  1. Abolishing the military is a really bad idea because it takes decades to re-create it if you suddenly need it. It might be possible to judiciously shrink it if you build in certain mechanisms that allow you to increase it in times of need (such as some form of conscription and ongoing training of “weekend conscripts”). I realize that the Argentinian military doesn’t inspire political confidence among the people of Argentine. It’s given the country strong reasons to hate and distrust it. But you can’t expect your neighbors to always be friendly forever, so you need to maintain a military.

  2. Also, if you’re uneducated and incurious, any video you watch will tell you what you want to hear and you won’t learn anything new.

  4. How do investors ask for return on investment in a company’s investments? What is the mechanism other than selling one’s shares? Do you think that all the shareholders of all the companies that are investing in AI are going to all sell at once? The investors that sold at the peak in 2000 got their full ROI. The Dot Com Crash of 1999-2000 wasn’t really a crash, it was a shake out. Many people lost lots of money, many people were hesitant to invest in technology for a little while after, but it didn’t devastate the sector. The sector didn’t actually crash, it contracted.

  13. Did you watch the video? The accounts where the money is, is FDIC insured, if the banks go bankrupt. The fintech “banking platforms” partner with real banks with FDIC insurance. But the “banking platforms” are not banks, so they do not qualify for FDIC. The money didn’t vanish, nor did the banks go bankrupt. The banking platform (Yotta) relied on another company to handle customer and bank transaction services (synapse). Synapse went bankrupt and shut down. After they shut down, there was apparently no way to access the customer information. People were told their money was being stored in FDIC insured accounts, and that part was true. Their money is still there in the accounts, but the records held by Synapse or Yotta are gone.

  18.  @tedg1609  lol, do you really think that there were zero homeless before the 1980s? There have always been homeless in California. However, there have been surges of homelessness that can be correlated with different events. The closing of state mental facilities was the first. Prop 13 maybe the second. The crack cocaine epidemic (and now meth and Fetanyl) created a surge. Importation of the homeless is also something that should be looked at. States have been exporting their problems to California for decades.

  26.  @--Dani Well, we might chew over the reasoning, which seems to be the expense. But I think there is another reason, and that is the hidden carbon costs vs ff powered cars that are getting much better with mileage and emissions. If there were more subsidies, people would still be buying them. But governments might be realizing that they can’t ev their way to carbon emissions targets.

  27. Merry Christmas, Patrick. And Merry Christmas to all my fellow Boylers. This was a nice intangible gift (as are all your other videos). I hope you’ll do a January video with 2024 predictions. Rap predictions not financial ones, of course. What little known rappers are you watching that might have breakthroughs this year? Who are the “value rappers” we should listen to? Things like that.

  28. Not if your name is Montgomery Brewster. I guess the question you’d need to answer is what are your highest priorities and your parameters. If minimizing your expenses was your highest priority, what would you be willing to give up in order to live in the cheapest place possible? You’d also want to avoid false economies. Living in a very cheap place with poor rule of law, you’d probably have additional expenses for security, as an example. It’s not quite as simple as avoiding the “most expensive places”.

  29.  @mandisaw  The lesson I got from the video wasn’t “Unions are to blame” nor that pensions are bad. The message I got was that both the unions and the manufacturers were shortsighted and share in responsibility for the near collapse of the U.S. auto industry. However, the rise of Toyota and Nissan was not as easy to foresee back then as it is in hindsight. It only took a decade for Japanese car companies to be firmly entrenched. Other factors beside sticker price were also factors. The U.S. suffered oil shocks around this time (the opec embargo), there were gas shortages, and gasoline prices skyrocketed. The Japanese cars were much more fuel efficient, which made them much more attractive to buyers. The 70s were really the end of an era, but the pension obligations didn’t go away.

  30. I’m way ahead of you. Imagine a future of trains with steering wheels. AI enables non-linear trains. We’re still working out the bugs on self-driving trains. My company is pivoting from Crypto-based trains, in which the more choochooCoin you buy, the sooner you arrive at your destination. While we’re still incorporating crypto into our product, we have recognized that AI and trains (and steering wheels) offer unlimited upside. Literally unlimited upside. Our AI powered crypto trains will not be limited to two dimensions but will be able to operate three-dimensionally in our patented and trademarked “air tunnels”. We are tentatively exploring a deal with Space-X to create space tunnels. Crypto Space Trains (with steering wheels) traveling in space tunnels offer humanity possibilities only limited by the speed of light and the bounds of the universe. We’re talking infinite returns on your investment.

  32. I decide to form a company. You are my first investor and buy 1% of the company for a million dollars. Voila, the company is valued at $100 million. Don’t feel like a sucker, though. Here comes someone willing to buy half your stake for 20 million.

  41.  @Look_What_You_Did  Briefly: Moderation sucked, discovery sucked, the bots sucked, and on and on. The point is that the suckage increased 100-fold under Musk. To clarify, I mean suck in the bad way, as in sucking diseased green donkey dicks, and not in the good way beloved by most men and the people who suck them.

  43.  @andrewharrison8436  around 2010 in Los Angeles there was a shortage of affordable rentals. So the city (or maybe the county) loosened restrictions on residential property, allowing owners to rent their garages or sheds to people desperate for housing. It didn’t solve the homeless crisis but it might have kept some people in a rough patch weather it. But the point is that the local government was quite flexible when it came to providing inadequate housing. I don’t know what happened to all those temporary units. I imagine some were eventually converted into up-to-code living space. In terms of adequacy, one doesn’t have to rent every single floor or even entire floors. Rent the first 10 floors on a 100 store building? The argument against this is that the rents wouldn’t offset the interest payments. And that’s where the government bail out comes in. If Uncle Sam is going to protect rich people from their own bad decisions, why not also throw a bone to renters?

  47.  @butwhytharum  What’s your definition of robbery? If you misplace something in your home, is that robbery? Perhaps you stashed a $100 bill somewhere and you can’t remember where you put it. Is that robbery? Let’s say that when you stashed the money, you wrote a note to yourself. Now for some reason you can’t find the note. If that is robbery, at which point was the robbery triggered? When you lost the note, when you realized you lost the note, or when you decided you needed to retrieve the money? Or at some other point?

  48. Agreed. While it had some good points, it was already a cess pool in many ways. Elohmuh turned it into an overflowing cesspool. (At least that’s what I’ve been told. I left in the Jack Dorsey 2.0 days. But I do miss dril.)
