Harvard University - How has the Recession Impacted Your Life?

[XsoEmiXD]

Haha, they aren't dumb, they ain't gon buy your coin...

[Davio88]

These are all rich kids, of course their lives haven't been affected.

[lovelplants]

oh.smart answer.

[ledzeppize]

I know this is pointless but that beautiful blonde girl at 0:37 reminds me of Richard Dawkins lol

[pinkii4life94]

i look at all these people..think about how smart they are..!! i wish i wasssss that smart haha

[zsdg34]

If they actually go to Harvard I would be baffled at their level of intelligence!!!

I am in 11th grade and it seems I'm more intelligent than they are!

On top of that I'm from the Bronx ghetto!

[TyeDye07]

@zsdg34 their just book smart. street knowledge is irrelevant

[jamaalknight]

I wonder how that girl doing at Harvard university

[IDontConform]

Are you shur they go to Harvard???

[potpie921]

great video!!

[thebigfootme]

very entertaining!

[NDUBZ08]

the majors offered at Harvard College are far and few in between. The people who choose majors at Harvard are not in it for the money after graduation, instead you can find them doing more humanitarian deeds such as deworming orphans in Somalia.

[xXTheDeathReaperXx]

the guy with the headphones around his neck is cool.

[wesleyan97]

@xXTheDeathReaperXx I don't see the coolness. But he's pretty hot.

[PutriShi]

go to my campus here in Indonesia we can give so much better answer ¬_¬'

[PutriShi]

have you watch "capitalism:a love story" by Michael Moore? "unfortunately that's how the economy works"???! who said that? Adam smith? "the invisible hand man"? yeah right.. -_-' n of course the question doesn't matter to them they're Harvard! place for lots of rich kids (for the poor keep studying bro&sis n don't be bragged or pulled by the system.. God give you magnificent brain for a reason n obviously not to trick the needy)

[otherbaby]

haha good job on the interview. loved the silver coin trick!!! made me lol when they all refused. they have noooo idea. i do though, and i'm not even a "harvard student". its silver!!!! most of the students interviewed sounded so ignorant, and have no clue on what's going on. shame. I cringed alot!!! lol

[soflo23]

its funny. ill bet my life that none of these comments are from people who actually are worth a damn in society. just your local youtube trolls that are jealous they arent in the position that these young people are.

[juliaisafilmbuff123]

The Ivy Leagues would be some of the worst schools to interview students at if you're looking for honest answers as to "everyday Joes and Janes" are dealing with the economy. The vast majority of Harvard students come from elite backgrounds and have been spoon-fed elite propaganda. You should interview students at UNH.

[dons4th]

I would say that these "best and brightest" are truly ignorant. Silver Circle Crew - GREAT JOB! This video blatantly shows how little most people actually know. I knew as soon as she asked someone to buy the silver coin for $5 that these kids weren't using their brains. Currently a one ounce silver coin is valued at about $40 and the silver forecast is that it will out-perform GOLD by over 400% this year. In other words... COLLEGE STUDENTS SHOULD KNOW HOW TO RESEARCH!

[nbilkis]

wow.. so harvard kids are actually normal.

[nbilkis]

what the hell they are harvard students, i can give much better answers

[mrdanielmorrison]

My next question to her would be... Ok how how many of these coins can i buy!

[NastyChuck]

All but a couple of these kids just bs'd their questions, shows just how much they really know. If these kids really were the best and brightest, they'd be at Penn.

[NYYROCK]

@NastyChuck ? why penn over harvard... they are both full of the brightest.

[Thousand9999999999]

No body in their right mind would buy silver (especially with Silver Circle Movie logo on it) from some stranger off the street. Even if you offer them three US$10 bills, they would be hesitant to buy it for $5, because they don't know if the bills are counterfeit or not.

These guys are pretty street smart.

[johannsteve]

@Thousand9999999999 I was hoping to hear from anyone of them something along the lines of "wow, that sounds like a good deal" when offered the silver coin. But the mere lack amusement in response I think proves the point of the producers of this video. I believe that point is that most of us do not know what real money is, and naturally so, we were born and indoctrinated in a fiat currency paradigm.

[Thousand9999999999]

I heard that these are Divinity students.

[MrHeiwa07]

HE`S A DIP!!

[neuraxianfusion]

For some reason I expected all of the comments on this video to be resentful. I was right.

[iamborghini1]

If you graduate harvard... u get a piece of paper i heard...

[DaJallis]

I thought Harvard students actually studied economics. They don't seem to know much. Harvard seems to be a rip-off like most universities.

[mozaks80]

Hmmm I'd have expected these young intellectuals to be a little more... intellectual.

[bmw328idriver]

Am I the only one that notice she was giving an ounce of silver at an 80% discount. $5 dollars for an ounce of silver??? That's a real deal... Silly Harvard students not making a smart trade

[Thousand9999999999]

Good video. It's entertaining, but it's dumb--like the Fox Channel. Why would you ask those RICH Harvard students about the current economy when obviously they are not affected? Also, when you offer the silver coin, you look like someone who is trying to pull a con job. How would anyone know that what you have is indeed worth what you said???

[TheBraziliantV]

@Thousand9999999999 Im sure you've gotten tons of comments like this but not everyone at Harvard is rich, I dont know the exact percentages or anything like that but I do know some folks who have gone or currently go to Harvard and I know all three of them are not rich.

[Morrocanprincess]

oooo not too many good looking people at Harvard !

[FoodOrFail]

@ThomasAchord Lol. I thought the one guy (with the beard, black jacket brown hat) had some decent answers right up to the end. Then he turned down the ounce and I was like 'Oh MAN!' hahahhahahha

[FoodOrFail]

Me me me!! I'll buy it!! I'll buy ALL YOU'VE GOT at $5 a pop =)

[lorax2013]

Brilliant idea for a video!

[murdabitches]

I love reading all the comments from the elite youtube intellectuals.

[NSResponder]

Jesus, what a pack of insular little twits.

[JesseKantstopolis]

And people think Harvard grads are intelligent.

[FrugalFreak]

We must change the work system that is in place today. Businesses need profit to survive but at what cost to wage earners? There has to be a discontinuance of permanent temporary workers and diminishing benefits. As times are tight for regular Americans, when will Companies understand exploiting them for thier own gain will not make the economy better. Bad treatment will make a full cycle back on them by less sales from those that they pay less.

[JesseKantstopolis]

@FrugalFreak Don't like your job or employer? Quit. You are responsible for who you are and where you are in your own life.

[kevincolmergmail]

I was going to say they had no clue even before they refused to buy currency at 1/6 of its value.

[lastpatriot4America]

And this is collage kids ? You can tell which ones are there on dads dollars. Does the dean at this school hand out the LSD in the morning out in the evening ?

[Silveready1]

Harvard Huh?  Great, just when I was beginning to think we werent completetly DOOMED!

[karenbcz22]

The kid who said, "no, the economy hasn't affected me" ... and then later, "I'd get a lot of Harvard people out of the economy control" ... either he doesn't go to Harvard .. or he's a real stupid RICH kid.

Pathetic.

Totally clueless. I wonder who writes his term papers?

[rickbar123]

Don't these kids learn about Trade Policy ???  WTF!!!

One guy in talking about cycles another debt ????? WTF !!!

[MathewsWire]

Sad

[TimothyBragan]

LOL at the ending. Great post

[EastCoastAvenger]

Are you sure this wasn't at a community college?

[jacofan]

Running away from the offer of a 1 Oz silver coin for $5 is one thing. It can be argued that they were a bit cautious of a scam,however, their thoughts on where the economy will be or if they are worried about the current state of affairs is what disturbs me. There was virtually little to no difference in what the everyday man on the street said as compared to what "America's brightest minds" had to say concerning the finances of the country. It was the apathetic tone that was most concerning

[rickbar123]

@jacofan Listen to Noam Chomsky's- PROPAGANDA CD. He covers why these kids only know "The Line".

[jacofan]

@rickbar123 - Thanks...but I am no fan of Chomsky..I have 3 of his books and was somewhat a fan of his but not now. I find he is turning his"fans" away from the bigger picture of what it is that is causing so much misery in the world. If he ain't talking about the IMF, International Bank of settlements, world bank...he isn't saying anything of value. He talks about American empirical power and it's take over of the world, which is not the "whole truth". IMF...IMF...IMF... There are your culprits

[rickbar123]

@jacofan We must agree to disagree on NC. Yes, I am with you on the IMF. The IMF is the end of the road.

[666sigma]

@rickbar123

Chomsky is a putz.

[rickbar123]

@666sigma you smoke crack

[666sigma]

@rickbar123

So does Chomsky. You probably think Keynes spoke the truth, too. I get a kick out of closed minded intellectuals who sole purpose is to proof their biases are correct. Chomsky is right up there with Limbaugh and Beck, but I guess his views are more valid because he doesn't make as much money selling them. He can't because he is putz.

[rickbar123]

@666sigma you smoke alot of crack

[666sigma]

@rickbar123

I prefer meth.

[JesseKantstopolis]

@666sigma And he works for the CIA

[cetnik03]

lol this is the hope for future america??? kids are ignorant dumb asses, who have rich parents, they have no clue whats going on, america is fuked! $ 5 for silver oz, and they refuse? lmao!

[continuityofliberty]

"Harvard, Princeton, Yale - Bullets, Bombs, and Banks" (Celente)

When will you reproduce the Silver Circle coins?

[hbeachrealist]

@continuityofliberty

LAUGH MY FUCKING ASS OFF, HOMEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[gary97209]

If the same questions were asked of the interviewer you would get nonsensical answers also...maybe not the same...but equally nonsensical. :)

And by the way they reacted they probably automatically viewed the coin buying offer as a scam...much as my initial knee-jerk reaction would be. :)

[nayanmalig]

@gary97209 i agree. they would have thought it was sales talk to soften up. but it' amazing that they did not even consider the price or value. like "what ? silver at 5$?". they just ran away. they probably never knew silver existed as money. the education system of the world, created by the wealthy to fool the masses sucks.

[TheReallitycheck]

Harvard students, damn, may god help us all! I heard a buntch of parrots repeating what the MSM says. And that for a few grand in debt,... if your lucky when you get your worthless peice of paper. Foolish children.

[jizzleone1]

Nice , these idiots don't even know what's the new game is , great vid

[1mealperday]

Very sad to see our university students be so ignorant of current reality. If these are the best and brightest in our country...God save us.

[Only1Transporter]

Good. So when the masses catch on to silver it will bubble up and I'll sell mine.

[momentinpassing]

The guy in the dog sweater was just thinkin "a beautiful girl is talkin to me! a beautiful girl is takin to me!"

not his fault he didn't buy the coin.

[momentinpassing]

A good economy encourages people to do things that are net positive for both them, and others (such as caring for ecology), and discourages net negative behavior. The solution is a mix of security of person, property, ones own ideas for a time, access to good information & markets, protection from deceit and other predation, broad access to the means of production, a way to fairly exchange value. Capitalism and communism are flawed when they scale up and in practice = slavery. Best way is mixed.

[womtullymun]

scary isn't it?

bright kids but as usual the main street media is not informing people of gravity of the situation here.

too bad there isn't a Max and Stacy channel on mainstream tv.

this wouldn't be allowed though.

silvercircle. let me know when you are going to be at harvard next and i'll buy a few coins from you for $5

[flaviandd]

Yes, they are quite naive and probabbly have no idea what a silver coin is worth.

But I wouldn't buy silver or gold on the street either... ;)

[MrGAB4444]

Clueless

[charlesfuchs]

Harvard idiots, they are all programmed to get jobs and be slaves to the system. Its not the say, were in 15 trillion and the death of the dollar is coming.

[nayanmalig]

there's lots of arguments about what money is. Quiz - a person discovers that his grandfather has left him 4 items 70 years ago. he finds them. a gold bar, a rolls royce car, a 100 dollar bill & a tally stick. which of these today is 1) easily turned into cash 2) that has not degraded 3) has accumulated in value 3) can be used to make something of value 4) that takes little space 5) can be given to his grand children to retain the same / more value? which one has all these properties ?

[TheSilverMeister]

@nayanmalig Great comment and irrefutable point.

[nayanmalig]

@TheSilverMeister thanks. the answer is so obvious that i did not even mention it. GOLD! been thinking about how to present my point for years. I may have hit the jack pot. many called me "gold bug". or "silver bug". but without any effective counter point. human beings being intelligent have a penchant for recognizing real value. that's why no govt can legislate gold out of the monetary system. for 5,000 yrs gold has been the real money & always will be. aalternate views are welcome.

[sickoftards]

i like the guy though who says get the harvard people out of economy control...!!

[sickoftards]

just shows you....

david brooks says look at the under 30 and will make you forget about those ideas of americas decline. how fking wrong is he. my experience is that the young people are dippy and way too optimistic

[TheSilverMeister]

*shakes head*

[joost1v]

LOL What a STUPID morons!!!!. They really don't know whats going on in the financial world and in the world. And those no brainers will become the leaders in the US ? They even doesn't want to buy ounze of silver for 5 dollar. LOL

[mikethebodacious]

@joost1v Don't worry, when they graduate college and go to look for a job they'll learn the hard way like I did. EVERY college student is completely naive until they get to the REAL WORLD. They'll wake the fuck up, just like every other graduate has coming into this economy. I can't blame them for not buying the silver, as they have been taught since an early age that precious metals are worthless just like everyone student has been indoctrinated into that bullshit belief.

[Danster82]

Taking the mickey out of stupid people is not nice or fair.

Leave them university folk alone to their closed up neatly wrapped up curriculum's.

[vinny1010]

WOW, these guys are in for a rude awakening. But let's be realistic here, of course students aren't that much affected by the economy; They're in school, school is their life, loans usually pay for all their education. I know many people who think they can "ride" it out hoping economy will pick back up when they get out of school. It's not going to work

[capncrunch93able]

The silver coin confused them because it wasn't made of plastic and didn't have 'Made in China' printed on it.

[mikethebodacious]

@capncrunch93able Just keep buying precious metals, screw these naive Harvard students. More silver for the realists, not these naive optimists :D

[laabo]

Wow, really "BRILLIANT" Harvard students!! I am really impressed. . . .

And they are supposed to lead us to the future!?!? They know more about economy than my little son. They are pathetic!

[blokeatone]

Are you sure these aren't Whitehouse staffers??

[SuperEye2eye]

I actually thought they did ok..under pressure. cmon...most guys their age have only two things on their mind....beer and ladies. Recession..what recession :)

[SabsCarter16]

don't be so hard on them. we all know they wouldn't be in Harvard if they weren't very bright students. if some news reporter randomly walked up to you and asked you questions about a very complicated subject like this you would be caught off guard. these kids are working hard, give them some credit.

[stillgettingolder]

THAT IS WHY MY CHILDREN ARE NOT GOING TO UNIVERSITY (ROTTEN BRAIN WASH SCAM)....

[TheSilverWatch]

Sad,...very sad. They don't understand the value of Silver ! WOW !

[goldcurrent1]

Not really, no.. I'm unaffected by the recession because mommy and daddy pay to have someone wipe my ass while covering my tuition for U of Dumb as Fuck, so I can graduate and get a job waiting tables in America's service economy. More water, ma'am?

[laabo]

@goldcurrent1 lol ! Like me you love Celente ; )

[nieldsb]

if those are its students we are so screwed

[epxroot76]

I'll buy it for 5 bucks!

[mciarleglio]

@3.40 its still our little secret. 

[bigdreamerforeva]

i am not very impressed with these Harvard students!

[paranormalg35]

that dude had a narly mustache!! lol

[paranormalg35]

i blame our education system.. you only know what they teach right? You have to SEEK the truth to know it.
