I don't like drug lords, but El Chapo's business philosophy makes sense. It's crazy how the other cartels terrorize the population.

Well, also depends on the individuals talents and interests.

"The Grand Honkey Alliance" 😂 LMAOL

If you want a sense of how the Brits feels about the USA, watch the movie Love Actually.

There are certainly a few oddballs who would like to. However, nah, 30 million people a year who would want to move to a borderline totalitarian country with a lowish GDP per capita, insular society and strange language???
1
Good point. The only concern is that they might not be 100% loyal to the USA

Trump is an idiot

@autobootpiloot That is a super cheap rate. Are you Dutch? Unless the barge industry has a manpower need in the 100s of thousands, I can't imagine why it would be so hard to recruit Dutch crew members. It's possible that there is a lack of awareness among Dutch youth about the opportunity.

Well, when they take over the Russian far east, that will make sense.

The whole illegal immigration thing is a scam. Just makenit illegal to hire illegal aliens. Thats the solution.

Hmm, tariffs are just another form of taxation

So, China is not going to implode and completely lose its economy. It will still have around 600 to 700 million people by the end of the century. Use some combination of pragmatism and what appeals to you to inform your choices. If you love international trade and plan on dealing extensively with the Chinese, then learn Mandarin. Assuming you are a typical learner, it will take a lot of time and effort to master a language, so chose wisely.

​@pjpredhomme7699 I wish such high quality training was available for more trades.
1
My skeptical side has me believing that Peter made a video on the geopolitics of wine in order to write off the trip from his taxes 😅

​ @devalapar7878 Interesting. Yeah, and massive amounts more of grid energy to power those robots.

Is it possible to just recruit people who are good at their jobs without consideration of their race or gender?
1
Well, when I look at the wage levels of low to mid skill white collar work, it's reflective of the value they add, which is not that great. So, go get that blue collar job.

That's just Mexican culture...to glorify death. We gringos like to pretend it doesn't exist.
1
I find it absolutely amazing and brilliant that the Kremlin has been able to turn US citizens into tools of its propaganda machine.
1
Hmm, not 100% familiar with drone tech. However, it seems to me that counter measures could be invented to deal with a drone attack, especially if they are airborne.

Mexicos population growth is declining.

He is frolicking in the bushes with Mary Anne...

Makes sense to me. These are not stupid people.
1
China's population is projected to decline to 700,000,000 by the end of the century. Yes, that is a sharp decline in their population. But, dang. That's still a lot of people, with the same amount of farmland and housing. If the economy will have shrunk dramatically by then, well, there will be more than enough folks for the few jobs available.

We cant have Cuban workers in the USA. Their Spanish is impossible to understand 😂

@Jared Green It's a random, made up name of a hypothetical Mormon missionary, not the founder.
1
Umm, a lot of the homeless are severely mentally ill and drug addicted. They are not employable.
1
Hence Brexit

Trump's M.O. is power. The straightest path is the best, idealogy and law be damned.
1
So true. I grew up in the Seattle metro area. Pre 1990, Russians were merely an abstraction. Post 1992, they were all over the place and you over heard nearly as many Russian conversations as Spanish.

California wont be able to reinvent itself with its current political system, tax structure and homeless problem.

As an American, I just love the suspicious reception I get at the Canadian border, as if I planned on entering the country to reside there illegally and take away jobs from Canadians. The other thing to consider is that Canada itself is leaky. Many native born Canadians leave for better economic opportunities in the USA and same with a lot of first generation immigrants. They just use Canada as a trampoline to get into the USA.
1
 @adamlee2550 That's absurd. They would not be siding against the US by not siding with China.
1
 @thedadstale He probably fired his research assistant...😀
1
Bingo. I see a lot of gringos do hard ass labor jobs if the pay is right.
1
You have a fleet of dinghies used to intercept illegal alien penguins off your southern coast. So, you can't tell me you don't have a navy 😀

I think he said he was on vacation, so no long videos.

Thanks, Peter. I always suspected Canada was the 3rd rail of American politics 😂

Every weapon system has a counter measure

 @aglaea-k2p It is a strong force, but Japan and Australia have military forces capable of reaching out and touching China. Vietnam does not.

"We tried to make Iraq look like Wisconsin" 😂
1
Damn, Peter, first video of the morning and you are talking about the end of civilization and cannibalism. Way to start my day 🤣
1
And Trump has his hand on that whip.
1
Depends on your industry.
1
I hope he is not including skilled trades in his assessment of what low class blue collar trades are.
1
Well, I am certain they are far more special than the rank and file cannon fodder that make up your typical Russian infantry unit.

Biden was 3 years old when the first nuke was dropped.

Umm, OK, what you don't seem to mention is precisely how many poorly supplied, trained and motivated Russians soldiers are required to overcome Ukrains advantages in training, supplies and overall combat effectiveness due to having shorter supply lines, superior intelligence and equipment. A Russian soldier in Eastern Ukraine circa 2023 is not the same as a Russian soldier defending Stalingrad circa 1943.

80K Kiwis departing is 1.6% of the population...😮
