it's important we need to know how to
fix<00:00:18.320> it<00:00:18.800> but<00:00:18.960> also<00:00:19.119> i<00:00:19.199> think<00:00:19.279> it's<00:00:19.359> a<00:00:19.439> good
introduce people with some ideas that
they<00:00:24.640> can<00:00:24.720> use<00:00:24.960> to<00:00:25.039> help<00:00:25.439> understand<00:00:26.240> and
evaluate what's happening in the economy
and<00:00:27.840> also<00:00:28.080> talk<00:00:28.240> a<00:00:28.320> little<00:00:28.480> bit<00:00:28.640> about
the way the media oversimplifies these
ideas<00:00:31.760> in<00:00:31.840> a<00:00:31.920> way<00:00:32.079> which<00:00:32.239> is<00:00:32.399> often<00:00:32.800> unhelpful
of people in many cases
will<00:00:42.640> not<00:00:42.800> be<00:00:42.879> able<00:00:43.040> to<00:00:43.120> heat<00:00:43.280> their<00:00:43.440> homes<00:00:43.760> in
um and the number one thing which
affects<00:01:01.760> how<00:01:01.920> much<00:01:02.079> energy<00:01:02.399> you<00:01:02.480> use<00:01:02.719> is<00:01:02.879> how
very rich people they use a lot of
energy<00:01:07.439> you<00:01:07.520> know<00:01:07.680> if<00:01:07.760> you<00:01:07.840> think<00:01:08.479> of<00:01:08.720> like
super super rich people they literally
fly<00:01:10.400> around<00:01:10.640> in<00:01:10.720> private<00:01:11.040> jets<00:01:11.280> you<00:01:11.360> know<00:01:11.520> this
you know this unbelievably high energy
consumption<00:01:16.400> uh<00:01:16.640> but<00:01:16.799> they'll<00:01:17.040> have<00:01:17.119> very<00:01:17.280> big
houses which they'll tend to
heat<00:01:19.360> in<00:01:19.520> the<00:01:19.600> winter<00:01:20.000> and<00:01:20.320> cool<00:01:20.640> in<00:01:20.720> the
heat in the winter and cool in the
summer<00:01:21.200> and<00:01:21.280> then<00:01:21.520> they'll<00:01:21.680> have<00:01:21.840> they<00:01:22.000> maybe
summer and then they'll have they maybe
will<00:01:22.400> own<00:01:22.560> a<00:01:22.560> lot<00:01:22.720> of<00:01:22.799> cars<00:01:23.119> and<00:01:23.200> they'll<00:01:23.360> use
will own a lot of cars and they'll use
private<00:01:23.840> cars<00:01:24.080> and<00:01:24.240> they'll<00:01:24.320> drive<00:01:24.560> them<00:01:24.720> a
and loads of ways in which very wealthy
people<00:01:29.600> use<00:01:29.759> a<00:01:29.759> lot<00:01:29.920> of<00:01:30.000> energy<00:01:30.320> right
people use a lot of energy right
that's<00:01:31.759> number<00:01:32.000> one<00:01:32.240> point<00:01:32.400> to<00:01:32.560> make<00:01:33.119> number
separate sort of theories bouncing
around<00:01:40.560> about<00:01:40.720> what<00:01:40.799> the<00:01:40.880> cause<00:01:41.119> of<00:01:41.200> the
inflation is um
and<00:01:43.520> this<00:01:43.680> is<00:01:43.759> with<00:01:43.920> regards<00:01:44.240> to<00:01:44.320> both<00:01:44.560> energy
and this is with regards to both energy
and<00:01:45.200> inflation<00:01:45.680> in<00:01:45.759> general<00:01:46.399> so<00:01:46.560> people<00:01:46.799> watch
and inflation in general so people watch
the<00:01:47.119> channel<00:01:47.439> a<00:01:47.600> lot<00:01:47.759> will<00:01:48.000> know<00:01:48.240> that<00:01:48.799> i've
beginning of the channel essentially the
very<00:01:53.520> first<00:01:53.680> video<00:01:54.159> on<00:01:54.240> the<00:01:54.320> channel<00:01:54.640> was<00:01:54.799> like
very first video on the channel was like
we're<00:01:55.439> printing<00:01:55.680> a<00:01:55.680> lot<00:01:55.840> of<00:01:55.920> money<00:01:56.240> it's<00:01:56.320> going
we're printing a lot of money it's going
to<00:01:56.719> the<00:01:56.799> rich<00:01:57.200> after<00:01:57.439> code<00:01:57.680> but<00:01:57.759> it's<00:01:57.840> going<00:01:57.920> to
to the rich after code but it's going to
cause<00:01:58.240> inflation<00:01:59.200> and<00:01:59.360> i<00:01:59.680> think<00:01:59.840> this<00:02:00.079> is<00:02:00.560> a
cause inflation and i think this is a
big<00:02:00.960> part<00:02:01.200> of<00:02:01.280> the<00:02:01.360> cause<00:02:01.600> of<00:02:01.759> all<00:02:01.840> the
narrative in the mainstream media which
is<00:02:06.640> that<00:02:06.799> the<00:02:06.880> inflation<00:02:08.080> uh<00:02:08.479> in<00:02:08.640> general<00:02:09.039> but
energy it's caused specifically by the
war<00:02:17.520> in<00:02:17.599> ukraine<00:02:18.000> right<00:02:18.319> the<00:02:18.480> war<00:02:18.640> in<00:02:18.720> ukraine
war in ukraine right the war in ukraine
is<00:02:19.120> causing<00:02:19.440> that<00:02:19.599> inflation<00:02:20.080> and<00:02:20.239> um<00:02:20.720> yeah<00:02:20.959> i
is causing that inflation and um yeah i
think<00:02:21.200> it's<00:02:22.000> really<00:02:22.239> if<00:02:22.319> you<00:02:22.400> think<00:02:22.480> about<00:02:22.720> it
think it's really if you think about it
obvious<00:02:23.280> like<00:02:24.000> as<00:02:24.160> a<00:02:24.239> whole<00:02:24.480> it<00:02:24.560> should<00:02:24.720> be
obvious like as a whole it should be
obvious<00:02:25.200> that<00:02:25.440> that<00:02:25.599> is<00:02:25.680> not<00:02:25.840> the<00:02:25.920> sole<00:02:26.160> cause
massively prices going through the roof
that's<00:02:34.160> obviously<00:02:34.560> not<00:02:34.720> to<00:02:34.800> do<00:02:34.959> with<00:02:35.040> the<00:02:35.120> war
that's obviously not to do with the war
in<00:02:35.440> ukraine<00:02:36.000> but<00:02:36.239> if<00:02:36.400> you<00:02:36.480> talk<00:02:36.720> specifically
you know russia not releasing gas
reserves<00:02:40.959> to<00:02:41.120> europe<00:02:41.519> is<00:02:41.680> probably<00:02:41.840> a<00:02:41.920> big
reserves to europe is probably a big
part<00:02:42.239> of<00:02:42.400> it<00:02:42.480> right<00:02:42.640> so<00:02:42.720> there's<00:02:42.879> two<00:02:43.040> things
part of it right so there's two things
going<00:02:43.440> on<00:02:43.440> at<00:02:43.519> the<00:02:43.599> same<00:02:43.840> time<00:02:44.239> which<00:02:44.480> is
going on at the same time which is
number<00:02:44.879> one<00:02:45.599> the<00:02:45.760> rich<00:02:46.400> were<00:02:46.560> given<00:02:47.120> an
absolutely ton of money during covid
and<00:02:50.480> the<00:02:50.640> obvious<00:02:50.879> consequence<00:02:51.280> of<00:02:51.360> that<00:02:51.519> is
inflation but number two in some
specific<00:02:53.760> markets<00:02:54.160> and<00:02:54.319> energy<00:02:54.640> is<00:02:54.959> the<00:02:55.040> most
specific markets and energy is the most
obvious<00:02:55.680> one<00:02:55.840> of<00:02:55.920> those<00:02:56.400> there<00:02:56.640> are<00:02:56.720> supply
obvious one of those there are supply
side<00:02:57.360> issues<00:02:57.680> where<00:02:58.000> for<00:02:58.159> example<00:02:58.480> russia<00:02:58.800> is
side issues where for example russia is
not<00:02:59.280> selling<00:02:59.519> the<00:02:59.680> energy<00:02:59.920> and<00:03:00.000> that's<00:03:00.159> making
not selling the energy and that's making
energy<00:03:00.640> more<00:03:00.800> expensive<00:03:01.519> so<00:03:01.680> two<00:03:01.840> things<00:03:02.000> are
energy more expensive so two things are
happening<00:03:02.319> at<00:03:02.400> once<00:03:02.720> right<00:03:02.879> which<00:03:03.120> is<00:03:03.840> the
happening at once right which is the
rich<00:03:04.159> are<00:03:04.560> way<00:03:04.720> richer<00:03:05.120> so<00:03:05.280> they<00:03:05.360> can<00:03:05.519> pay<00:03:05.680> more
energy in particular the supply the
amount<00:03:10.480> of<00:03:10.640> energy<00:03:10.959> that<00:03:11.040> we<00:03:11.280> actually<00:03:11.440> have
a lot of energy right
and<00:03:23.120> then<00:03:23.519> we<00:03:23.680> have<00:03:23.840> a<00:03:23.920> situation<00:03:24.480> where<00:03:24.720> the
and then we have a situation where the
rich<00:03:25.040> have<00:03:25.200> a<00:03:25.280> ton<00:03:25.519> of<00:03:25.599> money<00:03:26.319> and<00:03:26.400> the<00:03:26.560> country
rich have a ton of money and the country
as<00:03:27.040> a<00:03:27.200> whole<00:03:27.440> has<00:03:27.599> not<00:03:27.760> much<00:03:28.000> energy<00:03:28.400> right<00:03:28.959> so
as a whole has not much energy right so
if<00:03:30.480> you<00:03:30.720> know<00:03:31.040> that<00:03:31.200> there's<00:03:31.360> going<00:03:31.440> to<00:03:31.519> be<00:03:31.599> an
talking about the uk
what<00:03:37.760> would<00:03:37.920> be<00:03:38.080> the<00:03:38.159> ideal<00:03:38.480> way<00:03:38.640> to<00:03:38.799> fix<00:03:39.040> it
what would be the ideal way to fix it
the<00:03:39.440> ideal<00:03:39.760> solution<00:03:40.480> well<00:03:40.959> you<00:03:41.040> know<00:03:41.280> most
the ideal solution well you know most
people<00:03:42.159> don't<00:03:42.400> use<00:03:42.560> like<00:03:42.799> much<00:03:43.040> more<00:03:43.280> energy
people don't use like much more energy
than<00:03:43.680> they<00:03:43.840> need<00:03:44.159> right<00:03:44.400> you<00:03:44.560> know<00:03:45.040> maybe<00:03:45.280> they
than they need right you know maybe they
need<00:03:45.519> to<00:03:45.599> drive<00:03:45.760> to<00:03:45.920> work<00:03:46.159> you<00:03:46.239> know<00:03:46.480> but<00:03:46.720> most
need to drive to work you know but most
obviously<00:03:47.280> they<00:03:47.360> need<00:03:47.519> to<00:03:47.599> heat<00:03:47.760> their<00:03:47.920> homes
obviously they need to heat their homes
you<00:03:48.400> know<00:03:48.959> and<00:03:49.599> most<00:03:49.840> people<00:03:50.080> don't<00:03:50.239> use<00:03:50.400> that
you know and most people don't use that
much<00:03:50.720> more<00:03:50.879> energy<00:03:51.200> than<00:03:51.519> that<00:03:51.760> you<00:03:51.840> know
especially poorer people they'll be like
very<00:03:54.319> you<00:03:54.400> know<00:03:54.560> i<00:03:54.959> know<00:03:55.120> growing<00:03:55.439> up<00:03:55.599> my<00:03:55.840> dad
very you know i know growing up my dad
was<00:03:56.239> really<00:03:56.400> on<00:03:56.560> it<00:03:56.640> like<00:03:56.799> he<00:03:56.959> doesn't<00:03:57.120> want<00:03:57.200> to
any extra energy right because he's
trying<00:03:59.599> to<00:03:59.680> save<00:03:59.920> money<00:04:00.159> right<00:04:00.560> so<00:04:00.720> most
trying to save money right so most
people<00:04:01.200> are<00:04:01.280> just<00:04:01.439> using<00:04:01.599> the<00:04:01.680> energy<00:04:01.920> they
people are just using the energy they
need<00:04:02.400> maybe<00:04:02.640> like<00:04:02.799> a<00:04:02.879> little<00:04:03.040> bit<00:04:03.200> extra<00:04:03.439> in
need maybe like a little bit extra in
some<00:04:03.680> cases<00:04:04.080> right<00:04:04.480> and<00:04:04.560> then<00:04:04.720> the<00:04:04.959> rich<00:04:05.360> are
literally flying around in private jets
right<00:04:07.680> so<00:04:07.840> if<00:04:07.920> you're<00:04:08.000> in<00:04:08.080> a<00:04:08.159> situation<00:04:08.720> where
you don't have enough energy what do you
want<00:04:12.720> what's<00:04:13.040> what<00:04:13.200> should<00:04:13.360> you<00:04:13.519> do<00:04:13.599> as<00:04:13.760> a<00:04:14.000> so
want what's what should you do as a so
what<00:04:14.239> does<00:04:14.400> a<00:04:14.480> sensible<00:04:14.879> country<00:04:15.200> do<00:04:15.599> well<00:04:15.840> a
sensible country turns around to the
guys<00:04:17.440> flying<00:04:17.759> around<00:04:18.000> in<00:04:18.079> private<00:04:18.479> jets<00:04:18.880> and
what we have done is given the rich
enormous<00:04:26.720> pile<00:04:26.960> of<00:04:27.120> money<00:04:28.000> so<00:04:28.240> you<00:04:28.400> know
enormous pile of money so you know
if<00:04:30.000> the<00:04:30.160> rich<00:04:30.400> have<00:04:30.560> just<00:04:30.720> been<00:04:30.800> given
hundreds of millions of pounds it's
hundreds<00:04:33.520> of<00:04:33.600> billions<00:04:34.000> of<00:04:34.080> pounds<00:04:34.479> in<00:04:34.560> the
thing which there's not enough energy
the<00:04:52.800> obvious<00:04:53.120> sensible<00:04:53.440> thing<00:04:53.600> we<00:04:53.680> should<00:04:53.759> do
the obvious sensible thing we should do
which<00:04:54.160> is<00:04:54.320> encourage<00:04:54.800> the<00:04:54.960> rich<00:04:55.280> or<00:04:55.440> perhaps
which is encourage the rich or perhaps
even<00:04:56.320> force<00:04:56.639> the<00:04:56.800> rich<00:04:57.360> to<00:04:57.520> use<00:04:57.680> less<00:04:57.919> energy
even force the rich to use less energy
is<00:04:58.880> the<00:04:59.040> exact<00:04:59.280> opposite<00:04:59.600> of<00:04:59.759> what<00:04:59.840> we've<00:05:00.000> done
is the exact opposite of what we've done
what<00:05:00.560> we've<00:05:00.720> done<00:05:00.880> is<00:05:01.039> encourage<00:05:01.360> the<00:05:01.440> rich<00:05:01.680> to
what we've done is encourage the rich to
use<00:05:02.320> more<00:05:02.560> energy<00:05:02.800> by<00:05:02.960> giving<00:05:03.120> them<00:05:03.280> a<00:05:03.360> ton<00:05:03.520> of
money so what that means is
the<00:05:06.320> people<00:05:06.639> who<00:05:06.800> have<00:05:06.960> to<00:05:07.120> respond<00:05:07.680> to<00:05:07.840> the
the people who have to respond to the
energy<00:05:08.320> shortage<00:05:08.960> are<00:05:09.039> the<00:05:09.120> people<00:05:09.360> who<00:05:09.440> don't
and and that is literally not heating
your<00:05:13.120> homes<00:05:13.520> right<00:05:13.919> so<00:05:14.080> the<00:05:14.160> way<00:05:14.320> we're
dealing with it
from<00:05:17.360> like<00:05:17.520> a<00:05:17.600> perspective<00:05:18.160> of<00:05:18.240> just<00:05:18.479> like<00:05:19.199> do
from like a perspective of just like do
you<00:05:19.440> want<00:05:19.600> people<00:05:19.759> in<00:05:19.840> the<00:05:19.919> country<00:05:20.240> to<00:05:20.320> have
like good quality livable lives it's
ridiculous<00:05:23.120> right<00:05:23.600> we've<00:05:23.759> dealt<00:05:23.919> with<00:05:24.000> it<00:05:24.160> in
ridiculous right we've dealt with it in
such<00:05:24.400> a<00:05:24.400> way<00:05:24.560> that<00:05:24.639> we<00:05:24.800> encouraging<00:05:25.280> the<00:05:25.360> rich
such a way that we encouraging the rich
to<00:05:25.680> fly<00:05:25.840> their<00:05:26.000> private<00:05:26.320> jets<00:05:26.560> more<00:05:27.039> because
to fly their private jets more because
we<00:05:27.360> give<00:05:27.440> them<00:05:27.600> a<00:05:27.680> ton<00:05:27.840> of<00:05:27.919> money<00:05:28.400> and
it's it's ridiculous right and and then
now<00:05:37.520> let's<00:05:37.759> look<00:05:38.000> at<00:05:38.080> what<00:05:38.240> is<00:05:38.400> like<00:05:38.560> the<00:05:38.720> most
commonly proposed solution right the
most<00:05:40.800> commonly<00:05:41.120> proposed<00:05:41.440> solution<00:05:41.840> is<00:05:41.919> to<00:05:42.240> to
most commonly proposed solution is to to
do<00:05:42.560> something<00:05:42.800> to<00:05:42.960> directly<00:05:43.280> reduce<00:05:43.600> the<00:05:43.680> cost
do something to directly reduce the cost
of<00:05:44.080> energy<00:05:44.400> right<00:05:44.960> and<00:05:45.120> you<00:05:45.199> can<00:05:45.360> see<00:05:45.600> the
of energy right and you can see the
logic<00:05:46.000> in<00:05:46.080> that<00:05:46.240> right<00:05:46.479> it's<00:05:46.560> like<00:05:47.199> the<00:05:47.360> cost
logic in that right it's like the cost
the<00:05:47.840> price<00:05:48.080> of<00:05:48.160> energy<00:05:48.479> has<00:05:48.560> gone<00:05:48.800> up<00:05:49.280> so<00:05:49.440> we
the price of energy has gone up so we
need<00:05:49.680> to<00:05:49.759> bring<00:05:49.919> the<00:05:50.000> price<00:05:50.240> of<00:05:50.320> energy<00:05:50.639> down
need to bring the price of energy down
so<00:05:51.360> what<00:05:51.520> can<00:05:51.680> you<00:05:51.840> bring<00:05:51.919> the<00:05:52.000> price<00:05:52.160> of
energy down and that is like
totally<00:05:55.680> you<00:05:55.840> can<00:05:55.919> see<00:05:56.080> the<00:05:56.160> logic<00:05:56.479> in<00:05:56.560> it<00:05:56.639> but
totally you can see the logic in it but
it's<00:05:56.960> actually<00:05:57.280> not<00:05:57.520> a<00:05:57.600> great<00:05:57.759> idea<00:05:58.000> and<00:05:58.080> i'll
there's this concept in economics some
people<00:06:02.800> will<00:06:02.960> have<00:06:03.039> heard<00:06:03.280> of<00:06:03.360> it<00:06:03.440> some<00:06:03.600> people
people will have heard of it some people
would<00:06:03.919> have<00:06:04.000> not<00:06:04.240> heard<00:06:04.400> of<00:06:04.479> it<00:06:04.560> called<00:06:04.720> a
and universal basic income is basically
the<00:06:08.080> idea<00:06:08.319> that<00:06:08.400> the<00:06:08.479> government<00:06:08.800> should<00:06:08.960> give
the idea that the government should give
everyone<00:06:09.840> a<00:06:09.919> certain<00:06:10.160> amount<00:06:10.400> of<00:06:10.479> money<00:06:11.280> every
everyone a certain amount of money every
month<00:06:12.240> every<00:06:12.479> year<00:06:12.960> and<00:06:13.199> everyone<00:06:13.520> should<00:06:13.680> get
unconditional everybody should get that
money<00:06:16.560> and<00:06:16.880> you<00:06:16.960> know<00:06:17.039> the<00:06:17.199> idea<00:06:17.440> behind<00:06:17.759> it<00:06:17.840> is
money and you know the idea behind it is
you<00:06:18.000> know<00:06:18.160> this<00:06:18.400> gives<00:06:18.720> everyone<00:06:19.039> the<00:06:19.120> basic
you know this gives everyone the basic
ability<00:06:19.759> to<00:06:19.919> live<00:06:20.000> like<00:06:20.160> a<00:06:20.319> basic<00:06:21.120> quality<00:06:21.440> of
and we'll probably discuss in this in
more<00:06:24.479> detail<00:06:24.720> on<00:06:24.800> another<00:06:25.039> video<00:06:25.360> but<00:06:25.440> the
more detail on another video but the
reason<00:06:25.759> i<00:06:25.840> want<00:06:25.919> to<00:06:26.000> bring<00:06:26.160> up<00:06:26.319> at<00:06:26.400> this<00:06:26.560> point
is a universal basic income gives
everybody<00:06:29.440> in<00:06:29.520> the<00:06:29.600> country<00:06:29.840> the<00:06:29.919> same<00:06:30.080> amount
when the government starts giving out
money<00:06:35.600> it's<00:06:35.840> interesting<00:06:36.240> to<00:06:36.319> compare<00:06:36.720> it<00:06:36.800> to
your universal basic income because then
we<00:06:39.120> can<00:06:39.199> see<00:06:39.360> who's<00:06:39.520> winning<00:06:39.759> who's<00:06:40.000> losing
we can see who's winning who's losing
you<00:06:40.400> know<00:06:40.560> if<00:06:40.720> everybody<00:06:41.039> gets<00:06:41.199> the<00:06:41.360> same<00:06:41.840> then
you know if everybody gets the same then
it's<00:06:42.160> kind<00:06:42.319> of<00:06:42.479> equal<00:06:42.800> right<00:06:43.440> so<00:06:43.600> we<00:06:43.759> can<00:06:43.919> say
it's kind of equal right so we can say
is<00:06:44.319> this<00:06:44.560> policy<00:06:45.120> better<00:06:45.520> or<00:06:45.759> worse<00:06:46.560> than<00:06:46.800> a
ubi in terms of inequality distribution
so<00:06:51.919> if<00:06:52.000> the<00:06:52.160> policy<00:06:52.479> gives<00:06:52.720> more<00:06:52.880> to<00:06:53.039> the<00:06:53.120> rich
the perspective of inequality and if
a<00:06:58.880> policy<00:06:59.199> gives<00:06:59.440> more<00:06:59.599> to<00:06:59.759> the<00:06:59.840> poor<00:07:00.479> or<00:07:00.720> to
ordinary people unless they're rich is
better<00:07:02.800> than<00:07:02.880> a<00:07:02.960> ubi<00:07:03.599> that<00:07:03.840> making<00:07:04.080> sense<00:07:04.319> to
is that better or worse than ebi well we
know<00:07:13.039> rich<00:07:13.280> people<00:07:13.520> use<00:07:13.680> more<00:07:13.919> energy<00:07:14.639> so<00:07:14.800> if
know rich people use more energy so if
we<00:07:15.039> bring<00:07:15.199> energy<00:07:15.520> prices<00:07:16.000> down<00:07:16.800> you<00:07:17.039> benefit
exactly proportionally to how much
energy<00:07:19.680> you<00:07:19.840> use<00:07:20.080> right<00:07:20.720> like<00:07:20.960> if<00:07:21.120> you<00:07:21.280> use
if you normally spend
1<00:07:25.039> 000<00:07:25.199> pounds<00:07:25.440> of<00:07:25.599> energy<00:07:25.840> a<00:07:26.000> year<00:07:26.319> and<00:07:26.400> we
1 000 pounds of energy a year and we
bring<00:07:26.720> the<00:07:26.800> energy<00:07:27.039> price<00:07:27.280> down<00:07:27.520> 10<00:07:28.080> you<00:07:28.160> save
bring the energy price down 10 you save
100<00:07:28.800> pounds<00:07:29.440> if<00:07:29.599> you're<00:07:29.759> super<00:07:30.080> rich<00:07:30.319> and
100 pounds if you're super rich and
you've<00:07:30.479> got<00:07:30.639> 10<00:07:30.800> private<00:07:31.120> jets<00:07:31.360> and<00:07:31.440> you
actually helps the rich much more than
the<00:07:43.039> poor<00:07:43.280> in<00:07:43.360> terms<00:07:43.599> of<00:07:43.680> the<00:07:43.759> actual<00:07:44.000> amount
of money they save right
so<00:07:46.479> say<00:07:46.720> we<00:07:46.960> we<00:07:47.120> bring<00:07:47.280> in<00:07:47.360> a<00:07:47.440> ubi<00:07:47.840> that's<00:07:48.080> going
so we bring in a we reduce energy bills
in<00:07:51.919> such<00:07:52.080> that<00:07:52.240> it<00:07:52.319> cost<00:07:52.479> the<00:07:52.560> government<00:07:52.879> 20
well that money will go more to the rich
than<00:07:56.560> what<00:07:56.639> to<00:07:56.800> the<00:07:56.879> poor<00:07:57.280> and<00:07:57.440> you'd<00:07:57.680> actually
than what to the poor and you'd actually
give<00:07:58.080> the<00:07:58.160> people<00:07:58.400> who<00:07:58.560> needed<00:07:58.960> the<00:07:59.039> money
situation where there's not enough
energy<00:08:13.759> to<00:08:13.840> go<00:08:14.000> around<00:08:14.639> so<00:08:14.879> actually<00:08:15.280> like
this policy which seems initially like
the<00:08:18.400> most<00:08:18.639> sensible<00:08:19.039> policy<00:08:19.440> which<00:08:19.599> is<00:08:19.759> energy
the most sensible policy which is energy
bills<00:08:20.240> have<00:08:20.319> gone<00:08:20.400> up<00:08:20.479> let's<00:08:20.639> bring<00:08:20.800> energy
it's a horrible policy it seems like a
good<00:08:36.719> policy<00:08:37.039> but<00:08:37.200> it's<00:08:37.279> a<00:08:37.360> horrible<00:08:37.680> policy
good policy but it's a horrible policy
right<00:08:38.640> and<00:08:38.800> i<00:08:38.880> think<00:08:39.919> what<00:08:40.080> you<00:08:40.320> actually<00:08:40.640> want
right and i think what you actually want
from<00:08:41.039> a<00:08:41.120> policy<00:08:42.000> if<00:08:42.159> you<00:08:42.320> know<00:08:42.560> that<00:08:43.120> the<00:08:43.279> rich
from a policy if you know that the rich
are<00:08:43.919> getting<00:08:44.159> really<00:08:44.399> richer<00:08:45.200> and<00:08:45.360> the<00:08:45.519> poor
are getting really richer and the poor
are<00:08:45.839> really<00:08:46.000> struggling<00:08:46.480> and<00:08:46.640> we<00:08:46.720> don't<00:08:46.880> have
are really struggling and we don't have
enough<00:08:47.279> energy<00:08:47.839> what<00:08:48.080> you<00:08:48.240> want<00:08:48.399> from<00:08:48.640> a
particularly from the rich because they
are<00:08:56.160> the<00:08:56.320> people<00:08:56.480> who<00:08:56.720> are<00:08:56.800> using<00:08:57.040> the<00:08:57.120> most
people are struggling and towards the
people<00:09:05.440> that<00:09:05.600> need<00:09:05.839> it<00:09:06.000> right<00:09:06.560> so<00:09:06.720> what<00:09:06.880> you
people that need it right so what you
actually<00:09:07.279> want<00:09:07.440> to<00:09:07.519> do<00:09:07.839> the<00:09:08.000> perfect<00:09:08.399> policy
is actually really the exact opposite
policy<00:09:12.080> what<00:09:12.240> we're<00:09:12.399> doing<00:09:12.560> right<00:09:12.800> what<00:09:12.959> you
policy what we're doing right what you
want<00:09:13.200> to<00:09:13.279> do<00:09:13.920> is<00:09:14.080> you<00:09:14.160> want<00:09:14.320> to<00:09:14.399> put<00:09:14.560> a<00:09:14.640> tax<00:09:14.880> on
to support the poor
because<00:09:21.839> if<00:09:22.080> what<00:09:22.240> that<00:09:22.399> would<00:09:22.480> do<00:09:22.640> is<00:09:22.720> bring
and that will discourage energy usage
from<00:09:26.720> everyone<00:09:27.279> which<00:09:27.519> is<00:09:27.600> good<00:09:28.240> but<00:09:28.399> it<00:09:28.480> will
from everyone which is good but it will
also<00:09:29.120> funnel<00:09:29.440> money<00:09:29.680> away<00:09:30.000> from<00:09:30.160> the<00:09:30.320> high
ordinary people and poor families which
means<00:09:37.279> that<00:09:37.519> even<00:09:37.680> though<00:09:37.760> their<00:09:37.920> energy<00:09:38.240> bill
means that even though their energy bill
has<00:09:38.480> gone<00:09:38.720> up<00:09:39.040> they<00:09:39.200> will<00:09:39.360> get<00:09:39.600> more
from this tax
because<00:09:43.120> we<00:09:43.279> know<00:09:43.440> that<00:09:43.519> they<00:09:43.680> use<00:09:43.839> less<00:09:44.080> than
counterintuitive right like ordinary
people<00:09:50.399> be<00:09:50.480> like<00:09:50.640> you<00:09:50.720> need<00:09:50.880> to<00:09:50.959> bring<00:09:51.120> that
people be like you need to bring that
you<00:09:51.360> need<00:09:51.440> to<00:09:51.519> bring<00:09:51.680> the<00:09:51.760> bills<00:09:52.000> they<00:09:52.160> need<00:09:52.240> to
you need to bring the bills they need to
bring<00:09:52.480> the<00:09:52.560> bills<00:09:52.800> down<00:09:53.120> but<00:09:53.279> what<00:09:53.600> all<00:09:53.760> the
some poor people might be able to
economize<00:10:04.399> on<00:10:04.560> their<00:10:04.720> energy<00:10:04.959> usage<00:10:05.760> if<00:10:05.920> they
economize on their energy usage if they
had<00:10:06.240> more<00:10:06.560> if<00:10:06.640> they<00:10:06.720> had<00:10:06.880> more<00:10:07.040> money<00:10:07.600> in<00:10:07.760> other
ways you know what i mean
and<00:10:09.680> then<00:10:09.760> that<00:10:09.920> would<00:10:10.000> be<00:10:10.079> good<00:10:10.240> for<00:10:10.399> society
and then that would be good for society
as<00:10:10.880> a<00:10:10.959> whole<00:10:11.279> but<00:10:11.440> the<00:10:11.519> policy<00:10:11.920> what<00:10:12.079> we<00:10:12.160> have
is actively funneling money to the rich
and<00:10:16.480> encouraging<00:10:16.959> them<00:10:17.279> to<00:10:17.360> use<00:10:17.519> more<00:10:17.600> energy
and encouraging them to use more energy
at<00:10:18.560> the<00:10:18.640> time<00:10:18.880> when<00:10:19.040> the<00:10:19.200> rich<00:10:19.440> have<00:10:19.680> a<00:10:19.760> ton<00:10:19.920> of
so
i<00:10:25.680> think<00:10:25.920> this<00:10:26.079> is<00:10:26.160> sort<00:10:26.320> of<00:10:26.480> a<00:10:26.560> good<00:10:26.720> example
and i think this idea which i've
introduced<00:10:40.399> here<00:10:40.560> in<00:10:40.640> this<00:10:40.800> video<00:10:41.360> compare<00:10:41.760> it
introduced here in this video compare it
to<00:10:41.920> a<00:10:42.000> ubi<00:10:42.560> compared<00:10:42.959> to<00:10:43.040> universal<00:10:43.440> basic
a really interesting way to really
assess<00:10:47.200> whether<00:10:47.440> a<00:10:47.440> policy<00:10:47.760> is<00:10:47.839> good<00:10:48.079> or<00:10:48.160> not
assess whether a policy is good or not
because<00:10:49.680> if<00:10:49.920> a<00:10:50.000> policy<00:10:50.800> benefits<00:10:51.200> the<00:10:51.360> rich
direct money into my bank account you
know<00:11:00.880> what<00:11:00.959> i<00:11:01.040> mean<00:11:01.279> like<00:11:01.680> would<00:11:01.839> you<00:11:02.079> rather
know what i mean like would you rather
as<00:11:02.560> an<00:11:02.959> a<00:11:03.120> poor<00:11:03.360> family<00:11:04.000> would<00:11:04.160> you<00:11:04.320> rather
as an a poor family would you rather
have<00:11:04.800> your<00:11:05.279> energy<00:11:05.600> bills<00:11:05.920> reduced<00:11:06.640> in<00:11:06.800> a<00:11:06.880> way
200 pounds a year or would you rather
have<00:11:11.360> 1<00:11:11.680> 000<00:11:11.839> pounds<00:11:12.079> in<00:11:12.160> your<00:11:12.240> bank<00:11:12.480> account
every year
you<00:11:15.040> see<00:11:15.200> what<00:11:15.279> i'm<00:11:15.360> saying<00:11:15.760> and<00:11:16.000> this<00:11:16.160> is<00:11:16.320> what
you see what i'm saying and this is what
if<00:11:17.120> we<00:11:17.360> actually<00:11:18.160> start<00:11:18.399> looking<00:11:18.640> at<00:11:18.720> policies
from a distributional perspective and
saying<00:11:20.880> look<00:11:21.279> who<00:11:21.519> are<00:11:21.680> we<00:11:21.839> really<00:11:22.079> helping
we have this problem structural problem
in<00:11:29.680> our<00:11:29.760> politics<00:11:30.079> in<00:11:30.160> our<00:11:30.320> media<00:11:30.959> which<00:11:31.200> is
by very very very wealthy people
our<00:11:35.519> media<00:11:36.000> is<00:11:36.160> owned<00:11:36.560> and<00:11:36.720> dominated<00:11:37.120> by<00:11:37.360> very
promoting policies that help them and
they're<00:11:42.640> telling<00:11:42.959> you<00:11:43.600> that<00:11:43.760> it's<00:11:43.920> good<00:11:44.079> for
and the way which you can defend
yourself<00:11:46.800> from<00:11:46.959> that<00:11:47.200> is<00:11:47.279> this<00:11:47.440> simple<00:11:48.079> trick
yourself from that is this simple trick
which<00:11:48.640> is<00:11:49.200> look<00:11:49.440> at<00:11:49.519> the<00:11:49.600> policy<00:11:50.240> is<00:11:50.399> a<00:11:50.480> better
which is look at the policy is a better
than<00:11:50.800> ubi<00:11:51.360> and<00:11:51.519> it's<00:11:51.839> it's<00:11:52.000> also<00:11:52.399> relevant
right because all of these guys are
promising<00:11:57.680> tax<00:11:57.920> cuts<00:11:58.160> tax<00:11:58.399> cuts<00:11:58.639> tax<00:11:58.959> cuts
understand national insurance and when
you<00:12:12.240> understand<00:12:12.639> that<00:12:12.880> income<00:12:13.120> tax<00:12:13.279> is<00:12:13.360> paid
you understand that income tax is paid
on<00:12:13.760> all<00:12:14.000> income<00:12:14.800> and<00:12:14.959> national<00:12:15.279> trade<00:12:15.440> is<00:12:15.519> paid
on all income and national trade is paid
only<00:12:15.920> on<00:12:16.079> worked<00:12:16.480> income<00:12:17.120> you<00:12:17.279> can<00:12:17.360> see<00:12:17.519> that
only on worked income you can see that
what<00:12:17.760> they've<00:12:17.920> done<00:12:18.160> is<00:12:18.480> they've<00:12:18.720> cut<00:12:18.880> taxes
what they've done is they've cut taxes
on<00:12:19.360> billionaires<00:12:19.920> and<00:12:20.079> raised<00:12:20.320> taxes<00:12:20.639> on<00:12:20.800> you
on billionaires and raised taxes on you
because<00:12:21.519> you<00:12:22.079> your<00:12:22.320> money<00:12:22.560> all<00:12:22.639> comes<00:12:22.800> from
because you your money all comes from
your<00:12:23.200> working<00:12:23.680> and<00:12:24.000> their<00:12:24.160> money<00:12:24.399> comes<00:12:24.639> from
your working and their money comes from
wealth<00:12:25.200> right<00:12:25.839> and<00:12:26.000> if<00:12:26.079> you<00:12:26.160> were<00:12:26.320> to<00:12:26.480> just<00:12:26.560> say
would it be better just to give money
out<00:12:29.519> equally<00:12:30.399> then<00:12:30.560> you'll<00:12:30.720> see<00:12:30.880> okay<00:12:31.120> all<00:12:31.200> of
policies that they're suggesting now
which<00:12:39.120> is<00:12:39.279> cut<00:12:39.440> taxes<00:12:39.760> cut<00:12:40.000> taxes<00:12:40.720> well<00:12:40.959> who
rich are actually good for you
so<00:12:59.519> compare<00:12:59.920> it<00:13:00.079> to<00:13:00.160> a<00:13:00.240> basic<00:13:00.560> simple<00:13:00.880> policy
and say who benefits the most
and<00:13:03.440> in<00:13:03.600> this<00:13:03.760> case<00:13:04.000> when<00:13:04.160> it<00:13:04.240> comes<00:13:04.399> to<00:13:04.480> energy
there are other alternative options such
as<00:13:11.040> taxes<00:13:11.440> on<00:13:11.600> energy<00:13:12.000> where<00:13:12.160> the<00:13:12.320> money<00:13:12.639> is
families that will benefit you more
that<00:13:17.680> will<00:13:18.160> transfer<00:13:18.560> money<00:13:18.880> from<00:13:19.040> the<00:13:19.120> rich
we have a media which is in very cases
very<00:13:33.600> many<00:13:33.839> cases<00:13:34.240> not<00:13:34.480> great<00:13:34.639> quality<00:13:34.959> and
very many cases not great quality and
it's<00:13:35.120> not<00:13:35.279> giving<00:13:35.360> you<00:13:35.440> good<00:13:35.600> information<00:13:36.079> so
message i want to leave is um i think
this<00:13:41.199> is<00:13:41.440> like<00:13:41.920> one<00:13:42.160> quick<00:13:42.560> one<00:13:42.800> quick<00:13:43.120> trick
a policy suggestion who benefits the
most<00:13:47.199> in<00:13:47.279> terms<00:13:47.519> of<00:13:47.680> cash<00:13:48.160> who<00:13:48.480> benefits<00:13:48.959> the
most in terms of cash who benefits the
most<00:13:49.279> in<00:13:49.360> terms<00:13:49.600> of<00:13:49.680> cash<00:13:50.079> is<00:13:50.240> it<00:13:50.320> you<00:13:50.880> is<00:13:51.040> it
most in terms of cash is it you is it
your<00:13:51.279> family<00:13:51.680> is<00:13:51.839> it<00:13:51.920> ordinary<00:13:52.399> families<00:13:53.199> in
your family is it ordinary families in
order<00:13:53.600> no<00:13:53.760> financial<00:13:54.079> situations<00:13:55.199> or<00:13:55.360> is<00:13:55.519> it
the rich and directly reducing energy
bills<00:13:58.160> benefits<00:13:58.560> to<00:13:58.720> rich<00:13:58.880> the<00:13:58.959> most<00:13:59.760> and
bills benefits to rich the most and
cutting<00:14:00.320> taxes<00:14:01.040> benefits<00:14:01.440> the<00:14:01.519> rich<00:14:01.760> the<00:14:01.839> most
hopefully this gives people a way to
sort<00:14:14.800> of<00:14:14.959> understand<00:14:15.360> better<00:14:16.000> how<00:14:16.160> we<00:14:16.320> can<00:14:16.399> fix
sort of understand better how we can fix
our<00:14:16.800> problems<00:14:17.680> and<00:14:17.839> i<00:14:17.920> think<00:14:18.079> the<00:14:18.160> key
this conservative government which has
a<00:14:27.600> lot<00:14:27.760> of<00:14:27.839> very<00:14:28.000> very<00:14:28.160> wealthy<00:14:28.399> people<00:14:28.720> in<00:14:28.839> it
from the perspective of distribution
who<00:14:36.639> wins<00:14:36.880> the<00:14:36.959> most<00:14:37.360> is<00:14:37.519> it<00:14:37.600> the<00:14:37.680> rich<00:14:38.079> or<00:14:38.240> is
who wins the most is it the rich or is
it<00:14:38.480> ordinary<00:14:38.800> families<00:14:39.199> and<00:14:39.360> if<00:14:39.440> it's<00:14:39.600> the
it ordinary families and if it's the
rich<00:14:39.920> ask<00:14:40.079> yourself<00:14:40.399> why<00:14:40.720> is<00:14:40.800> that<00:14:40.959> the<00:14:41.120> policy
so it's intentionally designed national
insurance<00:14:57.519> so<00:14:57.680> that<00:14:57.920> very<00:14:58.240> rich<00:14:58.560> people<00:14:59.120> pay<00:14:59.360> a
