Another good example was the comparison of Igbo/Yoruba against Hausa/Fulani on the eve of British suppression of Atlantic slave trade. They really turned the table around. I think I read about them the first time in one of Sowell's books.
For short, in the mid 1800s land that today known as Nigeria, the Igbo and Yoruba tribes were living in near stone age civilizations and they were constantly preyed by slaver hunters from Hausa and Fulani tribes who get their civilization boost from their neighboring Arabs. If you watched the movie "Amistad", at one scene there showed the process of capturing slaves before they were sold to Europeans. The slaves were either from Igbo or Yoruba and the slavers were either Hausa or Fulani.
Enter British, who in their mission to suppress Atlantic slave trade received the mandate to occupy the land. But they weren't just occupy it, they also introduced English/western style of education. Igbo and Yoruba on their part thought this western education was their salvation from Hausa and Fulani oppression, on the other hand Hausa and Fulani considered it as symbol of British oppression.
Within a few decades, Igbo and Yoruba had advance their civilization above and beyond that of Hausa and Fulani to the point where at the time when British granted Nigeria their independence in the 1960s, there were numerous college educated from Igbo and Yoruba and only one highschool educated among Hausa & Fulani.
And of course you already hear about "Boko Haram"? Yes, it has its roots from that episode. And yes, its members are from Hausa and Fulani. So you know why.
It is said that today Nigerians are the most successful among the immigrants in the US. Three guess which tribe they came from? Hint: not Hausa/Fulani.

It's not Blackrock's fault to buy houses. They only response to the market. If the AI says, "Buying houses is hot right now", Blackrock will buy houses. If the action drive up house prices, then it's virtuous circle for the AI prediction.
The blame should be aimed at the government. Their building restrictions are the cause of AI say, "Buying houses is hot right now". If the building restriction is eased, or better still, erased, then the price of houses will plummet, and with the AI shout in panic, "Sell! Sell! Sell!", Blackrock will sell houses in their inventories instead of buying houses.
Government, is the problem. As always.

@heyjo3417 No, it's earlier this month.
The protest was about the transportation vehicles requirement. Before March 1, the worker contractors can use trucks (no roof, no seat, just plain trucks) to transport their workers to the factory sites. Since it is unsafe for the workers, IMIP demanded that worker contractors to use bus after March 1. However, the worker contractors decided to throw tantrum and stopped transporting their workers, hence the riot, which for some reasons, IMIP became the target.
The channel however, conflated it with the protest a year ago about Chinese workers.

You missed the details and come to the wrong conclusion.
India didn't work because theirs was democratic socialism (emphasis on s-o-c-i-a-l-i-s-m). Then BJP started to erode Congress political monopoly, so they tried something unthinkable before, to deregulate the economy, and it works. And BJP does not seem to want to go back to the old day of socialism quagmire.
China under Mao didn't work either because theirs was totalitarian socialism. Then in 1980s Deng decided gave capitalism a try, and it works, or it worked, until they started to inch back to socialism under Xi Jin Ping. And now we can see their economy is starting to stall (compared to 7% to 10% growth under Deng, Jiang, and Hu, it's a paltry 3% to 5% under Xi, and that before the covid).

@honeytgb If you do not want multi-party, then you are for single-party. That's implied ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I'm from Indonesia, right next door to Singapore. Singapore is like Indonesia was when under Soeharto. It's not "single party state", because there are (for Indonesian, there were) opposition parties. But the opposition parties are castrated and closely monitored, every moves they made are hindered, law comes down hard on them and lenient to the ruling party. And of course, Indonesia was a joke back then.
Lee Kuan Yew died a few years ago. His legacy will be eroded. To put it in analogy, most businesses can't survive their third generation, and Singapore will follow that route. Lee Kuan Yew was comfortable with just 70% votes for his party in the election, but newer generation pushed it to 90% zone, a clear tell tale of a growing dictatorship. For comparison, Soeharto also started with just 50+% but toward the end of his reign, he didn't tolerate anything below 90%, and of course his attitude was growing more and more dictatorial.
As I said, if you want to copy Singapore, 99.9% chance you will end up with North Korea. And without effective opposition party, the third generation of Singaporean leaders will screw things up.

@xoho3462 Ah yes, the case of "us, the unique". If want to play victim card, here it is.
USA was blasted during the independence war, not by second class power like 1940s Netherlands, but by the real deal greatest power in the world of the time. So much so the power of England, that it took the effort of three other world powers (bankrupting two of them in the process) to subdue England. And England came back again thirty years later to burn down USA capital.
So, you don't say "Oooh mine Indonesia, oooh me poor country, oooh .."
Indonesia was languish in poverty for the first half century since independence because they held socialism close to their heart. As the rule of thumb, in socialism all are equals, but some are more equal than the others. Only the powerful elites can gorge the fruit of the nation, and others are peasants to be sacrificed whenever needed.
Why most the countries that get independence after world war 2 had became shithole countries? Because during the time of their independence, socialism was at ascendance. Most of their independence leaders were intoxicated with it. And the results are evident.

The thing is, the channel conflated the protest about Chinese workers, which happened a year ago, with the most recent protest, which had nothing to do with Chinese workers.
The protest was about the transportation vehicles requirement. Before March 1, the worker contractors can use trucks (no roof, no seat, just plain trucks) to transport their workers to the factory sites. Since it is unsafe for the workers, IMIP demanded that worker contractors to use bus after March 1. However, the worker contractors decided to throw tantrum and stopped transporting their workers, hence the riot, which for some reasons, IMIP became the target.
Kind of ironic, isn't it. If they demand safety, but then when the company establish safety rule, they are mad?

@shawnpitman876 We are talking about salary of one person. What about other employees for the town? And don't forget that 356 is including babies, elderly, stay at home moms (or dads), bumpkin drunkards, etc. If we use 1 breadwinner per household of 4, that number will down to 89 who will have to pay $152 for one clerk. Then there are other employees for mayor office (and sheriff too?), office equipment and supplies, utilities, etc. Other thing to consider is the earnings per household.
Bottom line is, 356 people is too small for a town. In my country, the minimum is 4000 people. If they have lower population, the government just won't recognize them.

@ak47modwarfare You can deny it all you want, but history of North America and West Europe had proved beyond reasonable doubt that Karl Marx theory about race to the bottom was wrong.
When the market is saturated, some will start to sell more expensive bread, some will insist on cheap bread, some other will innovate to get even lower price, some will close shop, some will open other trade. And the buyers are not stupid either, contrary to Karl Marx belief. They will choose what bread they will buy. Some will buy better bread, some will insist to buy crappy bread, some will opt to noodle, some will start to bake for themselves.
That's how North America and West Europe achieved prosperity and the rest of the world who infatuated with Karl Marx theory were languished.
btw, in fact I baked my own bread, and it only cost me 50 cents for 6-8 pieces of bread. Yes, it's doable. As I said, some will bake for themselves. Just search youtube for recipes. Developed world bread price is mostly come from service, not ingredients.

When I threw idea to people about having several electrical companies in my city, they usually told me, "How do you think that can be done safely?"
My usual answer to their challenge is, "I don't know and I don't care to know. If new electrical companies are established in my city, they will, shall, and can get and pay their engineers to figure that out. All I need as a customer are, electricity flow into my house, it's not fluctuating, and the bill is as low as possible. I don't care if they bust their brain to do it."
Those people have the mindset that government is correct to decree that there can only be one electrical company in a city. And as such, they want to know how to do it before they agree to change that decree, as if it's their money at the stake.

@harlanjackson6112 You don't have inalienable rights to force someone to bake for you. It's the baker's shop and the baker's money, he gets to decide when, where, and for whom he bakes.
You can bake bread yourself, all you need is flour, yeast, and sugar. The total is less than $10. You can order it online. There, you get your bread, and the baker lost his customer because of his bigotry. You don't have to create a scene. Just use Basic Economics.
BTW, those dozen gay people in a small town must be shitty persons that have nothing of value to offer to the society that a baker won't miss them as customer. If they have something to contribute to the small town economy, no matter how bigotic the baker is, he will swallow his bigotry and cater to them, because money is money. That's Basic Economics.

@DjVortex-w "Especially when AMD designed (what would eventually become) the x86-64 instruction set, they could have completely revamped the machine code encoding and make it optimal spacewise. But no. They had to try to uselessly keep the old encoding and add new byte prefixes, for no reason."
The reason is with which way will you achieve backward compatibility.
If they revamped the encoding like your suggestion, either the old softwares won't be able to run because their instructions are unknown to new instruction set or point to totally different instruction, therefore you lose the backward compatibility,
or there have to be special marker of higher bits instruction. For example. the instructions can become xFF??, xFFFF????, xFFFFFFFF???????? with FF, FFFF, and FFFFFFFF as marker of 16, 32, and 64 instruction set and ??, ????, and ???????? as the actual instruction. This scheme will result in a huge waste of memory.
That's why they chose different mode = different instruction set.
It's more convenient, easier, and cheaper that way.

@somindlesssmedia Since 2008? Nah. Since 1980s. If anything, 2008 was a hiccup in the ongoing process.
If you are interested, the video link at the bottom is from ABC (Australia Broadcasting Corp., not the American one). It talks about high housing prices, and that it has already happened since four decades ago in Australia.
The problem is not, as PBD thought it is, caused by Blackrock, which is very recent and restricted to USA. The problem has already decades long, and it's global.
The video points the blame on NIMBY (Not In My Back Yard) regulation, where homeowners (neighbors) has a say in the permit for building new houses. It then compares with the situation in Japan with other countries who have the same problem.
But then Japan eased/erased the NIMBY requirements in house building, and poof, the problem disappear.

Sui dynasty didn't cause the stagnation in science and technology in China.
Sui dynasty was the start of China healing after the several centuries of chaos following the end of the Han dynasty. They were taken over by Tang dynasty shortly after.
The Sui reigned just three decades, and a third of that was in another chaos before Tang took over. As short lived as they were, one of the celebrated innovation during Sui dynasty was the building of Grand Canal that increased domestic trade among China's cities (it was build to pile resources in preparation to invade Korea, but well ...).
And also, why would science had to be requirement for government officials? Their job is to administer the country resources. So the ability to read and write were the only requirement considering the level of education during that time. Some of them might dabbled in science in their leisure times, but science was not a requirement for their post.
For comparison, Europe also didn't require science for government official posts. Their requirement was limited to ... ability to read the Bible (instead of Confucian). Scientists like Newton, Kelvin, Faraday, etc. were given subsidies to enable them to conduct experiments, but they didn't have any power in government.
What make the difference between China and Europe was isolationism and because of it, China missed the crucial event that enabled Europe to catch up and finally leave China in dust : The Enlightenment.

Let's look at history. When Lenin established his socialist regime, Russian (Soviet Union) economy shot up. Why? Because the Russian economy was a total disaster at the time. The economic progress was so big that the socialism minded intellectuals in the west believed Soviet Union would overtook USA within 20 years. The joke is, after 10 years, the prediction was revised to within 30 years. Another 10 years, and it became within 40 years. And at the beginning of Brezhnev reign, the economy started to stall, until it crashed and burned under Gorbachev.
Will socialism works? Barely. And at a huge cost, both in freedom and economic cost. And after a period of time, it will stagnates and starts the downhill course.
As comparison, we can learn the West Germany and Japan economic miracle after World War 2. The economy was in the same disaster level as Soviet Union, if not worse. But they implemented capitalism shortly after the Allied ended their occupation. Within 20 years, they became 3rd and 4th largest economy in the world (with the 2nd a.k.a. Britain was in decline). That is, if we account to their population sizes, they may as well as richer than USA at that time. How about Soviet Union? What Soviet Union, is the answer.
Bolivia economy grew very fast. Well, of course. Oil money aside, their economy was a disaster back then (see the similarity with Russian economy of early 20th century). But socialism can only work that much. And if they cling on socialism for several decades, their economy will back to another phase of disaster.

While they may not know how it happened, every person work in IT will immediately recognize the number. The list numbers are burned in their mind. 0, 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024, 2048, 4096, 8192, 16384, 32768, 65536. They subconsciously memorized those numbers during their training.
4096 .. is 0001 0000 0000 0000.
One bit is flipped. Somehow.
I learned the reason for the flipped bit several years ago when I had to buy a new computer for data server in my office. The DDRs are way more expensive than the regular ones. I have to google it to understand why that damn thing are so expensive. Turned out, it has additional parity and correction system in it to guard against cosmic radiation.

@PreciousMemoryBook I don't think Thomas Sowell is in any party. But his ideology (the way he analyzed problems) is libertarian.
BTW, if you are interested, the video on the bottom is from ABC (Australia Broadcasting Corp., not the American one). It talks about high housing prices, and that it has already happened since four decades ago in Australia.
The problem is not, as PBD thought it is, caused by Blackrock, which is very recent and restricted to USA. The problem has already decades long, and it's global.

It seems youtube deleted my comment.
Let me type it again.
Blackrosk is not a significant variable in housing price. They are opportunist. If housing prices is hot, they will buy. If housing prices is cold, they will sell.
As Thomas Sowell already pointed out for several decades now, it's the government building restrictions that contribute to high housing prices. It constricted the supply. Even without Blackrock, housing prices would go up at similar pace, because while supply is reduced, people breed, hence increase of demand.
Blackrock role is in exacerbate the situation. But ease or erase government building restrictions, and Blackrock will stay away from housing market.
But America is experiencing depopulation!
True. However, it's one or two decades away before it finally happens. IIRC, Japan already got USA population numbers four decades ago. And their population finally down a few years ago. Depopulation doesn't happen overnight (except by a massive catastrophe).
And don't forget the tens of millions illegal immigrants. They also add up to the housing demands.

Latin America became poor because when they became independence, they decided to preserve special rights of the feudal entities. Overtime the feudal entities were replaced by politically connected families, but the special treatments persist. This is in contrast with the United States that was established by peasantry and they decided from get go to rid themselves of any semblance of feudalism.
Blaming USA is misguided and only prolong the harm of such institution. Around the time of American countries rush to independence, USA was just a third rate power. It's nothing compared to Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, .. hell, even Paraguay was stronger than USA. USA was smaller and more sparsely populated than any Latin American countries. However, the persistence of quasi-feudalism institution stagnated Latin American countries, while USA managed to advance in leaps and bounds.
By 1840s, USA managed to bludgeon Mexico. By 1860s, it already a first rate power.
When USA came with Monroe Doctrine in 1820s, Latin America countries were amused of the audacity of that former British peasants with their third rate power. They even joked around and cheered it. By 1920s, it's no longer joke.

@maxmuster7003 Hmm ... looks like youtube delete my reply for unknown reason ....
In your code up there, NOP in 8086 is in the millisecond range, while NOP in i9 is in the nanosecond range. That is, you will have to supply more and more NOPs when the computer getting faster.
About the 18.2 Hz system timer, any piece of code that use it will have to keep their code run time within 54.9 millisecond. If the code need 55 millisecond to complete, that code will have to stay idle for another 54 millisecond. Other way to do it is to chop the code into fine pieces that fit into 54.9 millisecond window, which is quite a challenge.
That's why it's unwieldy for DOS who doesn't have preemptive in their API. In Windows, programmers don't have to think about it. It's made transparent to programmers.
Also the availability of Real Time Clock since IBM PC-AT helps, it has 32768 Hz frequency, way more fine grained than 18.2 Hz. It means if the code needs 1.00001 clock tick, it will only need to wait 30.5 nanoseconds for the second clock tick, instead of 54 milliseconds as in the system timer.

@funsharx How to end it, is important. If you do it in socialism way, you only make it worse.
Even if Blackrock and the like are forbidden from housing market, housing prices will still climb up.
As Thomas Sowell said for decades, the problem is in government building restriction.
If you are interested, the video on the bottom is from ABC (Australia Broadcasting Corp.). It talks about high housing prices, and that it already happened four decades ago.
The problem is not, as PBD thought it is, caused by Blackrock, which is very recent and restricted to USA. The problem has already decades long, and global.
The video points the blame on NIMBY (Not In My Back Yard) regulation, where homeowners (neighbors) has a say in the permit for building new houses. It then compare with the situation in Japan with other countries who has the same problem.
But then Japan eased/erased the NIMBY requirements in house building, and poof, the problem disappear.

What Milei wants is "no cooperation" with communist regimes, and not "no diplomatic relation" with communist regimes. So his stance and Trump's is not that different. It is different in the "why" but not in "the end result". Milei thinks communism is evil, Trump thinks communism is a threat to America. That's their difference.
Forget about Trump "praising" Kim Jong Un, it's just his diplomacy style. What he said publicly can be very different with what he said about them privately (c'mon, you don't go to press conference and then you talk shit about the other party, ffs Joe, you DON'T). Trump was just courting Kim to negotiate nuclear disarmament. American stance toward North Korea, China, and Cuba were in fact hardened under Trump. That is proof enough that he hates communism.
In conclusion, both person hate communism, but the reason is different. Trump hates communism because it's a threat to America, and Milei hates communism because it's evil. Not in any sense that Trump (as you portray him) is friendly with communist regimes.

Oh please, the entire East Asia also like that, their students are compete hard to enter prestigious university. You can say that for Japan and South Korea. Furthermore, Vietnam is also a communist state. And as the history goes, whatever China does, more or less will be copied by Vietnam.
And don't forget that Vietnam team played in their home, so of course they have advantage on that. The reason China lost their qualification is because other games they play, against Saudi Arabia, Japan, and Australia, which they lose. China got the short straw this year, with their entire third round were played away. And not to mention that Middle Eastern teams are far stronger than the rest in the region. So it is just dog bites human kind of thing.

@ak47modwarfare
In my country (Indonesia), wheat or to be precise, flour, is imported by government sanctioned cartel. Won't the cartel build big industry for derivative products from flour? Sure thing. They built the biggest instant ramen factory in the world out of it (google "indomie" for reference). But their greed wouldn't let them keep their flour for themselves.
There are a lot of money to be made by selling flour to general public, so they sell their flour. They even sell it to unaffiliated instant ramen factories (I don't know why, maybe because they can make money easier that way?).
That's how I can get 1 kilogram of flour for less than 1 dollar. And baking 6-8 piece of bread will only need about 2 cups or 250 grams of it. Add sugar, cheese, sesame (or other condiments to your fancy), electricity ... I figure the total to be less than 50 cents a batch or less than 10 cents a piece.
You can't judge something is terrible just because it's cheap. You should examine the price level of the locality, and you can see if the price they put is reasonable or not.
Also, all this talk about food quality in China can be traced to ignorance and confirmation bias. Just because one of them "mining" gutter oil, do not mean that all of them use gutter oil.
My country also has history with gutter oil. It was rampant around 50 years ago when we were far far poorer. But today we are more prosperous, and nobody in their right mind will use gutter oil because it's just not worth the risk of losing one's business just to be able to squeeze a few more cents. No, not because government (well, they will prosecute, of course, but they can be bought🤫), but people talk, consumers talk, everybody talk, and before long nobody will buy your products. And today's easy smartphone access will spread it even faster.
Edit, addition:
"Today, the US seems to be overreliant on china and other countries for manufacturing."
Do you know why Argentina became a poor country? Youtube channel VisualEconomik (or is it its sister channel VisualPolitik? sorry, I forget which one) has a video a few weeks ago that basically said that it all began with Argentina's political elites wanted to make sure Argentina would not have to rely on other country's manufacturing. All went downhill after that.
For me, US problem with China is that China used its manufacturing capability to steal US technology. If it's just to have them manufacture stuffs, then it won't be any problem.

@michaelbizon444 Sure, there's a subsidy for flour import, that's why I can get flour in comparable price as you even when my country have to import practically all flour I can find in the marketplace.
But we do not compare flour prices. What matter is, both you and I can make bread as cheap as 10 cents a piece with the flour price that we get. And I'm sure that shop in China can make their bread that cheap too, without the need to fulfill your suspicion.
What made bread so expensive in developed world is not the price of its ingredients, but the service price (bakers and waiters won't accept $10 a day wage there). If you exchange the service price of developed world with the service price of China, you can get relatively same price as that shop in the video. So, no need to fulfill your suspicion.
btw, bread is not novelty in China. They have made buns for thousands of years (steamed, not baked). It is a novelty in Indonesia, since as you said, we don't grow wheat here. Bread was introduced by our colonial masters (Dutch's VOC) several centuries ago and only recently it's available at affordable price to general public.

@jer67 But ... there are many jokes about bullying smallish country. 😅
Brazil declare war to Suriname.
Day 1, Brazil sends 100,000 soldiers to invade. Suriname manages to capture them all and put them in POW camp.
Day 2, Brazil sends another 100,000 soldiers to invade. Suriname manages to capture them all and put them in POW camp too.
Day 3, undaunted, Brazil sends yet another 100,000 soldiers to invade. Suriname manages to capture them all and put them in POW camp.
Day 4, Brazil send ultimatum, "Surrender or we will send another 100,000 soldiers."

@ Japan learnt to keep their advertised product's specs in moderation from the west. If you look at how China producers advertise their product's specs, it's a clown world compared to what Japan and western producers.
Take example 18650 battery. You can find, wait, correction, you can easily find China's 18650 battery advertised as "can hold up to 100,000 mAH". Yuup, it's bigger than my car big ass battery. Everywhere and every time you find China 18650 battery; you'll never find something like Japan's 18650 battery who only print 2,000 mAH on it's tube. Worse, if you try to test those China 100,000 mAH 18650 batteries, you'll find at most 1,000 mAH capacity.
The other day, Linus made a video about testing a very cheap 2,000 watts power supply from China. He tried to draw power from it, and it started to dangerously heat up at 1,000 watts before he decided to end his experiment.
And don't ask me about how they build their apartments.
That's cha bu duo for you.

@electrictroy2010 Japan couldn't keep fighting in China. For one, they would run out of oil within months because of USA oil embargo. No oil, no war machine. Worse yet, no oil meant no ammo supplies from Japan factories. Japan soldiers would had to fight with bayonet and shuriken.
The only oil source within striking distance was oil wells in Netherlands East Indie. But to grab it, they would have to go through British, which their colonies in Malaya constitute a belt between Japan and Netherlands East Indie. And to break through British, Japan had to consider the risk that USA would intervene physically (instead of just diplomatically with their oil embargo over Japan invasion of China). That's why their invasion was conducted simultaneously with the attack of Pearl Harbor.
The Pearl Harbor attack wasn't meant to defeat USA. Japan military strategist were aware that, unlike Russia in 1905, they couldn't defeat USA with just one attack. It was only meant to stun USA, prevented them from intervened with Japan conquest in South East Asia, which also had to be done swiftly because Japan oil reserve only last for months away before dried up. Japan hoped that they could negotiated peace with USA afterwards.
And no, they couldn't rely on Saudi Arabia to supply them with oil, which was (and still today) under USA sphere of influence. Saudi Arabia was under USA influence even more during that time where they were still a new state and they didn't yet to know how to mine the oil themselves.

"Cut the biggest first" sounds good, but ".. doesn't work," as Trump said.
Do you know the "snowballing method" from Dave Ramsey? In the attempt to eliminate debts, he instead advises to eliminate the smallest first. The idea is, it is easier, hence will give you moral boost to attempt the elimination of the bigger debts.
What Trump does is somewhat similar to that. Cut smaller spendings first just to give people the taste of it and bring them over to the effort. You want to cut military, social security, and healthcare fundings? They may take years. Years that Trump just doesn't have.
Trump only have four years in office, and maybe just two years before midterm election where people will ask him, "What are your accomplishments for you to ask us to vote you?" If Republican is defeated in 2026, It will be the repeat of 2018-2020 circus show.

So, Germany took Moscow, then what? Napoleon took Moscow, and he accomplished nothing. White Russia took Moscow, but they were wiped out eventually. Stalin government wouldn't be collapsed just because he lost Moscow. He would only need to move his government deep into Siberia and continue to fight from there indefinitely. And that's not something Germany could do because ... oil.
You see ...
After Britain declared war and blockaded sea lanes, Germany only had enough oil for several month. Without oil, their tanks would not be able to move. They would have to go back to World War 1, use horses to go around. Not to mention their industries would stop, no more ammo and ration for the soldiers.
That's why the original plan was to go to Caucasus first, solved the oil problem, then walked with ease across Russia. But the generals had brilliant agenda of took the Moscow first and treated the oil problem as trivial. By the time Hitler told them to redirect to Caucasus, Germany oil reserve was only weeks before it run dry.

Great, telling the story of Ethiopia by using footage from that stupid Benin kingdom movie. It's like telling the story of Russia with footage from The Patriot. Why? Them African, them look the same? *facepalm
The video broke its own rule with the Zhou dynasty. Zhou's KING never called themselves emperor. They were hegemons, a "first among equals" over the myriad kingdoms that sprouted on the northern China plain. The title of emperor in China was started by Qin Si Huang after he conquered all the kingdoms that previously called Zhou as their hegemon.
Aaand, there you go again, telling the story of China with footage from Japan? Them Asians, them look the same, I guess.
Dude, that was footage from Alexander. Why would you use it to tell the story of Holy Roman Empire? Them European, them looh the same this time? OK, at this point, I'll assume you are full of s**t.

From wikipedia:
The Congress that assembled in January 1939 was quite unlike any with which Roosevelt had to contend before.
Since all Democratic losses took place in the North and the West, and particularly in states like Ohio and Pennsylvania, southerners held a much stronger position. The House contained 169 non-southern Democrats, 93 southern Democrats, 169 Republicans, and 4 third-party representatives. For the first time, Roosevelt could not form a majority without the help of some southerners or Republicans. In addition, the president had to contend with several senators who, having successfully resisted the purge, no longer owed him anything. Most observers agreed, therefore, that the president could at best hope to consolidate, but certainly not to extend, the New Deal. James Farley thought that Roosevelt's wisest course would be "to clean up odds and ends, tighten up and improve things [he] already has but not try [to] start anything new."
In any event, Farley predicted that Congress would discard much of Roosevelt's program.

It's not their fault. If you blame corporate investing in residential properties, then you already fall into socialist propaganda.
What make high houses price is the government, especially the part about building restriction. It constricts the supply of houses, and with almost no new house to supply the ever increasing demand, sure enough the houses price will reach new height each year.
It's not corporation's fault to buy houses. They only response to the market. If their AI says, "Buying houses is hot right now", corporations will buy houses. If the action drive up house prices, then it's virtuous cycle for the AI prediction.
If the building restriction is eased, or better still, erased, then the price of houses will plummet, and with the AI shouts in panic, "Sell! Sell! Sell!", corporations will sell houses in their inventories instead of buying houses.
Government, is the problem. As always.

What good info? VisualEconomik was just lying. This channel has started to sound like WEF shill.
What they were talking about 50 thousands yearly visa is the visa lottery. US government organizes visa lottery for the last few decades, and that lottery does not have anything to do with H-1B visa. There is no limitation on how many H-1B visa each year. There is limitation in how many visa lottery winner each year.
The visa lottery is a leftist agenda to "diversify" US population, and it stated in the rule of the lottery, that is, your chance to win the lottery depends on how many people applying from your country and how many immigrants your country sent to the US in the past years, either lottery or H-1B.
It does not have expertise requirements, except that you have K-12 education. That's it, no unique skill, no world known expertise, none but K-12 education. If you have expertise, especially if you are a world known one, just apply H-1B right away. You are not peasants. Don't bother with visa lottery.

By 2045, Elon Musk may be too old to go there.
Robert Heinlein's "Requiem" told a tragic story of a man who worked hard to become rich enough to built a spaceship. Finally he became a billionaire and the spaceship was built, but he was already too old and his board of director forbid him to ride on it. He managed to steal the spaceship, landed it on the moon, and died there shortly afterwards.
Other scenario (about Musk and his Neuralink) is from Yahoo's "Other Space"
A.R.T. was a billionaire who wanted to live forever, so he funded a research to transfer his consciousness, first into a robot and then to a clone of himself. Sadly after he managed to transfer into A.R.T body, his company collapsed and without further research available to transfer his consciousness into a cloned body, he was trapped to live inside a robot, and worse, because A.R.T. was left idle inside cupboard at the company's warehouse and forgotten for years without anybody noticed him.

@WATCHINGTHEWATCHERS Of course it will.
There are software formats and hardware formats. Because of Moore Law, the cost of software formats (FAT, NTFS, exFAT, etc.) are diminishing toward zero.
Hardware formats though, have to be manufactured. If for example, nobody manufacture cassette tape player anymore, it will be hard to read what is in it. That's where the need to "refresh" came from.
From my own experience, the data inside my IDE hard drive are still readable after 20 years, but there are no more motherboard that support IDE. Thankfully, the cost of IDE to SATA converter is just a dollar or so.

@hotmess9640 As I said, vote for lawmakers who will get rid of government restriction.
If you are interested, the video on the bottom is from ABC (the Australian one, not the American). It talks about high housing prices, and that it already happened four decades ago. So the problem is not, as PBD thought it is, caused by Blackrock, which is very recent and not restricted to USA.
The video point the blame on NIMBY (Not In My Back Yard), where homeowners propose laws to restrict building new houses. It then compare with the situation in Japan with other countries who has the same problem, where Japan finally eased/erased the NIMBY requirements in house building, and poof, the problem disappear.

Sleazy as they are, Blackrock is not the cause of the problem.
Blackrock exploits the problem, sure. But the root cause of the problem is government building restrictions. And because of those restrictions, whatever AI being used in Blackrock's headquarter will shout excitedly, "Buy! Buy! Buy!", because the only trajectory is up.
If government building restrictions is eased, or erased, there will be a glut of houses supply, the houses price will go down, and the AI will shout in panic, "Sell! Sell! Sell!"
Government, is the problem. As always.
