@Treblaine yh but I think it's more a comment on the strange materialness of it all: like paper money isnt actually worth anything so it's just a bit fun
"type some extra zeros' ... this is exactly what they DO do, this is where inflation starts. essentially.
fractional reserve banking, on steroids.
sick really. and yet we are all soo fucking tied into it, we could never fight it.
love david mitchell though!, he should totally get into politics at least then i would give a fuck about what they do and i would even give a vote for the first time in my life :)
there's absolutely NO FUCKING way the head owners of each bank don't just type several zeros on the end of whatever numbers in THEIR account behind closed doors whenever they feel like it - GUARANTEED.
@jayrockwell33 I'm sorry but the bankers in this country are cunts. I am not on about the average employee the customer interfces with, they are alright, helpful seemingly decent people, I mean the bank directors. they are all cunts to a T and their bonuses are just bloody stupid, you should not get paid a bonus for fucking up then say "oh, we have to lay off hard working bottom level staff because we need to cut costs" when it is all in their fucking back pockets. OUR money!
@F12Y14N25 your right. but until they actually come to your doorstep and piss on peoples faces, people just don't care. moan moan moan - so fucking what? what are you going to do about it anyway, what is ANYONE going to do? fuck all. exactly.
@jayrockwell33 well what I do is I don't trust the fuckers with my money, basicly I do all I can do at this time and say "no fuck you, you are not getting my money" infact a bank called me up giving some spiel and I said exactly that.
@jayrockwell33 (part 2) they are taking our money! entire bank accounts lost due to this collapse and fucking cunts like fred goodwin just took money out of his bank and ran, not his accounts, other people's and yet this is legal? it is theft simple as, but is obscured by red tape and regulations so "it isn't as simple as that" it is as simple as that! They are all theives and we should burn them
This is what gets me. The economy is a fictional system that mostly exists in cyberspace and only continues to function the way it does because of the collective belief of the people who continually stand to loose something while some other cunts keep the game runing for their own benefit. Why can't we just say "actually, everyone, we've all agreed that everyone's money is worth more now, we're adjusting the way we work this stuff out since it's all pretty much arbitrary to begin with anyway."
when my dad was explaining how the economy worked to me when i asked back in primary that was the first thing I said!! minus all the stuff about south american pigs dying of blight etc. of course
"... and i think its just a load of wind turbine kept running mate cv back to the taliban that drunk to anyone bad things happen is like all the pigs in south america suddenly died of blacks"
It seems like what he's saying is true, unfortunately it's not. Though the "numbers" that he's talking about are not something you can touch, it's not imagined that the average person has less to spend, and if there is no money to spend, there is nothing to drive business. It's not as simple as realizing that it's all just numbers, the numbers are owed debts, they are supply and demand, they are unemployment and they are GDP. I like David Mitchell, but he's not sufficiently trained in economics.
David Mitchell is a funny man, and if I had thought that everyone thought he was just joking around, then I would have said nothing. But this is clearly his personal opinion on the economic crisis and a lot of people seem to agree with his ramblings and are taking it to heart. I just want people to realize that modern economic theory holds quite a large bit of legitimacy, and economists are not the fools that comedians often make them out to be.
They do no such thing. One of the first things you learn in Economics 101 is ceteris paribus. We can only make predictions based on what is true right now and we can only account for variables that currently exist. Any real economist will tell you that they cannot predict what new variables will arise or how certain variables may change. Even if it may not be 100% accurate, but just like in the case of weather, it's useful to try to prepare for the future, so why not try?
Because studying school A or school B of economics would magically resolve the point he's raising? Going to seminary doesn't make god more real.
His point is still valid, NOTHING bad has happened, NO resources have been destroyed, only theoretical value that didn't really exist. That's the point.
he is so right. We didn't loose any stock here in the west. It's just our money is becoming less ever so worthless as other countries in the east are progressing with actual wealth while we a slowliy loosing what we have backed up our money with; technology. Other countries can produce what we produce now, not as good but they are getting there, at the same time they are independent as they grow near as much as they eat. In effect what we base our curency on is becomig worthless.
People were allowed to "buy" houses in America that they couldn't afford, because the people who loaned them the money knew that they wouldn't be on the hook if they had to default. Unfortunately, banks around the world and huge insurance companies decided they WOULD be on the hook.
So there are lots of people in houses that they committed to pay for at a much higher price than they can actually pay. That's the only semi-real part.
This has been the temptation with money since the invention of money, but what kept it in check until recently was that Gold and Silver are finite - you only have so much. When you can print money based on nothing and call it valuable then you have a situation where you are so tempted to print all you want regardless of what that might do to prices. Then you get inflation, which is effectively a tax, as Milton Friedman pointed out.
Even though this clip is really funny, the best part is that there's more truth in the words of David Mitchell than all politicians combined. Go figure.
All modern money is fiction. Now, it isn't even paper! There is not enough paper in the world to print fiat currency to cover the fictional "debt" we supposedly "owe."
Modern money is an illusion created from thin air; a series of 1's & 0's in electronic machines.
@Girlycard33 it was the Royal bank of Scotland he said, Not the whole of Scotland. We're not just one central bank.
And I really dislike how you're implying that the nation of Scotland is the subject there. When it could easily just be, for comic effect, "I love how Frankie just laughs after Dara says that the Royals were investing in toxic futures"
So lets not try an imply something that wasn't there to begin with shall we.
Calm down, I meant no offense. I was more meaning to comment on how I love Frankie's laughter that always seems to be there in the background at the most inappropriate moments in the show, not on the joke itself. Truthfully I have absolutely no idea what that joke was even about.
@TheDragonOfWhi jeepers... you scots take offence at everything.... and an apology was made. why not crawl back under your deep fried mars bar and drink some carlsberg export
@tarapinkerton Since I've never eaten or drank either of those things, I'd thank you if you could use better stereotypes. The former is something we only hawk out to English tourists, and the later we wouldn't drink because we have this thing called Tennents which is usually cheaper.
And if we're using stereotypes should I then at this point mention how you're probably rich off ill gotten gold gains?
I thought not.
So could we leave stereotyping where it belongs. I.E. left behind.
@TheDragonOfWhi sure you can say what you want... i won't take offence... I would dispute the gold reference though, just not take offence.
Sure, Scots do not eat deep fried food or drink too much, although the very high levels of liver and heart disease would paint a different story. Take offence of you like, I think its probably better to take some remedial action.
I already explained that this WASN'T a diss to Scotland, or anything to do with Scotland, so there is nothing to maintain being angry about. Also, this wasn't even meant to be funny, it was really just a comment.
@Girlycard33 I'm not easily offended. If I was I wouldn't watch mock the week. And I'm not angry. I'm just pointing out to you, what clearly has never been pointed out to you before, in that you should always be mindful of what you say. Even if it is just in a YouTube comment. Just because you're typing doesn’t mean you can turn off your brain and just bash away at the keyboard. Think before you speak, or in this case, type.
I assure you, I did not "turn off my brain and bash at the keyboard". I agree that I could have phrased what I said differently and I can understand how you could have misinterpreted it, but I did leave the comment I meant to leave. I'm sorry that it was misinterpreted and I was happy to clear up the confusion, but I won't apologize for leaving a comment that truthfully had no intent of offense or insult.

umm, no, something did happen. A HUGE economic engine churned away and fed the addiction of the western world, consumerism! leaving behind the rest of the world to deal with our puke and faeces!
Shit happened you asshole! You have no idea of your impact on this planet. Sitting there on TV talking out of your ass! You are probably in debt and live an unsustainable lifestyle, stfu and leave topics like this alone you fcking ignorant twat!
@Goontron And if it wasn't for consumerism, the world economy would be even worse off because to make money, you have to spend money. First rule of any business.
@Whiteisrightful What an incredible racially-charged point, you have given me a lot to think about; excuse me whilst i go and rethink my whole moral philosophy.
Jim Lehrer retired from the PBS Newshour over here in the states. So there is an job opening, and you would be a most welcome addition to the news media in the USA.
Please consider. We will pay you one million bazillion dollars for a salary.
@mojocatt david in america would be awsome. i think he would be the suprem ruler of america single handed after a week just by shouting at every thing
Funny, i admit but what happens is inflation,job losses,repossesions- so you cant make light of it really. and its coming to a town near you once america collapses!
@blasphemator Fred Goodwin, I'm pretty sure this is common knowledge :/ what did you want me to say? 'It was the man, man' I don't get what you learned from this. It doesn't say anything about me or my opinion. How is all the bankers fault when he was the one who fucking ruined the bank, with his oversized salary. You're a nobhead.
@dubdesignnet I was watching episodes of Lovejoy on YouTube and accidentally turned that on. Nearly died laughing at the weird stuff it managed to produce.
@GeorgeW88 I don't think so...I think that Mark has pretty well bought into the capitalist system, even if he acknowledges its ridiculousness. Peep Show never makes it clear, but I'm pretty sure that Mark is a 'Tony in 97, Cameron in 10' type of person, whereas David Mitchell is more of an uncomfortable lefty.

God, people like this who blame bankers or politicians rather than the global economic system really do sound like narrow-minded asshats.

umm, no, something did happen. A HUGE economic engine churned away and fed the addiction of the western world, consumerism! leaving behind the rest of the world to deal with our puke and faeces!
Shit happened you asshole! You have no idea of your impact on this planet. Sitting there on TV talking out of your ass! You are probably in debt and live an unsustainable lifestyle, stfu and leave topics like this alone you fcking ignorant twat!

@Goontron And if it wasn't for consumerism, the world economy would be even worse off because to make money, you have to spend money. First rule of any business.

They have just beern typing extra numbers into the banks computer for many years.
They could only do that for so many years until someone noticed and then the s**t hit the fan.
But in the meantime, they had all received their million pound bonuses for the fake profits they had declared.

David-
Jim Lehrer retired from the PBS Newshour over here in the states. So there is an job opening, and you would be a most welcome addition to the news media in the USA.
Please consider. We will pay you one million bazillion dollars for a salary.

@blasphemator Fred Goodwin, I'm pretty sure this is common knowledge :/ what did you want me to say? 'It was the man, man' I don't get what you learned from this. It doesn't say anything about me or my opinion. How is all the bankers fault when he was the one who fucking ruined the bank, with his oversized salary. You're a nobhead.

GeorgeW88 10 months ago
@GeorgeW88 I don't think so...I think that Mark has pretty well bought into the capitalist system, even if he acknowledges its ridiculousness. Peep Show never makes it clear, but I'm pretty sure that Mark is a 'Tony in 97, Cameron in 10' type of person, whereas David Mitchell is more of an uncomfortable lefty.
