  1. Listening further, from a European point of view, the trickle down economics produced more inequality and hard work no longer guarantees you plenty. You are ignoring large and growing part of the population, also in the USA, that struggle to secure the basics, despite working their a$$ off. Many today can only dream about affording their own home with even two salaries, let alone just one, like it was in the past decades. Incredible number of people go without medical treatment or were forced to file for bankruptsy due to medical bills, some had to sell their home. So overall America is doing fine, but the inequality in wealth is astonishing. Don't forget about those less lucky than yourself. They are real, their struggle is real. Now I am learning like pharma and health professionals are in it together, promoting statins and low cholesterol, based on skewed research statistics, with a dementia as a ticking time bomb as a consequence. Not everyone has the agency to resist the push that is not addressing the real issue (corrupt food industry) but creating future issues by pushing to fix what isn't broken.

  2. I don't remember when I watched a Hollywood movie last time, never been to Disneyland, I prefer documentaries and similar educational content, BBC has plenty. As a kid I remember playing a game, a wolf catching eggs on 4 slots at an increasing speed, an electronic game, it had written Elektronika in azbuka and the wolf was a character from very funny Soviet cartoon series Nu Pogodi (wolf chasing a bunny and setting up traps). My neighbours had a similar game, a diver trying to reach a treasure avoiding the tentacles of a massive octopus. That was 80s and 90s. But I also bought sharpie highlighters back around 2000, made in USA and they still work! A bit chunky ones, plenty of ink in them, not used heavily. Last year I bought cheap highlighters in Wilko, made who knows where (probably China) and one was dry already. Things were made to last in the past, but also a country of origin could mean a better quality. Although I don't expect modern Sharpies last as long. I mentioned the RuSSian device in reference to a previous video of this kind. There were better times in that part of the world.

  3.  @Алексей-ч2ф9л  I cannot tell 30 years later, but it was produced in the USSR and exported. Back in those days Sojuz invested into R&D and had a bunch of clever people doing stuff. They were the first sending Sputnik up, to the panic of the West.
