What if the NEET / hiki phenomenon is part of a elaborate government plan? Could it be that we are just victims?
Think about it... in the 1950s, and 1960s, unemployment in western countries was rare. People got could get jobs straight out of highschool.

Today, in some countries, over 50% of young males are unemployed. Nearly all the unemployed are males. Politicians aren't dumb, they knew that rising taxes, regulations, lowering tariffs and so on during the 1980s and 1990s, would eventually lead to outsourcing. What do they hope to gain by driving us into squalor, maybe even debt in some cases? Is it because the unemployed are easier to control? What is their agenda? Please help me understand.

Unless your country was still involved in the war/a war, the females were back out of the workforce at this time, roughly 50% of the human population. They came back in the early 80s and continued in greater numbers to this very day, strange then that white males are having a harder time finding work, white specifically becuase of the larger numbers of immigrants who move just to find work, or better working conditions and are hired more often becuase of favorable laws due to things like affirmative action.

Basically, it's not the government, it's the marxists, and the jews.

There is no such thing as the silent majority because we control their cry and hue. The only thing that exists is an unthinking majority and unthinking they will remain, as long as their escape from our rigorous service is the opiate of our entertainment industry. By controlling industry, we have become the task masters and the people the slaves. When the pressure of daily toil builds to an explosive degree, we have provided the safety valve of momentary pleasure. The television and movie industries furnish the necessary temporary distraction. These programs are carefully designed to appeal to the sensuous emotions, never to the logical thinking mind. Because of this, the people are programmed to respond according to our dictates, not according to reason. Silent they never are; thinking they will remain.

"Since I entered politics, I have chiefly had men's views confided to me privately. Some of the biggest men in the United States, in the field of commerce and manufacture, are afraid of somebody, are afraid of something. They know that there is a power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that they had better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it.
They know that America is not a place of which it can be said, as it used to be, that a man may choose his own calling and pursue it just as far as his abilities enable him to pursue it; because to-day, if he enters certain fields, there are organizations which will use means against him that will prevent his building up a business which they do not want to have built up; organizations that will see to it that the ground is cut from under him and the markets shut against him. For if he begins to sell to certain retail dealers, to any retail dealers, the monopoly will refuse to sell to those dealers, and those dealers, afraid, will not buy the new man's wares.”

The world is pricing labor at below human dignity levels now. This is really only one countries fault.

China has a rising middle class and they will tear themselves apart sooner or later with the greying and other massive issues they face.

you will likely not get an inheritance, a severly devalued house because the boomers didn't have enough kids to fill them, inflated dollar if you save, very specialized career that may be replaced with robots/chinese children /3d printing,etc.

Capitalism is a phase, and we're living through its denouement. As technology advances, scarcity diminishes. With less scarcity, there is less need to work; however, when the model of sustenance is built upon working to receive a living wage, you ironically find more and more people unable to sustain themselves as technology improves. The problem lies not with technology, but with the outdated model.

You don't have to look far to see examples of this contradiction of capitalism in our modern society. Companies are deliberately making decisions that result in inferior products or preventing markets from obtaining their goods to protect their profits. Have you ever realized that a free pirated version of DRM-laden game is actually the superior version of the product, quality wise? Furthermore, why do some Japanese companies refuse to export their VNs or anime to the West, where they could be enjoyed and appreciated by a greater number of people and put their company on the map? Because domestic customers could import from countries with a weaker currency to save money, resulting in fewer overall profits despite greater sales.

Technology has advanced to the point where capitalism can't keep up, and corporations are hoping to influence the government to create anti-technology laws in their favor to stay relevant. Filesharing is a marvelous technological advancement that any sane nation would celebrate, but our authorities want it to be "theft."

Since all NEETs are a crippling tumor in an economy. A high number of them raises taxes for the growing need in government assistance. This results in even greater need for government assistance, further draining the economy etc. An economy that unhealthy causes a far greater average debt per individual, obviously. This of course, all turns into profit for the banks, as every indebted citizen is like a fountain of money to the banks.

Of course, NEETs could also be simply a by product/unintended bonus to their cultivation of an unhealthy economy.

Economy was different. Key economic indicators were different. A country's wealth could be measured by how many cars it produced. No and low skill labor paid well and life wasn't expensive. The US government was actively getting people to settle down and own property.

Times have changed. Manufacturing can't hire just ANYONE, life's expensive and the government would have you believe that state aid for home ownership is fucking communism. Employee pay can't keep pace with a market where some guy in Asia will do the same job for a fraction of the price. And the good old boys network is effectively dead unless you know someone who owns a private business.

>>9805045
Long story short after the war we needed more people to fill industries, and someone figured out, for better or for worse, that we needed to put women on the line. I won't go back that far in history but basically this is what happened :

With women in the line for work, businessmen foresaw an opportunity, a GOOD opportunity. Back in the days, men didn't really waste their money on useless things like fashion and such since they were mostly interested about their work/house and family, but women would a lot, especially if they were told that "being alone and independant is OK". So the plan was to give power to them while putting them in competition so they would need more money to show their worth. A woman not in the house is a woman that the market can exploit.

Just think about it for a second. Women nowadays are either working as "strong independants businesswomen", money for society, or even if they're single mothers law will allow them to steal >50% of their husband income, which means more money for society again. An interesting fact is that the people living in the streets are mostly, if not all, men.

>> No.9832381

>>9832219
Nope. If there's a problem it's globalization. There's no good way to keep competitive wages in an industry that's basically run on unskilled labor and automated assembly lines.

Raising minimum wage doesn't actually help anything. Just makes employers hire fewer employees and / or force more work out of the ones they have. And at a broader level it just inflates the value of currency.

In REALLY bad cases like with GM and their unions the wages got so far out of hand that the reality really is just that GM was paying absurd wages for shitty labor. For anyone who wasn't an idiot and worked for GM its no mystery why they've spent so much time in the last three decades being beyond awful.

True, but it is only a part of it.
One big reason is "everything is made in china".
Fucking everything. Even pharmaceuticals and fine chemicals. Which is quite annoying since these are high value items anyway, so you aren't actually saving much by going to china.
But, the feedstock low value chemicals are made in china so you save on transportation costs.

I'd say that's what it comes down to. Transportation costs. Technology needs to be working on cheap transportation if we are to survive as a species. Even if it's cheap and highly efficient batteries in ships and trucks that can be charged by the nearest nuclear power station.
Or maybe, when transport costs get a lot higher than they are now (give it 30 years), importing and exporting become prohibitively expensive.

It's that we're in this awkward middle ground of kind of cheap transport, but actually kinda expensive. I guess.
But the main stipulation is that everything is made in china. Everything. The materials needed to make higher value goods, the higher value goods, the raw materials needed to make the materials, everything.
And the west was just buying these things on borrowed money for years, assuming that the money would end up back in the country, or something. Now our debts are bottoming out, and the super rich and china are holding it all.

Why would you? you already own 90% of the world's money, there's no point investing it to gain the other 10%, especially considering the risks.

>>9832611
Nah, it's more likely that they were like 'okay, I'll stash 1% of my profits for a rainy day every year', and then 30 years later it turns out to be a trillion dollars. This 12 trillion is spread over like 5000 people, so it's not like one man owns everything yet.

You have to understand the mindset of someone who makes that much money. Spending the money just isn't in their understanding. They made that much money by careful cutting out of expenses. Every expense, every wasteful expenditure of money gets cut out.
If these super rich did actually fund huge research labs into anti-aging, there would be more fucking jobs.
Oh, and one more point, if the rich started spending all that money, taxation would get in the way.

Oh wait they can't because it's money they hid from the taxman. You have to realise why this money is hidden. It's hidden money. They hide the money away, that's the entire point of it.

Why do these people continue making money when they already have more than they could even want to spend? Do they just continue out of habit?

This system, worked in the past because companies were not giant conglomerates. People would get paid, and their money would go to many many different business, to many many different people. The local barber, the local grocery store, the computer store, the local petrol station (let me explain this one.)
The barber would buy supplies from his state's sharp things manufacturer, which would use steel from the local steelworks. Petrol station would buy refined oil from one of many global oil giants, maybe the local texan one. Or the local scottish one. Oil companies are pretty national, so it's borderline. Groceries are from local farmers, even the more processed stuff, which was made in factories that were in the country.
All money was spread around.
Now it's the same few people that own all grocery stores, they own all chocolate bars, they produce all sharp things, etc. It's a bit of a generalisation and the actual things might be off, but the point still stands.

I hope you're right. It may just be that they've deluded themselves into believing that their actions are actually good for the economy. He'll look at how many people he's employing, how much money he's making, and he'll say that of course he's doing good. He's making so much money for the economy. Hell by that point he IS the economy, so his success directly translates to economic success for the entire country.

If it's possible to inform these people that their actions are actually heavily damaging, it might work.
A law that reduces the size of the maximum nest-egg of any one person to say, 5 million dollars would be nice. But I fear that this law already exists, and the money going to the cayman islands is to circumvent this.
Hell, maybe declare war (or embargos) on all the tax havens until they change their ways.

No, they're boring. They spend 80% of their waking hours collecting money and getting richer, so they don't have time to consider the effects of what they're doing. Even though they don't have a reason to get more money anymore. Think about it like this; why does anyone have more than 500,000 dollars? No-one person needs more than that amount of money, ever. The simple existence of people richer than a million shows that they can't stop.

The house sure didn't cost 500,000 to build.
The value comes from its demand, and the availability of the rich prepared to spend so much money on desirable property. If no-one had more than 500,000, house prices would come right down.
And where does that 500,000 go? It goes to the previous owners, who are also rich. Not super rich, but just rich. No money goes to society.
But this is house exchanges, it's fine that no money goes to society, because at most it's only a few million that is exchanged.

I haven't even covered the most disgusting class of super rich- the bankers.
These people become super rich, not from selling things, not from producing things, but from taking money from others. They trick people into giving them money.
That's a summary of how it works.
In reality, what happens is that they are trading agreements, debts, assurances, and other things that are not actually tied to real things, constantly, with every transaction giving them a little bit of profit. Buy low, sell high. They take the profits from society to give them to themselves.
This is legal theft on a grand scale, but it's perfectly legal since it's disguised in 'trades' and 'markets'. They take little bits of money from every part of society, and put it all in the same place: the Cayman islands.
Someone who understands the system better could pinpoint exactly who they're stealing money from, but the answer is everyone.
At least when you buy cheap chinese crap you get something for your money. But this money ends up in the business you bought it from, and parts of this business are cut up and traded, and 99.99% of the value is put back into the business. The 0.01% is taken and put into financial firms. This happens every day. 0.01% of the world's wealth, every day (substitute actual numbers/timelines), and 10000 days later, no-one has any money.
This started in the 70s, and now no western government has any money. Our time is up, the money has been drained, the super rich need to die.

that's what the whole holocaust thing was for. The Jews had a whole bunch of gold and silver in their mansions, so he dragged them out, put them in camps to remove body gold, raided their houses for the gold and valuables in there, sold them to switzerland and built his war machine from the money he got.
