Palani, Book's right. This video and thread is too important to get derailed. Everyone should take the time to watch this video, and comment on it. If you don't invest the time to watch this, don't comment, because it will just derail the thread.
That being said, I get about 50% wage increase if our customer is the gov, in my work. For doing the same work. Private company customer, one wage. Gov contract, 50% more, roughly. These are gov funded construction projects I'm mentioning.
I feel palani will find these statements most agreeable.
Watched the first 10-15 min then scanned the rest. Decent video, I feel it has a ton of economic data/numbers, and would be good to show any friends that don't really have a clue or are just starting to wake up.
Then again if they're just now starting to wake up they might do better going back to sleep.
Anyone of the mindset generally found on this site would have/should have seen the picture this video paints a long while ago.
Just my two zinc pennies worth.

Exactly.
I am really struck that Stefan Molyneux is able to recite all the grim statistics of our current Reality during this video while remaining calm and maintaining such a pleasant demeanor. Kinda surprising that he doesn't rant like most others. Not even a hint of being, himself, personally unhinged or angry or morose. Probably the most sane man among us. He concludes by frankly stating that really hard times are ahead and suggests accumulating gold and FOOD. Didn't mention guns and ammo...
I dunno how he maintains his personal calm.

Stefan Molyneux suffers from ideology induced cognitive dissonance, he had several episodes of it during this video. Always fun to watch...
Other than that, he covered the topic very well.
The only ones who benefit from the conflation of money and credit are the issuers of credit with no money.

Honor The Most High, Keep His Commandments and all will go well with you.
I'm pretty calm right now.
We're fucked. Maybe Stefan knows this, I'm sure he does, but just says 'fuck it'. Pardon my language.
I am not sure I understand your post, Book. However, these facts and numbers stand for themselves...if you listen to Stefan. Listen to the numbers.
We are fucked.
Pardon my language. We are though.

Reason is where ever you might find it and I find more reason in old law books than in fictional TV dramas. The above excerpt is an exception.
The economy is now and always has been a federally controlled thing. It was destined to fail from the git go ... hence the 14th amendment proclamation from Big Daddy United States (the pre-Civil War government):
