The Hidden Truth About Economic Recovery | What No One is Telling You - YouTube

Hi everyone, this is Dr. Nitin Chhoda. In this video,
[3]
some new information has come to light that definitively proves that we are in
[7]
the middle of a K shaped recovery. The rich are getting
[10]
richer, big companies are getting even bigger than ever before
[13]
while the poor are getting crushed. I 'll give you some interesting trends
[17]
across all states across the country as well as across
[20]
different occupations across the country so you know exactly where
[24]
the economic recovery stands. Now as you know Apple,
[28]
Best Buy, Nike more recently Target and also Home Depot have been making so
[33]
much money. They've reported some of their best earning periods
[36]
in the past several years even though we're in the middle of this pandemic. In
[40]
fact, I saw a news article today about Apple
[43]
that that surprised me. Apple is now and you see this chart on
[46]
your screen actually. Apple is the first US company to reach $2 trillion
[52]
in value. That is a staggering amount of money
[54]
and they actually they their value increased during the pandemic, believe it
[58]
or not. So it took Apple 42 years, look at this chart on your
[62]
screen, it took Apple 42 years to reach $1 trillion
[66]
and in the past 21 weeks more specifically in the last 2 years
[70]
their value has gone up from 1 trillion to 2 trillion. A majority of that
[74]
increase in value from 1 trillion to 2 trillion
[76]
has actually happened in the past 21 weeks while the global economy shrank,
[81]
faster than ever Apple's value continued to increase
[84]
substantially. In fact, Apple just became the first US
[88]
company to hit a $2 trillion valuation when their
[91]
shares reached that critical threshold of 467.78 cents
[96]
at the time i'm recording this video. So um you know this is a big milestone for
[101]
Apple and again you know big companies are getting bigger and
[104]
bigger and as recently as the middle of march this year
[107]
Apple's value was under $1 trillion after the stock market plunged
[111]
because of fears of the pandemic. And now we have
[114]
all of these big companies Apple, Microsoft, Amazon,
[118]
Google and Facebook that now make a majority, make up a majority of the SMP
[123]
500. That's where we stand right now. Now let's take a look at the state of
[126]
the economy and I want to give full credit
[128]
to the New York Times for this phenomenal piece of reporting
[131]
and I will provide you with the link to this article in the description section
[134]
below so you can check it out. Now this chart that you see on your screen
[137]
is basically a reshaping of commerce in the United States and I believe
[142]
these some of these changes are actually going to be permanent. Some businesses
[146]
will continue to thrive whereas others will go
[148]
out of business completely and I believe this is a precursor
[151]
of things to come across the entire world. So before I get into the chart I
[155]
just want to tell you that on the top of the chart from left to right
[158]
that is the time period. So that is you know going back to the start of the year
[162]
all the way through to all the way through where we are now and the line
[165]
that you see in the middle represents essentially the baseline
[168]
economic activity where we were before the start of the
[171]
pandemic. So again when we go from left to right you're seeing the time period,
[175]
what's happened from the start of the year, and we have a threshold here of
[179]
March 19th as you can see on the chart ,that's
[181]
when California issued the first stay-at-home
[184]
order. And so again from left to right you have the time period
[187]
and then again that baseline right in the middle represents baseline economic
[191]
activity before the pandemic hit so as you can
[194]
imagine if anything goes below that line that means that
[196]
things are much worse after the pandemic and as we get closer to that line it
[200]
means that recovery for that particular state
[204]
and for that particular occupation for that particular industry is taking place
[208]
again this is a phenomenal chart and you can check it out on new york times
[211]
website i'll provide you with a link to this in
[213]
the description section below but let's take a look at this and analyze exactly
[217]
where things are happening so as you know the effects of the
[221]
pandemic started in the first quarter of the year
[223]
right after march and what basically started happening is and this
[226]
blue bar that you see is the national average and so again what you're seeing
[230]
is a nationwide trend remember the trends are specific
[233]
to specific states as the pandemic came back then you know the activity became a
[237]
little bit more sluggish now you'll see new york highlighted on your screen and
[241]
you can see that new york is essentially at the bottom of the curve
[243]
because new york did take up the biggest brunt if you will
[246]
of this entire pandemic and and all of those lines represent different states
[251]
let's take a look at mississippi in mississippi visits to businesses dropped
[254]
by only 25 in march from a year earlier even as the
[257]
national decline was nearly 48 and so some states were impacted you
[262]
know not as badly as others now let's take a look at massachusetts
[265]
it had a severe early outbreak you know being a neighbor to new york
[269]
and trips to commercial locations in march fell by more than 50 percent
[272]
from year before and the state has moved cautiously to reopen
[276]
bars remain closed by law and business visits are down over 31
[279]
you can see a significant impact between massachusetts and mississippi and
[283]
remember what you saw earlier was the national average all those lines
[286]
in between represent all the other states
[288]
in the country let's take a look at oregon which kind of falls in between
[291]
mississippi and massachusetts the state avoided a major outbreak in the early
[295]
spring but after it began reopening in mid-may
[298]
it had a steep increase in the number of cases
[300]
so you can see the impact in that particular state now let's
[303]
even within the state of oregon people have not returned to all the businesses
[307]
that they're frequent because now you can see all those lines you can
[310]
see people have not gone back to bars and you know grocery shopping and home
[314]
improvement and convenience stores are on the rise now but again this shows
[318]
the impact within oregon for different industries as you can see
[322]
home improvement in particular that's why home depot made so much money
[325]
and reported a massive massive increase in the earnings because people are
[329]
gen you know people are spending a lot of money on home improvement while
[332]
they're stuck indoors bars have been suffering because they
[336]
emerged as hot spots for transmission bars have been among
[338]
the hardest hit and it doesn't look like bars are going to recover anytime soon
[342]
to be completely honest i mean i i don't know of many people who are
[345]
going to bars at this point in time airports and travel
[348]
are suffering uh people aren't really you know people aren't really taking
[352]
public transport that much train stations
[354]
uh too much of an impact here's the interesting thing hospitals
[358]
urgent care all of these businesses industries if you will are suffering
[362]
grocery which saw a big spike if you look at the left side
[364]
of the chart grocery we saw a big spike when this whole pandemic broke out
[367]
is now sort of starting to level off home improvement
[370]
gas stations all of these essential services if you will
[374]
and i wouldn't really call home improvement essential but a lot of
[376]
people are doing home improvement so gas stations and a lot of services
[380]
that we absolutely need are now starting to stabilize
[382]
back to where they were people are now starting to frequent big box stores
[386]
although that's had a bit of an up and down trend
[388]
pharmacies people are now gradually starting to go back to pharmacies
[392]
mainly drive-throughs and that's basically what's going on
[395]
across different industries so as you can see depending on the industry some
[399]
industries have not recovered at all and some industries have recovered
[402]
substantially and actually doing better than ever before back to their
[406]
pre-pandemic levels south dakota is one of the states that
[409]
is do you know sort of did very well in fact they turned down
[411]
the 400 week booster mississippi is right at the top
[415]
mississippi seems to be doing well and so you have these two states right at
[418]
the top and when i go down you have alabama
[421]
iowa arkansas all of these states by the way are back to
[425]
in general economic activity better than pre-pandemic levels going down we have
[429]
tennessee and as i go down the list you have south
[431]
carolina which is right at the midpoint right at the baseline if you will and
[435]
then these states indiana kentucky montana idaho
[438]
are below the baseline and that that bold line that i showed you at the start
[441]
of this video is the national baseline that's where
[444]
things stand right now in some states new jersey
[447]
maryland massachusetts california and new york
[450]
are below the national baseline in terms of economic activity so those are the
[454]
national trends and that's how different states compare with
[457]
the national trends many states as you can see
[459]
a majority of states are right now below the national trend which by the way is
[462]
what pulls that national trend line down
[465]
below the baseline that you saw at the start of the video
[468]
and so the national trend actually does not tell you the full
[471]
picture because the picture is different for different states and different for
[474]
different industries within different states with new york
[477]
being the state that has suffered the most
[480]
economic damage at this point in time thank you so much for watching everybody
[483]
i think this is an unusual this is a historic dichotomy between
[487]
some companies making more and more money
[489]
and some states suffering and the national the national baseline the
[493]
national average being far from where it was at the start
[496]
of the pandemic we are gradually starting to make our way back
[499]
but it is going to be a long road ahead and it's clear right now
[503]
that this is a k shaped recovery thank you so much for watching everyone
