  1. This is often a talking point that is ignored, but the US has the largest public health pandemic on the planet. 39% rate of obesity 10% Type 1 or 2 diabetes 33% Pre-diabetic 48% of Americans on (at least) 1 prescription medication. It would be inappropriate to assume the drastic decline in American health has no part to play in the pathologies unfolding imo.

  2. I wish people would put more thought into moving overseas before they jump ship. There are always risks, but as of currently. I couldn't imagine a better place to be than the US. Especially with how high the tensions are on an international stage. You have 50 sovereign states to choose from, natural resources, and services. In a foreign country, you don't have that option. If you are locked down, mandated to vaccinate, or anything else; it is law. You have no recourse but to seek refugee status. I wouldn't even recommend east Asia at this point. If Chinese aggression continues, you're going to be in a war zone. And with no US support, you're extremely vulnerable. At a time where the global supply chain and reserve currency is at risk, moving to an island in the Caribbean is a very poor decision. No natural resources and no exports outside of medical equipment. The idea is to invest in multiple assets, as well as asset classes. For many watching this channel that are not multi millionaires, but have the means to leave. Renouncing your citizenship and moving to St. Lucia is a very poor decision. Andrew is very well off with a wealth of assets, passports and options to endure. The average Joe watching this channel is middle class; prospecting a move to one island with two passports and renouncing their citizenship. I just feel that it's going to get a lot of people in trouble.

  3. Again, no mention of vaccines... Especially considering they've been mandated in Malaysia as well as the US. Come on Andrew.... It's been almost a week. One would think that Medical Tyranny falls into the category of trying to be a Nomad Capitalist.

  4. He does have a valid point. Too many people are desperately clinging to the "America is the greatest country" concept. I would agree that America is the greatest country from a standpoint of it's creation and how it spawned a global phenomena of human rights and constitutions crafted similar to ours. Aside from that, have you people seen our infrastructure, living standards, and family life? It's piss poor. I was completely blind to most of these issues until I left my rich suburban town, got my CDL and started working on the road. Seeing virtually every town in the Midwest, it becomes truly humbling. Outside of suburban and gated communities, this country is dirt poor. We have some of the most dangerous cities on the planet and more than 1 in 3 people are on some kind of government subsidy. It took many years for me to figure that out, but America has some of the worst culture on the face of the globe.

  5. Photo ID and voter registry is racist in America. But Covid passports are humanitarian. Obviously lol

  6. Notice that France is never named because it's an absolute shit hole. They have more terror activity than any other Western country and the culture is extremely prejudicial to Americans.

  7. No such thing... People and culture MAKE a country. The US isn't fucked up because of the Government. It's fucked up because of the people living in it. If you nor anybody else is willing to play a part in forming what makes a country great. Then it will slowly rot. I don't see why moving to a country for a decade just enjoy the prime of it, only to bounce when pathologies begin is a solution. If all people ever did was just take advantage of nations for a short time to enjoy comfort, but not contribute to its strength. Then the world would fall apart.

  8.  @arhamvlogs8641  Blacks have always ruled a majority of Africa, including the slave trades. Power is colorless.

  9.  @zionismisterrorism8716  Of course, but you're describing a minority of people. Let's not forget that inflation has greatly shifted Americans from class to class in the last two years. People who were center middle class in 2019 are now low middle class. The people that have the means to afford duel citizenship are well into six figures and above. These aren't nurses and firefighters. His clientele are primarily: lawyers, investors, physicians, and business owners looking to retire. The people watching this show are not those people on the grand scale.

  10. Clarification... It's envy... It's not that they want what you have. They simply DON'T want you to have it.

  11. This is why the wife and I are moving to Montana from the eastern US. The economies, even in the Midwest are literally facing annihilation within a short time period. If you are working gig or contract, you're starting to feel the strain. Every month you're having to work an extra number of hours to make the same amount you made the prior month. Which is getting exponentially worse. If people are looking for places to avoid the Federal Government and turbulence in the wake of a war, then leaving the country is probably the worst option. Though I could be wrong, it all just depends. If this country falls into a Civil War, let alone a World War, assuming a financial collapse would have already happened; which is what usually happens. Do you really think you're going to be safe in a foreign country? The Caribbean - exports are primarily pharmaceutical equipment with virtually nothing that is self sustainable. If global supply chains fall apart, the people in St. Lucia are going to be eating each other. Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Philippines - these countries heavily rely on US military strength, Intelligence, and business partnerships in order to function. In the event that the US is rendered insolvent or defunct, these countries are a ticking time bomb. Chinese aggression would turn all of these into a war or occupational zone of influence. Australia already speaks for itself. Africa - a major Chinese investment Western Europe - tied to the same fate that the United States is and anything to the far east runs risk of falling into Russian or Chinese influence.

  12. Andrew, are you going to make a video on the new vaccine mandates???

  13.  @fallonmassey4714  Define cheating though? Most millionaires in this day and age are self made, 9 out of 10. I'll tell you what is cheating though. Lobbying the FDA to approve foods and medications that are killing people. Or programming an Apple Lithium Ion battery to reduce it's charge and slow the processing speed so that customers want to buy a new phone after 2 years.

  14.  @jhpfdijtuiweruot  I'm done... You are absolutely crazy... Merry Christmas and whatnot, but I can't deal with this level of insanity.

  15. Andrew? Why are you avoiding a video on the US mandates?

  16.  @tak178  What are you talking about? The US is a borderline 3rd world country by our metrics.

  17. The US would rather take an an immigrant because they were a minority from some 3rd world country. Rather than take in immigrants by their merit and qualifications. Any system that throws competence out the window is set to fail. With a rapidly shrinking middle class, I'm ashamed to say that we are on the decline. It's not just the politicians, it's the culture. The average US citizen doesn't realize they are contributing to it's demise.

  19.  @jhpfdijtuiweruot  360,900 deaths per year just from coronary artery disease. Yep, I'm pretty sure.

  20. Malta tourist website: 1. Tourist who are unvaccinated will undergo a mandatory quarantine at their own expense. 2. You will need to wear a mask outdoors unless you have received a booster shot. 3. Vaccination cards must be shown upon entree to the list below - virtually all businesses. 4. Vaccine cards must be presented by women that are up to 16 weeks pregnant. Are you kidding? People need to do some research and quit basing their aspirations to leave the US on Twitter comments. If you move to a foreign country outside the US, you will be at the mercy of their governing standards. Not to mention in a poor position should the global supply chain falter. Considering the situation of the US Dollar, Crude Oil, supply chains, and tensions between the Federation of Russia and China. I would deem it unwise to remove yourself from the US.

  21.  @letgobandit  China, Bahamas, Belize, El Salvador, Mexico, and Canada; not much longer than a few weeks at any one location (at any one time). Plus about 40 states. I'm a routine traveler, though I've remained more domestic these past few years. I don't have cable and I don't watch CNN btw. I talk to people, I watch people, and I stay up to date on on the market, global economies, and trade. I am a pessimist if that's what you're asking, but that has just allowed me to stay ahead of the curve. It's not without it's drawbacks though. That's about it...

  22. I've always been curious about that same subject. Some Russians say it's a shit hole. Some Americans say they love it.

  23. I think a melting pot is "hardly" the pressing issue right now in America. It's the sick incentives that Government and Corporations provide each other. It's all a sick game to them. They poison the wells and then show up as the water commissioner.

  24. Japan is tied to the fate of the US. In the wake of Pacific aggression from China it would be an unwise place to be. I love Japan and many other countries, but if people think that simply leaving the US will save them from the coming economic and military consequences; they are sadly mistaken. The wife and I are leaving for Montana shortly. I still think the US is the best place to remain during a collapse. Just steer clear of the metropolis.

  25.  @herkpolivil7327  Perhaps. I guess my point is just to make sure you're not bringing rot with you. Many people coming into the US from Mexico are bringing pathologies with them that tore their country apart. The same logic applies to any country you could say. Just like Californians moving to Texas.

  26.  @basspig  Never say never I guess. I don't think it will come to that, but one must always be prepared.

  28. I used to say that the US will lose Reserve Currency status by 2030, but I'm starting to think it's going to be before 2025. China 2025? I don't think it's a conspiracy; I think they are blatantly telling the truth.

  29. This is why I deleted all my social media accounts and use a VPN with a fake Google account. They are going to use everything against you. Get ready for social credit scoring.

  30. How the hell would that even work? My Bitcoin goes up 100% and I don't even sell, but I owe $40,000 dollars? Then it crashes in the Spring and I have an unrealized loss of $200,000? I'm not doing it; the IRS can sue me and I'll set the subpoenas on fire in my back yard.

  31.  @tpulling83  I think everything goes in cycles. 1st World Countries are destined to become 3rd and start annew. People have simply become too complacent, greedy, and narcissistic. Always a price to pay for that kind of behavior.

  34. @James Bond Tell that to 15 million people living illegally in this country. If ICE and local police aren't enforcing the law or the "Return to Mexico Title 42" policy. Then not much is going to stop you. Free healthcare, no taxes, and off grid. Some people like that.

  35. Save up $5,000 and go to CDL school. Work a few years, save, then get out. Then pursue something you want. That's what I did. I would have said that two years ago and it's still a viable option today. Though the price of a house is ridiculous. No child from Gen Z will be able to afford one.

  36. People would scream, because the lower class pays virtually no tax. Their exemption is what $12,200? Middle and upper class pay some 96% of all taxes.

  37.  @fallonmassey4714  Well we can definitely agree on the market. Though being 'self made' means you didn't inherit wealth. Doesn't have a technicality with public services.

  38.  @fallonmassey4714  Advantage how? Collective mentality is a dangerous slope. Yes, I'm white. My mother grew up squatting in evicted houses. Her being white didn't benefit her at all. People are people. Being one race or the other doesn't implicate any disadvantage. Collectively though, it's easier to do that though, which I try to avoid. Yes, there are major collective dis/advantages to each race. Geographics, health, intelligence etc... Though it's impossible to decipher these differences by looking at someone. They are simply bell curves in large demographics.

  39. Even though I acknowledge inequality to a certain extent is a problem. It would seem that governments will only take measures that end up making them worse. Most of society can't keep up with the changing technology. You can't increase technology, but you can't raise intelligence. If you can't use a smartphone (i.e. an IQ of 89 and below) then you're practically out of the market. That's 20% of the population at the very least. Eventually, there will be enough people that bottom out at 0 that they'll flip the system on its head. That's what we're seeing happen in real time.

  41.  @jhpfdijtuiweruot  Pandemic - Epidemic over a wide geographic area and affecting a large proportion of the population. I'm really not understanding why you are trying to define millions of unnatural deaths per year as (not a pandemic). What is your point really? If it's not a pandemic, then what is it? Life? I'm be blunt... Do you think a pandemic only describes Covid or something? This conversation is getting dumb really fast and I mean that in the nicest way possible.

  42.  @jhpfdijtuiweruot  What the hell are you talking about? Jesus Christ you're hopeless. Please work on your reading comprehension. NOBODY is talking about Covid buddy. So turn your brain on and rant about Covid elsewhere. I'm well aware that people have received death certificates from Covid that died of other means. Plus I'm perfectly aware that the testing is faulty. Please take your COVID discussion elsewhere......

  43. Nothing more than an arrogant personality suffering from Dunning Kruger. Who more than likely doesn't know anything about himself, because he fails to see how his pride and narcissism carry the way he behaves towards others.

  44.  @zionismisterrorism8716  Fascinating. Unfortunately, I have no lineage to Europe. At least nothing recent and I'm already married. I feel the options are rather limited as far as the average American goes. If you're talking about St. Lucia, Georgia, etc. Moving to Mexico wouldn't be my first option either. My first love was Japan and South Korea. It was my dream move until life caught up with me.

  45.  @beaf6537  Recently got back from there, no joke. Billings - Ok/Industrial (cheaper) Bozeman - gorgeous (expensive) Helena - beautiful (less expensive) Missoula - little run down (cheaper) But if anything else, go to Glacier National Park. - St. Mary KOA, but book far in advance.

  46. Your sentiments are misplaced. Social media algorithms have convinced Americans that the world is becoming a terrible place, regardless of their affiliation. So now those people have gone out and MADE the US a terrible place. It's a self fulfilling prophecy all around.

  47. I would think so. One thing people have to do (ultimately) and I know it's harder for older generations. But you have to accept that you will never receive Social Security. Especially if you are currently under 40.

  48. @UCDWZdXD_sbz8t4n1yhPrssQ Where might I ask? The debt liabilities and consequences of the US don't magically go away by moving to St. Lucia, Singapore, or Georgia. If the US defaults or we face an economic catastrophe for other reasons; no country will be immune to the fallout. Conflict and war almost always follow an economic collapse. I wouldn't have such a problem with the idea of moving outside the US if supply chains and economies were not at stake. It might be wise to diversify if times weren't so turbulent. Though that isn't why most people are moving. They believe the US will fall and they're going to be safe from the shockwave sitting on some beach in Thailand.

  49. 5%? That's the Federal Reserve's bullshit mathematic calculation on their printing; by the way, it's 6.8% as a of recent "according to them." Real inflation is somewhere in the 31% range according to the M0-4 money supplies since the start of 2020. That's not including their new infrastructure plan...

  50.  @GrandChessboard  Oh I'm aware, they change it to calculate the lowest number. Makes it look more appealing to bond investors. At least the ones ignorant enough to buy them at this point.
