Are U.S. workers being fairly compensated in wages and salary? Or are workers being taken advantage of? Are modern day business owners and CEO's making too much money? Should Millionaires and Billionaires have to pay more in taxes? Or is more capitalism and competition the solution?
On this channel we've talked about workplace issues and workplace trends for years. The divide between the working class and the top 1% is growing. In response, we've seen trends like Quiet Quitting and Quiet Firing enter the workplace. Quiet Vacationing was another trend that took the U.S. by storm. But as tensions have grown between CEO's and workers, workers have not found much success.
The rising cost of living in the United States (and across the world) has affected many families negatively. And as prices rise, due to inflation, corporate greed, and government policies, most people are now drowning in debt.
But what's the solution? How can we recover the American economy, to work for working class people?

What Happens to Capitalism When None Of Us Have Any Capital Left? by Fads

While there are a variety of factors that affect fertility rates and birth rates - one tremendous factor is the economy.
Financially, many people are unable to afford groceries, housing, and in turn, children right now. Many young people are currently paycheck to paycheck, and drowning in debt, which makes it scary to become a parent.
But what do you think? Is America's population about to decline? Or is just a temporary trend that will pass, over time?

As Generation Z grows into adulthood, home ownership is starting to seem like it's largely out of reach for an entire generation. Buying a home is no longer affordable like it used to be.
America's modern money problems only seem to be getting worse for young people. Debt is exploding and politically, no changes are being made.
Do you think Gen Z will have a future that involves home ownership? Or is Gen Z destined to own nothing and be happy?

With all of the new workplace trends being talked about on social media, it's no surprise that more and more workers are identifying generational divides in the workplace.
In recent years, there was major discussion around Quiet Quitting, and Why Quiet Quitting was the best thing that Gen Z ever did. Many baby boomers, managers, and CEO's fought back against the trend.
Even more recently, RTO, return to office, remote work, and hybrid work have caused division in the workplace. Coffee Badging and other working class behaviors have been identified as ways to achieve work-life balance.
But the overarching theme, between most workplace trends and debates over the past decade - is a battle between young and old. Gen Z workers are not working the way that past generations have. Many managers are unsure of how to manage and deal with Gen Z in the workplace.
Do you think Gen Z is in the wrong? Or are these companies wrong? Is Gen Z the most difficult generation to work with?

Gen Z is reshaping the future of work, here’s how by CNBC
youtube.com/watch?v=2R1NrHu2axk&list=PL5nwp3dk0Z518m2fv6Of2UqTb7QxEX99K
Economic crisis, digital culture, isolation, and government scandals have shaped Gen Z's upbringing and development in the modern world.
This generation, like Gen Alpha, was largely raised with access to social media and the internet. Baby Boomers, and other older generations, have watched Gen Z's development, often with bitterness. As a whole, Gen Z is reliant on the dopamine provided by their phones and social media. This is unlike any previous generation in America.
But nonetheless, Gen Z has become more conservative and traditional in a number of ways. While this generation is facing all sorts of new and unique issues - they're trying to find their way in a crazy digital world.
In recent years, there was major discussion around Quiet Quitting, and Why Quiet Quitting was the best thing that Gen Z ever did. Many baby boomers, managers, and CEO's fought back against the trend.
Even more recently, RTO, return to office, remote work, and hybrid work have caused division in the workplace. Coffee Badging and other working class behaviors have been identified as ways to achieve work-life balance.
Gen. Z has quickly become a change agent to American society and American workplaces.
Do you think Gen Z is justified in their actions and their cyncism? Or does Gen Z just need to toughen up and get over their issues?
Let me know below...
Thanks guys,

While the housing market has slowed and rebounded in the past, this time appears to be different. The housing shortage in America is the most severe that it's been - maybe ever. Will housing prices drop in 2025? Will housing prices drop under Donald Trump? It seems unlikely. The current housing crisis is somewhat an issue of policy - but it's also an issue of inventory.
There's a giant shortage of homes in America, today. And while government policies can help builders to more cheaply, build more homes - we have a long way to go.
We need more homes if we want America to remain successful and prosperous. Workers can't take this economic downturn much longer.
I love y'all - let's keep our chins up & get through this together.

With remote work becoming widespread, workers have opted to work around the country, while traveling. This new workplace trend is sending corporate America over the edge.
Bad bosses are raging at this new labor trend, calling it a liability and more.
Do you agree with the idea of quiet vacations? Should employees be allowed to travel during remote hours? Should they be able to work from anywhere? Or should that luxury be reserved for CEO's?

Coffee Badging is a continuation of the fight for work-life balance that we've seen since 2022 with Quiet Quitting. This trend, much like Quiet Quitting, has outraged companies and corporations across America. With more companies choosing RTO - Return to Office policies, more people are looking for ways to balance their job with their life.
What do you think of this trend? Is it warranted? Should workers continue to Coffee Badge, working hybrid / remote?

We're starting to look like the argentina economy in 2024. Inflation is out of control, and the cost of living is increasing for all americans. Despite the average american worker struggling financially, most big businesses and government officials are doing great. They've rigged the economy to their benefit.
Funds like Blackrock and Vanguard continue to purchase single family homes, making housing more unaffordable for Gen Z and millenials.
Luckily we've got politicians proposing ideas like the The Inflation Relief Act of 2024, which could help the struggling middle class. With Trump set to be our next U.S. President, we're in for some interesting changes. The Trump Economy will likely see many tax reforms and cuts to government spending. Still - our past politicians and corporate oVeRloRds are the ones who got us into this recession that we're in. Don't hold your breathe that they'll suddenly fix it.

I think our best days are still ahead of us, Praise God - but we've got some work to do. We need to de-escalate this conflict before it boils over.
This time around we've got a big number of swing states:
Nevada
Wisconsin
Pennsylvania
North Carolina
Georgia
Arizona
Michigan
Currently, Trump is winning in Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Georgia, Arizona, and Michigan.
Kamala Harris has a slight advantage in Nevada and Wisconsin.
Recently, Trump worked at McDonalds for 15 minutes, and then Trump worked on a garbage truck / trash truck. Trump's campaign has been working over time to get the working class' vote.
On the other hand, Kamala Harris has sought the endorsements of some Republican figures. Recent rumors suggest that Nikki Haley may endorse Kamala Harris, just days before the election.
Controversy has been a mainstay in this election cycle, as democrats rail against Donald Trump's Madison Square Garden (MSG) rally, and republicans question Kamala on her record as vice president, and claims about listening to Tupac in college.
As crazy as the 2016 Presidential Election was ... 2024 is turning out to be pretty crazy too.
Networks like ABC have aired test results recently, creating conspiracy theories about the election before it's even started.
And in the midst of all of this partisan chaos, I trying to give you my thoughts and opinions as a previously 3rd party swing voter.
How will I vote in 2024? Let's talk about it.

At the peak of John's success as "Boonk Gang" online, he amassed over 4.5 million followers across his different social media platforms. Gabbana's social media antics would soon land him in jail, where he would first have an encounter with The Lord.
After spending several months in Jail, and having multiple encounters with God, John Gabbana gave his life to Jesus Christ.
Holy Gabbana now uses his social media platform to minister and spread the Good News of The Gospel.

Wealth is being eroded, labor is being eroded, and the quiet quitting is largely a backlash to CEO's indifference in the face of economic hardship for middle America.

Today we reexamine some of the arguments and frustrations towards Quiet Quitters, and discuss whether they have any validity or not.
Is Gen Z lazy? Is Quiet Quitting a bad thing?
Most of the comments in today's video come from the following video:
youtube.com/watch?v=uBVvyxOZViI
Via the original video:
Quiet Quitting Tiktok has blown up in the past few months. Tik Tok users have been posting about their experiences with bad bosses, bad workplaces, and how they've quiet quit their jobs.
In turn, many have asked What is Quiet Quitting and Is Quiet Quitting a bad thing?
Quiet Quitting (QQ) can be defined as follows: Meeting your job's minimum requirements, but not going beyond. You're mentally checked out of work after you're off the clock.
"Quiet Quitting" largely came from Generation Z (Gen Z) kids, tired of their bad work environments, low wages, and bad bosses. The movement spread across Tiktok and other social media platforms quickly, as more and more young people identified with the trend, and some older boomers wrestled with the idea.
Today we examine Why Quiet Quitting has become so big and so popular over the past few months - we also address whether it's a good thing or a bad thing.
In my view, Quiet Quitting is a byproduct of decades of poor economic decisions, short sided corporate leadership, and working class burnout. Quiet Quitting, by virtue of what it is, means that workers are still collecting their paychecks, and doing the bare minimum work to collect those paychecks, but they're not getting mentally invested in their jobs. I argue that Quiet Quitters are extremely burnt out. Quiet Quitting is a byproduct of workplace burnout.
Some have referred to Quiet Quitting as Silent Quitting, because it's not technically quitting. Workers who quiet quit are really just checking the boxes of what their managers expect.
They're getting their jobs done - they're just not doing extra for zero pay. This is where you get the term "Act Your Wage" - if you're not being paid to do something, then don't do it.
I have a lot of sympathy for Gen Z and Millennials who are focused to Quiet Quit like this. Baby Boomers have beaten the idea of "hard work" into young people, but in 2022 - hard work is simply not enough. Young workers today are forced to work 2 and sometimes 3 jobs to survive. The idea of being mentally present and dedicated to multiple jobs isn't realistic.
Young people today are having troubles buying homes, buying cars, and even paying rent. The economy is doing terrible and young people are running out of options.
My argument is: If Gen. Z and Millennials can't afford homes even after dedicating themselves fully to a job, then why should we expect people not to quiet quit? Quiet Quitting can be a good thing if it means people can get paid for two or three jobs instead of just 1. Mental bandwidth is limited in 2022 and 2023. Our minds aren't limitless. We have to work smarter, not harder with our times.
The Working Class is Quiet Quitting your jobs because it's the only way to survive. Companies aren't paying out enough for people to justify complete loyalty to a single company.
Bosses aren't cutting checks good enough for the average middle class kid to buy a house.
Prices just keep going up. Corporate profits keep going up. Inflation keeps going up. The only thing that doesn't go up in any meaningful way is Worker Pay - Worker Wages - Worker Compensation.
These economic trends help to explain why quiet quitting happens.
Also, after the great resignation happened - worker burnout hit a new level. Workers who stayed at their jobs became very tired and overworked. Quiet Quitting is partially a byproduct of that great resignation that happened in mid to late 2022.
I believe that this movement is largely a defense mechanism of a stressed American Working Class. People can't justify being more productive when there's no monetary reward. Labor isn't free. Labor needs to be compensated - that's how the youth largely feels.
Some of the biggest names in media have talked about Quiet Quitting: Dr. Phil, Trevor Noah, Matt Walsh, Mr. Wonderful a.k.a kevin o'leary, joshua fluke, cnn, etc. This just goes to show how powerful this movement has become. Social media users have essentially started a digital union.
Workers rights will be fought for on social media in the next decade - that's the trend that I'm seeing.
I believe Quiet Quitting is a tool that Gen Z can use to regain leverage in the job market. Quiet Quitting is not a bad thing if used correctly. It could allow people in their 20's to have a brighter future. That's just my two cents though - what do you think?

Today we're giving you the beginning of that conversation and debate. I've brought on two of my friends for this debate - Emmanuel Romanous and Spencer K, who both work in tech. Each of these guests are Gen Z individuals, who have worked in bad, low paying jobs, as well as better, higher paying jobs.
Emmanuel's channel: youtube.com/@LazyIntellectuals
With trends like Coffee Badging, the great resignation, and quiet firing taking over the internet - it's important to ask what is the meaning of Quiet Quitting?
Quiet quitting can be defined as "Meeting the requirements of your job, without going above and beyond." Some employers refer to it as "doing the bare minimum," while many workers have said that Quiet Quitting is "just doing your job."
The split between those who support Quiet Quitting and those who oppose Quiet Quitters is big. Many folks from the older generation, along with managers, bosses, and CEO's, tend to hate Quiet Quitting. Many young people (Gen Z, millenials, Gen Alpha, etc.) tend to support Quiet Quitting. For that matter, it seems as though most of the working class supports Quiet Quitting - but there are some opponents who call Quiet Quitters lazy.
Is Quiet Quitting wrong? Is Quiet Quitting bad? Is Quiet Quitting lazy?
We address several of these pressing questions in this Gen Z only debate.
If you haven't already watched my viral breakdown of Quiet Quitting, you can watch it here:

These are the events leading up to the interview date. We explored the Montana nature, started a few campfires, and got our car stuck in the snow. Even though we didn't meet with America's Most Extreme Survivalist until the last day of our trip, making this vlog might have been my favorite part.
Most of all though, I wasn't prepared for the insanity that came with our 6 man group. Shoutout to the guys who made this trip so funny and entertaining:

The Quiet Quitting movement has received a lot of backlash online in the past two years, making it one of the most talked about workers rights movements in recent history.
Today we reexamine some of the arguments and frustrations towards Quiet Quitters, and discuss whether they have any validity or not.
Is Gen Z lazy? Is Quiet Quitting a bad thing?
Most of the comments in today's video come from the following video:

Quiet Quitting Tiktok has blown up in the past few months. Tik Tok users have been posting about their experiences with bad bosses, bad workplaces, and how they've quiet quit their jobs.
In turn, many have asked What is Quiet Quitting and Is Quiet Quitting a bad thing?
Quiet Quitting (QQ) can be defined as follows: Meeting your job's minimum requirements, but not going beyond. You're mentally checked out of work after you're off the clock.
"Quiet Quitting" largely came from Generation Z (Gen Z) kids, tired of their bad work environments, low wages, and bad bosses. The movement spread across Tiktok and other social media platforms quickly, as more and more young people identified with the trend, and some older boomers wrestled with the idea.
Today we examine Why Quiet Quitting has become so big and so popular over the past few months - we also address whether it's a good thing or a bad thing.
In my view, Quiet Quitting is a byproduct of decades of poor economic decisions, short sided corporate leadership, and working class burnout. Quiet Quitting, by virtue of what it is, means that workers are still collecting their paychecks, and doing the bare minimum work to collect those paychecks, but they're not getting mentally invested in their jobs. I argue that Quiet Quitters are extremely burnt out. Quiet Quitting is a byproduct of workplace burnout.
Some have referred to Quiet Quitting as Silent Quitting, because it's not technically quitting. Workers who quiet quit are really just checking the boxes of what their managers expect.
They're getting their jobs done - they're just not doing extra for zero pay. This is where you get the term "Act Your Wage" - if you're not being paid to do something, then don't do it.
I have a lot of sympathy for Gen Z and Millennials who are focused to Quiet Quit like this. Baby Boomers have beaten the idea of "hard work" into young people, but in 2022 - hard work is simply not enough. Young workers today are forced to work 2 and sometimes 3 jobs to survive. The idea of being mentally present and dedicated to multiple jobs isn't realistic.
Young people today are having troubles buying homes, buying cars, and even paying rent. The economy is doing terrible and young people are running out of options.
My argument is: If Gen. Z and Millennials can't afford homes even after dedicating themselves fully to a job, then why should we expect people not to quiet quit? Quiet Quitting can be a good thing if it means people can get paid for two or three jobs instead of just 1. Mental bandwidth is limited in 2022 and 2023. Our minds aren't limitless. We have to work smarter, not harder with our times.
The Working Class is Quiet Quitting your jobs because it's the only way to survive. Companies aren't paying out enough for people to justify complete loyalty to a single company.
Bosses aren't cutting checks good enough for the average middle class kid to buy a house.
Prices just keep going up. Corporate profits keep going up. Inflation keeps going up. The only thing that doesn't go up in any meaningful way is Worker Pay - Worker Wages - Worker Compensation.
These economic trends help to explain why quiet quitting happens.
Also, after the great resignation happened - worker burnout hit a new level. Workers who stayed at their jobs became very tired and overworked. Quiet Quitting is partially a byproduct of that great resignation that happened in mid to late 2022.
I believe that this movement is largely a defense mechanism of a stressed American Working Class. People can't justify being more productive when there's no monetary reward. Labor isn't free. Labor needs to be compensated - that's how the youth largely feels.
Some of the biggest names in media have talked about Quiet Quitting: Dr. Phil, Trevor Noah, Matt Walsh, Mr. Wonderful a.k.a kevin o'leary, joshua fluke, cnn, etc. This just goes to show how powerful this movement has become. Social media users have essentially started a digital union.
Workers rights will be fought for on social media in the next decade - that's the trend that I'm seeing.
I believe Quiet Quitting is a tool that Gen Z can use to regain leverage in the job market. Quiet Quitting is not a bad thing if used correctly. It could allow people in their 20's to have a brighter future. That's just my two cents though - what do you think?

In the early 1950's, an experiment was run on a remote boys summer camp. Experimenters secretly ran social experiments on two groups of 11 year old boys, in order to better understand human behavior and social patterns. The boys were placed in manufactured situations, without their knowledge, allowing researchers to see human behavior under different conditions...

The experiment is this video is known as the robbers cave experiment, and has come under fire in recent history for its unethical methods. The summer camp boys, and their parents, had no idea that this experiment was even being conducted in 1954. They thought they'd signed up for a regular summer camp. The methods were undoubtedly vicious at times, but this research has led modern social scientists to better understand realistic conflict theory between social groups.
While the two groups of boys in this experiment were just kids, this data tells us a lot about human behavior and today's politics. This experiment really helped to explain tribalism, political loyalty, and why America's system works the way that it works.
This experiment can serve to explain a lot of today's left vs. right, political division. The boys in this experiment were increasingly tribal in nature, as they were divided and pitted against each other. In the United States today, we see a lot of the same between Republicans and democrats.
Look at our past few Presidents in the United States: Donald Trump, Joe Biden, and Barak Obama. None of these presidents have been particularly capable synergistic leaders. The us vs. them mentality that this experiment explores, has largely been exploited by our politicians to gain more money and power. Politicians profit off of political wars and divisions. The common people don't, though.
What's incredible about this book however, is that it does identify a solution to our divided country...
America might be headed for the end if we don't head this lesson...
"Common goals that require cooperation."
This is the solution to America's coming collapse. This is the solution to all of the hate that we've seen growing in our country.
Unifying America can be done with a common goal, that requires the cooperation of liberals and conservatives together.
If we don't find an American politician who wants what's best for America and the working class, then we'll have to find this common purpose on our own, at a grassroots level.
I propose that we work to restore America's faith in the Lord, and work towards rebuilding our broken culture.
I love you guys, and genuinely - thank you for watching 🙏
