About time. Socialized medicine is the *reason* why it's so astronomically expensive. It's not my job, as a healthy person, to pay *your* medical bills.
You didnt even mention David Grusch or Pentagon's AARO or DoD Inspector Chief's report or what is currently going on in the the Dave Grusch case what a bullshit you are.
Indepemdence ia a misnomer and is significantly misleading, as CCP has never controlled or governed Taiwan in anyway, not even one minute, so Taiwan is not seeking independence from China, but rather we are asserting our sovereignty despite China’s persistent harassment and marginalization
Home schooling is illegal where I live and that’s very much a good thing. Private and religious schooling should also be banned and the curriculum should be centralized to make education equally available for everyone. Also higher education has to be free and open to all who are willing to learn.
The show clearly shows signs of getting tired. Most of the jokes are repetitions of earlier ones, the audience is mostly laughing about insults. Maybe it is time to quit.
".....help me find a way of discussing income inequality without being accused of class warfare." Or, maybe, hear me out, come out swinging talking about class warfare because it is fucking happening against the poor for the entire length of the history of capitalism!
The propaganda spam bots spamming all of the comments cannot answer a simple question: What is the Covid-related mortality for non-elderly persons with no comorbidities?
GDP is probably the WORST possible way to measure the economy that there could possibly be. Not so much because the concept is a bad idea, but rather because the methodology is entirely biased with absolutely zero oversight...and because it's not so much calculated in any way at all, but rather arbitrarily declared by those who benefit most from whatever that declaration might be. That said, the odds are pretty good that economy actually more substantive and robust than GDP values normally indicate, but for the sake of argument, I'll instead assume the opposite, and cut the available value in half, while increasing the available population by about a billion more than there really is (so far). And I'm gonna do the whole world, simply because the idea of nations being separate in a completely finite and self-contained system is logically absurd...and not even really true anymore. It's compartmentalized, but poorly so, and only insofar as certain segments can exploit other segments...and nothing else.
So then, with these two puzzle pieces, we're set up for an economic renaissance that should completely end inflation, everywhere (which is considerably worse in some parts of the world than others). That should drop prices somewhat, but probably not as much as they need to go. Which leads to the other problem. Price-gouging. Very nearly everything attributed to and referred to as, "inflation," is actually just pure price-gouging. Real inflation is when there's more money in the system, than their is real value. There are a lot of reasons for it, but one of the more vexing ones is just plain rich people. Billionaires stagnate the economy. Most of their wealth is NOT in fact tied up in capital of any sort, or anything similar to it. It sits in special funds that simply accrue value through interest, doing no actual work and rarely even being part of the overall lending pool. It's like building a dam a few miles downriver from Hoover Dam...but putting no turbines in it and forbidding everyone else from accessing the water. Your new Reservoir isn't worth much, contributes nothing of its own, AND reduces the effectiveness of the prior dam, considerably. And that's exactly what's happened. Another cause of real inflation is fractional reserve lending and similar types of pseudo-mathematical fiscal bullshittery. Really the entire financial sector is like some weird and gross corruption of the Banach-Tarsky paradox (for the math nerds...no, I'm not saying they're the same...but rather that some banker stumbled across it or some similar concept and decided to apply a heinously simplistic notion of it to money. If we end that kind of shit, inflation almost disappears entirely. Unfortunately that still leaves us with the price-gouging.
For that...there are really only two solutions, and one of them is related to the radical monetary redistribution mentioned at the beginning. 1) All resources (including land and such), and all the means of production, should be tallied up, and that total divided equally among all living citizens, kind of like stock shares, actually. Every individual, regardless of age, location, or employment, gets exactly one share. Those shares cannot ever be bought, sold, or traded, and their value changes only when economic growth improves the means of production, new resources are discovered or used up, or the number of people in the world increases or decreases. That's how everyone gets paid each year. It's in everyone's best interests to make value of the shares go up, and nobody benefits more or less from it than anyone else. That interest is served by growing the economy, and by having babies at a reasonable rate compared to that economic growth. After all, fewer babies means fewer people, which would lead to gains in the short term, but cause losses in the long-run because fewer people would be stimulating the economy with consumption and related activities. NO government ownership...just public stewardship. Sort of like everyone being a landlord or such, but it's absolutely everyone, with no specified segment or items being claimed...just a fraction of total value. 2) All organizations, public or private (what few would remain), would need to be forced to be strictly non-profit worker co-ops. No more CEOs, no more Boards, no Unions, no more stockholders or anything else. One worker, one vote. With every citizen being considered a worker (employed or not) in the nation/world with regard to all public institutions.
I had about $85,000 in student loan debt, and unfortunately a ton of credit card debts as well, but in my case, i made use some of credit card balance to clear about $7k in my student loan debt trying to find how to get through this, I was also between starting my business coz I wanted to be able to call my own shots and be in control of my own destiny. I got my business plan in place, with not enough capital just $20k in my saving. To get my rig, equipment and maintenance with cost me nothing less than $450k. Where do I get this money? This question baffles my mind for weeks. I get to make research, read articles on top 0/0 in the industry. I read about them, make direct connections with some. This is where I got the hint I can actually apply for grant. It's a documented fact that Billions of Dollars in Free Money are donated every year by American Corporate Giving Programs, Foundations, and other Charitable Institutions, Individuals, and Other Agencies to invest on businesses and nonprofit organizations. I hired a recommended attorney (Grant DOcks) that match me with investors and also handle the application paperwork’s. It took about 2 months before they finalized and gave me $550k for start. Cleared my debt and got my business running. Today I knew my journey was a miracle, this is my I will always point anyone that comes to me to the right direction.
Bro you just spoke volumes to me. Struggling with $105k in student loan, I’m so sick of working these jobs just getting by my last job I made $1600 a week take home but I’m tired of jobs where other people control your money and if they don’t like you poof your money is gone. Especially when my grind and hustle and work ethic is next to none. I’m going to do this and I’m going to be successful at it and shine on my haters.
ok thank you for this great information. I live in Idaho and have been thinking of ways to earn more money and maybe become my own boss one day before I get married or soon after. So since you’re 0/0 I have a couple questions. how long are you away from home for loads on average? because I know that my man will not like me being away from home very long. so is there a wAy to get enough loads within the state I live in or make get loads that are only a two day load? Thank you!
Hey Demain Thank you, I appreciate your time and effort to share this here. I'm a fluid acrylic artist and this will help my business a ton! I am familiar with incfile as they are who I chose to start my LLC with but I didn't know about their grant program! Thanks again!
I want to thank you for sharing your knowledge with everyone. I've been trying to secure grant for my business for over six years now. Everyone I've spoken to never get any legitimate source. Could you provide more information? Do I need just my business plan to apply for grant? What’s the process ?
Omg the prisoners in america suffer so bad from heat! "Isreal murders people" And the people who did bad suffer here! "Child dies in Africa from starvation" What about the felons who suffer?

Calling out incorrect 'expert testimony' We do use plenty of drugs that vets give to animals. Please do better reasearch and dont present false information.
That Doordash CEO looks like he got bullied a lot back in school. The guy has that one annoying face you want to slap straight away. 16:30 to 18:30 Absolutely agree.
I’m thankful that the US military has finally acknowledged that UFOs/UAPs are real and not imaginary or fictitious. They are not misidentified aircraft. They are not the planet Venus, the moon, nor any other celestial body. They are not stars, nor satellites. They’re not unusual cloud formations, nor weather conditions. They are not swamp gas. They exist. That said, I’m hopeful that some brilliant, curious, creative, objective people will organize a multidisciplinary approach from which to study the phenomena that is not based exclusively upon “threat assessment“.
I have to use VPN to access LWT Library, but it's definitely worth it. Also, we need more media outlet to do this kind of thing if they really want to stop piracy.

If this is not a huge warning that people don't trust mainstream media, then I don't know what is. Now I'm not surprised why people trust news on social media more.
I can not express how happy I feel to see the intro and to look at your mug again John, I really do. Thanks for sheering up my day and doing a wonderful job being informative and entertaining.
John Oliver is a pure idiot. Funny at times but insulting, condescending and wrong much of the time. Governments pay scientists for pre agreed conclusions not true investigations. Like Man Made Global Warming. Which is a powerful tool to get people to give up their freedom and quality of life. Meanwhile, Universities are swimming in millions of dollars in Government Grants. The Grants will just keep coming as long as the conclusions reenforce the need to change everything in order to survive. Not about climate it's about control of you. I too, am an idiot, so don't trust me. Look it up for your self. Careful, it's called the RED Pill for a reason!
Ten whole years have passed of me being an avid watcher of the RU-vid clips of this show and *this* is the first time I've heard that there are LYRICS to the theme?? Sidenote: I'm oddly emotional seeing a 10 years younger dancing John
Americans and their tipping smh. Tipping should be made illegal with huge fines to both tipper and receiver. Hard to imagine a shadier scheme for paying for a job.
Thanks for giving out all the background info and pointing out honestly that it's probably the best for everyone that Taiwan stays exactly how it is now.
Culture matters - and its ethnic.The work ethic is real. In China, the southerners explain their superior performance by the infinite daily care the growing of rice requires. The northern grain growers need to work only occasionally, and viewed as lazy and inferior. Look how the descendants of dirt -poor Indian railway workers came to completely dominate Uganda's service economy - against strong discrimination. While most Europeans were peasants until the late 19th century, Jews were forced into non agricultural pursuits, requiring education and meticulous work habits, etc. The low value on education (as opposed to job certificates) evidenced by much of non-Asian, non-Jewish Americans has produced a vulnerable country, where faith rather than knowledge is a virtue, including faith in political snake oil salesmen.
