      My mom made the modern equivalent of $171,000 in the mid 70s doing the exact job that pays $58,000 on average today, with a bachelor’s degree and 1-year internship. She made the modern equivalent of $101,000 $184,000 in the mid 80s doing jobs that pay $56,000 and $71,000 now. Plus her energy, housing, education, and medical expenses were 1/4 as much, compared to all goods and services, while food basically kept up with inflation. Those are all either very basic needs or they are essentially human capital investments (no education, no job).

    I'm a boardgame publisher that has had to outsource to China in the past, and this issue continues to weigh heavily on me. Just this month I reached out to at least 10 different printers in my state, many with industrial-grade off-set CMYK printing capabilities. Absolutely not a single one would consider making my company's latest boardgame. I asked why, and the excuses were startling--most didn't know how, or were more comfortable sticking with easier printing projects, like flyers or mailers. Ten printers...and I could not even get a single quote!

    I love this debate. I'm impressed with both of them. I wish they were like this individually. Both of you, be this way when you are by yourselves talking into the camera. When alone Ben will come up with some really crazy ideas, and Ana, when alone is usually way to theatrical and vapid.
    They are both awesome in this debate. There are areas where Ben is very knowledgeable and logical and Ana makes some great points. I don't think Ben understands the 1980 standard of living. Yes, individual items cost more in real wages, but you didn't buy as much so you still had money left over. How much do people have once they are done buying the essentials was way more in 1980 than it is now and I don't think been understands that. Ana's point about quality from the 1950's is spot on and I think that blew right by Ben. I think Ana is trying to walk a tightrope between wanting quality products made in the USA and not alluding to the fact that frivolous unionization is a definite blocker for that. She needs to let go of the idea that unions are going to solve anything in general. They can't. Yes, in certain companies and maybe even industries, unions can play a valuable role, but for the most part, they are just another layer of bureaucracy that negates the individual worker and slows everything down. Ana also has not come to terms with the fact that china has to be told to stay in it's corner. It has to be made to feel very uncomfortable thinking about taking anymore ground from anyone else. That's essential. How do you do that in a nice way. I wish I knew, maybe she has some insight on that.
    Ben is saying that what has to be done in the future is hard and is not going to be exactly the way we want it to be and Ana wants to have her cake and eat it too, which I understand, we all do, however, economics doesn't work that way, we can't force an economy all we can do is guide it. The moment she said she would go the tariff rout, I had to shake my head, that is a criticism I had about Trump and she's right there with him trying to artificially punish the ones who can produce what people want for the price they want.
    I would say that, in this debate, I identify the most I ever have with Ana. I am a minimalist, I do not put value in things, I try to do what is the most compassionate for the other person and we need to be able to cover the essentials with less income than it takes now. The average person should be able to support a family on one wage. Unions aren't going to do that and division of labor may have made that impossible. Ben is a hardliner, probably more of a realist and is willing to go through the pain to get to the goal which is disentangling with China to the extent we can.

    Despite the comment section mostly taking sides, this particular conversation was good, beneficial. It seems like where they were in agreement they put aside ego and politics to explore commonalities in their understandings of the world as it is. Perhaps the mechanisms to achieve their shared outcomes differ but the important, and often lost point, is that the goal in this case was ultimately agreed upon. Nice to see these two playing together instead of lobbing grenades at one another.

      @@jimmy11112 it was a transition. You are missing the point that I made.
      Japan was enabled to become an economic super power by being able to focus all of the manufacturing capability on cars and electronics. Part of the treaty that Japan signed stated that the US would be the military protector of Japan. It had significant capability in manufacturing for war, which meant that post-WWII, Japan had significant capability in manufacturing for consumer goods. Cars were mass produced and the energy crisis of the US meant that people were looking for cars that had better gas mileage than the big sedans of the 50s and 60s. US auto makers were far too slow to adjust. Japanese automakers filled the void. US automakers tried to keep up by making vehicles with less labor cost by outsourcing labor to Mexico. These are the things that resulted in the manufacturing cities of the US going into steep decline.

HE's actually arguing on the side of the corporations, to allow them to keep making more and more profit, rather than trying to get them to up the quality, and thus save consumers in the long run.

    I have so much to say about this. Shapiro brought up American car companies and I can tell you they were incredibly mismanaged through the 1960s and 70s. Part of the uncompetitiveness was due to an onerous social contract between big business, big labor and big government. But management completely misread the competitive marketplace. They were socializing in country clubs and in three martini lunches in downtown high end lunch restaurants.

      No one mentioned the labor surplus that was driven primarily by the coming of age of the baby boom generation and women’s movement that led to a rapid rise of women in the paid workforce. This initially created a labor surplus for much of the next four decades. Combine that with outsourcing to much cheaper countries, along with automation (that has always happened) and it leads to a relative stagnation of wages even as worker productivity soared. .

    • @scottsnyder2726
      @scottsnyder2726 Год назад

      Finally, as the baby boom generation ages out of the workforce and there is some onshoring primarily driven by geopolitical uncertainty, expect the US to be in a relative labor shortage for quite some time. Some argue that AI will make humans obsolete, but I just don’t buy it. Innovation and automation has always existed in the US. In 1820, over 80% of the workforce worked in agriculture. Today it’s less than 2%. And we sure are not an underfed country. And I for one am very glad I don’t dig in the dirt for a living.

      @@scottsnyder2726​ The labor surplus is THE MOST important thing to mention when you talk about wage stagnation in the US…Prior to the 70’s, the United States had incredible economic growth that went on for over 100 years. In that growth, they had a labor shortage. Wages were high and jobs were plentiful. In fact, it’s the very reason why the US boasts about immigrants and achieving the “American dream”. It’s why so many immigrated in the early 20th century. However, after years of growth, stagnation loomed. Capitalists realized it would be cheaper to outsource, automatize, and hire foreign labor. Millions of Americans were laid off, and were offered much lesser jobs with less pay and no benefits. This, combined with the undoing of The New Deal of the 1930’s really set the tone for low wages in America today…

    Ben and others love to say how the standard of living and what not is better now than the 80s but conveniently forget the cost of housing. That is the most important and only issue! It doesn't matter that TVs are cheaper or smartphones exist if most people can't afford a home to have them in. Yeah I can buy a flat screen TV for $300 but why does that matter if rent is $1200? Or if a house costs $300,000? It's insane that they ignore it and it's insane that we created a system where houses are treated as investments rather than something people need. My parents bought their 2.5 acres and a farmhouse for $15,000 in 1976. They built a new 2200 sq ft house in 1989 for $70,000. Now they could sell it all for $250,000, and we're in rural Indiana so that's not even the extreme cases! You plug those number into the inflation calculator and they more than doubled their "investment" vs inflation. Housing prices is the key problem of many of our country's issues.
