This podcast is so underrated. Hope to see more content from Noah especially on real estate supply and demand

Hi. Awesome episode ❤. Could you PLEASE talk more about Eastern European countries? Make episode about Poland (more in depth), Czech Republic, Hungry, Romania and Baltics. You also didn't mention northern Europe. 🥺🙏

@stevecatpatrick8056 3 месяца назад

Great episode. Something I think it would be interesting to dive into on its own episode is the point Noah made about easily hiring and easily firing people. I'm torn on that issue because I understand how it creates a flexible labor system which helps with growth, But also it causes a lot of issues at the individual worker level and a lack of stability. And with the lack of stability it makes it harder to justify starting a family. It's especially difficult when modern labor is much more specialized and niche in two earner households, that really removes the flexibility of being able to move for work when you need to coordinate two careers. I think it would be a good topic worth discussing I would like to hear Noah's thoughts on it. Also don't forget Canada next episode! You have fans up north too.

@Nabila-dx8xf Месяц назад

the strategy is similar but why poland succed but malaysia still lagging. is it because poland is in the eu. EU helped them a lot

@jansabela5291 3 месяца назад

Italy gets a lot of shit but just staying in the eu keeps its economy big enough and with a big market to sell their stuff. In the long term we need a lot of reforms for sure but just compared to the uk it’s not going that bad 😅

@Mr.barba97 3 месяца назад

And I mean, giving the third biggest economy in the eu like 2 minutes of time is a bit offensive. Like there is nothing to say? It seems like Noah just doesn’t care about 🇮🇹 Ps yes I’m a bit triggered

@@Mr.barba97 The one thing I remember about Italy is my good friend from there telling me if you wanted to start a pharmacy in your town you couldn't because of the corruption there. I found that pretty sad. I actually love Italian people though.

That sounds so much like Germans. Dude ingeneer manager who owns 3 houses thinks hes poor and Is worried for retirement and doesn't spend on anything. They save money on everything.

How on earth can you say Europe is more provincial than Michigan?? Europeans travel all over the place. What percentage of Americans ever leave their state not to mention possess a passport to leave the US?

@ivanbasiliorobainabychko5936 3 месяца назад

That´s not what he meant by that

@gilleek2 3 месяца назад

What did he mean? I was listening while running so maybe it went over my head. Didn't he say some Michiganders don't leave their town even to go to Grand Rapids/Detroit and likened Europeans to those folks.

@quantumskull2045 3 месяца назад

@@gilleek2 Noah was referring to how strong regional identity is in Europe. e.g. most people in Europe would identify much more strongly with being French/Germany/Spanish/etc. than with being European, or at even smaller of a scale, they might identify more strongly with their particular region, e.g. Bavarian, than with their country or Europe as a whole. That isn't inherently bad per se, and it's understandable why Europe has stronger regional identities than the US because history, but it does contribute to immigrants being harder to assimilate in Europe than America.

@gilleek2 3 месяца назад

@@quantumskull2045 ok. I get you. I'm Irish 1st and then a European citizen. Do Americans not have a sense of state loyalty/identification?

@quantumskull2045 3 месяца назад

@@gilleek2 They do but it is a lot less strong than in europe. Most americans view their identity most strongly as American rather than a specific state because: 1- It's all 1 country (in contrast to europe where even if your country is part of the EU it's still its own country), the states have some differences but overall it's all in one shared country for basically their entire history. 2- The state cultures are a lot younger than european cultures so there is less time for distinct cultural identity to develop, 3- Related to 2, the states all share a common spoken language and even the accents aren't too crazily different, whereas in europe the countries have developed distinct languages/dialects. 4- The EU is much younger and has less power over its members, whereas the US federal government has existed for pretty much all of American history, and has much more power over its states.
