since the pandemic began are you
supposed<00:00:11.519> to<00:00:11.599> be<00:00:11.759> looking<00:00:12.080> at<00:00:12.320> as<00:00:12.559> if<00:00:12.639> you're
last green crisis last great economic
recession<00:00:31.679> in<00:00:31.840> 2008<00:00:32.640> we<00:00:32.800> don't<00:00:32.960> repeat<00:00:33.440> the
by too much unfairness and inequality
the<00:00:54.879> fat<00:00:55.280> cats<00:00:56.239> they<00:00:56.559> rob<00:00:57.199> all<00:00:57.600> money
i still ask myself what else you know
could<00:01:10.960> have<00:01:11.040> been<00:01:11.200> done<00:01:11.439> in<00:01:11.520> those<00:01:11.840> in<00:01:12.000> those
alienation that wasn't appearing in any
of<00:01:16.560> this<00:01:16.799> consensus<00:01:17.680> was<00:01:17.920> there<00:01:18.640> on<00:01:18.720> the
of this consensus was there on the
streets<00:01:19.360> what<00:01:19.520> i<00:01:19.600> wanted<00:01:19.920> to<00:01:20.000> do<00:01:20.159> was<00:01:20.479> use<00:01:20.880> the
political honeymoon that you get after
an<00:01:23.439> election<00:01:23.840> to<00:01:24.000> do<00:01:24.240> the<00:01:24.400> hard<00:01:24.720> stuff<00:01:25.119> george
quantities of money into the system
those<00:01:36.000> of<00:01:36.079> us<00:01:36.240> in<00:01:36.320> private<00:01:36.640> equity<00:01:37.360> got
incredibly wealthy in one day basically
i've<00:01:41.840> made<00:01:42.079> as<00:01:42.240> much<00:01:42.399> money<00:01:42.560> as<00:01:42.640> my<00:01:42.799> dad<00:01:42.960> made
i've made as much money as my dad made
in<00:01:43.200> his<00:01:43.280> whole<00:01:43.439> career<00:01:43.680> and<00:01:43.840> it<00:01:43.920> just<00:01:44.079> was
in his whole career and it just was
owners<00:01:46.000> of<00:01:46.159> assets<00:01:46.479> have<00:01:46.960> all<00:01:47.119> made<00:01:47.360> out<00:01:47.520> like
but average wages have barely butched
this<00:02:05.200> was<00:02:05.439> us<00:02:05.600> saying<00:02:05.920> actually<00:02:06.240> didn't<00:02:06.479> look
this was us saying actually didn't look
after<00:02:06.960> us<00:02:07.119> you<00:02:07.200> neglected<00:02:07.759> us<00:02:08.080> you<00:02:08.239> treated<00:02:08.640> us
after us you neglected us you treated us
badly<00:02:09.440> and<00:02:09.599> here<00:02:09.759> we<00:02:10.000> are<00:02:10.399> the<00:02:10.560> big<00:02:10.800> winners<00:02:11.599> of
badly and here we are the big winners of
the<00:02:11.840> last<00:02:12.160> 10<00:02:12.400> to<00:02:12.560> 12<00:02:12.800> years<00:02:13.360> um<00:02:13.760> have<00:02:14.000> been
the last 10 to 12 years um have been
those<00:02:14.400> at<00:02:14.480> the<00:02:14.640> top<00:02:15.040> it's<00:02:15.200> a<00:02:15.360> very<00:02:15.599> simple
those at the top it's a very simple
story<00:02:16.319> the<00:02:16.400> fact<00:02:16.560> that<00:02:16.640> we've<00:02:16.800> got<00:02:16.959> nurses
and it wasn't being applied to the elite
there's<00:02:31.760> one<00:02:32.080> rule<00:02:32.480> for<00:02:32.640> the<00:02:32.800> rest<00:02:33.040> of<00:02:33.200> us<00:02:33.760> but
we had what is called the traders off
site<00:03:03.840> which<00:03:04.080> is<00:03:04.159> where<00:03:04.400> all<00:03:04.480> the<00:03:04.640> traders<00:03:04.959> in
site which is where all the traders in
the<00:03:05.120> world<00:03:05.360> get<00:03:05.519> together<00:03:06.480> have<00:03:06.640> a<00:03:06.720> bit<00:03:06.879> of<00:03:06.959> a
the world get together have a bit of a
jolly<00:03:07.360> up<00:03:07.519> and<00:03:07.599> talk<00:03:07.840> about<00:03:08.000> like<00:03:08.159> what<00:03:08.319> we're
jolly up and talk about like what we're
going<00:03:08.480> to<00:03:08.560> do<00:03:08.720> that<00:03:08.879> year<00:03:09.519> um<00:03:10.080> and
going to do that year um and
that<00:03:11.200> year<00:03:11.599> early<00:03:11.840> 2011<00:03:12.800> it<00:03:12.879> was<00:03:13.120> held<00:03:13.680> in<00:03:13.760> a
when we went in
i<00:03:17.519> couldn't<00:03:17.760> believe<00:03:18.159> it<00:03:18.239> they<00:03:18.400> gave<00:03:18.640> us<00:03:18.879> um
i couldn't believe it they gave us um
and<00:03:19.840> they<00:03:19.920> gave<00:03:20.159> us<00:03:20.319> these<00:03:20.560> hats<00:03:21.200> these<00:03:21.440> hats
here
stand<00:03:23.120> on<00:03:23.200> the<00:03:23.360> front<00:03:24.080> go<00:03:24.319> big<00:03:24.480> or<00:03:24.640> go<00:03:24.799> home
stand on the front go big or go home
and<00:03:26.560> the<00:03:26.879> the<00:03:27.040> idea<00:03:27.280> behind<00:03:27.599> this<00:03:27.920> is
and the the idea behind this is
if<00:03:29.200> you're<00:03:29.280> willing<00:03:29.519> to<00:03:29.599> take<00:03:29.840> a<00:03:30.000> bet<00:03:30.560> in
if you're willing to take a bet in
one<00:03:31.760> million<00:03:32.000> dollars<00:03:32.799> take<00:03:33.040> it<00:03:33.120> in<00:03:33.200> 10
one million dollars take it in 10
million<00:03:33.599> dollars<00:03:34.080> if<00:03:34.159> you<00:03:34.480> if<00:03:34.640> you<00:03:34.720> back
million dollars if you if you back
yourself<00:03:35.120> in<00:03:35.200> one<00:03:35.360> million<00:03:35.519> dollars<00:03:35.760> do<00:03:35.920> it
yourself in one million dollars do it
intent<00:03:36.799> telling<00:03:37.040> us<00:03:37.200> all<00:03:37.360> right<00:03:37.920> take<00:03:38.159> way
i couldn't believe it right okay because
it's<00:03:42.959> only<00:03:43.519> two<00:03:43.680> years<00:03:43.920> after<00:03:44.319> we<00:03:44.799> the<00:03:44.959> bank
basically brought the world economy to
its<00:03:47.280> knees<00:03:47.760> by<00:03:48.000> taking<00:03:48.239> too<00:03:48.400> much<00:03:48.560> risk
its knees by taking too much risk
their<00:03:49.760> incentivizers<00:03:50.400> to<00:03:50.640> take<00:03:50.799> a<00:03:50.799> load<00:03:50.959> of
their incentivizers to take a load of
risk<00:03:51.200> and<00:03:51.280> they<00:03:51.360> know<00:03:51.519> if<00:03:51.599> it<00:03:51.680> doesn't<00:03:51.840> work
not going to lose out you know they
might<00:03:55.200> get<00:03:55.280> a<00:03:55.360> bailout<00:03:55.680> anyway<00:03:56.480> so<00:03:56.640> they<00:03:56.799> just
might get a bailout anyway so they just
want<00:03:57.280> us<00:03:57.360> to<00:03:57.760> take<00:03:58.000> a<00:03:58.400> ton<00:03:58.560> of<00:03:58.640> risk<00:03:58.959> and<00:03:59.120> oh
want us to take a ton of risk and oh
yeah<00:04:00.319> i've<00:04:00.480> never<00:04:00.720> claimed<00:04:00.959> to<00:04:01.120> be<00:04:01.280> like<00:04:01.519> a
moral philosopher but this is it's
taking<00:04:05.360> the<00:04:05.439> piss<00:04:05.599> to<00:04:05.760> be<00:04:05.840> honest<00:04:06.080> isn't<00:04:06.239> it
taking the piss to be honest isn't it
really<00:04:06.879> i<00:04:07.040> mean<00:04:07.200> i<00:04:07.360> took<00:04:07.680> massive<00:04:08.000> amounts<00:04:08.319> of
really i mean i took massive amounts of
risk<00:04:08.879> as<00:04:09.040> a<00:04:09.120> very<00:04:09.360> young<00:04:09.599> trader<00:04:10.400> and<00:04:10.640> because
risk management got a little bit tighter
as<00:04:17.120> i<00:04:17.199> got<00:04:17.519> as<00:04:17.680> i<00:04:17.759> got<00:04:17.919> a<00:04:18.000> bit<00:04:18.160> older<00:04:18.720> so<00:04:18.880> the
incentivization on traders is not to
like<00:04:21.280> take<00:04:21.680> massive<00:04:22.000> bets<00:04:22.240> and<00:04:22.400> win<00:04:23.040> traders
like take massive bets and win traders
now<00:04:23.600> have<00:04:23.840> massive<00:04:24.160> salaries<00:04:24.800> and<00:04:24.880> not<00:04:25.120> big
and i started to think well
these<00:04:55.520> rich<00:04:55.759> people<00:04:56.000> are<00:04:56.080> not<00:04:56.240> going<00:04:56.400> to<00:04:56.479> boost
these rich people are not going to boost
the<00:04:56.800> economy<00:04:57.120> because<00:04:57.280> they<00:04:57.440> get<00:04:57.520> the<00:04:57.600> money
the economy because they get the money
or<00:04:57.919> they're<00:04:58.080> doing<00:04:58.240> is<00:04:58.400> buying<00:04:58.639> houses<00:04:59.120> buying
so what's probably going to happen is
house<00:05:02.479> price<00:05:02.639> is<00:05:02.720> going<00:05:02.880> to<00:05:02.960> go<00:05:03.039> up<00:05:03.280> stock
house price is going to go up stock
price<00:05:03.759> is<00:05:03.840> going<00:05:03.919> to<00:05:04.000> go<00:05:04.160> up<00:05:04.240> the<00:05:04.320> economy's
price is going to go up the economy's
not<00:05:04.800> going<00:05:04.880> to<00:05:04.960> recover<00:05:05.600> and<00:05:05.759> i<00:05:05.840> started<00:05:06.160> to
that actually there will never be a
recovery<00:05:09.840> on<00:05:09.919> the<00:05:10.000> back<00:05:10.240> of<00:05:10.320> this<00:05:10.479> bet<00:05:10.639> that
recovery on the back of this bet that
there<00:05:10.880> will<00:05:11.039> never<00:05:11.199> be<00:05:11.280> an<00:05:11.360> economic<00:05:11.680> recovery
poor people obviously losing but there's
this<00:05:45.199> real<00:05:45.440> problem<00:05:45.680> i<00:05:45.759> think<00:05:45.919> where<00:05:46.080> people
this real problem i think where people
in<00:05:46.320> the<00:05:46.400> middle<00:05:46.800> are<00:05:46.880> seeing<00:05:47.120> their<00:05:47.199> house
my job was to look at the economy and
take<00:06:09.280> the<00:06:09.440> temperature<00:06:09.919> is<00:06:10.000> it<00:06:10.080> good<00:06:10.240> is<00:06:10.400> it
take the temperature is it good is it
bad<00:06:10.720> you<00:06:10.880> know<00:06:10.960> i<00:06:11.120> come<00:06:11.280> from<00:06:11.520> a<00:06:11.600> poor
background my friends come from poor
backgrounds<00:06:13.680> my<00:06:13.840> family<00:06:14.080> comes<00:06:14.319> from<00:06:14.400> a<00:06:14.479> poor
backgrounds my family comes from a poor
background<00:06:15.039> i<00:06:15.199> can<00:06:15.360> see<00:06:15.520> all<00:06:15.680> the<00:06:15.840> new<00:06:16.000> people
but now i'm a millionaire right and i'm
sitting<00:06:38.400> down<00:06:38.560> and<00:06:38.720> i'm<00:06:38.800> looking<00:06:39.039> at<00:06:39.120> the
i'm saying what i think is going to
happen<00:06:42.960> i<00:06:43.120> think<00:06:43.360> it's<00:06:43.440> going<00:06:43.600> to<00:06:43.680> be<00:06:43.759> a
happen i think it's going to be a
disaster<00:06:44.240> i<00:06:44.319> think<00:06:44.479> it's<00:06:44.560> going<00:06:44.639> to<00:06:44.720> be
rubbish for years for decades
and<00:06:47.440> i<00:06:47.600> could<00:06:47.759> bet<00:06:47.919> on<00:06:48.000> that<00:06:48.160> again<00:06:48.560> and<00:06:48.720> i
could make another million quid again
but<00:06:51.120> then<00:06:51.360> after<00:06:51.599> the<00:06:51.680> money<00:06:51.840> hit<00:06:52.000> the<00:06:52.080> bank<00:06:52.319> it
but then after the money hit the bank it
just<00:06:52.560> didn't<00:06:52.800> feel<00:06:53.120> right<00:06:53.520> basically<00:06:54.160> anymore
all right the problems inequality
we're<00:07:14.639> not<00:07:14.800> going<00:07:14.880> to<00:07:14.960> fix<00:07:15.280> it<00:07:16.319> i<00:07:16.479> started<00:07:16.720> to
i need to tell someone like if you know
a<00:07:21.120> disaster<00:07:21.599> is<00:07:21.680> going<00:07:21.759> to<00:07:21.840> happen<00:07:22.479> you<00:07:22.720> need
