You're right, it is garbage that it costs thousands of dollars to start a small business.

@@financeessentials5200 Lightning fast response.

@@stuwarp6684 We aim to please :)

No sir...it's Carolina Reaper hot sauces fermenting. I talk about it in the next episode ;)

Apologies for the late response...but no, the response is literally they'll catch covid if they were forced out of their homes. They'll be in shelters, or at family/friends homes and gathered in larger groups.

That is a great question. I'll try and touch base with Scott and see if he has any insight. If so, I'll post it here so you can see it :)

Yes, Billy's spirit is incredible and contagious!

Growing up in the 80s video games were still new enough to where parents didn't really trust them so we were still forced outside. I'm hoping to apply the same logic to my boys!

was thinking the same thing , big respect for that , Indian larry was someone I had respect for ,,,

Automation has and is taking jobs from Americans, in particular those areas. I don't know how many jobs AI has directly replaced as the technology is new, but it will happen as well. But automation isn't the only thing, outsourcing has also taken it's toll. Employing a person in the US isn't cheap, and manufacturing is expensive. Companies continue to be margin squeezed and will go through whatever means they feel necessary to protect their bottom line. It is on you, me, and everyone else to see and understand where the future of business is going and try and plan accordingly.

@@financeessentials5200 Ths economy of 20-30 years ago is gone forever. AI will take many jobs in finance, medical and accounting. Now, we have FSD automobiles coming soon. China 🇨🇳 has invested in robotics to displace many entry-level employment. They're advancing in AI. Eventually, it will happen here. The time line is 10-20 years. We are way behind than China in many areas. My timing may be off, but it's inevitable. Eventually, we will head into that direction. Welcome to the fourth industrial revolution. Put a VAT in place to fund UBI.

@@drsmetal2747 I don't disagree with any of that. Your timeline may be a bit compressed, but I don't pretend to be knowledgeable enough to say one way or the other. My biggest issue with UBI is that I can't get on board with a system that adds additional bureaucracy on top of existing bureaucracy. If we were to somehow eliminate all domestic government programs and institute a UBI (let's even say dollar for dollar...so eliminate all $3T in domestic programs) and give it back, I would be on board. But all of the people who are currently on these programs won't just automatically adjust. So then you're just putting back in bloated, wasteful government programs and making the federal government even bigger.

@@financeessentials5200 That's why I said a VAT. Value added tax to fund it. There are ways to get it done without blowing the deficit. Canada 🇨🇦 is going to possibly do it. Sorry, but more Americans becoming unemployed without a future be a dystopia nightmare. A trickle up economy is the best solution. Build the economy from the ground up with more small businesses.

I don't disagree with any of that. Again, my issue comes with the bureaucracy. There will absolutely be a "government VAT oversight" department, then there will be new regulations, etc etc that will just end up costing more. I don't think it will work out the way we hope, and that's because I'm going on the government's track record. Personally, if Canada is going to implement it, I would love to see how it goes.

Prison Policy Initiative would seem to disagree with this, but as I discuss on the show, it doesn't really factor in what people actually plea to so there may be some grey area. To your point though, there is no reason for a nonviolent drug offender to be in a cage. www.prisonpolicy.org/reports/pie2020.html

That's actually a great point, wish I would have thought about it in those terms. Unless of course you're in AL, then maybe you can just put quite a few people through community college haha

Don't give up. The first step is knowing where you want to go. The second step is knowing that it's up to you to get there. There has never been a better time to achieve the success you know you're capable of.

Crap, I forgot about that in the latest episode....I'll try to remember for episode 27!

Idk on the biker build off two of his bikes were epic fails ! one burned and the other didn't run well atol
