The doll price was increased 33%, I don't think Joes salary was raised 33%.
Guess the idea here is that everyone else in the supply chains were getting raises, too, without an increase in productivity. (And as noted, labor can only increase its productivity with technological innovation.)
Manufacturers raise prices to keep profits high, but sure, it's the fault of labor
and that's why automation in factory allow cheaper good as lowering labor cost... nowadays, high price inflation and raise in profit is due transportation costs, especially people nowadays like to have premium product from exotics places..
Competition doesn't let that happen. But yeah government doesn't help the little business.
@@DaleonM4 Government is busy with destroying the little business with regulations and taxes
@@YangChuan2001o is big business, by making sure people buy their products before they buy the little business products
"With increased productivity wages can keep ahead of prices"
*Ron Howard voice* They didn't
nope, in 1994 the cost of a brand new F350 Dually XLT cost 30K on the nose, now its like 60k, price doubled and pay didnt.
@@thelasthallowmight should consider consumers willingness to finance the purchase and what that means for the price someone is willing to pay during the period mentioned
now we get paid $0 to make the doll and are expected to pay $20 for a chinese made doll. figure that one out.
sad part is the paper it comes wrapped in comes from usa
Darrell Winstead
and that's ironic since paper was supposedly invented in china
yes it is but china is our biggest purchaser of our trash which they recycle for the paper and also there is a military unit whose only job is sorting through our trash for intel due to the fact we publish so much thanks to freedom of info act
OBAMANOMICS
@@darrellwinstead5560 And they pee on every one.
Dude I WISH a brand new car was only $1400 today.
That worker couldn't afford that car either. That amount of money was probably as unreachable as today (or maybe just a little less) considering inflation and such
Keynesians: “Am I a joke to you”
Yes, Mises economics is the only way forward.
But... Productivity is finite. Sooner or later productivity will cap out and inflation has no upper limit so it'll keep going. A solution would be innovation and the creation of new industries
That's what these folks think too. They think the american system is the best to channel investment into research and innovation to meet competition. Not because americans are smarter, but because the system of investment and shared risk and benefit is better.
The true source of economic growth is technological improvement, to increase the level of goods/services that can be provided by labor.
My bad! He says "kid" in the cartoon, not "son".
Profit sharing, performance related pay bonus, marginal revenue productivity and enhancements, a rise in wages can lead to a rise in inflation but if we export more and import more this won't be the case.🍻🥂
What's he so upset about... he works at the factory... he could just take one home from there.
You’re not allowed to steal
fuck that factory. i say dismantle that oppressive establishment board by board.
@@bentleykennedy-stone673 yachts are a human right!
@@brydakainma technically they can just make some dolls for themselves to take home and just pay for the materials.
That’s theft
LOL!!
Yeah, that has already been corrected by me!
But if it's his son, giving him a doll as a gift would be quite remarkable since boys usually don't play with dolls. Girls do. So, buying a girl's toy for a boy makes it feministic.
But it doesn't matter, since it's just "the kid".
Buying a doll for a boy isn't a feminist action, it's simply not an anti-feminist action. There is no particularly feminist reason to buy a boy a doll - rather, the reason a person might NOT buy their son a doll would be that they hold antiquated views about gender. (Or their son just isn't into dolls - in that case you shouldn't get him one either.)
@@bentleykennedy-stone673 Huh? The only reason TO buy a doll for a typical boy, would be for feminist reasons. I grew up during that era. Boys take their dolls and turn them into guns. Example: Toy Story's Sid. The studies have proven what society already knew for thousands of years. Men and women are Born Different. It's not societal pressures that make boys like things that use big muscles. It's mother nature
Worker:
_"Hey Boss, I just came up with an easy way to multiply our productivity!"_
[proceeds to explain his invention]
Boss:
_"Splendid! I'll get a patent for that idea and undercut my rival's prices whilst being able to lay off a third of my workers at the same time. Thanks, worker. As a reward for making me millions of dollars and reducing the labor pool, I'll give you a raise. You'll still have to produce twice as much as before in the same amount of time, but at least you won't get fired. Isn't capitalism great?"_
What were people doing before capitalism and what’s the next stage? Love to complain should be your username 😂
Edit: I assumed when I shouldn’t have.
@@UnknownName5050
Did I utter a single negative viewpoint on capitalism? Certainly not. In feudalism, the lord would give the peasant a pat on the back and proceed to exploit his labor as before - only more efficiently.
In socialism, the worker would get a badge and a useless honorific. Afterwards, he'd be expected to produce twice as much in the same time , but without a raise.
Out of the three systems, capitalism is still the best choice for inventative workers. But they must act smart about it. Going to your boss with a new invention isn't a good idea. Patent that stuff, then go to your boss and make him a license deal. Then proceed to spread the new invention to anyone willing to buy a license from you. Bam, fast-track millionaire.
@@epaminon6196 I fixed my comment. Sorry for assuming, my mistake. Thanks for educating me!
@@UnknownName5050
Thanks. That was very polite of you.
that isn't capitalism, that's greed.
They can but they won't, people want more and more money for their product's because they know people will pay up.
These guys partly explained cartels in an earlier movie. They believe that in a functional market the consumer will punish would-be cartels and do their best to find alternatives. And if that doesn't work, the state must put sanctions against cartels and price-fixing.
It didn't say he had a son. He referred to the person in question as "the kid," so it could be a girl. Besides, what does THAT have to do with fenimism? XD
Wuy
Now most of the jobs going into making a car are automated... yet they're far more expensive, even factoring in inflation. Greed makes the world go 'round.
Dead Baron pretty sure cars today aren't even close to comparable to cars just 30 years ago... They're more expensive for a reason. I realize why. I'll let you figure it out for yourself though... It's really not that complicated a solution.
Propitiatory
I honestly believe that this was a opportunity filled golden era to live in. I think if I had a time machine I'd just go back to here. Also going back this far probably wouldn't kill everyone I came into contact with due to me being a walking biohazard from modern vaccinations.
Meh, it sure as hell wasn't a golden era for most people, and I'm not even talking about pre-Civil Rights black people barred from the better-paying jobs, higher education and the voting booth, traumatized soldiers or women who'd been booted out of the well-paid workforce and back into the home. There was still much bitter poverty then, little in the way of social safety (but then again, the same can be said for now) and less knowledge about things such as food safety and mental health. This movie is propaganda, of course, in the same way a Soviet cartoon explaining the wonders of collective farming would be.
The reason employees got a sweeter deal than they got nowadays is because the unions were stronger then, and there was a labor shortage which meant workers had more bargaining power. Taxes were higher for big businesses, too. That's about it. America already has the labor shortage down, now those other two things and you could bring back a semblance of the "golden times of the 50's", although with less bigotry and Red Scare censorship this time
All of this is wrong
Y vengo del video de Dross sobre que hay un video del racismo
I AND l
Sad so much CO2 released.
One thing which seems kind of un-american about this movie is that the worker decides to buy a DOLL to his SON for the latter's birthday. (What a feminist!).
Or, the kid just wanted a different toy to play with that wasn’t the stereotypical boy stuff for once.
-Doll-
*ACTION FIGURE*
This is called capitalist propaganda. Not any better then communist or fascist propaganda.
But its real, it works, and you're just an ungrateful, ignorant, communist who has no place in the modern era. Go back to 1960 where 60 million people starved to death to enjoy your communist utopia.
yeah , i'm not a pro-american , but the american way of life is very good
