Youtube comments of Me, Myself and I (@me-myself-i787).

  1. TikTok should stop trying to compensate creators. Such a measly amount of money provides little incentive to make content. TikTok is a platform full of new creators taking advantage of the low barrier to entry to gain large amounts of exposure, before transferring to more profitable platforms to make money. There's no need for additional compensation on top of that. Plus, removing the cash incentive would help return TikTok to its roots and make its content less corporate and professional.

  3. I don't see why having one unified account for all things Google was such a bad thing. In fact, they have it now - it's just called a Google account rather than a Google+ account, and the Google+ social media site no longer exists. Microsoft has Microsoft accounts, and Apple has iCloud accounts

  4. Apple, Google, and Microsoft make loads of money. And they're three of the biggest tech companies in the world.
    51
  5. Apple has transitioned from a growth-based company to a value-based company. They are starting to make a pretty consistent profit every year and use buybacks to return that money to shareholders. Similarly to how many other companies used to use dividends.

  7. The US dollar is basically already a CBDC. Far more money is stored digitally in the Federal Reserve than exists as physical notes. The only difference is banks acting as middlemen between the Federal Reserve and customers. Probably because the Federal Reserve wouldn't be able to keep track of so many individual accounts, making it more convenient to just service a few large accounts and have the banks store who owns what out of the money in their account.

  8. He's right! Spending drives the economy! Too many people are just saving, investing, etc. These people cause stagnation. They must be held accountable. People who rack up tons of credit card debt buying clothes, tech, visiting theme parks, etc. They're the real heroes.

  12. ​ @youngrootv You're misrepresenting it. People who believe in the "living Constitution" believe the courts should reinterpret the Constitution to "keep up with the times", whereas originalists believe that the Courts should interpret the Constitution as it's written (based on what the words meant when it was written, so words changing in meaning doesn't affect the meaning of the Constitution), and that the Constitution should be amended through the proper process.

  13. Yeah. Inflation is the rate at which prices increase. Lower inflation means prices increase slower. Deflation means prices go down.

  14. A tip does encourage good service. The tip they're asking for is what they'd get for average service, while exceptional service warrants a higher tip and poor service warrants a lower tip. Having the standard tip baked into the price removes the option of punishing bad workers by withholding a tip.

In a world where we have access to the Internet, providing instant communication with billions of people, we can find 1,000 people who are identical to us in all the ways that matter.

  19. Problem is population growth. There are more people and the same number of houses. Actually, the real problem is zoning rules preventing more houses from being built. But that's not an issue in rural areas. Problem is, many people don't want to live in rural areas because then they have to do everything themselves. But if a bunch of people move to an area with no zoning rules, they could start a small community with affordable housing.

  27. They changed the definition of the word "regulate". It used to mean "regularise", but then people changed the meaning to "control", vastly increasing the amount of power the US government has over interstate commerce. And activist judges are interpreting laws based on the modern definitions of the words in them, rather than the definitions at the time of the laws' passages.
    12
  28. Congress writes laws and makes policies. The executive branch enforces them. The judicial branch ensures Congress's laws follow the Constitution and ensures the executive branch follows Congress's laws. That's how it's supposed to work. Whereas under Chevron, the executive branch took on all 3 responsibilities, which led to an abuse of power. And Congress is in a better position to make policies than the executive branch because they're held accountable to the people they impose their policies on, and they have access to the best experts in the country to help determine what laws to pass. The executive branch has the second but not the first. Also, Congress is not allowed to make overly permissive laws which allow the executive branch to do whatever it wants. And if a law is highly technical and needs experts to help interpret it, then both the government and the people they're prosecuting should be allowed to hire experts to give testimony, rather than just the government. Also, in every other case, ambiguity is interpreted against the drafter.

  36. ​​ @Outwardpd  Shorting is important so people can make money when a stock's price goes down as well as when it goes up, creating an incentive for people to publish negative information about a company as well as positive information. Without short sellers, bad companies would stay in business for much longer. Shorting is selling a share in a company which you borrowed from someone else, then buying it back later on and giving it back to the owner. Borrowing shares is no different to borrowing money, and there's no reason for one to be illegal when the other one isn't.

  37. This makes my laptop look great by comparison. Only issue my laptop had was the battery died quite fast after a while of owning it. I asked my Dad to buy a replacement battery, but Dell didn't sell any (I checked Dell's website just to make sure), so Dad bought a replacement battery from a third-party. That battery was fake and held no charge at all, so I asked Dad to put the old battery back in, but he'd already sold it for recycling. And now I have to have my laptop plugged in whenever I want to use it. Which is a little annoying. Much better than fires, though. But my next laptop will definitely be a Framework (if I ever get another laptop).

  38. 2D animation actually takes less effort. It's why shows like Arcane and Monsters at Work have such big budgets compared with Rick and Morty, Bojack Horseman, and Peppa Pig. There are exceptions, e.g. Green Eggs and Ham was more expensive than Studio 100 shows, and Klaus was more expensive than My Little Pony: A New Generation, but in general, 3D takes more effort and costs more. Also, a good portion of modern 3D films include 2D segments, including Boss Baby, Coco, Puss in Boots 2: The Last Wish, and Spiderman: Into and Across the Spiderverse.

  41. Buybacks also have the option of selling the stock and getting the money to spend somewhere else or keeping the stock. The difference is, with dividends, you have to pay taxes regardless of whether you reinvest, and if you reinvest you have to pay taxes again once you sell the stock. In contrast, with stock buybacks, you only have to pay taxes when you sell the stock.

  44. It really doesn't matter to anyone except the exchanges which exchange people list their companies on. These days, everything is online and international and the Nasdaq is no less British than the London Stock Exchange is. British people can buy companies listed on the Nasdaq just like Americans can buy companies listed on the London Stock Exchange. And the only thing stopping companies from listing on the Ethereum network is out-of-date regulations. If the London Stock Exchange wants more companies to list with them and more people to invest in their companies, they need to be the ones to take action.

  51. Dual Class stocks aren't really an issue, because investors should know not to buy non-voting shares. And once someone owns a voting share, the company can't just reduce that stock's share of the vote. As for stock buybacks, they're just a more tax-efficient alternative to dividends. Many investors just reinvest their dividends, but they're taxed upon receiving the dividend and upon selling the share they bought with the dividend. On the other hand, with buybacks, you're only taxed when you sell the share. Buybacks are the best way for highly profitable companies which don't grow very much, such as Apple, to give profits to investors.

  55. Here's a totally legal way to save a ton of money on rent: Don't rent an apartment. Many parking places allow you to rent a parking space for just $60 per month. A parking space generally contains enough space to have a sleeping bag, or an air matress and duvet. Maybe even a microwave and a large battery pack. I would recommend choosing a covered parking space (i.e. one with a roof over your head). I would also recommend getting one with CCTV and a security guard, so you don't get st@bb3d. Also, get a sleep mask, because the lights are probably on 24/7. This is much cheaper than traditional apartments. Or you could just live with your parents.

  58. ​ @kappadarwin9476 Both sides is a right-wing talking point because leftists only watch content in their own echo chamber, and if they saw our arguments without them being taken out of context by leftist YouTubers, they might change their minds. Right-wingers are more likely to listen to the Left, though both sides have echo chambers. Also, remember, the Left (Soviet Russia) has killed more people through genocide than the Right (Nazi Germany). In summary, both sides commit genocide, and the right having a certain opinion doesn't make that opinion wrong.

  63. There's not much new housing being built because of all the zoning laws. Also, landlords would have an incentive to lower their rent if there was more property available, because landlords make no money from vacant units whereas they would make some money from units with low rent, and some money is better than no money.

  86. Classification: Democrat Vs Republican, Leftist Vs Right-winger Symbolisation: Trump hat, Libtard, Extremist, Groomer Discrimination: People are fired for political opinions Cities deny planning permission to build Chick-fil-A locations New laws restrict marginalised groups: "Hate" speech laws (note that political opinion is not a protected characteristic), gun laws, social media regulation making conservative platforms illegal Instances of bullying increase and societal divide widens: Flame wars, people breaking up / going no-contact with family members because of political beliefs We haven't reached dehumanisation yet Organisation: BLM riots, January 6th riot (please note, often, counter-protesters will join a peaceful protest and turn it violent to discredit the protestors and subsequently their beliefs. This is known as the ad-hominem fallacy.) Polarisation: Anyone who isn't democrat or republican is wasting their vote, the other side is full of evil pedos, racists, fascists, socialists, want to control America, greedy, selfish, idiotic (How could anyone support/oppose this policy?! It's common sense!) And then Biden promises to "unite the country"... And what better way to unite the country than against a common enemy... It's a good thing Biden doesn't have the charisma Hitler did... But Sanders and Trump do... Moderators silenced: Debate participants denounce moderators as biased (and in many cases, they're right) Preparation: Democrats want to release information about who donates to which political party, enabling violent criminals to target doners for political parties they disagree with (and most criminals lean Democrat because they're soft on crime) 8. Persecution - I don't think we've reached this yet. The lockdowns were supoosedly a security measure against CoViD, but they affected everyone equally so are unlikely to be part of this war Except most big tech companies and workers who benefitted from the lockdowns lean left And leftists are more likely to be chronically online, so the lockdowns just continued their normal behaviour Plus lockdowns didn't apply to people who got the vaccine But I still think it's a stretch to say we've reached this stage. The lockdowns were probably a legitimate attempt to combat CoViD, plus the vaccines did help combat CoViD so making vaccinated people exempt from lockdowns made sense, but if you're socially distanced in an outdoor area, you're unlikely to catch CoViD, so the lockdowns weren't really necessary. Also, there's no evidence that the vaccines reduced rebellious and dissident thoughts. Although there haven't been any studies on the subject. Extermination: We definitely haven't reached this stage

  90. SCOTUS's judges were nominated by presidents from both parties. The court was designed this way so that it would, as a whole, be politically neutral, since the right-wing judges would balance out the left-wing judges. Packing the court would make it more partisan, just like when Franklin D. Roosevelt packed the court following the New Deal being declared unconstitutional. The country is only now recovering from that. In practice, if the court can be freely packed, then whichever party is in charge will nominate enough judges to get a majority to approve their agenda, and the Constitution will stop being enforced.

  117. One female character I like is Gwen Stacy from the Spiderverse films. Firstly, she's more capable than Miles because she's been Spider-Woman for a year longer than him. Secondly, she's not capable at the expense of Peter B Parker. The only reason she needed to rescue Miles and Peter in that swinging scene was because Peter started glitching (not through any fault of his own, he was in the wrong universe) and he was the one holding the computer. Thirdly, she has inner turmoil related to coming out to her father. In Across the Spiderverse, her father (a cop) corners her and then she unmasks. The police think she killed her best friend, Peter Parker, and she did, but she didn't know it was him, since he'd transformed into the Lizard and was wrecking the city. So in the first film, she started out quite cold since she'd just dealt with the death of her best friend. But then in the second film, in a scene mirroring one from the first film, she unmasks in front of her father in an attempt to gain mercy. But this time, the outcome's different, since justice is a noble persuit, so he didn't find what he was doing immoral, whereas the person Miles unmasked in front of was a criminal and realized how much harm he was causing. Basically, what I'm saying is she has a bunch of inner turmoil and had to make many difficult decisions. These films have flaws, mainly their endings. Miles' monologue at the end of the first one about how the events of the movie caused him to realise that anyone can become Spiderman regardless of race or gender as long as they are bitten by a radioactive spider was stupid. Did he really think the spider bite only worked on white men? It's clearly meant to mirror Mary Jane's speech at Peter's funeral about how "in a way, we are all Spiderman. And we're all counting on you." But while that speech sounded similar to Miles' monologue on the surface, it had a completely different message. Our actions make us who we are. Doing the right thing because it's right is what makes someone a hero, like Spiderman. And at the end of the second film, Gwen talks about how she never found the right band for her, so she started her own, whilst standing in a cool pose while the rest of her teammates leap into action. The problem is, she's not really helping her team. She's just standing there while everyone else leaps into action. But overall, these are great films.

  118. It doesn't matter how much something is processed. What matters is what is inside. Huel is healthy, for example. Just avoid eating too much polyunsaturated fat (found in most vegetable oils) and sugar. Check the nutritional information label for both ingredients (polyunsaturated fat = total fat - saturated fat (unless it contains olive oil, avocado oil or canola oil and not much of any other vegetable oil; those three are mostly monounsaturated fat); sugar = total sugars). Also, don't eat anything containing trans fat. Also, try to eat stuff with lots of fibre (listed as dietary fiber).

  122. I wouldn't give Barbie that label. It doesn't deserve it. It has been a while since I've seen it, and maybe I would enjoy it more the second time, but lots of people didn't enjoy it. There are loads of woman-centric films, but a good portion of the modern ones aren't very good. There are some great ones, including The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Tangled, Inside Out, Across the Spiderverse (Gwen and that other woman play a major role in the story although Miles is still the protagonist, so some people might not count it), and maybe Frozen depending on who you ask. (Also, I'm somewhat worried about that Spider-Woman movie, considering how the Spiderverse franchise correlates with the MCU. Into the Spiderverse is like Avengers: Assemble, Across the Spiderverse's first half is like Avengers: Infinity War, and the second half is like Captain America: Civil War. Where does that leave the other two? Obviously Beyond the Spiderverse will be like Endgame (which is why I predict it will involve time travel), but what about Spider-Woman? That looks like it will either be like Captain Marvel or The Marvels. Captain Marvel is not a good film, and The Marvels probably won't be. Although, Phil Lord and Chris Miller are great at writing characters, so that should compensate for the bad plot, just like in The Mitchells Vs the Machines.) But recently, there have been lots of awful woman-centric films, so it will take a lot for them to regain prominence. Films like Captain Marvel, Mulan (2019), Toy Story 4 (they made Woody a simp and portrayed Bo Peep as a Mary Sue, and as being in the right for abandoning her child (the exact opposite message of all the previous films).), and many others. Not to mention shows like She-Hulk.

(Or at least, that's the excuse they used; they had no real reason to believe they would be held responsible. But if the law you propose was passed, then they would have a good reason to do that. And banks would probably prohibit any transactions that aren't sending money to either a large corporation, the government, or a family member, so that way, the bank can be certain their customer isn't being scammed. This sort of thing would kill small businesses.

To be fair, the Barbie movie would probably be less popular if the marketing wasn't so good at creating intrigue whilst hiding the unwanted political messages, so you get surprised by them when you watch the film. Plus the fact that Barbie is a massive IP without any big-budget movies surrounding it. Come to think of it, it seems in 2023, marketing and optics has more of an impact on box-office performance than quality. But this is probably just a fluke, since there aren't many major IPs which lack surrounding movies.

  150. The US has only had superior returns historically because so much bad stuff hasn't happened to the US. These returns will not continue because bad stuff not happening to the US is now priced in. Also, the reason US stocks have grown so much in recent years is because so many people are starting to invest who never used to invest, and most online influencers (plus Warren Buffet) recommend either the S&P 500 or some subset of MAGFA (Microsoft Amazon Google Facebook Apple). Mostly the S&P 500. As a result, the companies in that index have undergone multiple expansion far faster than other companies worldwide, but worldwide companies have equally good fundamentals, so international stocks have higher expected returns. Personally, I'm mainly invested in IWFQ, plus some IWFV and EMVL for diversification. IWQU (which is basically IWFQ but dollars instead of pounds, which makes it more comparable with SPY) has only underperformed SPY by a tiny bit, and the difference is not statistically significant, but IWQU has more diversification.

And I don't believe the allegations that he assaulted E Jean Carrol. There wasn't much evidence and there was a biased New York jury (which was unavoidable since most people in New York are biased, including the judges). These political prosecutions only make Trump more popular. PaddyPower has him at a >60% chance of winning.

(I made a suggestion which would've allowed the whole family to sleep in rooms with an air conditioner whilst separating my father from the rest of the family - he's a mouth-breather and snores as a result - nose-breathers don't snore; the family rejected my proposal so one of them had to sleep in the room with the rubbish AC.)

The reason he told me not to open the blinds was because I needed to learn to follow instructions, and I never wanted to do anything actually bad. Although to be fair, in the workplace, my boss might tell me to do something stupid and I will have to obey because he's my boss. So he is preparing me for the real world.

  177. GDP doesn't matter. GDP is a measure of spending. What matters is inflation-adjusted GDP, since that measures how much people are actually making. Because as products improve and the economy becomes more efficient, prices fall, causing deflation with an equivalent level of spending. However, increased spending (usually as a result of an increased money supply) counteracts this and causes inflation, but the level of spending has no impact on people's quality of life, so should be factored out, which is why GDP is included in the equation. However, most economists have misunderstood and have been pursuing inflation to boost GDPs, and have been saying the economy's doing well because nominal GDP is up even though inflation-adjusted GDP is down.

Or, even more likely, they'll send you a bill for more money than they expect to make from a lawsuit, because they know you are unlikely to know that you'd probably be better off taking it to court. Whatever they do, they make more money than they would've if you bought the product legitimately. That's why they do this stuff: to get people to fight back by pirating their content, so that they can make more money suing you or settling out of court than they would've selling their stuff.

  222. The UK and the US are already in VWRL, so investong in them separately skews the weightings and increases risk. Plus, the UK is performing terribly. Also, I'd recommend VWRP over VWRL, because VWRP requires less effort on your part. With VWRL, you have to reinvest dividends yourself, whereas VWRP does it for you, allowing you to get the same returns with less effort. And not reinvesting dividends would significantly harm returns. But also, SSAC is better than both judging based on past performance. Although, I'm surprised SSAC's past performance is so much better, considering they're basically the same thing. But they're run by different companies.

  263. Well, when growth comes to an end, companies can stop reinvesting their profits into growth and start spending them on stock buybacks to raise the stock price and return value to investors. (Or they could pay out dividends, but investors generally prefer the stock price growing over dividends.) So, even if profits (and market cap) stop increasing every year, companies can still grow their stock price. That's what Apple is doing. The problem with Amazon is that they're not making large profits or growing.

But that's just bigger fool theory. But there's a better explanation which doesn't rely on greater fool theory. Active traders don't monitor their portfolio 24/7 and many don't even try to time the market, so they often don't sell or buy stocks as soon as is optimal, so prices often don't immediately change as much as they should, and so momentum profits on the difference between how much the price changed and how much it should've changed based on the change in fundamentals which resulted in the initial price change.

A $1000 monthly UBI for the poorest 25% of the population with all other benefits eliminated would be more feasible. That would only cost about $900 billion per year, which is less than Medicare and Social Security cost. Also, obviously, the benefits should be reduced gradually as you make more income, as opposed to losing all of them suddenly once you cross a certain income threshold. Making more money should never result in taking home less.

  272. ​ @alwillk The only labour law which actually could've improved working conditions was OSHA, and that was only implemented after the free market had already significantly improved working conditions. Child labour laws made childhood significantly more expensive and significantly reduced birthrates with no real benefit and made families significantly poorer, and the only people who benefitted were adults without children who no longer had to compete with children; but even they were harmed because everything they wanted to buy was way more expensive as a result of the reduced supply of labour. Minimum wage laws helped no-one. If someone is paid less than what they're worth, they can find another job which will pay them what they're worth, or start their own business. As a result, most workers are paid what they're worth, and the only exception is a few workers who don't know their own worth, or whose value is tied to the company they work for (e.g. they're great at making Ford Model Ts but have no transferable skills which would help them in a different job). Other than those workers, the minimum wage only resulted in layoffs, because the minimum wage was higher than those workers were worth. That is probably the main impact of the minimum wage. But a slim majority of workers were unaffected because they already made more than the minimum wage; but even they were affected by the increased cost of products. And when breaks help workers do their jobs better, companies provide them. No need for government intervention. Mandatory breaks only affects workers who otherwise wouldn't have breaks because it doesn't benefit them, e.g. because their job requires intense focus and can be done most effectively when they're in their flow state, and breaks break the flow state, so afterwards, they have to regain their focus all over again.

  276. Well, if people would rather come there on holiday instead of living there long-term, they should be allowed to do that without government interference. Restricting the supply of hotels and requiring other apartments to rent out long-term lowers the number of tourists who can come to the city and unfairly favours people who want to live there long-term. The only reason short-term rentals are more profitable than long-term ones is because the government artificially restricts their supply. Allowing more hotels to be built would lower hotel costs. Increased short-term rentals don't artificially raise prices for locals; they naturally raise long-term rental prices and decrease short-term rental prices so that locals pay about the same amount as tourists. Of course, unwanted behaviour such as drunkenness and loud noises should be prohibited in public places. (And no, grocery stores, pubs, and restaurants are not public places. The owner has the right to allow drunk people, beggars and other unwanted behaviour if they do choose, as long as those people don't enter public areas (and in the case of noise, the building must be soundproofed).) Locals need to stop acting so entitled. It's not their city. They don't own the place. The city belongs to the landowners, and they have the right to do whatever they want with their land. And that includes evicting locals and renting it out to tourists.

  289. Remember, investment comes with risk. When you lend out money, there's the risk you won't get it back, and that's what the interest rate compensates you for. When you buy shares in a company, there's the risk the company will start making less money and their stock price will go down as a result. They might even go bankrupt, and then you lose all the money you put in. (Unless the company gets enough money from selling all of its assets to pay all its debts and has some left over for shareholders, and even then you'll lose most of your money.) You're not entitled to compensation just because a known risk came to play out. Your stock broker won't compensate you if a stock you buy falls in value, just like how Gemini won't compensate you if the person you lend to fails to pay you back. Edit: Although, if you buy a certain company because your stock broker lies about its financials, they could be liable. Just like how Gemini could be liable because they said their loans were overcollateralised when they really weren't.

You have all the essentials: a roof over your head, security, and enough land for an air mattress, without illegally trespassing on public property (sleeping on the pavement is generally illegal because it takes up space which would otherwise be used by pedestrians). You just don't have the luxuries that come with an apartment, such as walls, aesthetics, utilities, appliances (e.g. dishwashers, washing machines, tumble dryers), and multiple rooms for eating, sleeping and relaxing. You have to do everything in the same place. However, you could go to Costco and buy a large battery and water tank and filter (but still small enough to fit inside the parking space you're renting), and maybe even use that power to power a microwave and eat hot meals. Obviously you wouldn't have a refrigerator, so you would need to get food which can last without being in the fridge. And you could still wash your clothes every so often at a laundromat. And get a Planet Fitness or PureGym subscription and use their showers. It's not as nice as a regular apartment, but it is helpful for improving your savings and living a nicer life in the future.

So, someone could be found not guilty, but the accuser could still be found not liable for defamation.

Whereas this year, I only know of two movies which even scored above 8/10: Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer (8.5/10, rank 47) and Phil Lord and Chris Miller's Spiderman: Across the Spiderverse (8.7/10, rank 24). (Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part One was rated 8.2/10, but it's dropped down to 7.8/10. Also, Across the Spiderverse used to be 8.9/10 and in the top 15 best movies ever, but its rank has moved down to a more realistic #24.) Those are also the only two movies I really enjoyed this year. Dead Reckoning was also decent, though. Also, those two movies are definitely deserving of their rankings. I didn't enjoy Oppenheimer as much as I should've because I was spoiled about some key moments, but it was still a great movie.

Volkswagen (VOW3.DE) has a price-to-earnings ratio (stock price ÷ earnings per share) of 3.81, but the dividend yield (annual dividend ÷ stock price) is only 7.92%, not 26.25%. Berkshire Hathaway paid no dividend at all but their earnings was $96 billion last year.

  347. It's not hard to check the nutritional information label. You want food high in fibre, low in sugar, and low in polyunsaturated fat. (Although, most labels don't distinguish between bad polyunsaturated fat and good monounsaturated fat. But you need some polyunsaturated fat in your diet.) Other aspects, like how much monounsaturated fat, starch, protein, vitamins and minerals you need depends on your body, and you should consult a dietician. Generally, older people should consume less protein, and young people who do lots of exercise should consume more protein. And when the vitamin and mineral content is close to the reference intake, be careful. Often there's no danger in eating too much, but often there is. Check online to discover how much is safe.

I haven't listened to the rest of Macklemore's raps, so I wouldn't know if he had some derogatory stuff in his other raps. And Elevate by DJ Khalil is also quite clean. Actually, most songs from Spiderman: Into the Spiderverse are clean raps made by men. Of course, those are the exceptions to the general rule.

Office design and leasing companies need to rent or buy office spaces and spend money redesigning and remodeling them. That's why venture capitalists (or, in the case of movie studios, distributors,) exist: to provide the funding necessary to start the company in exchange for a portion of the money it makes.

  367. Basically, all of your money goes towards buying companies, as opposed to alternative investments. Equities provide better returns with higher risks than bonds (lending money), whilst providing better returns with lower risk than commodities, crypto and real estate. You can invest in equity wherever you live. Just sign up for Interactive Brokers (IBKR), Fidelity, or some brokerage which is available in your region. Then, either pick companies to invest in or search up "MSCI" and you can invest in large groups of companies. Since you're not very experienced, I would recommend investing into "MSCI ACWI". They invest in most companies worldwide, and are a good option for beginners. You can look at some of MSCI's other funds once you're more experienced, but they come with higher risks of losses.

  376. I don't understand why no-one else has started making their own, cheaper insulin. It's not like there are patents preventing it: the patent for insulin expired a long time ago. There are still patents surrounding improved methods for manufacturing insulin, but you don't have to use them. I think the problem is, people over 25 have fully-developed brains so are no longer capable of trying something new (like making an insulin manufacturing business), whilst younger people are bogged down by mandatory education. Edit: Apparently the FDA is the problem, making it illegal to sell similar drugs without going through an expensive approval process. But then, why isn't there black market insulin? Actually, there probably is, we just don't know about it. Also, evergreening isn't the issue. People could use older versions of the drug.

  378. ​​ @TheBLGL Those are not comparable. Healthcare in the US is expensive because of all the regulation restricting competition, such as occupational licensing, certificates of need, and the Affordable Care Act. Charter schools aren't subject to as much regulation, so will be cheaper. Private prisons worked out badly because the laws authorising them were poorly-written. A good private prison system would not have minimum occupancy requirements and would have the prisoners rented out to the highest bidder, with the requirement that they be returned in good condition at the end of their sentence, and with the rented being liable for any actions taken by their prisoners. That way, it would've made money rather than costing money, would've avoided the issue of minimum occupancy requirements, and would've served the purpose of protecting the public from these prisoners, ensuring they repay their debt to society and their victims, punishing them, and ensuring that they're fit for release by the end of their sentence more effectively than regular prisons, and revenue from this would've supplemented state budgets rather than draining them. But charter schools are paid per student and don't have minimum occupancy requirements, so it won't have the issues of private prisons. Plus, because school is not a punishment, children and their parents are allowed to choose which school to send their children to. Thirdly, the Texas electrical grid was not run by private companies. Fourthly, excessive war is happening because the public voted for representatives and senators who voted for these wars, and all privatisation did was make it cheaper. And finally, the Jackson water treatment plant was not run by private companies. Whereas if you look at the tech sector, where there is little regulation, things are going great. Tech is getting cheaper and better every year and most online services are free and reliable.

Plus, these two companies are profiting the most from the Barbenheimer phenomenon (two great original films with lots of practical effects and lots of hype surrounding them which were released on the same day. It's become a trend to watch these movies as a double-feature). Plus, Google, Apple and Microsoft all compete against each other, so they aren't monopolies either. Just a few years ago, everyone thought Meta was too big to fail, and look at where they are now. Plus, BlackRock and Vanguard don't have a monopoly on the investing market.

  401. 1:10 It sounds ridiculous because you're doing a terrible job of explaining it. A stock buyback increases your share of the company. So, instead of owning 10% of a $1000 company, you now own 20% of a $500 company, because the company spent $500 buying back its shares. Now, let's say that the company makes $1000. Now, it's a $1,500 company which you own 20% of, so you have $300. Meanwhile, if the buyback hadn't taken place, then after the company made $1000, it would be worth $2000 and you'd own 10% of it, so $200. Thanks to buybacks, your profits are amplified, but so are your losses. If the company lost $250, then without the buyback, you'd have had 10% of $750 = $75, whereas with the buyback, you have 20% of $250 = $50. Buybacks have no immediate impact but have a drastic impact on future performance.

Really, at the bare minimum, unlicensed work should be treated like 18-rated work, not made illegal entirely. But this law only applies to physical media and cinemas, not streaming. So, you can distribute your content to others without the BBFC's permission, if you have permission from an internet service provider.

  448. My guess: ACWI or VT. More inflation means people have more money to put into the stock market, so these stock prices will grow (or in real terms, remain the same). Plus, whilst individual companies are volatile, the stock market as a whole isn't. Another good hedge is an inflation-adjusted bond. But those are rare. Plus, it only works if CPI figures are accurate.

And don't tell me you don't believe in abortion restrictions so my point is irrelevant. I doubt you support abortion on-demand until the time of birth. You probably want it legal for the first 20 or so weeks, and then after that, legal in exceptional circumstances. Even Roe Vs Wade didn't protect abortion until the time of birth.

  453. "If your strategy wouldn't work without government intervention, it's a bad strategy." - Me, Now The only reason banks are giving out cheap mortgages rather than buying homes and renting them out is because it's illegal for consumer banks to make investments. That's also the reason the stock market is so rewarding. If consumer banks could make investments, the stock market and the housing market would be much less profitable (and back when these laws were passed, only rich people invested in these sectors, so this law benefitted rich investors at the expense of middle-class savers), and interest rates in savings accounts would be higher, so ordinary people would be better off at the expense of the few who invest in the stock market. Plus, society would benefit from the increased innovation as a result of the extra capital in the stock market.

  454. The issue is the term "growth". It implies increased consumption. Growth is actually supposed to mean increased efficiency. And that's what capitalism incentivises. If the product remains the same, you can continue charging the same amount, so if the production process gets cheaper, you can make more money. Unfortunately, GDP measures consumption, and increased GDPs look good politically, so politicians try to make the economy less efficient.

  456. 13:50 Depends what company it is. If you don't take profits, then often, you'll end up losing more than you put in. My Dad made the mistake of not listening to me when I told him to take profits from SafeMoon, and it crashed. (But he only put £200 in, which was only £1000 by the time it reached the peak. So he only lost £200 and only missed out on £1000 from not following my advice.) Then again, he missed out on a good amount of gains after I convinced him to sell MicroStrategy. (He still made a lot, but not as much as he could've.) My Dad's great at picking stocks to buy, but not very good at knowing when to sell. Sometimes, a stock can be a good buy at the price you bought it but not a good buy at the price you sell it for.

  483. Put options are a great idea because they allow people to make money when stock prices go down without the unlimited downside potential of selling futures or shorting. It's like call options except whilst call options give you the option to buy a stock for the strike price within a certain time period, put options give you the option to sell a stock for the strike price within a certain time period. So, if the stock goes way down, you make a good amount of money. If the stock goes way up, you only lose a little bit of money. And if the stock price remains flat, you only lose a little bit of money. And the other party benefits too, because unless the price goes way down, they'll make money selling puts, and their downside is also capped. But calls are stupid.

At either restaurant, an exceptional worker could be tipped extra. However, only at the first restaurant can the tip be withheld from a bad worker. Having the tip baked into the price is just the same thing as a mandatory tip. Which still allows exceptional service to be rewarded, but doesn't allow poor service to be punished.

  557. The Supreme Court was designed to be politically neutral, because its members are composed of appointees from many different administrations with different beliefs, and they keep their position for life so they can focus on enforcing the Constitution rather than on getting re-elected. I don't see any better way of enforcing the Constitution. And the Constitution is designed to only be amended when the vast majority of the country supports it because a Constitutional Amendment fundamentally changes the country. Constitutional amendments can remove people's rights or give them new ones, or significantly limit or expand the government's power. If it could be amended easily, then America would end up like Canada, Australia and Europe, where slim majorities can implement radical changes such as hate speech laws and that sort of thing.

If a company does a stock buyback, then your stake in the company will increase just like it would have if it had paid dividends and you had reinvested them. Except you don't have to pay any taxes. Dividends are better when a company is overvalued; buybacks are better when it's undervalued.

  583. "Anytime a Founding CEO leaves the major leading position of a company, things go downhill." Not with Google and Microsoft. Most of their growth happened after their founders (Larry Page and Sergei Brin with Google, or Bill Gates with Microsoft) step down and were replaced (in Google's case, with Eric Schmidt and later Sundar Pichai, and in Microsoft's case, with Steve Ballmer and later Satya Nadella). Apple is a special case, because after Steve Jobs did a bad job as CEO and was replaced with another CEO who nearly bankrupted the company, when Steve Jobs was brought back, he actually learned from his mistakes, and used the money which Microsoft invested in Apple (Microsoft invested the money to show regulators that they weren't a monopoly) to turn Apple into a giant. But even with Apple, massive amounts of growth were achieved under Tim Cook.

If they wanted to have access to apps outside the App Store, then they would've bought an Android. If Apple allowed third-party stores, they wouldn't be able to charge such high fees, which means they wouldn't be able to afford to hire manual reviewers to review all the apps on the App Store and filter them for quality, reliability, safety and privacy, so instead they'd have to use an automated system, similar to Google Play. Also, they would have less negotiating power with developers, so no more "Ask App Not to Track" and other consumer-friendly features.

Plus, Wreck-It Ralph (based on word-of-mouth), and Zootopia. And outside of Disney, there are even more great movies. Both Spiderverse films (and probably the 3rd one when it comes out), as well as most Christopher Nolan films (the only one I've seen is Oppenheimer, so this is based on what others have said). Plus probably Man of Steel and Batman Vs Superman: Ultimate Edition. And most pre-acquisition Pixar films.

Or, if kids are allowed to use pens and paper in school, you should only allow bad pens (e.g. ballpoints where you have to press down way too hard to get ink out, or rollerballs where the ink takes too long to dry and smudges all the time), so typing will be easier.

Nvidia has a RONCA of 139%, which is very high, but could serve as a useful benchmark for comparing UK companies to. TSMC (TSM) has a RONCA of 39.7%. 3i (III.L) has a RONCA of 21.5%. Shell (SHEL.L) has a RONCA of 6.6%. AstraZenica (AZN.L) has a RONCA of 8.3%. HSBC (HSBA.L) has a RONCA of 0.77%. Unilever (ULVR.L) has a RONCA of 11.3%. Rio (RIO.L) has a RONCA of 12.1%.

However, many people want the government to pay for their education, because "an educated society benefits everyone", despite those educated people then using intellectual property and trade secrets to prevent others from benefiting from their work. Also, there are many cheaper alternatives to university which are generally good enough. There are many people who would be willing to choose a less experienced, less well-trained, less safe doctor if it meant they wouldn't have to pay as much for their healthcare. Occupational licensing regulations are denying people this option. Also, 2020 would have been worse if people trusted the government's "experts" more.

Or if they decided that researching and developing a better package manager is not worth it, because regular Windows executables are good enough.

  628. Dating apps are difficult to monetise because the only people who are willing to pay for a dating app are those who can't find a partner anywhere else, so if a dating app costs money, the only people on there will be not very good partners, so the app won't do well, but if it has optional paid features, then using those paid features would be a red flag. Advertising is an option, and could potentially work, although some people might find it tacky. I think the best option is data collection. The app could gather information about what sort of people you are attracted to and your interests, and then use that information in adverts across the Internet. This would work best if it was owned by a company such as Meta or Alphabet. That way, there wouldn't be the incentive to keep people single, because these apps could easily funnel their users to one of the company's other social media platforms. And the data collected could be used to target ads throughout the network. Plus, if you fine a partner on a certain app, that could increase your goodwill towards the creators of the app. Plus, they could sneak in some adverts for romantic experiences, such as high-end restaurants, package holidays, theme parks, soft play or water parks. These adverts could be highly-profitable. It doesn't take much creativity to figure out how to monetise a dating app whilst avoiding conflicts of interest. And you could charge for some features, such as end-to-end encryption, or larger file transfers.

Obviously, private equity doesn't always succeed in its goals, and when it fails, it loses money. Some private equity companies buy a company, butcher it, and lose money as a result. But the ones which survive for long periods of time are the ones which usually don't lose money.

Unless you can convince your parents to drive you there. Even still, many playgrounds are exclusively for children aged 12 and under. So you have to drive even further to a playground you're actually allowed to use, or go to an expensive theme park. Many parents are too lazy to drive their children anywhere, and won't let their children out on their own. And even if parents are willing to drive their kids somewhere, they're not willing to pay $30 for a theme park ticket. They could get an annual pass, but why would they when the Internet's free?

Reckitt Benckiser Group - #148 overall Source: iShares MSCI World Quality Factor ETF - Holdings Information These companies are ranked based on return on equity (presumably net income ÷ total shareholder equity; higher is better), debt-to-equity (presumably total liabilities ÷ total shareholder equity; lower is better), and earnings variability (lower is better). As you can see, the UK doesn't have very high-quality businesses relative to the rest of the world. This is likely a result of poor management, which is a result of British people's work ethics and British people in general not being very smart.

Maybe having tax-free retirement accounts isn't a good idea, but there's no reason to disincentivise good investing by capping the gains allowed in a Roth. Also, of course companies should aim to drive their competitors out of business. The way they do that is by offering better products at better prices than their competitors. Companies don't usually succeed at this goal, but it's good that they try. And supersonic jets and nuclear power are a good idea. And the FDA has gotten too burdensome.

  675. When a company spends money, that expense is written off, so they only pay taxes on their profits. Say a company spends $8 million on something and sells it for $10 million. They would pay taxes on the $2 million they made in profit, not on the full $10 million. The $8 million expense is written off. The expenses associated with movies would also get written off. However, since they still own the copyright, it's still an asset for them, so they can't write off the entire expense straight away. Instead, as the movie becomes less relevant and the copyright approaches expiration, the copyright depreciates in value and that depreciation is written off as an expense. Only difference canning a movie makes is that they can write off the whole expense in one go rather than over many years. Of course, the money saved as a result of a tax write-off is always significantly lower than the amount of money spent on the expense, so Warner would be better off selling the copyright to the highest bidder and then, if they sell it for less than it cost to produce, they can write off the difference as an expense. I don't know why David Zanslav made such a stupid decision. But if you own shares in Warner Bros Discovery, you can fire the Board of Directors in the next Annual General Meeting.

  679. Rent control with an exception for new construction would probably increase the supply of new construction, because all the existing buildings are used up by rent-controlled renters who are unlikely to leave anytime soon, so there's a lower supply of available housing so developers of new houses will be able to charge a ton and make a ton of money. Then, the rent control ordinance is expanded to cover housing built after rent control ordinance #1, and only housing built after rent control ordinance #2 will be exempt. Politicians expect to increase the supply of new housing, just like last time. Instead, the supply of new housing nosedives. Developers don't trust the city government anymore, and they think, "By the time I finish building any new houses, the rent control ordinance will have expanded further." New housing stops being built, and anyone who wants to move into the city can't find a home anymore, because they're all used up by rent-controlled renters. Eventually, without a supply of fresh, innovative minds, the city begins to stagnate, flounder and fail.

And state courts can't punish anyone for any action which doesn't violate either state law or the state constitution or the federal Constitution. The Constitution does not limit speech, and since only Congress can pass federal law, the Constitution prevents federal law for limiting speech. As for state law limiting speech, that used to be allowed since state legislatures are separate from Congress. However, the 14th Amendment says, "No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States". This prohibits states from violating the Bill of Rights, including the 1st Amendment. So regardless of whether the court prosecuting Trump is state or federal, they cannot restrict his speech.

Because the earnings are flat, those businesses are priced lower relative to their earnings (a business growing 20% per year will often have a P/E of 30 whilst a flat business will have a P/E of 15), so that way you get the same return you would with a growing company. Problem is, if a growing company stops growing, it will still be priced like a growth company in the short-term, and when it becomes clear it's not growing, the price will fall to that of a stable company (no-one is willing to pay 30x earnings for a flat company), and shareholders will lose a lot of money.

  759. I think money laundering laws are unconstitutional. The 5th Amendment protects against mandatory self-incrimination. For example, if a prosecutor asks the defendant on the stand whether he/she did the crime, the defendant could say "Yes", be convicted, and go to prison. Alternatively, the defendant could say under oath that they didn't do the crime. Then, if they're convicted, the prosecutor could additionally convict them of purjery and lying under oath, increasing their sentence. Thanks to the 5th Amendment, they have a 3rd option: "I plead the 5th". It's not a confession, AND it's not lying under oath in the case of guilt. Now, here's the thing. Tax evasion is illegal. So, if a criminal makes money illegally, he/she has to declare where he/she got the money from and pay taxes on it, to avoid committing tax evasion. Prosecutors can then use this intel to prosecute the criminal for their crimes. So, either the drug dealer declares his income, pays taxes, and goes to prison for drug dealing, or doesn't declare his income, doesn't pay taxes, and goes to prison for tax evasion. Or, there's a third option. Declaring the taxes came from a legitimate business. No tax evasion, no getting caught drug dealing. The 5th Amendment should allow this. But no. This is considered money laundering. If money laundering is illegal, "witness laundering" (i.e. pleading the 5th) should also be illegal.

Also, BlackRock doesn't invest in real estate, and Blackstone doesn't invest much in real estate. Blackstone's main investments are Lego and Merlin Entertainment (owners of Alton Towers, Thorpe Park, Chessington: World of Adventures, Heide Park, GardaLand, all the Legoland parks, and probably some others I've forgotten about). Meanwhile, BlackRock is mainly known for their iShares ETFs, which have a much better website than most other ETF providers such as Vanguard but BlackRock has slightly higher fees, which is how they (but still much lower than the fees for actively-managed funds). These ETFs passively invest based on a number of factors. Their main ETFs invest based solely on how big the company is, but some others invest based on how well companies performed in the past, based on their return-on-equity, or based on their price-to-earnings ratio. iShares allows investors to choose how their money is invested without the hassle of buying individual shares. The main companies which are buying up single-family homes are Invitation Homes (INVH) and American Homes 4 Rent (AMH), both of which own tiny fractions of the total housing supply.

  784.  @WanderingExistence  Medical costs are so expensive because of regulations, including Certificate of Need laws and the Affordable Care Act. And the elderly could live with their children. Or if they don't have children, that means they wouldn't have had the expense of raising children, and would've been able to afford to purchase a long-term lease on a small apartment. Plus, if their money is invested in the stock market, they won't be living on a fixed income, since stocks grow exponentially. As long as they have a sufficiently large nest egg and don't spend too much. Assuming 5% growth per year and annual spending of $10,000, you would need a $200,000 nest egg. Which is quite large, but not that unrealistic for a lifetime of saving, especially if you don't have children. Plus, generally, the market grows faster than 5% per year. So, assuming a 7% growth rate per year and annual spending of 5% of the invested money, with an initial investment of $200,000, after 5 years, you could spend over $11,000 per year, and you would have over $220,000 invested in the market. And it would keep growing. As for the sick and disabled, their family can help support them. Unless they were so mean to their family that they don't want to help. Or their family doesn't make much money. But even then, non-profits can help. As for how someone could save up $200,000, assuming they make $20,000 per year (a middling income), if they have a frugal lifestyle and only spend $10,000 per year, that's $10,000 per year in savings. Now, let's say they invest that money into the stock market, and assume they work for 40 years (20-50). This will be somewhat difficult to calculate. $10,000 × 1.07^40 + $10,000 × 1.07^39 + $10,000 × 1.07^38 + $10,000 × 1.07^37 + $10,000 × 1.07^36 + $10,000 × 1.07^35 + $10,000 × 1.07^34 + $10,000 × 1.07^33 + $10,000 × 1.07^32 + $10,000 × 1.07^31 + $10,000 × 1.07^30+... Etc. The result is over $1 million. Even if their investments make no returns, $10,000 × 40 = $400,000. Which is double the minimum nest egg to retire with $10,000 per year.

  785.  @DipayanPyne94  Turns out, YouTube has a character limit. Here's the rest of my comment: Charities can help if you're sick and disabled and your family hates you or is too poor to help. As for how you'd save up $200,000, assuming a middling income of $20,000 per year, and a frugal expenditure of $10,000 per year with the rest of the money saved up, that's $10,000 per year in savings. Even if they don't invest the money into the stock market, $10,000 per year × 40 working years (24-64) = a $400,000 nest egg, double what is necessary for a retirement income of $10,000 per year. Even if you retire early at 54, that's still $300,000 saved up. Plenty of money. Or if you retire at 64 but have $100,000 in medical expenses in 40 years. And if you do invest your savings into the stock market, you could end up with a nest egg of over $1 million. And $20,000 per year is not an unrealistic income. Obviously, you won't make that much at the start of your career, but you will make more than that at the end of your career. So it balances out. Edit: Now the rest of my original comment has appeared, so this comment is somewhat redundant.

  798. Investing is easy. Just put all your money into ACWI (iShares MSCI All-Countries World Index ETF). They automatically invest in 3,000 companies worldwide, allocating funds based on how big the company is. That's the safest option. Or, you could put your money in IWQU.L. (iShares MSCI World Quality Factor ETF) They invest in companies which get a good return on the money they put in, have stable earnings, and have low debt. It has historically outperformed compared with the ACWI, but it invests in fewer companies and only invests in developed countries, so it's slightly riskier. But they still invest in over 200 companies, so it's still a very safe investment. Or, you could put your money into BRK-B (Berkshire Hathaway) and let Warren Buffet manage it for you. He has beaten the market consistently. But he is getting older and he isn't as sharp as he used to be, so he might not make the best decisions in the future. Plus, Berkshire Hathaway has a lot of debt. As a result, it's not as safe as the other investments on my list. Or, you could invest into Pershing Square Holdings. They have had exceptional returns over the past 5 years, but no-one knows what they're invested in, and they're not covered by American securities exchange laws, so they're riskier than the other options I talked about. All these private fund managers have done poorly because they have used riskier strategies in an attempt to beat the market and justify their high costs.

(Speaking of which, if your work enters the public domain because it's over 96 years old, but then copyright is extended to 120 years, would you get your copyright back since it is under 120 years old, or would the work remain in the public domain because it entered the public domain before the law was passed?)

Patreon donations and in-video/in-post sponsorships already make up a significant portion of the revenue creators make, so they'd probably make even more money if there weren't other ads on the platform distracting users from their sponsorships, and if they didn't have to pay Patreon's obscene transaction fees. As for the platform itself, they could also request donations. Maybe whenever the user opens the app, if they've donated less than $5 in the past month, it will interrupt them and ask for a donation. But also, because PeerTube uses BitTorrent technology, it will probably be much cheaper to run than YouTube. And other decentralised social media are probably even cheaper to run.

  892. The issue is, big tech companies have a P/E ratio of around 30, which makes sense for a growing company, whereas most companies with stable profits have P/E ratios of around 10. If big tech companies aren't growing, why would anyone invest in them when they could get 3× as much revenue for the same investment? So, big tech share prices will fall until the P/E ratio reaches 10, so their shareholders will lose 2/3 of their investment unless these companies find a way to keep growing.

  893. eToro's CopyTrader is authorised by the FCA, unlike Eledator. But it's still risky because the person you're copying could easily screw you over to benefit themselves by buying crypto on another platform before buying it on eToro and then selling it on the other platform. Better to just avoid this sort of thing and stick with reputable providers like IBKR and Fidelity.

  898. Personally, I wouldn't use these brain chips. But stopping AI would be a dumb idea. It's not like AGI. It doesn't have a mind of its own. ChatGPT, Bard, Falcon, Dolly 2.0, etc. Just generate text when prompted. Stable Diffusion, Dall-E, etc. Just generate images when prompted. Of course, creating an AGI would be a really stupid idea.

  900. The owners make more money than they think the company is worth by selling the company to private equity firms. Then, the private equity firms (the new owners) either do their job properly, turn the company around and make money, or they sell the company's assets for more money than the previous owners thought they were worth and make money that way, or they manage the company poorly and lose money.

  901. I'm no expert, but I think flashy social media ads which make your products look "futuristic" and like "the next big thing" could help. It worked for Nikola and for WeWork. Also, make sure you're doing something different compared with established businesses. Otherwise, investors will see that you can't compete with them. You should also make a solid business plan and path to profitability. It's also generally a good idea to build a prototype of your product which you can show off to potential investors. Investors are becoming more wary of companies which simply pitch themselves as the next big thing without having a solid product or business plan. They don't want to invest in the next Nikola or WeWork, so you have to show them that you're different.

  902. ​​ @ThatGuy-bz2in Gold's practical uses make up a tiny portion of the demand. Most is used for jewellery and as an investment, and both uses are vulnerable as people stop spending money on luxury goods and realise precious metals aren't good investments. Stocks are way better.

  904. ​​​​ @prarthanashah3145  For loops are easy! ``` for(piece of code executed at start, condition for ending the loop, piece of code executed every time the loop repeats) { Code you want to put in the loop } For example: for(int iteration = 0, iteration < 5, iteration++) { println("Hello world!") } This piece of code will write "Hello world!" in the console 5 times, on a new line each time. And a nested loop is basically a loop inside another loop. For example: while(true) { for(iteration = 0, iteration < 7, iteration++) { doSomething(); } doSomethingElse(); } Every time this while loop runs through, it will doSomething() 7 times and then doSomethingElse () once.

  906. ​​ @PEIAdWords They could also compete on data-transfer speeds. People are usually willing to pay more for full fibre compared with copper cables. But that would cost them a lot of money. But also, if everyone started using mobile data, there would be tons of interference, so mobile carriers would raise their prices to reduce demand. Broadband is still needed for the majority of internet access.

  915. Neither is the US dollar. Most people keep their reserves in the stock market these days and only exchange for cash when they want to buy something. And crypto will probably take the role of the thing which people use to buy stuff in the future because it's more convenient and secure than cash.

  918. There was really no need for Bruce Wayne to fake his death, since most people didn't know that he and Batman were the same person. He gave up everything for nothing. He could've still dated Catwoman regardless. (I liked how Inception parodied their relationship - Cobb goes up to Fischer and says, "Someone stealing your wallet is a funny way to start a relationship." And honestly, I don't see why Batman didn't just send her to jail. Her stealing his fingerprints caused everything that ended up happening. That, and his foolish decision to trust a random outsider with Wayne Enterprises - even if she was a major investor.)

  920. Fun fact: If you invest $10 per day into Berkshire Hathaway, then assuming it continues making 13% per year, after 40 years, you'll have almost $4 million! So, aim to follow the 1:2 rule: for every 1 day you work, put at least 2 hours of income into Berkshire Hathaway, ideally through a matched 401k but if that's not an option, do it through a Roth IRA.

  921. But eventually, the company will engage in stock buybacks, so the company will be at the end of the chain. And with buybacks, your position in the company increases over time, so you end up with much more money than if the company had paid a dividend.

  925. You said barely anything the entire video. Your main points: - AI is becoming monopolised (that won't happen unless Congress changes the law - as-is, there's tons of competition such as Grok, Gemini, ChatGPT, Falcon, and Dolly 2.0) - AI is all proprietary and only benefits the rich (Grok and Dolly 2.0 are both open-source) - We can work together to stop AI (why would we want to?) - OpenAI is a con (I agree) That about sums it up. Also, all of the comments are unrelated to the video. Just a bunch of bots spamming about how capitalism is bad.

  929. Bernie Madoff's scheme was a Ponzi scheme, not a pyramid scheme. Pyramid schemes require work from their members to make money - the more a member works, the more money he/she makes. Most members don't make enough to pay off the signup fees (or the costs of buying the products). With Ponzi schemes, investors do no work and get a return on paper. They only lose money when they try to cash out, and even then, only if many people cash out at once - like a run of the banks.

Except military intervention, but that would cause more problems than it solves. I think money is for spending, and wealth should be stored in the stock market, where it's backed by real, tangible stuff. And crypto excels at decentralised, secure, transparent transactions.

  943. Merlin is owned by private equity and Legoland parks are doing well. You only hear about the private equity companies which are doing badly. But there aren't many of them because you can only keep losing money for so long before you go out of business. But also, often, private equity companies buy failing businesses on the cheap with the idea that their management will turn the company around. That's a risky strategy, and often fails. But the company was failing before it was bought out.
