They can own property, sue and be sued, donate to political campaigns, and even have defended religious beliefs…… but if a normal person was found laundering money for cartels and the North Korean Nuclear Program, they would be living it up, here in ADX Florence IF THEY WERE LUCKY.HSBC on the other hand still operates across the world, and their punishment for these crimes would be like a normal person getting a fine for roughly 2 months of their wages…So if corporations are legally people… why can’t they be arrested?If companies see fines as “just the cost of doing business” what reasonable punishments are there for organizations that break the law which DOESN’T just end up punishing innocent employees and the wider economy more than it does the people with actual discretion over how these companies act?Follow to learn How Money Works.Find How Money Works on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@HowMoneyWorksDisclaimer: This podcast is an independently produced audio adaptation of content originally created by How Money Works.

Credit card debt is at an all-time high, a majority of Americans can’t afford a $1,000 expense without going into debt, and even one third of people that earn two hundred and fifty THOUSAND dollars a year [$250,000] OR MORE live paycheck to paycheck. But is this a good thing for the small minority that do keep their spending in check? Or can we afford for everybody to be financially responsible?If everybody was financially responsible there would be nobody left to spend money on disposable consumer junk, overpriced restaurant meals, leased pickups and day trading courses, but all of these purchases give other people a job. If YOU are being financially responsible, are you denying an opportunity to someone else to be financially responsible? And does that mean that you should be grateful to all the people living pay check to pay check? The average American is not in a comfortable financial position at the moment and it’s the same story everywhere around the world. Money that people saved up in the pandemic has evaporated and credit card debt has taken its place.But how much of this is recklessness and how much of this is people who do not make enough money to keep up?So it’s time to learn How Money Works, to find out if we can really afford for everybody to be financially responsible, and if we would even want that to happen.Follow to learn How Money Works.Find How Money Works on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@HowMoneyWorksDisclaimer: This podcast is an independently produced audio adaptation of content originally created by How Money Works.

Wealth is becoming alarmingly concentrated in the hands of a few, with private equity controlling a significant chunk of the U.S. economy. Major index funds now own substantial shares in most large companies, raising questions about fair resource distribution. Local monopolies are emerging, affecting youth sports leagues and community economics. This concentration also stifles job opportunities and hinders entrepreneurship, creating challenges for those looking to thrive in an increasingly competitive market.

This video does not provide investment or financial advice of any kind.Buy Now Pay Later companies now have over half a trillion dollars worth of debt on their books according to estimates from industry groups. An exact number is harder to track than something like total credit card debt because these companies are not required to record their lending practices in the same way. Either way this is an especially concerning amount of money because by design “buy now pay later” “loans” SHOULD only last for eight weeks before they are paid off in a predictable instalment plan. But new research (and company confessions) have revealed what you probably already knew… people aren’t really paying off their Klarna account, they are just using it as a new way to make their month go a little bit further at the end of their money… Most of the largest Buy Now Pay Later companies are barely ten years old now, but in that time they have been able to scale rapidly thanks to a combination of generous investor funding, a tech bro attitude towards regulations, and a service that was appealing to people who didn’t want to go through a formal credit application process… for whatever reason… The argument was that these companies weren’t giving out loans… They were just letting people split up their purchase into smaller payments made over a set time period, and if everything was done properly the users wouldn’t even need to pay interest. But now after giving out quick, easy “not-loans” to anybody who could download an app, the companies are pulling a shocked Pikachu that their “not-debt” is NOT getting paid back. Now consumer debt defaults are on the rise everywhere, but BNPL has its own risks that could make this a whole lot worse than people not being able to split their Costco hotdog into 4 easy payments.Follow to learn How Money Works.Find How Money Works on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@HowMoneyWorksDisclaimer: This podcast is an independently produced audio adaptation of content originally created by How Money Works.

A system where how much you pay for a Baconator would depend on an algorithm that balanced customer demand with store capacity.According to the companies announcement they were planning to invest twenty MILLION dollars [$20,000,000] into this technology before it was rightfully ridiculed across the internet.This was a win for the little guy that just wanted to clog their arteries at a predictable price point, but Wendy’s only mistake was announcing their plans.

To get started for FREE go to http://www.brilliant.org/howmoneyworksSign up for my newsletter https://compoundeddaily.com 👈 -----Investing is the most important thing you can do to reliably build wealth during your life. The only problem is… you inevitably suck at it…The S&P 500 has a historical average return of 10.4% over the past 100 years, even when including all the major stock market downturns during that time. $10,000 invested in 1972 would be worth $1.7 Million today. But look around, and you will be hard pressed to find anybody who has made themselves wealthy EXCLUSIVELY through diligent investing practices.Research done by Dalbar Inc an investment research firm found that the average equity fund investor only made average annualized returns of 4.25% over the past 20 years. To understand how big a difference this truly is, the same investor getting those returns would only turn their initial $10,000 investment into $83,000 today over the same 50 year period.People are terrible at investing, YOU are terrible at investing, and even finance industry professionals are buy and large… terrible at investing.The only real solution is to stop trying.#Investing #PersonalFinance #HowMoneyWorksEdited By: Andrew GonzalesMusic Courtesy of: Epidemic SoundSelect Footage Courtesy of: Getty ImagesFor sponsorship inquiries, please contact sponsors@worksmedia.groupAll materials in these videos are for educational purposes only and fall within the guidelines of fair use.

Data hasn’t been published for 2024 yet, but most expectations suggest this record could be broken again. At the same time it seems like every pre-revenue, pre-idea, pre-clue startup that vaguely mentions artificial intelligence is getting billions of dollars thrown at them by cashed up investors. And yet there is a problem that you may not have noticed. There just aren’t that many companies anymore. In 1996 the market hit an all time record of 8,090 companies publicly listed on the various stock markets around America. Today almost 30 years later, despite the economy being THREE times larger, and the market handling about SEVEN times as much capital, there are fewer than HALF as many companies publicly available to buy shares in. There are a lot of theories about what is going on here, from private equity making wall street irrelevant, corporate consolidation, to the dwindling savings of average investors. BUT there are some even bigger issues at play here.Follow to learn How Money Works.Find How Money Works on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@HowMoneyWorksDisclaimer: This podcast is an independently produced audio adaptation of content originally created by How Money Works.
