[Music] hey YouTube Alex here today I want to talk about the topic they don't want you to leave so there's this debate in a number of you could say expa communities do they want us to leave do they
want to prevent us to leave this is going to be taking the side of the debate where they want you to leave or they don't care if you leave your home country I'm of course an American so I'm
a bit us Centric I just want to preface this video with that because you may be from a different country and some of these points may be less relevant to you some maybe more relevant to you so without
further Ado let's get into it so the first reason as to why they don't care if you leave is that it actually reduces inflation it pulls dollars out of the system so there are fewer dollars competing for resources
there's less demand for food there's less demand for shelter there's less demand for transportation they would rather have younger workers willing to work for Less pay putting Demand on this infrastructure because because they get more bang for their
Buck out of these people economically for example a young worker simply just doesn't put the same Demand on the healthc Care Systems that an older worker places on that same system and so they're always evaluating the population for
input versus output and the powers to be want to minimize input and maximize output the United States in particular is run like a business and the leadership of every single Corporation or business is thinking about what do we
putting in and what are we getting out what is it that costs us money and what is the product that we put out when they think of older retire people who are going to be net takers from the
system at that age I hear from friends all the time they want to raise the Social Security limit they want to dismantle certain social programs a lot of this is to try to a lot of this is to
try to save money now this is particularly true for veterans I spoke with a veteran friend recently the Veterans Administration is saving something like 30 to $40,000 per year in benefits and payouts and health care and different kinds
of services the veterans are owed in return for their contributions and sacrifices we see this with the United Health Care situation and the denial of claims they want you to pay into the systems and then not withdraw from
the system that's why people get a benefit for delaying their withdrawal is what the system is hoping is that these people won't make it until their withdrawal date the calculation is cumulatively that they'll pay out less if people
delay their date of withdrawals why would they care about retaining people who are not at their economic output Peak but are at their peak in terms of Demand on resources why do you think the majority of people coming
are young this idea though that they don't want you to leave is easily disproven in the sense that if they really didn't want people to leave they would just make it harder for people to leave they would just
make getting a passport harder they'd make it more difficult they'd have some kind of competency test like they do for their driver's license which maybe they should have right maybe they should have a competency test for a passport
that would probably prevent issues but yeah I mean it wouldn't be so easy to get a passport if preventing people from leaving was a goal for American leadership now keep an eye out for a video contradicting the sentiment
that I express in this video I think just as good a case can be made for they don't care if you leave as they don't want you to leave personally I think the future of the US is rich
people and their servants but that's a different discussion for a different day personally I lean toward they don't care I think it would just be a lot harder to leave the us if they didn't want people to do
so there's ways that they could set things up to make it a lot harder to leave they could make the passport $1,000 they could make you have to get a permit they could make you have to jump through
any number of Hoops and as it stands it's fairly easy to leave I think most people with professional jobs could afford to take an international vacation business business owner same deal the barrier to entry has gone down in
proportion to incomes international travel in particular has come down a lot in relation to incomes the next point is that you don't put a burden on the Health Care System the housing system the infrastructure in general uh your
usage of these systems it takes up resources for these facilities to have them occupying limited real estate obviously with food it takes takes money to produce the food it takes money to store the food it takes resources to
cook and prepare the food and then you got plumbers and once month over it's not free to sustain a population in terms of time and effort and all of those important things that we need to live um not
just to get ahead but just to exist also you don't need a job Americans are used to a certain standard of living and have to be productive to attain or maintain that standard of living they most Americans are
not willing to do very basic jobs past their teenage years most people don't want to pick fruit most people do not want to clean toilets most people do not want to wash dishes that's the job I did I
was a dishwasher when I was in high school most people don't want to do these jobs for very long and they're also not sustainable especially as they get older they have more financial responsibilities they may have families although
that's less and less the case these days they have obligations they have to meet financially that they are not able to meet with a normal job so the society has to come up with jobs that are higher value
ad such that those people don't lose it I've heard some people talk about social instability it's going to come as a consequence of there being fewer what you could call Elite level jobs available jobs in finance jobs in
technology which have taken a h right layoffs are still ongoing a lot of people have lost jobs I lost my job in summer of 2023 there's a lot of consolidation in those Industries Point number three is that taxation
still applies the US is one of only two countries that taxes its citizens abroad and so they're still going to be able to collect their taxes unless you were to renounce your citizenship which most people are not willing
to do because the downsides outweigh the benefits for most people people they're still going to get their money regardless of where you live whether you're in timbuk 2 or you're in Thailand or you're in Thailand they're still going
to get paid their tax revenue all the Americans I know still fulfill their tax obligations they still pay their taxes they file their taxes every year I do the same thing I don't know anybody that doesn't do that
and I think that will continue for the foreseeable future I haven't heard of the US leadership making any plans or announcements about changing that I don't see it happening I think that will stay the same with filing online
it's easier than ever you don't have to necessarily go and see a CPA especially if you've got a simple return you can use Turbo Tax and I'll throw a link to Turbo Tax down the description below if you
are looking to file early I know it's just January but I know some people will still want to file now at this point with the amount of money printing I think that taxation more so than to raise revenues
is more designed to just kind of suck money out of the system reduce inflation pull money out of the system more so than hey we're going to pay for this or hey we're going to pay for that you
can see with the substantial national debt I don't see Americans being able to pay off that national debt anytime soon through taxation alone I mean you'd have to make massive changes to the system to be able to restructure
things you'd have to cut a lot of spending you'd have to raise taxes substantially tax hikes are never popular and cutting spending is also not very popular like let's say you're an expat you're living overseas you're living from
the proceeds of a business back in the state then even if you don't personally pay taxes your employees will pay taxes so they will actually have to pay taxes on their income they will have to pay taxes on
their purchases if they're in a state with sales tax like the state I'm from produces majority of its Revenue through sales tax so even if you personally are not paying the taxes that doesn't mean somebody else is not
paying the taxes to some extent on your behalf I don't know if that framing exactly makes sense but finally there is the hidden tax of inflation which the US exports through the Petro dollar I'm not going to get
into that too much in this video only to say that the US supplies much of the world with oil and there are business agreements in place that other countries have to purchase US dollars to purchase that oil in
the US being the world Reserve currency they can print those dollars at will if you live overseas long enough you'll notice inflation is not limited to the US you'll also notice this if you make multiple trips overseas I
definitely noticed an increase in prices here in Southeast Asia Point number four is the military and I hear a couple of critiques oh they might Institute a draft soon I doubt that and the number two critique I hear
a lot is oh we have this woke military now and neither takes into consideration now of course I'm a Layman so take this with a grain of salt although I've run this idea or these thoughts by friends of
mine who are veterans the US military in 2024 is not fighting tons of boots on the ground style conflicts much of the conflicts are one through technology through drone technology drones are becoming a bigger and bigger thing for
the US military every single year none of this is like private information this isn't like insid or Intel or something you can look up news articles I happen to own some shares and defense companies and if you're thinking
oh the woke military the woke military they don't really need personnel to the same extent that they did in the past to go and be foot soldiers they need people to operate technology they need people to Pilot drones
they need people who are good at operating technology transporting technology repairing technology making technology more efficient Engineers that kind of personnel much more so than they need gii Joe to be running around on the battlefield and the beautiful
thing about technology is it safer we don't have to risk people's well-being in the same way that we did before drone technology we have ways of asserting dominance that are much safer and more cost effective I mean benefits
for military personnel are expensive I know because my grandfather was career military they paid out tons of money to my family in benefits and health care and pensions you have no idea how much my family has benefited financially
from his service to the United States but these critiques of a woke military are really just copium to deal with the fact that we have a lot of extra Americans and it's not readily apparent on how our society
or how our system can deal with them in a humane way we just don't have the need in the context of a draft situation even if there was a draft retired expats would be the last people to be
drafted just because of health and age concerns if you can't tell I'm not a fan of Doomsday predictions it's Peter what's name that successfully predicted 99 of the last three recessions or Market downturns the gold Bug Guy the
fifth and final Point here is that immigration is a substitute when you have a declining population and you could say the US born population has been in Decline for decades now really a lot of people point at the
oil shock of 1971 as being the pivotal Factor where birth rat started to decline because there was because there was a disruption in the oil supply and the result of that was that the price of oil went up
and that everything that relies on oil to be transported also went up in price and so that was where you really saw a spike in cost of living you also hear the phrase stagflation is having applied to the'
70s so Cost of Living went up but economic growth or productivity did not go up there's also the element of Nixon taking the country off the gold standard and then also the hard seller Immigration Act of 1965 where
immigration was basically opened up wide open the result of this is that the leadership doesn't really need people to have kids in the way that they used to I know one time there was discussion that there would be
overpopulation Now American leadership is always talking about they being underpopulation and that the solution for that is more immigration so that's where I think there's not really a major concern it's like oh okay expat you can leave it's
not really a big deal we'll just bring more people in they don't want things to be too chaotic so now they're clamping down on it but it immigration is kind of like inflation and then it doesn't ever reverse
right so like oh we're getting a handle on inflation but the prices are sticky it's not like the prices are coming back down uh similarly you know there's not really much that can be done when it comes to
millions and millions of people uh entering the country now I'm not here to say that I'm anti-immigrant or pro-immigrant that's beside the point more so that that's the solution that leadership has decided on that's why they don't care
if people leave it's like oh okay you want to leave when you passed your working Prime in turn we can get somebody who's maybe 20 22 that will be able to work a lot harder and is also in
some cases coming from an impoverished background where uh they are really desperate to earn that money they are willing to put up with conditions that the American people are not willing to put up with uh and they'll do
it for lower wages and they're far enough away from retirement that their social security burden is going to become some other leadership's problem right we don't have to worry about that they're going to retire in 40 years you
know some of these politicians that are octogenarians they're not really concerned about what happens in 40 years to the United States all they care about is the next election cycle and if they can win that really makes no
difference about the election cycle or the state of the country decades from now the American people aren't really looked at as individually important anymore they're more like economic agents and participants in a global economy uh much more so
than a people with any common ground or anything really tying them together so let me know what you think down in the comments section below do you agree with these sentiments do you disagree with these sentiments it's a
beautiful sunny day here in the Philippines I wish you were here if you're not here right now I hope you're here having a wonderful day wherever you are next give us a thumbs up it really helps with the
