There's another thread on wealth inequality which you can access here:


This one is going to be a bit different. I plan on posting mainly about surviving in an economy based on wealth inequality and where the game is rigged. Feel free to chime in.

This may seem like it's preaching to the choir, but we do have guests and it's a subject I enjoy. YMMV, so take it fwiw and dyodd.

Gary Stevenson on Surviving the Broken Economy and His Mission to Stop Rising Inequality​

In this episode, Jake and Damian sit down with Gary to break down the rising poverty crisis and how the economic system is designed to benefit the wealthy while keeping everyone else stuck. He explains why working harder isn’t the solution and how the financial rules are set up to make it nearly impossible for most people to get ahead.

Gary also dives into the impact of major political shifts, including what Donald Trump’s return to power could mean for everyday people. He shares insights on the economic changes coming in the next 12 months that could directly affect the money in our pockets, and why young people need to rethink how they approach success in today’s economy.

How to keep your house​

Own a house? The rich will take everything else away from you until you have to sell.

The Fed inflates asset prices. You want to benefit, you need to own the inflated assets. Stacking gold and silver is the counter play. Stacking is preparing for the time when the Fed loses power/control (assets and USD crash).
 
^^^^^
Gary Stevenson (video dude) has said the same thing.
 
This is one man's opinion, take it fwiw and dyodd. Nothing to see, can listen in one tab, play around the forum in a different tab.

Gary Stevenson on taxing the rich and why you're getting poorer | WTCTW podcast​

Mar 5, 2025 Ways to Change The World | Podcast

Why are the rich getting even wealthier while the middle and working classes continue to struggle? Former top trader Gary Stevenson - the star behind popular YouTube channel ‪@garyseconomics‬
  • breaks down how wealth inequality is driving down living standards for the middle and working classes on this episode of Ways to Change the World.
He tells Krishnan Guru-Murthy how the rich grow their wealth through passive income and investments, while ordinary people fall into debt, and argues that low interest rates, tax policies, and government responses to crises like 2008 and COVID-19 have mainly benefited the wealthy, deepening the financial divide. And finally, he urges people to educate themselves and push for change before inequality spirals further out of control.

I enjoy Gary's vids but they are one man's opinion so you should dyodd.

Why aren't we all getting rich from compound interest?​

Mar 9, 2025

Just let your wealth compound over time and you'll be a millionaire, the advice goes. If this is true, why aren't more people rich?
