I’m dubious about any YouTube personality and Gary Stevenson is no exception. But his message is simple:

- the reason living standards is going down is the rich have all the money
- the rich have a lot of money making machines, they have so much money they can only use it to buy up the remaining money making machines (e.g. your mum’s house, and your future starter home). This is real, it was literally my job.
- in a more equal economy other issues (*cough*immigration*cough*) would be more of a factor, and we still have to acknowledge that, but if you redistributed wealth from the uber wealthy we would not all be in the shitter right now and they’d still be rich AF. Right now the other issues are just a wedge to make us fight over crumbs.
- the super rich are tied geographically to their assets (AKA the money making machines), it’s a lot easier to tax them then they’d like you to think
