    Who considers Patrick a trusted source of information? He’s basically doing comedy news with a focus on finance. Entertaining, interesting, but not like a full-on serious reporter.

      Isn’t this called “begging the question” if your question contains an assumption that is not a given?

    I wouldn’t say he’s a source of information at all. His videos are opinion pieces. As far as I’ve noticed he rarely gives any hard numbers, or claims to know things outside of the mainstream news.

    If you’re watching his videos to glean financial wisdom, you’re not his target audience. Try YNAB or Your Money, Your Wealth.

    I trust PB to crack good jokes.

    Dude shills regime propaganda. Sure he explains some basic concepts in approachable way but make no mistake about his pro regime bias.

    Gary’s economics does critical analysis of how the modern economics operate and calls out different actors within the regime structure.
