Rich vs Poor: Is the Economy Rigged? | Middle Ground

Our economy struggling with uncertainties, housing issues, foreclosures, global fluctuations, and pandemic aftermath, causing instability. Rising inflation, sluggish growth, and trade disruptions need urgent attention from all sectors to restore stability and stimulate growth.

It would be interesting to watch a self made rich vs inheritance rich

Addiction doesn’t disappear because you win a decent pot of cash.

The woman with the gambling addiction who thinks making more money would solve her problems is completely delusional... giving her more money would be like dumping gasoline on a fire

The first girl that assumed everyone has access to facebook really lost me, imagine living in so much privilege that you think having a phone and internet is a given

This episode was tense. Normally at the end everyone hugs each other but this time they didn’t say a word lol

If you closed your eyes and listend to each person talk about their view of the world, you can probably tell who is successful and who isnt with fairly high accuracy.

I've watched a lot of these Jubilees and this one tore me apart. This is so sad. Alot of people are stuck and can't get out of the cycle.

"being poor is a choice" sounds like something that bank robbers would say in their prep talk

Some people might lose everything out of their poor choices, but blaming general poverty on people "laziness" is a naive statement that doesn't take in consideration multiple external factors that played a role in the process.

This should really be revisited with more prompts. Would love for this discussion to go deeper.

Jubilee, you need to chill out with your quality/creativity of videos. I am addicted.

"Give me 60k and I'll stop gambling" Like dude, that's not how addiction works. She would gamble away the entire 60k in a day.

It makes me really sad that nobody even mentioned the poverty cycle. This issue definitely needs to be discussed more, preferably with people who are experts on poverty & the economy

Hanifah thank you so much for sharing your perspective and story. You made sure they kept the conversation real ❤️ much love

It is definitely a glossed over fact that many huge corporations and rich celebrities DO in fact take advantage of cheap labour in under-developed countries to further expand their wealth. And to say "Well, at least they have a job even though the pay is disgustingly low" is insane.

What people forget is that the poor literally can't save money to invest in something, go to school, etc. They're just trying to survive the DAY. I was taking the city bus for a while and would buy the monthly pass, because it's cheaper than paying for a single ride each time. I didn't understand why everyone wasn't just buying the monthly pass. It hit me that they will never be able to save the $50 at once for the pass because they're just trying to scramble enough quarters for today's fare and for something to eat.

Rich people who were once poor seem to often have incredibly blinding survivorship bias.

This was one of the more respectful and empathetic conversations on the channel

I agree with the guy who said he doesn’t want to be rich. I don’t have any real desire to be rich. I would like to be comfortable, own a home, go on some holidays but anything more than that is not needed.
