Oh no I’m so scared 😂
It could be the lost century...
It may well be a lost century. How long will it take to recover from a worldwide contraction, where Trillions are being used to inflate a burst bubble?
Believe me it will be The Apocalyptic Century. Droughts, floods, hurricanes/cyclones, cities sinking under the water, mass starvation, climate refugees, maybe some sort of Chernobyl in China and god knows what else. The problems created by us will definitely take decades to solve.
@Craig Carmichael This seems like a fantast tv show rather than reality.
@Craig Carmichael exactly overpopulation is one of the maon reasons this is hapeening
There's one person who deserves A LOT of blame for the mess that we're in and that's Janet Yellen. But you never see anyone talking about her because people have short memories, and people don't really pay that much attention to Fed chairs despite the vast amount of power they wield. Yellen kept the pedal to the metal on low interest rates during her tenure rather than trying to get them back to healthy levels. Why? She didn't want to get blamed for a recession, especially as the first female fed chair.
There has been a recession/depression every decade, effects vary by country, but they pop up with alarming regularity. The 20’s will be no different.
I had no idea zombie companies were a thing, but it does seem like they could be a genuine threat. We should remember that the principle of stocks going up in the long run is true most of the time, but not all the time, as seen by the Japanese or European stock exchanges.
Amazing content !! love that way you talk about the flaws of the economic theory - lower Interest rate doesn't necessarily contribute Long Term Economic growth due to the increase presents of unproductive zombies companies !!!
You forgot another aspect. 2020 is the decade when the boomers retire. So, the largest generation that was investing in everything for retirement, will now start withdrawing their money from the economy, which will greatly reduce the amount of investment capital available. This was going to be a tough economic decade, even before covid. Many developed economies will never recover to where they've been in 2019, because of their shrinking, aging population
It's way better to call 2020s "The Dooming Twenties". We're in the second year of the health crisis.
7:20 "I'm not saying we are going to go through the 'Lost Decade', but the title to the film says "We Are Entering 'The Lost Decade.'" Nice duplicity.
STOCK MARKET'S ARE UP.
ZOMBIE COMPANY'S INCREASING.
GOLD IS KING FOR NEXT DECADE.
gold is king. haha!
Gold, silver, and copper plated lead.
Gold has always been sound money and has never lost value. Their is a reason these banks are buying up gold
Black Lives are King 💪🏿👑
Bitcoin is a digital currency that functions a lot like gold as a long-term buy and hold investment, as well as a hedge against inflation, it is also much easier to buy, sell, and transport than gold. Coinbase and Gemini are both trusted apps with millions of users where you can buy, sell, and store Bitcoin. Food for thought.
time to know precisely what I'm going to do 10 years from now, go through 4 years more of school and be a broken man at 20 without any outlook on life
I was born into poverty. Managed to climb up, then there was the first economic crisis of the 2000s. Back to poverty. Now, I've managed to climb back up again, just for another economic crisis to begin. Why even try? I'm just gonna throw myself in front of a train, I'm done
I live in Dallas, which is in opening up which is really stupid. But it's surviving semi-well considering all of the World's largest banks & hedge fund firms operate here. Other than that its teeming with homelessness, business closure, & extreme inequality (worst in history). I'm flat out miserable here just live in my soulless box & just go to the grocery store. I'm 31 during the start of the pandemic. Had a crazy ass wild twenties so at least I have a decade of memories from the tech revolution I luckily experienced.
Are you suggesting we should stay in lockdown for a virus that 95.5% of people taken ill will overcome?
They say my uncle has tested positive but he has no symptoms, and he is like 73 years old.
No, the real pandemic is how much people are brainwashed by the media.
The media pushed the summer of shark attacks a few years ago.... Turns out there were no more shark attacks than usual; the media just pushed the fear button and every one fell for it. It was the trial run.
I truly believe that China purposely used the corona virus to make America fall so that they can surpass the us like it’s now all starting to unfold now
@@cheek_clapper1064 I understand you but China was actually attacked though it knew how to answer in kind immediately. The power that attacked, a middle sized one, is France, thanks to its especially sadistic oligarchy : the other Western powers such as the USA just connive without moving. France has started WWIII and it did so as for the backlash to fall upon its own people only not upon the USA. France being a middle power can use nukes against Iran or Syria without implying the whole world into a nuclear war. France like the USA is a fake democracy though it has like former USSR a non-elected general secretary of the Socialist Party who is the main decider, like Stalin and Mao used to be : Jacques Attali. He clearly announced 40 years ago that France would unleash a pandemic onto the world to prove to the peoples of the world that democracy has to be phased out.
Government role should be limited to making sure the playing field is level, prevent or break monopolies and nothing else.
What about garbage disposal?
Economics aside, we already have a 20% lost decade
Soon that’ll be 30%, I really doubt 2022 will be any better than this year. China will probably annex Mongolia or Tajikistan or something.

The " Make America Great Again" Decade!
Can’t do that when the liberal socialist are destroying it all
Not Todd Howard very true statement
The government should never be able to issue fiat currency.
It's already against the law. They maybe get around that law by having the Federal Reserve issue it.
Have to disagree. Studies show that fiat currency, if handled well, gives a lot better economic growth.
Sadly us economy is terribly handled.

Boomers: you just need to work harder. Stop wasting 8 hours on sleep and KEEP PUTTING YOUR PRODUCTIVITY INTO MY PORTFOLIO!
Can’t speak for the rest of the world but the free market economy has been dead for at least 25 years. Especially when the president and feds decides which companies are too big to fail and shield bankers from bad decisions. Also what makes us different from Japan are three things.
1. Reserve Currency for the world.
2. Federal Reserve with a printing press. (To print fiat currency)
3. Military
This too shall end.
It could be the "Last Decade".
@Craig Carmichael Something like Communism (as envisaged in Marx's earlier writing) is inevitable. Not just because of political movements per se - a critical mass of people of divergent ideologies will learn the hard way that off-the-leash capitalism will always subvert the culture that facilitates it and undermine democracy - but because of scientific developments in AI, genetic engineering, etc.
@Paul Steven kik?
Nah, that too easy. they have been saying that since the 00's
@@markofsaltburn No, it is not. While capitalism can paralyze us temporarily, communism will END us. Ask the former Soviet countries if they think communism was a good idea. Ask Venezuelans if it has brought them any joy. Ask a Zimbabwean if the land they nationalised can be eaten. Capitalism is flawed, but communism can only work when all politicians are angels. And we all know that is a universal impossibility.

funny how you can talk about debt without mentioning how that "money" came into existence from thin air
They print more money out, to loan it to companies and individuals!
@@feliciaolarewaju1086 the problem is that it has no real value, it's backed by nothing ever since nixon took the dollar off the gold standard in 71. The fact that you can buy a bread with it can and is about to change literally overnight.
How the money came into existence? It has no value! No, it has value! Money has value! The value is whatever, it worth! How money came into existence? After the flood of Noah, remember the flood of Noah, it rained for days, and Noah and his 4 children and wives enter the boat, that God directed Noah to build, warning him, of the destruction of the earth with water. Everybody died in flood except Noah and his family in the boat. The boat landed around Turkey as the flood receded! Those four kids and their wives split, one goes to North Africa, one to Europe, one stay in the Middle east. 7 billion people today, came from Noah's family! They started to trade in item. I give you yam, or potatoes, in exchange for yarn of wool! That is how money started. It started from exchange of goods. Even, during the time of slave trade, African's fathers and leaders, traded their children and neighbors for wine, mirrors, and other goods. Later on, the British who explored many countries and trade goods for slaves, to the new founded land in USA, as agricultural labourers, demarcated, the land as countries! They made maps, and boundaries for each countries and then, each country have government, and then money were named, for trade rather than barter control. That is , instead of goods exchange for other goods, money were printed out, and prices were set, for each goods. That is how money started.
@@feliciaolarewaju1086 Except the Noa story is not true.

My financial reality wakeup call was in the mid-70s. Not long out of high school with no marketable skills. When the recession hit, I was out of work for over a year. If it was not for my mother, I would have lost my car. Since that time, any major financial decision was done remembering that time. My parents had the Great Depression, I have the mid70’s and someone just starting out will have 2020
Yep, that's me. Just graduated from college in December. I'm going to remember this time for the rest of my life, with both caution and derision. After all, it is my generation that will be footing the bill for the trillions in stimulus checks and bailouts.
Before the Chinese and Korean "wave" of young people travelling, going to school, and spending their Japanese earnings in Canada, we had the homestay students and the practice of young Japanese to travel for a year before assuming their adult livesi n Japan. THAT came to a sudden halt. Our placement business became all Chinese within four years.
The "letting bad companies die" is a good plan until you realise the debt they hold is what banks consider assets - which means defaulting could risk a necessity to liquify other assets and do what was done 2008 - ultimately ending again with central banks bailing those assets. The banking sector again, has massive leverage and massive portfolio of assets corona just blew a hole in. If those companies can't pay, the banks can't pay. It's as simple as that.
Yep, time to let 'em die.
Take the pain.
Reset is an unavoidable necessity.
yes sir
I agree, but there will be a ripple effect possibly taking their creditors down with them.
Well our leaders are talking about "THE GREAT RESET."
Hope so, strong conservatives can rebuild and libtard snowflakes will compost
It won't be a pleasant aftermath
Japan's post-WW2 economy was rebuilt with American assistance. Douglas MacArthur was the US military governor there for several years. The same scenario existed in West Germany after WW2.
I think they need to let these Zombie Companies go. We seen what happened in Japan in the 1990s.. those that don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it. It'll suck for a bit, but as stated, the economy would bounce right back.

@@gabbar51ngh So you're saying that the US need accumulate enough gold to back all the money in circulation and all the debt it owes?

“I’m not saying we are entering a ‘lost decade’….”
Literally names the video We Are Entering a “Lost Decade”
Very well constructed video.
My question, and counterpoint to this conversation is, how does the labor shortage impact or effect these zombie companies.
Right now we are experiencing a labor shortage or labor contraction which has never been experienced before. I wouldn't figure zombie companies could compete effectively in this new labor market due to the inability to increase wages and correct working conditions.
This may accelerate the crash...
Decreasing long term impacts on the economy while increasing the sudden collapse of companies in the short.
Just a thought.
