Our economy struggling with uncertainties, housing issues, foreclosures, global fluctuations, and pandemic aftermath, causing instability. Rising inflation, sluggish growth, and trade disruptions need urgent attention from all sectors to restore stability and stimulate growth.

"i'm just pointing for your b-roll" that's a friend.

"You are the same colour as your shirt!" No longer with that BURN!

Sorry to keep you all waiting with this one, but we needed to retrieve the VHS tapes from an unnamed cartel who didn't want this episode aired. Nonetheless, we have now fully investigated The 305. What should we cover next?

So that is why Miami has a Formula one grand prix.

I thought this was a Miami documentary but it was actually the roast of Dan Toomey.

I'm a Miami native and honestly, Miami has become what it always wanted to be and deserves to be. It's a city that has ALWAYS glorified the vapid, superficial and selfish lifestyle of the constant pursuit of wealth. It has always been the playground of the super rich of Latin-America and has always fought against truly equitable policies because the politically influential are all exiles from countries they ruined with their selfish and capitalist aggrandizing ideals.

Don't get me wrong, the multi-culturalism and "capital of Latin America" vibes are amazing. You'd be doing well to find a city with better food. But its always been a city that encourages selfishness and punishes the truly well-intentioned.

Its the nations center of fraud for a reason.

The Miami mayor really saw what tech and finance did to one of the most historic and beloved places in the U.S. in San Francisco and said “I want that”

I know the joke here is that you’re “just a YouTuber” but the caliber and quality of the writing and editing is something that feels right at home on the Daily Show. You’re carving your own path in this arena and doing it well!

To the powers that be: please send Dan on more field trips! We the fans (the Danheads, if you will) want to see him be roasted (and roast) in multiple varied climates!

[RonaldBrian]

The problem we have is because Most people always taught that " you only need a good job to become rich " . These billionaires are operating on a whole other playbook that many don't even know exists.

Dan getting ruthlessly bullied gives me life

[RealShaktimaan]

He is wearing a suit jacket in 100 degrees and 80% humidity weather

As a South Florida native, this doc is KILLING me!!! In a good way. Thank you for covering this and giving my anxiety around this issue a place to laugh...and cry...

[cinilaknedalm]

"I'm just pointing for your b-roll" hahahahahahaha comedy gold xD

[-chungus]

"im roasting you and you're still white" ooof.

[The_Red_Off_Road]

From Palm Beach to the next zip code is one of the biggest wealth gaps to be so close. It literally goes from mansions to slums from one zip code to the next.

[matthewholt]

The memes are extra deep fried in this one

[jorge]

The censoring after the curse word had me rolling 🤣

[TheLeloS]

Wow, thats one of the most precisely edited content I have laid my eyes on! Jam packed bundle of a report. Love it!

We have the lowest unemployment rate here in Florida but we also are 38th in average income. There're plenty of jobs but they all pay horribly and never enough for you to be able to afford an actual decent home. our governor loves to brag about everyone moving here but turns a blind eye to helping actual residents.
