Sorry it's been so long without a new video, Tyler had to move like, two times so the video was delayed a bit. However with a new style, we're back on track.

Couldn’t you have made this like 200 years ago? I could be rich dammit.

Teddy is a damn hero. *salutes and sheds single tear then adjusts monocle*

[Bastogne]

Instructions not clear, sending taxes to Panama.

You kids and your “real trees.” Back in my day you could just buy a fake one. GOD! WHAT HAS THIS WORLD COME TOO

Starbucks does this too, by lowering the prices to drive smaller coffee shops out of business.

They also "disguise" themselves as smaller shops

Generally what I do is drive around 24 streets, 4 stations, one jail and a car park. And then I collect £200 each time I go around, adding to my already vast sum of around £800.

Damn government putting their grubby hands in my fake tree business.

[kylepearson]

Heck yeah I’m the king of fake trees!!!

"Why not the entire county, or the state? Why not the entire country?"
Why stop there? Why not sell them to the entire _world_ if you can?

They should make a monopoly simulator set in the 1800s

Go to jail
Don't pass go
Don't collect 200$

The fact that's a picture of Teddy covered with The Joker makeup circulating on the web on tells you Big Business still hates our most badass President.

I thought you'd get a monopoly by buying the railroads

[tin_fu]

Where is Cody and what have you done with him?

[Pietro-zhgf]

back in my days a fake tree was only 1$ these prices are preposterous

[ProfessorPolitics]

You did a fantastic job with this. I'd love to see your take on natural monopolies like utility companies (and, increasingly, web/insurance/medical providers).

[Dave_Sisson]

Of course, a price gouging monopoly can be destroyed by imports. either by sea or from pesky Canada. So a monopolist has to lobby politicians for things like import tariffs and against free trade.

[Viktorion]

Shit, i hoped for a guide to win every game in monopoly.

That steel went to build skyscapers and "built the nation, " as you say. But it's not the monopolies that helped that happen; If anything, they hindered it.
