There was a How Money Works/How History Works video talking about the origins of the stock market. Literally just rich fucks gambling with other rich fucks about make believe shit. Eventually us poors wanted a part of the fun and now our entire system is built upon the house of cards. 🙃
A lot of his videos are just his experience of a thing or topic, but some of them he brings in factual basis. Can't say I've fact checked any of this video but he provides a lot of sources so that helps the credibility.
I find him as something pleasant to watch most Monday mornings before work.
Unfortunately, it's added to the list of "so sue me" which is basically this administration response on anything they have done in the last year and change
Let's also add the existential crisis now of AI soon to be having non-human interaction to execute kill commands on human beings in the "Defense" section. :(
Agreed, $3.6mil doesn't seem like that much to fix infrastructure problems (see cost of updating the US power grid estimates), but you know who also doesn't think $3.6mil isn't that much? Billionaires. Such a small denomination of money to people like that.
I had a similar thought to this the other day. For nearly my entire adulthood working, something around 15 years, not a single day has passed where I have explicitly recall NOT having coffee.
I didn't realize HDDs are taking a hit now... I'm moving overseas and opted to move my sever with me instead of rebuilding since ram alone is close to 1k now. I didn't price HDDs at the time cause they are only 4 years old... Sure hope they hold on for another few years....
Ohhh there is a lot of the over tones throughout the show. Bashing on the younger generations not knowing how the world "works", O&G being required (in this current form) and must grow more, progressiveness is the devil, etc. etc.
It's Taylor's thing. He did the same but slightly muted notion with Yellowstone until the last few seasons when he went all in on the notion.
I was told on Landman that wind power isn't reliable, doesn't last long enough, and requires oil to even work! Are you telling me a Taylor Sheridan show is US right wing propaganda?!
I'm in the same boat as you. Used Textra and Mighty Text years back but want to try swapping back. Doesn't seem like anything can compete with the robust features Messages has right now, unfortunately....
In the words of Gary Stevenson, "sorry, try again next time"
He meant this jokingly agreeing that you are basically fucked if you were not born into wealth or bought into a market 30+ years ago. Follow his channel on YouTube for some amazing, progressive views on the economy.
I've found setting an unrealistic goal (retirement at 45) but realistic goals that lead up to the unrealistic one so that accomplishments are made. Humans get a dopamine hit when we "check a box" or complete a task. Lean into that a bit with things you do.
Small things help towards the efforts of larger things.
Other than that, escapism through keeping myself busy too.
Always nice to see Louisiana and Mississippi continue to be the bottom of all statistics. Such dogshit states. So glad I left
