One of the best just walked off the field.
Gary Stevenson from Garyās Economics, has 1.64 million subscribers on YouTube but decided to hang up his boots.
A former City trader who made millions at Citibank, then spent years explaining why living standards keep sliding while the billionaire class hoovers up the lot. His crime? Asking for a 2% tax on wealth over £10 million.
And hereās why heās done. His own words: āIām quitting. Iām sick of being called an idiot by idiots, and Iām sick of being called a liar by liars.ā One bloke, every single week, worn down by the loudest, best-funded voices calling him the liar.
Because thatās the game. The billionaires, the mining money can pay a thousand influencers to run the same line at you, until the honest voices burn out and the paid ones are all thatās left standing.
And what heās fighting is what Iām fighting. Youāre being lied to. Electricity is one of the biggest lies of the lot. The billionaire class has weaponised your power bill. The same voices that profit off burning coal and gas are the oneās telling you that the cheapest form of power generation will hurt you!!
Clean energy is the cheapest form of power generation in Australia, this isnāt an opinion, this is backed up by the data. Wholesale electricity prices fell 47%. Gas generation? Lowest itās been in 23 years, shoved out of the market by batteries.
And hereās the one that gives up the whole game. Batteries are now setting the price, and they did it at $107 a megawatt hour. Gas was charging $452 for the exact same job a year ago. Quarter of the price. Thatās the thing theyāll spend a fortune making sure you never hear.
But even on his way out, Gary left us the reason we bother. His words: āI cannot be the only educator on this.ā Thatās it. Thatās the whole job. It canāt be one worn out voice against a hundred paid ones, it has to be a lot of us, all pulling the same way.
Please donāt let the good ones carry it alone. Share their stuff. Back them. Because when the last honest educator logs off, the only voices left are the ones being paid to lie to you.
