In this video I discuss some of the myths put forward in the Adam Ruins Everything Episode about the American Dream and poverty in America. I explain where Adam is actually sharing myths instead of disputing them

Adam looks like a closeted gay Christian youth pastor
He looks more like an American relative of James Corden.
@@peachesandcream22Damn, that's a perfect description. But which one is the biggest douche?
Didnt Adam ruin himself on joe Rogan?
unapologetically mike I don’t think anyone on planet earth watches that guy outside of their lefty professors who brainwash kids.
As well as long before that. It might as well be called ‘One World View, Just to make America(ans) Feel Horrible for Existing’
I guess it doesn’t roll off the tongue smooth enough tho...
Yes, that interview was an hour of a whipped beta male trying to convince a confident alpha male that alphas and betas don't exist while the alpha politely humored him.
Nice!
I forgot about that- that was BRUTAL, and Joe wasn't even trying to be brutal.
Adam ruins everything can be basically summed up as "well, actually..."
That's literally the point of the show?
@@blahblahblah6241 Except with most "Well, actually...." are meant to be corrections. ARE is "Well, actually.... I'm an idiot."
I remember being a fan of Adam Ruins Everything when it came out. Now looking back, I honestly believe that most of the show's content was just Adam repeating a bunch of Robert Reich talking points.
Turns out, one of the executive producers was actually Robert Reich's son, Sam Reich.
The concept isn't bad, I love watching things educating me about various subjects. The problem is he's a braindead midwit repeating propaganda and passing it off as "intelligent" content
“America isn’t actually the best at everything, so America is obviously the worst.” - Adam the ruiner
Ain't it interesting how none of these phaguettes ever want to leave these "racist/sexist/bigoted" United States/Western nations? 😒
They fetishize turd-workers, but never seem to want to live in their location or even among them. 😒
@@fascisttubeisshadowbanning6615 What's more egregious is that they want to import the whole third world into America, most of whom have very archaic and in the case of millions of muslims, violent/extremist beliefs about gay people. Talk about voting against your own interests lol.
Adam the ruined* FTFY
@Jeff Oliver It's because China is both a communist and a capitalist country so the left decided it's close enough, so they have no objection to exploiting sweatshop workers since the government that's allowing these sweatshops to be run or is running them is communist.
@@fascisttubeisshadowbanning6615 lol i love your creative way of spelling ;) gives me hope for the future
I remember when joe Rogan brought him on and roasted him.
Yes, and boy was it satisfying
He didn't even roast him, he asked basic questions on topics Adam's had brought up and it was enough to roast him
It wasn’t even a roast, just talked to him and asked questions and that’s all you need to do to Adam.
He relies on his writers that just use selective evidence.
When I was 19 I got a speeding tick for driving 93 in a 70. It was out of state, and because of the speed I was going I needed to make an appearance in court. I was dumb and didn’t want to tell my parents, so I got a credit after 10 minute meeting with a banker and paid a lawyer to go to court for me. Poor ppl can get credit cards.
Its amazing the amount of things you learn trying to hide your failures from your parents. Shame is such a useful emotion. lol
@@wesleymatthews6356 fear is a great motivator
Matt S. Communists are allergic to hardship. In their minds, you’re supposed to just have a good life because other ppl do. It’s really sad how ppl can be so petty.
@@nathanielobinwaiii4139 what's funny is communism creates hardship
@@wesleymatthews6356 I never knew there were so many ways to hide your report card.
The thing I hated the most about Adam ruins everything is that they always had to bring on a so called expert or professor who agrees with their agent to further prove they point. Like just someone is a college professor or an so called expert doesn’t mean they right or know what their talking about. You know how many college professors are a know it all that always have to be right
Some of the dimmest things I've ever heard came from "experts" and professors.
Adam lost credibility with me when he made the claim that halitosis, bad breath, doesn't exist. If you ever worked in the food industry and you had to hold your breath when a customer ordered their food, you know beyond a shadow of a doubt that halitosis is definitely a thing.
He said the word was made up, not the thing itself. Do try to keep up
@@joescott4778 every word is made up I guess language is bullcrap
@@Data-ExpungededWell technically all languages are made up
@@joescott4778 yeah pretty much
@@joescott4778 all words are made up lol
The only thing Adam ruins is critical thinking
That's not exactly true. He ruins my appetite. 😂
Adam is weird as hell. I never watched his show, but saw him on Joe Rogan and have been turned off ever since.
Uncle Hobby I tried to sit through it one time and I literally couldn’t stand him and his.. Tendencies. He’s shit.
Welll....uhhhhh.....uhhhh.....I'm gonna...uhhhhhh..uh have to....uhhh..defer to.....uhhhh.....my friends...uhhh...uhh I need them to tell me what...uhhh...to say so that uhhhhh....I dont get cancelled since.....uhhhhhh im....uhhhhhh....just a scared ......uhhhhh straight white male......uhhhhh
@@zym6687 lol it was accurate until you deemed that effeminate psychopath straight.....
Rogan wasn't gonna let that slide. That was so painful and enjoyable at the same rime
The first season of his show was actually pretty straight, dealing with non-political issues like car sales and funerals. I imagine now this was purposeful to establish credibility so when he started tackling gun control and poverty viewers would be inclined to trust him as correct. Despicable.
There was a physician here on RUclips(forgetting his name) that did a response video to Adam and it was tantamount to him saying "What you're saying is technically correct but is deliberately being spun in a way to be fear-mongering and rage-bait and that isnt good for your viewers" and Adam went on a massive passive-aggressive hissyfit on Twitter afterwards.
It’s less fear mongering and more akin to shock therapy. Because let’s say it’s his hospital video if a hospital was charging us an outrageous fake price just to keep the insurance companies happy I’d rather know about it
WHAT?!? ADAM IS A LIAR THAT CHERRY PICKS HIS DATA?!? I am truely, utterly, and absolutely... Naw, makes sense.
Yep
I am baffled
What adam is really Doing in His Show is Trying to Get You as the Viewer To Do Your own research on the Topic
someone has to start the conversation on The Topic and Thats What Adam Does
Totally makes sense
Dude this youtube video has no evidence, he doesn't even show any real hard data or evidence, so by your logic he's just like adam! The guy says he has proof and evidence but i see none of it
Even Joe Rogan, a guy who tends to have really no opinion on anything excepting for say guns, weed, and martial arts, was calling on Adam’s bullshit! Joe rarely ever does that!
Not true. Joe definitely has strong opinions typically favoring far right ideologies and Joe is just good at debating he definitely really prove anything.
@@obi-wankenobi1545far right? The guys a Bernie bro
@@whatdadogdoin9818 He’s anti vaccine, conspiracy, bro gun rights etc. But yes he does have liberal views as well.
Joe Rogan has strong opinions.
He's anti-Trump, pro-drugs, pro-gun and anti-rightwing
@@obi-wankenobi1545 joe rogan far right. drones like you are the biggest clowns ever.
Yes, the show's whole premise relies on people who don't care to do the research and just watch after work. Heck, half the time I don't feel like fact checking.
Even if half of Adam’s facts were wrong that still means half of them were right or at least right enough to encourage someone to do their own research and see that we have many underlying problems we don’t often think about everyday
Adam: credit card companies won’t let you start a credit line in America
Discover: am I a joke to you?
I've had a "student CC" since I graduated HS in 2014 lol. I dont have any other CC's and I used that and my car loan to build my credit lol. I hate these arguments on the left.
@@bubblehead4270 Try having BAD credit THEN trying to get a CC.
@@Christobanistan there’s so much information at the tip of our fingers to help us not make bad financial decisions so that we can pull out a credit card. By no means do I not blame the older generation for not warning us about the dangers of predatory lending (looking at the colleges) and irresponsible CC usage, that sure as hell doesn’t help. But so many people can learn the basics to make sure they don’t start off with bad credit (assuming they aren’t learning it at home or at school). It’s not like someone put a gun to your head and told you to fuck your credit up lol, give me a break.
I got my 1st credit card a few days after I turned 19. I didn't even have a job at the time. I got a $500 visa. I still have that card today with a limit of $6500 that I capped.
@Hi Everybody if you have bad credit then you caused it. Everyone starts with neutral credit.
Let's not talk that inner city taxes are so high on necessities because dems need more money to help poor people who cant afford to buy stuff!....Yes!...that's right !..poor people....we need more of your money to help you!
Ding! Ding! Ding!!
As long as you keep those schools dumbed down, useful idiots eat up the empty promises they are preached, they’ll continue to vote for the Promises, because they aren’t making employment the top priority. Because well, free shit is never free, but that’s not comprehensive to the dumbed down masses of these shithole cities....

I hate Adam, besides his cherry picking of data, just the way he explains his “facts” is annoying.
He’s got such a punchable face. Now don’t take that to mean that I’d actually punch him. All I’m saying is his face has that sort of appearance that makes me *want* to punch him.
Adam is just about the prototype for that particular brand of smug condescension from someone of middling intelligence that the left seems to have in spades.
I assume Adam ruins everything is aimed at ignorant teens/young people who only have surface knowledge of most issues. I don’t consider myself an extremely responsible person but I was able to build my credit up from basically zero to 700 from age 19-21 on a low salary. It’s not that hard to build credit at all and anyone who has credit should know that.
Actually it’s very hard to build credit. The more often you check it the more likely it is to go down. And people with low income jobs need every penny they can save otherwise a surprise bill or expense they can’t pay for gets added onto their credit history which keeps their credit low. Part of what gets people better credit is being financially responsible. Which becomes harder to do when you’re so focused on not becoming homeless or starving you can’t pay for any other bills. One sure fire way to maintain good credit and improve your score is to pay off your bills on time which sounds easy enough but life has so many factors that people don’t account for every day it can be easier to slip up and fall further down than it is to pull yourself back up.
What Adam ruins everything does is teach people that there are far too many misconceptions in our day to day lives. There are myths and lies we’ve come to accept as truth and because of it nothing will change or improve because we’ve been stuck in our ways for too long and it’s becoming too late to really make that difference. Even if some of his facts are false or aren’t completely truthful that’s not the point of the show. He even admitted he got stuff wrong in an episode because his research staff is human and humans make mistakes all the time. The show is all about encouraging people to do their own research and pull back the veil on what we consider to be truth or reality. Because if we don’t we are doomed to make the same mistakes that were made decades prior. He might have gotten some information wrong from time to time but the point was to show that he was willing to do some digging aside from just listening to what’s been told to us throughout our lives
@@supanerdreviews4056 "The more often you check it the more likely it is to go down." funny how you talk about misconceptions when this might be the singhandedly the most well known myth about credit. Checking your credit score DOES NOT affect your credit negatively at all, in fact it's good to check your credit and can help maintain it if things were to go wrong. What is true is that HARD credit checks can lower your score, which you are not supposed to a lot, while SOFT credit checks (ones you do yourself) are completely fine.
@@supanerdreviews4056 Didn't quite reach that straw you were grasping for
@@adoe2305 it ain’t a straw dipshit. Not my problem you can’t understand a simple concept and it ain’t my job to sit here and explain it to uphold like you’re the slowest kid in kindergarten
As a non-American, I never took credit at my age of 21 and I had seen with my own eyes what happens when you take a credit and you're not being able to pay it. I heard that many Americans have to take credit to buy something, but in my country the majority are too poor to even think about it, and it's very easy way to go into debt pit.
This is what happens when you have been spoiled your whole life, never faced any difficulties or hardships and suddenly something goes not as you would like.
If by this you mean this guys whole “rebuttal” I totally agree
@@supanerdreviews4056 Can you explain how his points are wrong, then? Or are you just saying that Adam Ruins Everything Is right about how things are stacked against the poor in spite of his arguments for that position being bad arguments? (To clarify, I'm not *necessarily* disagreeing with you but I'm curious to read your reasoning)
@@adamdavis1648 there’s the initial thought that Adam is just pushing leftist nonsense. He just bashes the skit as “big dumb dumb conservative idiots”. He claims he isn’t operating off of instinct but he isn’t really doing much else but trying to push a conservative mindset. He continually mentions chart after chart after chart but we are still 8th which 8 out of 24 is not bad but that still means 7 countries are better than we are which is exactly what right wing conservative die hards tend to ignore. And he misrepresented the idea of the complications of obtaining a credit card. It is easier to ruin your score than it is to improve it in the sense you have more opportunity to mess up. Checking your score will lower it in some instances. Etc etc. this guys nothing more than another conservative nutcase who don’t want to admit anyone not in the right can make sense. If you disagree with conservatives you are a left wing liberal who shouldn’t be taken seriously. He claims $400 isn’t a lot of money. And that they just die. My own parents cannot always afford their own house payments for a $400 emergency. My parents recently borrowed almost $700 from me because they couldn’t pay a house payment and a fix of my dads car. If neither me or my siblings had that money they would not have been able to pay that emergency. He claims to do the research but he doesn’t truly understand anything about the stats presented. My parents HAD backup choices but they still didn’t pay me back. It’s been 4 months and they still can’t afford to pay me back. I’m considered middle class or lower middle if my TWO parents with FULL TIME JOBS cannot afford to pay me back $700 while I’m part time and a student then it should be proof enough that there’s a problem. There are a lot of people who aren’t that lucky who do not have a crutch to stand on. And he mentions these government programs designed to help people but as long as you can prove to be searching for a job you can earn unemployment benefits which often then not pay more per week than the job that will ultimately end up being able to hire you. Some people don’t know how to gain access to these programs or have any idea where to go. I don’t even know where the nearest homeless shelter is and I see like 5-10 or more homeless people on the street every day. Sure you can work really hard to give yourself a good life but you have to work extra hard to escape the hole you dug for yourself.
I know I’ve said it a couple times but I will say it again this mans entire stance is that right wing America is fine as it is. There’s no serious problem that we can’t fix with the system we have and that any opinions who differ from him are hard left wing liberal nonsense that’s designed to destroy America. But you don’t have to look hard to find a serious issue which he clearly did not do. Even if we are 8th why are there 7 countries with better economic mobility? If we have so many government programs that are so perfectly designed to help people escape poverty then why is it still a problem? If poor people are able to sustainably buy in bulk then why do they still struggle to eat from one day to the next? Just because we have some of these solutions does not mean they actually work the way they’re supposed to because if they did this issue wouldn’t be discussed right now. I mean we have sensitivity training so that less racist cops show up (I do still fully support the police) yet there are still instances where innocent non white people are wrongly imprisoned or killed (not all the time but it’s still prevalent enough) so clearly something isn’t working. See what I mean?
@X Man dude did you not read my entire comment completely dismantling everything this guy says? Almost in chronological order?
@@supanerdreviews4056 apparently not since it’s not in this thread. You sure sound smart.
Adam should just move to Pakistan and enjoy their "income mobility".
You mean which was under several military dictatorships supported, funded, and installed by Uncle Sam? Ah yes, that Pakistan.
@@muslimmetalman Good ole Obama.
@@muslimmetalman that doesn't refute the point. obviously pakistan should be free to live as it wants without uncle sam coming in and bombing them. nothing to do with the point made in the video.
The point of income mobility is that over time someone in low income jobs can move up the ladder to better support themselves and go from low class citizens to middle class and so on and so forth.
Here in America a full year of working in the service industry like McDonald’s or Starbucks is rewarded with at most a $0.50 raise. Or even no raise at all. Which people need to live more comfortable and stable lives. An entire year of putting up with assholes and unsatisfactory working conditions should have a higher reward than $0.50. With that kind of hourly raise I might as well spend it at a child’s lemonade stand they’ll be able to make better use of it than I could
I just can't stand the guy. Since seeing him on Joe rogan.
Adam ruins brain cells.
I've been waiting for more people to call this douche out.
Also, my grandmother went from glorified deep rural south Great Depression Child slave school (I don't know if she even made it to high school) dropout who wore flour sacks sewn together as dresses and fought for her parents' leftovers of the food she and her 8 siblings had a major part in even making exist among those 8 siblings, 7 of which were boys, to a real estate tycoon. She literally created the street I grew up on from wilderness, and that's after she mostly retired when the real estate market went belly up in the 1980's. She just wanted a place where we could live next door and I'd grow up with limitless forests to explore, including a fully stocked private lake with a nice little stream flowing all the way through my forests and its own rich ecosystem. Before that, she owned a significant portion of my home county, a huge ranch with show and sport horses, as well as cows and chickens, several stores, homes constantly being renovated and sold, and a small town she basically built.
That's rags to riches if I've ever seen it... And in my time with her, I experienced what it was like being an acclaimed prodigy doused in media attention, shaking hands with local politicians, and, most importantly, receiving constant tutelage and sharpening of my mind through her, though it seemed like we were just delving into my naturally geeky interests of biology, geology and anthropology at the time. Oh, and she basically bought off my private school so I won everything all of the time and received special attention in the classroom, making sure from preschool I got the best education.
Then, when she died, I experienced how wealth can evaporate with just one generation, as my mother and brother not only squandered their $100,000.00 in land, but, since I was only 13 when she died, they managed to manipulate me after years of grooming into signing off on them "borrowing" from my trust fund, buying from me only never to pay up and teaming up together to make sure I'd be on the streets if I did anything legally against them, then squandering my $100,000.00 too. Wealth isn't just "Your ancestor was rich, so you're rich!" It's earned. That's why I enrolled for premed biochemistry and worked my ass off with my sights on a M.D. despite basically being robbed because I was a naive kid. Then a life shattering disease dropped on my head and now I'm building several interweaving entrepreneurial endeavors I can helm from home, with a pretty solid plan to make it work, and donate a large portion to charity because 1.) the nature of the charity, animal rescue, has been a passion of mine since I first learned what kill shelters are like and 2.) Taxes ain't nothin' but hoes and tricks
Adam: It's financially impossible to raise a family in the US in 2019!
Also Adam: Hey, Guatemalan woman! You and your 14 kids, come on in! Extended family too! Don't have any skills and there's no man to provide income? Don't worry, Uncle Sam will take care of you!
He is quite possibly one of the most incompetent charlatans in the country or one of the dumbest animals who needs a babysitter to make sure he doesn't chew his own fingers off.
I will accept either.
ARE was somewhat good in the first season. Ever since S2, it's been a leftist brainwashing mechanism.
It’s just sad how transparent and easily debunked these points are. It’s more for people who are looking to reinforce their beliefs. Even if it’s wrong.
The Adam one or this one?
Your point-by-point rebuttal videos are your strongest material. Keep it up!
I got a credit card at 19, with no credit history. The limit was $650 at first.
That’s because when you become an adult you’re given the benefit of the doubt and start with fair or decent credit which banks use to get people to sign up for their credit cards
Adam the Con is for sure milking those American dollars. Obviously he didn't have to work hard to get ahead.

Yeah, funny how asshats like him don't mention how the hell they got all their money... by lying to Americans...
Try getting ANY assistance as a male. If you don't have a kid, you're screwed. If you aren't documented as "disabled", you're screwed.
This is similar to the idiotic buzzfeed “try to live without black inventions” video. Literally every “fact” is a partial truth or just outright wrong.
After he went on Joe Rogan, I don't know how he still has a show? When he was on Rogan, he clearly didn't know what the hell he was talking about on any of these issues. But you give him a script, and all of the sudden, he "Knows Everything", and is lecturing to everyone about how stupid they are for not knowing these woke specifics. He's like the Bill Nye of random woke subjects. He's no more an expert in this area, as Bill Nye is to science.
But low IQ liberals who participate in “feel good” politics and “woke culture” don’t care about any of that.
I had the exact same thought, how does Adam still have a show after Joe Rogan destroyed him in real time, without a script and more importantly with facts/studies.
Dolph Lundgren, the Russian from RockyIV, as well as The Expendables etc., is exponentially more of a scientist than Nye.
Because his fans insist that he destroyed Joe Rogan, and if you disagree with them then you're clearly a Nazi/fascist/islamaphobe/misogynist/racist/Russian asset/insert smear here.
No he isn’t he’s pointing out that we as people tend to just blindly accept the “truth” we’ve been given without a second thought which has led to this perpetual cycle of more problems and no one knowing how to fix them
After getting 2 flat tires, I guess that person just dies!!! Hahaha I just love this guy!
So he turned "income mobility" into "father/son income transfer"...in other words "Ranking Inheritance".
Also if Mothers or Women at all were on this list, then Pakistan wouldn't even be in the same galaxy as this list.
Also Inheritance is pretty low in the US if you live in states like California that have death taxes.
It's a blatant FACT that MOST millionaires, something like 70% earned it on their own. Through careful saving and *gasp* hard work...
Wealth inheritance exists, of course, but those kinds of people are the minority. The middle class seldom pass down any significant inheritance. Maybe the parents left the house to their children....but in some cases the banks come in and take the damn house to pay off debts left behind by the deceased.
"in a ranking of 24 countries we ranked 16th!" Sooooo 16 out of how many hundreds of countries that were excluded?
The 24 were most likely taken from more developed countries

I was born into a single mother house hold. My mother was encouraged by her mother to get on foodstamps, section 8 and my states child medical insurance. She did. She was of working age and ability all of my childhood. I got sick of this life so I ran away at 18 and got with a single mother. Had a kid with her within two years and dropped out of highschool. I lived off foodstamps and public hand outs. Until I married her, got my GED went to a trade school and graduated this last May. I'm on my own insurance now and make too much to be on foodstamps. And it's the best feeling I've ever had. Because I earned it. And if I can anyone can. So the tldr of it is FUCK YOU ADAM yes I can move up economiclly and did.

Who has 400$ in cash on them in person in today’s age? The only time that’d be preferable over a debit card with the same amount of money stored on it would be during a power outage and those don’t happen often or long enough to warrant more than maybe 50$ for a single food purchase since I would assume most power outages only last 12 hours at worst

In the late 90s in the soviet republic of canada, I was a 90s kid and the cat got sick. we took it to the vet and it needed a 1000$ treatment and my dad had to find some way to pay for it, we did and we treated the cat, but it ran away soon after and i never saw it again. but we survived 1000$ surprise expense in 90s money using canadian pesoes and recovered. adam is a commie and he/they supporting the unionites in the film actors guild and writers guild helped me see how he wasn't this paragon of knowledge they/them claim.
I love how adams so out of touch that he brings up credit cards for people living in poverty. If you're in poverty the last thing you should be doing is taking on debt.
You just described his argument. I don’t know if you actually *watched* the video but his entire argument as to why people in poverty can’t get credit cards is because the system is stacked against them.
@@supanerdreviews4056
1 yes i watched his video you muppet and no i'm not describing his argument, I'm pointing out its stupidity.
2 and try to get this through your thick skull, extending credit to people living in poverty is not a good thing. You look at any country you like, Australia, Germany, France, UK, Etc, etc. Wherever rules on lending were relaxed, particularly in terms of credit cards It was a disaster. restricting lines of credit to those who can demonstrate they can pay it back is not "stacking the deck" it is protecting consumers from things like predatory lending.
Household debt is the second highest indicator of a families ability to breakout of a cycle of intergenerational poverty. Those with little to no debt are more likely to break the cycle then those with more debt.
Trying to counter strawman sam's absolutely moronic advise to "just get a credit card" by saying that debt is hard to get is even dumber then the strawman put up. You have to be a completely out of touch buffoon to think tougher lending rules are a bad thing, which is what adam paints them as. Strict lending rules are an indication of a healthy society which looks out for the poor, the complete opposite of the point adam is trying to make.
In fact not only is it stupid, that is an extreme libertarian argument they want such restrictions lifted. They believe society would be better off if financial institutions could lend to whoever they want at any rate they can convince the consumer to sign on for. Adam literally switched to making right wing arguments in the middle of his anti american, anti capitalist video.
@chaotic neutral it actually hasn’t. There are still things being implemented to discourage homeless from sleeping in certain public places. And I’m not saying they can’t earn enough money I’m saying it’s much much harder. You can afford luxury items eventually with minimum wage jobs but some people who work those jobs have some money already to work with so it becomes easier to save since they need to save less. Meanwhile other people don’t which is the point I’m trying to make
love how when he shows america ranks 16th in upwards mobility he accidentally reveals why that is by showing pakistan is 2 ranks above america. every one in america is rich compared to places like pakistan so it makes sense that we would rank lower than them in upwards mobility since unlike pakistan our entire country is not at rock bottom. we actually have alot of millionaires, billionaires, and upper middle class people compared to any other countries. and as time goes on we continue seeing more and more of them. for example 20 years ago nobody knew who mark zuckaberg, elon musk, or jef bezos were yet now they are three of the richest people on the planet because they created a product in america that made them billions of dollars. and for reference that is exactly what the american dream is. its the dream that you have nothing and either invent something or start a business and end up becoming rich. and immigrants are starting new businesses way more than none immigrants which shows that atleast in that regard the american dream is alive and well. what we have to work on is replicating that for the none immigrants who have been left behind in terms of policy.
What exactly does Adam mean by “unable to save?” It’s really not that hard to open a savings account.
He’s mostly saying it’s harder for people in low paying jobs to keep a hold on their money let alone enough of it to put into a savings account and earn interest. They’re so focused on the daily necessities so they can continue to work and live in their homes. Most of their money goes towards basic necessities which leaves little to no wiggle room for unforeseen circumstances
Like when covid first hit and lockdown was initiated I was unofficially laid off from work. Since I was technically still employed there I couldn’t apply for unemployment benefits and could barely afford my rent without the help of my parents. Since I had no money coming in and most places shut down I was trapped in a dangerous situation until I could sublet my apartment and move home. You can’t really save when you’ve got nothing *to* save

What?
Do these people want you to think that in other countries life isn't difficult and competitive?
If you're poor in other countries you're likely just as miserable, because you'll be working a shit job.
No that point was trying to prove that in other countries people have an easier time moving through the classes at the very least becoming middle class citizens
Aren't bulk goods usually cheaper though?
It depends on where you shop and what products you buy. If you have to have name-brand stuff, Costco has good prices, but generic/store brand products are usually cheaper than even Costco prices. I first noticed this was the case while buying aluminum foil. Costco only had Reynolds brand and the per unit cost was more than the Walmart brand.
yes
Adam is such a know it all. He should go on some popular interview podcast without a script.. oh wait..
His show isn’t about him being right all the time
That’s a very good point about the authorized user. But not all cards report the same and different bureaus may not report it the same. Still a great tip!!
The thing with credit cards when you have no credit history you have a high interest rate. What you do, is don't Barrow a bunch of money from your creditors and pay off the principal every month.
I bet this Adam liar has never spent any time in a "poor" American neighborhood. I guarantee you that he doesn't know the actual reasons that they are "poor". The reasons have to do almost nothing with actual poverty and everything to do with terrible decision making ability.
What adam is really Doing in His Show is Trying to Get You as the Viewer To Do Your own research on the Topic

Durrrr poor people are just stupid durrrr
@@Swagroth Here is a simple question for you. Do you accept the theory of evolution by Charles Darwin et al?
My aunt took credit cards out on all her kids as they were babies, because it’s so hard to open a credit card account. And that the companies don’t send out spam mail to get suckers to get them. Ruined almost everyone of her kids lives. And as someone who’s poor and grew up poor, but with the mindset of just being broke, this shit was hard to watch. I’ll make my millions one day.
In regards to the Chart (Figure 1) referenced in 5:00, it was talking about intergenerational income. In other words, if your father is rich/earning more than average, so will you/the son later in life. In other words, the income you grow up with is largely going to stay the same, so rags-to-riches is much harder to come by in America. And yes, like any good study, it explores the limitations of the evidence but inference can still be drawn --Rags-to-Riches stories arent nearly as common in America as people think, and that was Adam's point. Such stories of overcoming one's poor beginnings into affluence are far more common in many other countries.
Except that's false and disputed in the study itself
@@wyssmaster Like I said, the study explores it's own limitations, however the main point Adam was making stands from the body of evidence the study presented.
Bruh what? The study itself agrees with Adam in its findings. "When compared to 24 middle-income and high-income countries, the U.S. ranks 16th in the amount of intergenerational earnings mobility." Also, the study acknowledges Figure 1's current irrelevance (in policy making), but the study still states that the US is 16th in inter-generational earnings mobility, because it factors in some more recent studies to come to this conclusion.
Directly quoting a study's conclusive findings isn't want qualifies as cherry-picking. An example of cherry picking would be when one doesn't read the whole study and interprets graphs out of context. This is what you're doing.
Also, why didn't you acknowledge his second source? It includes actual data while you only state your own personal experiences and your feelings.

@@snazztacular because cherry picking rightists will be cherry picking rightists
Adam stated facts and truths about misconceptions we’ve come to accept as the reality we live in meanwhile guys like this think it’s necessary to go on extended rants about how he’s wrong and expressing their insecurities because they’re “debunking” a 5 minute segment with a 20 minute or so video
Though more people can afford a $1000 phone (sometimes upgrading every year), a case, wireless headphones, apps and subscriptions for the phone, possible repair of glass from dropping it (although some don't fix the glass). This isn't poverty, but ignorance about money.
I'm legally blind, I've lived in poverty entire life also due to mother also being blind. When I moved out I got a job and my husband got a job and we got out of poverty. Now I'm planning on starting a small business and wanting to move to the middle class or higher. It's possible with hard work.
He never said it’s impossible he’s saying it doesn’t happen that often because it becomes harder without help. You and your husband worked hard together and had more of a cushion to fall back on. Someone trying to do this by themselves has a much harder time trying to secure basic necessities and most of the middle class Americans think that everyone can do this with hard work when they’re pushing back against the system itself
A perfect way to turn people away from your propaganda is to be as condescending and smug as humanly possible........

Dave Ramsey says you don’t even need to build credit because it starts the habit of buying things with money you don’t have.
That's nice I disagree, need access to capital for my channel stuff
Actual Justice Warrior ah! You respond fast. You’re one of my fave channels. Why don’t you have Instagram?
I don't like it
Alexis, use credit, don't let credit use you. Like Sean says, access to credit can be a huge benefit. Don't use it to buy things with money you don't have, only use it when you have the money to pay off the balance.
dave ramsey is a capitalist pig
It's true about credit cards and credit! I've been financially responsible all my life never needed a credit card but now the government has created the financial slavery called the "credit report" I have a thin credit report, so I can't get a credit card! I need credit in order to get credit and I can't get credit cuz I don't have credit!
Google the name of a credit care company with the phrase preapproval & trust me you'll find something
You can buy a credit card. It's called a secured credit card. You basically give them 500$ for 500$ of credit. Anyone can get this, then use the card and always pay it off so you don't get fees. That will build your credit ALOT.
@@psychologybear6846 seriously this. Forget banks. Credit unions do this alot and you can build alot of credit in less than a year with a credit union.
@@ActualJusticeWarrior
I'll try all the tips and if they fail I'll blame you! He he! 😀
If you couldn't figure out how to get a secured credit card, you probably shouldn't get a credit card.

@@TNTom67890 people already in the middle class shouldn’t buy so much in bulk because it’s waste of unnecessary excess. Low income people would benefit from buying in bulk because it means they can go longer periods without having to constantly worry about necessities
I think our society has made it normal to borrow money and go into debt for instant gratification or non-essential things. Learning to save money is a skill that anyone can learn but not everyone applies
I'm so glad someone is sticking it to this tool and his awful show. Great work.
As another commenter below said, "Adam Ruins Himself...on Joe Rogan." Lol
I had applied for multiple retail cards and got declined which killed my score. The only place to give me credit of any kind was the julery store we bought my wife's wedding rings from.
So you’re living proof that it’s way harder to boost credit than it is to lose it
It's genuinely amazing to see people pridefuly denounce pride in their country and own people. Self depreciation as virtue is insanity.
It’s because there’s nothing about America to be proud of. There are plenty of issues if you went looking outside the White House but nobody who claims to be proud in this country wants to actually talk about them let alone do anything about it
@@supanerdreviews4056 nothing about America to be proud of? Let's see, the first genuine nation comprised of literally every ethnicity and nationality in the world. The light bulb, the airplane certainly helped. Then the creation of the automobile, the camera, movie film, the television, the computer, the internet, space travel advancement, cellphones, video games, social media, literally so much of the US has been adopted and integrated by nearly every nation at this point that yes I can genuinely see your morons like you take it all for granted.
@@treborkroy5280 you claim we are comprised of every ethnicity but do you fully understand how we haven’t quite made that into as good a thing as it could be right? Some people still hate blacks. Because of trump people hate Asians specifically Chinese. We’ve become a global meme because of him. A lot of Americans believe all Muslims are terrorists simply because they pray in a language we don’t understand. We are so predominantly Christian that other Christians besmirch any other religion that isn’t theirs because apparently they’re just wrong. Also are you trying to tell me you actually go around your house being proud of a lightbulb for the fact it exists and started existing here? Because that’s really weird and part of the exact ultra murican mindset I’m talking about. We just needlessly take credit for things like this to bolster our ungodly ego
The automobile is killing the planet due to over use and the insane population of the planet. Cameras are being used for recording either dumb shit on tik tok or to record police interactions because a few too many cops turned out to be racist and manipulative. The only reason we bothered with space travel is because the Russians were also trying to further their space travel and we said no I wanna do it first.
Just because a lot of what we did was adopted by other nations doesn’t mean you should be overly proud of it. You personally didn’t do anything to further the development of other countries. And in fact China became the leading export and manufacturer of electric cars to fix its own pollution problem.
Minority groups constantly fight for equal rights and representation in modern American society but most of these groups such as black people or women have only recently gotten better rights and they’re STILL not represented as equally as they should. And in fact they’re still partially negatively represented by decades old beliefs we haven’t fully let go. Even in the lgbt people use religion to suppress them and nobody cares about these issues unless somebody else forces them to acknowledge they exist.
But yeah I guess I’m the moron for thinking of minority groups being discriminated against instead of remembering the light bulb

Look it up on RUclips it’s all right there you halfwitted child. The problems of this country are all RIGHT THERE all you gotta do is actually try to look for it. We may not be the worst in women’s rights but we surely aren’t the best. I mean there are 7 states where a rapist can claim parental rights over their kid if the victim has one. In North Carolina if a woman withdraws consent after sex had begun its not considered rape if the man continues. Do you not know what’s going on in this country? The four or so cops who crushed a black dudes neck until he died. The 4 years of threats to build a wall to Mexico which turned out to be hot air out of his ass despite the fact many people were behind that idea. Travel bans for Muslims. Protests against the lgbt. Not to mention the US is ranked 32nd in racial equality. There’s literally 31 countries who have better racial equality than we do. And in terms of gender equality we are behind India and China. So there are countries that are actually better than us
Your analogy about tires is absolutely perfect I blew a tire on the highway the other day and I'm gonna have to spend about $470 to get all 4 tires done and right now I'm flat broke. But the good thing is, my parents are kind enough to front the money for me and then I will be paying them back. Also, I'm 31 year's old so it's not like I'm some young kid or anything
No but that’s in a way a bit more sad considering you’re literally proving the point that a $400 emergency could ruin someone since you literally cannot afford it without help which is Adam’s whole point
@@supanerdreviews4056 Actually according to the Cato Institute one of the question is that can they afford it in a month and 85 percent can afford it which of course the other 15 percent is sad but also some of it stems from poor spending habits and the government raise the cost of living by tariffs or regulations.
