I love Ronny, his aggressive comedy is needed, have loved him on the Daily Show.
"How do we take the best things from around the world and do them here?"
Great question from Ronny Chieng. The US is an immigrant nation, so really, it makes total sense to integrate people and foster the best, most responsible and innovative ideas and things from all of its diverse peoples.
Yes! Improve the planet. Improve the nation. They are reciprocally interactive. Go Ronny! Go Rainn!

Japan was awesome the train system was amazing. I live in kc and I wish I could go to Denver in 2 hours o instead of 10
Not sure why the right is against bullet trains. I mean it’s got the word “bullet” in it, right?
😂
That’s gold! 🤪
My word for ignoring/not looking for innovation in other countries is "Americentric". And trying to reinvent the wheel is another national hobby. By far, the most impactful innovation I discovered is Finland's amazing accomplishment in the area of homelessness.
Love Ronny
Full episode out tomorrow!
This notion has been said in many languages and many different manners of phrasing through the ages. . .
That “when fighting monsters one must be careful to not become a monster oneself.”
(Whatever your personal monsters are)
💯
Outsider perspective: when you constantly tell yourselves (and the people around you) that you’re the greatest country in the history of the world, it makes it harder to exercise humility - because why would a country try like that every need to look outside of itself?
This is true, but this has been quite a known quantity for at least 25 years. A lot of that messaging is very specific and political and not as broad strokes as it used to be.
Ronnie is the actual Uncle Roger
Did Ronny go from his bed straight to this interview?😅
My only exposure with Wilson is his Office character. Seems like an amazing guy in real life.
Touche Ronny. We always look to Europe as a comparison. Ok, fair enough, but let's start looking to Asia. When I hear about transportation system in my city, nobody mentions Japan. I lived in Japan, and their system is the gold standard.
If I could click any harder on a thumbnail, I would have split my mouse in twain. ✌ & ♥ to the whole Soul Boom team. This has become my MUST WATCH podcast. LOVE LOVE LOVE
🙌🙌🙌

Yes ... one of the better pods out there I agree. Plus I love Ronnie
I don’t know when restaurants started bringing a digital machine to check you out, but SF had a couple restaurants that could do so in the early 2000s. And I can understand why businesses don’t want to update their system.
My mechanic friend who owns his shop said one time the credit card company found a bug in their system, and so they wanted him to buy new machines for his business.
The biggest problem for fast trains in the USA is Eminent Domain and private property trumps public goods. To establish a railway line could take decades of court cases. Then there is federal state county and city regulations. Easements, riparian rights, adverse possession and environmental issues to name a few obstacles.
One of the MANY reasons why I don’t plan on going back. I’ve seen greener pastures.
For some reason, americans have such an exceptionalism mindset, that the idea of "copying" anything another country does is anathema to a certain portion of our society. Back when cell phones became a thing, there were two systems: CDMA, and TDMA. TDMA was the standard in Europe...peolle could use their phones underground on the subway, in the middle of the Mediterranean sea on a ferry.
So, did the US decide to standardise on TDMA? Of course not. CDMA became the standard (for most major carriers)...and cell phones didn't work on major highways, let alone on subways. And forget using them if you traveled overseas. We reinvent the wheel, for no apparent reason other than to claim, "we did it ourselves! 'Murica!" It's exhausting. And this mindset pervades all institutions, including healthcare, politics, and on and on. We're the melting pot, we should take the best the world has to offer and improve on that. We don't always have to start from scratch.
Canada has had “the machine” since the 90’s
This is a nice good-natured conversation, I'm happy to hear it. I think there's some bad tropes banging around in it! A BIG ONE is the notion that if something isn't going well (for people in general) it's an oversight, we can just slip a note in the suggestion box, so to speak. This assumes that the people who own and operate America are well-meaning, and have the general interest in mind. I think this is wrong, there's a lot of evidence that it's wrong! I should mention that I complain a lot, and urge everyone to do so as well. So carry on! The more criticism the better, especially if it is true, sane, and funny! I'm not funny, so I can appreciate R.C. all the more.
I love America, but I’ve traveled abroad and thought the same, why can’t we have a Bullet Train and better health care etc. It’s about taxes. In Europe people pay high taxes from salaries to afford healthcare, trains etc.
We do, and we trust those taxes are spend well for our common good. I fear in the USA people see taxes too much as theft, or being given to the rich to support 'trickle down' that never works.
The sad part is that the taxes Americans already pay for their socialised healthcare (Medicaid etc) would pay for the entire health system if they used the universal healthcare system model that just about every other country uses. It's the Insurance system that's so woefully inefficient. That's why Americans pay so much more for their healthcare, but get so little out of it.
@@davel4708 True! I heard per person the US government spends more on healthcare than the Dutch, and still end up with way less.
US Healthcare system prioritizes profit as it has become one of the most profitable business in the US. Public transportation is heavily lobbied against by auto industry as cheap transportation costs them
@@plethodon1575 Indeed, and they even buy politicians seeking election and in need of funds.
love you guys, love your view of the world, each other
They won't audition Dwight from the Office for a Marvel movie? That seems strange.
Right??
If Elaine can get a part, so can Dwight!
But not Dr. Strange
Wow, Canadians originated something first? That's a new one 🍁 😮
Affordable safe trains. Flying in sardine seating for big bucks is torture travel.
America has so much potential, it hurts as an overseas democracy supporter like me to see America regress via the way of Trump.
America has been under more or less Democrat rule for close to 2 decades.
Even when Trump was in power, the establishment and Democrats *boasted* that they prevented Trump from doing anythung important.
You got a subscribe Dwight schrute.
America doesn't want to take things from around other parts of the world and incorporate or do it better.
Here's an example: Japan educates its students from a young age to CLEAN THEIR OWN CLASSROOMS and HALLWAYS and not wear their shoes inside and wear UNIFORMS etc etc...... unless America starts there, it will never do anything to change
Did you delete comments or was it youtube?
He starts with the glib assertion that these other countries have figured out how to make healthcare “free” and then immediately states that in Singapore they force you to save your own money in order to pay for future healthcare. I’ve actually read from journalists who study Singapore’s system that they will force, and I mean the government forces this, for people to pay for family member’s healthcare, they will audit your finances and your property and make you come up with massive contributions for expensive healthcare events.
Sorry but I just don’t consider Singapore to be a model.
And that is how you end up with a failed health care system in America folks!
what can we take from other countries? 😂😂😂 when chinese take things, u called them copying, but Americans can take anything from others without problems? 😂
Is that the guy that cheered for Homelander for killing the guy who threw a water bottle at his son?? 😀
Talk about being oblivious and vetting your guests. This is the same guy that went on a rant about Indians NOT being Asian despite India being a part of Asia.
Also, it’s pretty arrogant in general to believe that the place that you currently live in should be the absolute best in the world.
America considers Indians not as Asians but Europe does. I think it's just a classification difference.
😂So thin skinned
That's a skit with the other host an Indian guy, but you think he's serious ? Something is wrong with you
