I love that you always film outside. Shows off how beautiful atlanta is when you're out in it.

As a public service employee, I face a future of mandatory overtime and health issues associated with high stress and lack of sleep coupled with poor working conditions. I will never know true wealth. I have never known wealth. I hope this video reaches just the right person to make the changes necessary to solve these challenges for our society. In the meantime, I can only try my best to help others do better than myself.

the 'pretending to be devoted' is what gets me. I don't mind work, but I just cannot fake enthusiasm

You got some energy sir. I think you’re gonna blow up. I can feel something in the air.

Shrinkflation is even affecting youtube videos now.
This video was around 45% the length of the previous

I don't know why I was thinking this, but one other thing I would like to see other than taxing the rich is fixing the fees/punishment companies pay for breaking the law. It really has gotten to the point where giant companies can get away with doing something illegal by paying a fine. They treat it like the cost of doing business because of how laughably small it is compared to how much they make.

Great video as always!

Don’t forget the CEOs, billionaire or not, boosting stock prices for personal gain at the expense of the consumer and even of the company(cough Boeing cough).

Taxing the rich isnt about taking their money its about putting a limit on their power.

That’s a good question. It depends on whether my house is paid off, if I’ll need another vehicle, and how much I can sustain my food bill from my farm.

Your content is really inspiring bro!! 🙌🏾

One thing about the oreos in particular I've noticed - the regular ones are roughly the same size, but the novelty, limited time flavors are in far smaller packages. Regular sized packages are ballpark 500g, limited time flavors about 300 g. And of course, the packages cost the same as each other.

2:10 I love this and don’t hear people speak about it often, I wonder why. My number is 6 million- 5 million would keep me not working for life, and the extra 1mil is for investing in my friends.

Thank you so much, always look forward to your content 🎉

[ai-aniverse]

the number question is interesting.
I legit dont have an answer. I _say_ i want all the money so i can do sh!t like actually invest in my part of the world, but i feel like that much money inherently separates you from the people you are trying to help.

You keep putting out great videos, you should cover medical debt or the fuckery of building credit

Catching the replay eager to hear your take on this.

I just had a conversation with a guy in my neighborhood about this. He was complaining that the city is about to raise our taxes. I quickly explained to him that proposed tax increases are on the wealthiest in the city. I went on to tell him that middle-class and working-class people like us are the tax base in every city in this country. Meanwhile, Jeff Bezos, who owns the town paper The Washington Post also lives in one of the largest houses in the city pays nothing in income taxes. I literally said to him, “That’s what ’tax the rich’ means.”

And BTW, “Tax The Rich” was at one point very controversial. Say that ish with your whole chest 8-10 years ago. It was hard. But that’s what it takes. To make real change, you gotta have the courage and eagerness to learn in order to affect change.
