In the great state of Ohio, you have lost more than 300,000 manufacturing jobs between 1994 and 2015. 31% of all manufacturing jobs in Ohio, but it's not just Ohio. In my state, all over this country, people saw their factories and decent-paying jobs shut down, plants moved to Mexico, China. People hired at desperately low wages and those products brought back to America. I will tell you a brief story. In the early 1990s, I went to the Marquiladora area in Mexico. And I'll never forget what I saw. But I saw there were all of these brand-new state-of-the-art factories, American factories, some European factories. And I said, you know, I want to talk to the workers. I want to visit the homes of the workers who work in those factories. The only problem was I could not visit the homes of the workers who worked in those factories because they did not have homes. They lived in cardboard shacks, then making 25 cents an hour. I remember it like it was yesterday. Filthy water, they had one light bulb strung up connected to some electric outlet someplace. Those were the people who were working in those factories. They were exploited people, millions of people in Mexico had to leave their farms, come into the big cities, become unemployed. We are going together to end these disastrous trade agreements which have cost this country millions of decent-paying jobs. We are going to create trade agreements that work for workers, not just the CEOs of large corporations.


Hoho boy! So if you're wondering who got cancelled today, it was ContraPoints and it was by her own community. And we definitely have some things that we need to discuss today when it comes to cancel culture, outrage, hate mobs, and all that stuff. So stay tuned. What is up everybody? This is Chris from the Rewired Soul where we talk about the problem but focus on the solution. And if you're new to my channel, what I try to do is take different topics going on in the YouTube community or pop culture and try to see what lessons we can learn from them to improve our own mental and emotional well-being. So if you're into that stuff, make sure you subscribe and ring that notification bell. And yeah, once again, we are going to be talking about cancel culture. So those of you who have been around for a while, I talk a lot about mental health. Check this out.   Like this is one of the reasons why cancel culture is so toxic. It's not just the people getting cancelled, it's everybody participating in it. Like when I watched the members of the hate mob going at it, I'm like, what's going on in your life where you are spending this much time and emotional energy and all that. But anyways, before I jump into this topic, before I forget, my brand new book, Canceled Inside YouTube Cancel Culture, is out now. It's available in both ebook and audio book format. And it is down in the pinned comment down in the description down below. So if you want to deep dive into YouTube cancel culture, I share a bit of my experience, talk about a bunch of other stories that have gone on in the YouTube community, and I try to offer some solutions. All right, so yeah, those of you who don't know, ContraPoints is a pretty, pretty large YouTuber on the platform. I don't really watch her channel if I'm being honest, but she is a trans woman, right? And she has done a lot speaking up for the LGBTQ community and everything like that. And she has some opinions that people disagree with, much like someone like Blair White, right? Well, anyways, I just see my Twitter feed this morning blowing up, everybody talking about ContraPoints. It was trending on Twitter and I'm like, what, came out? What is happening? Who is being canceled today? So it all started with this series of tweets. And I don't know why, but I couldn't find what she was replying to. But with her series of tweets, you can kind of see what happened, all right? So ContraPoints, Natalie, she says, I'm friends with a lot of Gen Z trans people. And I'm often grouped in with them because I'm very online and I transitioned not that long ago. But my experience is very different. I'm not a vanguard Zoomer trans. I sometimes feel like the last of the old school trans sexuals. But I also understand why a lot of trans people who just want to blend in are frustrated with the new visibility and with the radicals. I'm feeling fearful myself about the future of trans acceptance. And I understand the desire to be invisible, tolerated and safe. But now you go into these leftist discord Facebook groups, and like 20 to 30% identify as some flavor of trans. Most of them are not conventional binary trans sexuals. That seems to be the future.  But if you're like people who freak out, this caused ContraPoints to leave Twitter today, because she got mobbed by people of her own community. So in this video, I'm like, my opinion on this matter doesn't matter. All right. Like, but the thing is we got to look at people being outraged over opinions and and like how how people tear apart their own cause from the inside. So you guys, for the love of God, for the love of God, if you are witnessing what is happening in the world today with cancel culture with outrage and hate mobs, do yourself a favor and please go get the book, The Coddling of the American Mind by Jonathan Haight. Okay. Like I just finished that book. It was recommended by the other YouTuber Dr. Mike, phenomenal guy. And yeah, like you guys, here's one of the biggest issues in the world today. And this is something that, you know, that is one of the reasons why I got canceled, right? Like you guys, just because you have different opinions doesn't mean you freak out on somebody else. Okay. Like watching people call it trans woman, trans phobic for that comment is mind blowing. Like here's, here's a thing. Like we are such selfish self centered creatures that we think our experience is the only experience. She was sharing her experience and her opinion and people lost it, sending insane tweets and getting bombarded until she actually left Twitter. All right. So something that the book The Coddling of the American Mind talks about throughout the book is CBT methods. All right. So those of you who don't know CBT is cognitive behavioral therapy. All right. It is one of the best evidence based therapies. And what it's designed to do is help you to catch cognitive distortions. All right.  All right. It makes you freak out over things or it makes you have black and white thinking. All right. One of the problems with these outrage mobs is that they are just rage filled with cognitive distortions and no therapist or psychologist, any mental health professional in the right mind would allow you to play into those cognitive distortions. Let me play this scenario out for you. All right. ContraPoint shared her opinion on Twitter. Okay.  Now imagine one of those people going into a therapist and saying, Oh, this, this woman I've never met on Twitter said this thing that I disagree with and I'm so angry. She is an awful person. She's transphobic and everything like that. Now the therapist or psychologist has one of two options. They can challenge your cognitive distortions or play into them. You tell me which one sounds better. Option A is that they challenge those thoughts and say, Okay, is this person really a bad person? What evidence do you have? They reply and you say, Okay. So since they have a different opinion than you, this makes them a bad person and it causes the person to step back and really question their thoughts, right? And their feelings and their emotions. Okay. Option two is a therapist or psychologist playing into the cognitive distortions, right? I'm saying you're right. That person has a different opinion than you. They're a bad person.  They shouldn't even be online. That trans woman is actually transphobic and she's destroying everything that the LGBT community has worked for. Right? That sounds silly. Like you guys, this is a practice that you guys can do. Like I know a lot of people are lacking financially or lacking health insurance and you might not have the ability to go see a therapist. Get a book and do some research on cognitive behavioral therapy. You can do these things on your own. Like recently I read an entire book on REBT, which is Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy. That is another therapy that's all about challenging your thoughts with being rational and logical. All right? So here's the thing. Like when the hate mob comes out, when cancel culture is in full force, the people who participate in it, they're either one of two things. All right? They're either blatantly lying, okay?  So let me read to you one of these tweets. But this is just an example. This is all over Twitter and it happens every single time someone is getting bombarded by the hate mob. But it said this, sorry to see her go.  Like this is, like I said, it's either a lie or it's complete ignorance. And again, it goes back to that selfish, self-centered way of thinking that we have. People believe like, oh, what are they? What are they? So why are they upset? Like, they're just getting criticized. Like this blows my mind. Like when it happened to me, like, I was getting death threats. My mom was getting death threats, right?  Like, what? What? And people try to use attacking people online as criticism. Like death threats, name calling, right?   Insults do not equal criticism. I've been replying to more people in my YouTube comments.  And then he goes on to say how he disagrees with me. Like, think about that for a second.  But here's the other example I want to give. When you get bombarded by the online hate mob, it's not all criticism. What happens is it's a snowball effect. It starts out something small. Like, people were going after the tweets that she said. But then, then it turned into this fun contra points fact of the day. If you assume that every one of her patrons contribute the lowest possible tier, contra points makes $228,000 a year from Patreon alone. Then someone says, I think there are better criticisms of Contra than how much she makes on Patreon, which is not to say this can't inform a strong criticism just on its own. Then somebody else replies, hoarding wealth for mostly, if not completely for oneself, isn't extremely wrong then. And then they say a lot of people donate $1. Then somebody else replies, the problem is that nobody realistically needs that much. Maybe if Contra took some and gave the rest to her show, maybe that is a little better. But since we don't know where the money goes, it is assumed the money goes directly back to her. This is another issue with cancel culture. It starts over here and then it turns into something completely different. You see this every single time. Like with what happened with James Charles, you saw it start with, oh, he's a bad friend. He promoted a competitor's product.  You're seeing it happen right now. Now that people all amped up and riled up, they're like, oh, what else can we complain about? And here's the thing. One of the rules of cancel culture, I talked about this in my book, is that you talk about how much money that person makes, all right?  And this, this is also an issue. Like, you're going to constantly be angry in your life if you're constantly assuming the worst. So let's talk about this real quick, okay? Again, I'll play the Optimus. Let's say that ContraPoints actually donates a lot of that money to, I don't know, LGBTQ causes, right? We don't know that for certain, but let's say that she does, okay? How would you know? Does she have to disclose that? Well, here's where cancel culture gets you. If she was out there gloating about it, people would say, oh, you're just doing this to get positive attention and things like that. Like Manny MUA and his comeback video, he just had to talk about that. He talked about how he's afraid to talk about the charities he works with because the hate mob will criticize him for that. Like, think about that. One of the issues with cancel culture is that oftentimes there's no winning, all right? So anyways, when this happened, there were some people who were speaking up about this, such as the quarter ring or Chris Reagan. And they talk about, as you can see in these tweets, even though they disagree with her, like they think it's messed up what happened, all right? And this is what I really want people to pay attention to. Like, you see so many people as your enemies, but look and see what they really think, right? Because you have people like Chris Reagan and the quarter ring who, although they disagree with ContraPoints, they would never want her canceled or de-platformed. Yet the people within her own community are trying to do that and labeling her a transphobic. Like, you guys, we can disagree with somebody without wanting them to be completely off the platform, all right? So one of the last things that I want to talk about is, and it's talked about a lot in the coddling of the American mind, and it's part of cognitive distortions too, all right? Our brain tells us that everything we feel is true. And if you call someone out on that, they say that you're invalidating their feelings, right? Which is absolutely mind-blowing. Like if you even took like five minutes of a psychology class, you would know that humans are extremely emotional, irrational beings. So this new kind of thing where people think that all of their feelings need to be validated is nuts. Like if my son is afraid that there's a monster in his closet, why am I going to go play into that? Right? I'm going to say, no, there's not. Like what if my son came to me and said, oh my god, dad, you're invalidating my feelings, right? I'd be like, what? Now think about this for a second. Like this is something that really bothered me. It's bothered me since the Tati Westbrook and James Charles situation. Because Gabriel Zamora came out and said like, this isn't a big deal. It's not that big of a deal. So what? He promoted a competitor's brand and Tati Westbrook went off saying, how dare you invalidate my feelings, right? Like you guys, sometimes we need our feelings invalidated. Let's play this game, all right?  Should we play into your feelings like that? Our feelings are not always facts. We feel a lot of ways that are not true, okay?  Like what I try to teach people is to check in with yourself because we get so offended when other people try to call us out on it, but we really need to be checking in with ourselves and say, okay, is my emotional reaction to this situation proportional to what just actually happened? And actually the last thing I want to talk about is, listen, one of the things that I've seen for years now and I truly believe it's why the 2016 elections happened the way they did and why I'm worried going into 2020, it's because we tear ourselves apart from the inside, all right? Like we're all fighting for something, but we just rip each other to shreds and that's what you see with ContraPoints. Like she is trying to make strides forward with the LGBTQ community, right? And people within her own community are trying to cancel her and deplatform her even though they should be outlying with her and maybe just have conversations rather than losing their mind. And I say this as somebody who is a mental health advocate, an addiction recovery advocate, and all these things, I see it happen all the time. People within the mental health community, like why do you guys think I rebranded?  A prime example is a few months ago I made a couple of videos with my opinions about Suboxone. And oh my God, people actually made videos saying that my opinions are going to get people killed. Like I look at that and it's just like, are you serious right now? Are we really being serious? Like listen, just because we have different opinions doesn't mean we take it to extremes. This is a cognitive distortion called catastrophizing, all right? When we blow things way out of proportion and our mind goes to crazy places.  And it's completely the opposite of cognitive behavioral therapy to play in to those crazy thoughts. So calm down, have disagreements and debates with people without freaking out, all right? Like I saw this happen today and I'm just like, this stuff needs to end. And I'm going to cover it more and more and more. This is a mental health topic because we're never going to solve anything. We're going to live these miserable lives if we keep becoming outraged over the slightest things, like difference of opinion, all right? But anyways, like I said, my brand new book, Cancelled Inside YouTube, Cancell Culture is out now if you want to check that out. Down in the description, down in the pinned comment down below. But if you liked this video, please give it a thumbs up. If you think other people can learn from it, do me a favor and share it on social media, all right? But if you're new, make sure you subscribe and ring that notification bell. And a huge, huge thank you to everybody supporting the channel over on Patreon. You're all amazing and a huge thank you to everybody else who supports the channel in other ways, buying my books, buying merch, all that kind of good stuff. I love you all, all right? Thanks again for watching. I'll see you next time.


So the number one question I got for my survey is, what can you do to protect yourself during the recession? So I'm gonna be talking about things that I'm currently doing and did and I'm planning for. There's roughly four or five things in my list and I'll keep this video short. A majority of things are things that you can do, about 95% of things I'm about to mention is you can do them literally today. And so before I get to the list, the number one thing I do wanna talk about is like, if you haven't done already, cut your burn rate. If you're paying too much for something, cut it. Audit your finances. Like you should be doing this regularly on a quarterly basis. Like financial literacy, I learned this the hard way. We all learned this the hard way. Fuck, the money I made when I was younger doing the things that I did, I could have retired by now. But that's a whole different story. Anyways, so the number one thing is, number one, I am keeping a portion of my liquid powder, which is cash in USD. Now, what's happening today is a liquidity crisis. And in a liquidity crisis, cash is king. Temporarily, so short term, a little bit medium term. And the king of all cash is a US greenback. And if you look at all debt around the world, if you look at all values that nominate in USD, and this is why within a liquidity crisis, there's no such thing as a safe asset. Gold, Bitcoin, silver, stocks, people sell for liquidity. And so why is good to have the USD? Well, if you look up Brent Johnson's milkshake theory, I'm in that type of camp where everybody is using USD. It is the World Reserve. And all debt is priced in USD. USD will be hunted down for the next foreseeable future. Like I don't see anybody deep-hagging USD. So USD is the currency of choice. This is gonna cause a lot of issues for people living outside of USD because your currency is getting wrecked in the forex markets.  I don't wanna hold Canadian dollar whatsoever. Anything that I wanna buy outside of Canada, specifically priced in USD, which pretty much everything is, I gotta pay 20, 30% premium on that. This is why it's gonna cause a big issue when it comes to importing, exporting as well. It has a whole different video. So I'm holding portion of, I would say a portion, but majority of my liquid cash in USD. And so the next thing that I'm doing is the gold standard, which is gold. So I just had that Jim Rickards on and we're talking about the importance of gold. Now there's a misconception with gold. People assume it's an investment that gains massive value. Mind you, the context matters depending on when you entered within gold, no different than stock. So if you entered Amazon 10 years ago, obviously your return is great. However, I don't view gold per se as an investment. I view gold as a hedge. Gold is used to deflect and stop inflation of your dollar, the buying power at the end of the day. I wanna maintain my protection of my wealth. And when I talk about gold, I'm talking about physicality of gold. I'm not big on the camp on buying IOU certificates or paper gold. Mind you, obviously it's much easier. You can go online to a brokerage and get it right away. But I'm big on buying physical gold, which is really hard for governments or agencies to take away from you. Not impossible, but much more difficult than if you had your paper certificate.  And so it's an age old story, gold is king, but it's not per se as an investment. I just want to stress that out. It's to hedge, it's to hedge.  Mind you guys living in United States, you guys have a good. Like I mentioned, USD is one of my strategies here. I'm keeping all my cash in USD, not Canadian dollar.  And so that's the next thing I'm doing. I'm buying physical, me personally, I'll tell you what, I'm buying physical coins. All right, on to the next Bitcoin. This is no new news for you. I've been holding Bitcoin since a get-go years and years ago and I'm going to keep on holding Bitcoin. I think Bitcoin is in a very unique position of its own. You're talking about an asymmetrical return possibility which already people have had huge asymmetrical returns. You're looking at something that has a limited supply. So Austrian economics, 21 million Bitcoin. You have a halving coming up.  The third thing I'm doing is I'm, this is me personally, I'm looking into farmland. So I've been in the farming space for a while, meaning I've investigated it. I know farmers, I've actually spent time, couple of weeks working on organic farm and I've been fascinated by farmland and specifically right now during the pandemic we're seeing an issue with supply chain and a supply chain with food. And I think going in the future, having local regenerative farming is going to be huge. For example, Ontario in the last 10 years, the return on farmland Ontario has been 10% per year. Forget houses, forget apartment buildings, farmland where it's at. It's not just a property, it's not just an asset. You have the asset which also produces you cash flow. The amount of yield it can reduce in a quarter acre is great. If you guys missed it go check out my interview I did with Curtis Stone when it comes to urban farming. And so I'm looking at putting some deals together for regenerative farming, circular farming, polyphase farming, whatever you want to call it. That's kind of my long, long, long-term bet. And then the next thing that I'm doing is a lot of people can do this as well. I am looking to either invest, start, advise or definitely get involved in e-commerce business which products are $20 and under. But key thing over here, the products must stimulate a dopamine high. So people in the recession, in a depression, they need to be happy. And so people gravitate towards things that are dopamine stimulating, coffee, chocolate, baby products, clothing. So let's talk about this, there's two categories. There's the vanity. So during recessions, depression, people like to support their dopamine with vanity. Then there is the chemical addiction. So chemical addiction is coffee. Chemical addiction is chocolate. It can be tea, biochemical. But the key thing is under $20. I don't have to think about it. It can be priced like 15 bucks. I click it, I buy it. Be great if it's only one skew. So that's what I'm kind of focusing on is e-commerce products below $20 that hit that dopamine high. So those are the things that I'm doing right now. The majority of things you can do yourself. This is what I'm currently doing. And the best thing to do for most people, like I said, is to really audit your situation, pause and just wait it out. The smartest people I know in finance are sitting on boatloads of USD cash and they're just waiting and waiting and waiting. And mind you, we're not one of those people. But the things that I mentioned you can do. If you have a little bit of non-USD cash, get some USD cash. If you haven't got some Bitcoin already, buy a little bit Bitcoin. If you're interested in the farmland, start investigating. Doesn't mean you have to buy farmland or be part of it. You know, there's many ways to get involved in it. Many, many different ways. And if you're interested in it, just shoot me an email. And for the e-commerce stuff, you can definitely do that. There's nothing stopping you from doing e-commerce. Find a product that you currently like. Maybe there's chocolate that you like. Make something better. Maybe there's a coffee you like. Make something better. Maybe there's a baby product you like. Make something better. Team up with somebody. Maybe you don't even start your own business. You do lead generation.  Anyways, that's a recession-proof type of business that people should get involved. So there you have it. That's what I'm currently doing. And if you have any questions for me, leave a comment below this video and I'll talk to you soon. Peace out.


Hi, this is George gal coming to you from Niagara Falls on the Canada side. I love Canada Haven't been here very much, but when I am I I love the scenery of the people I want to talk with you today about the two paths that I have experienced for success The and I'll give a quick overview and I'll go into a little bit more into each one the first path is one of being calculating and persuasive, so those are the the two key words to the first path calculating and persuasive the second path is generosity being generous and organized so I'll say and I've experienced both of these paths basically in chronological order I For the first four years of my business. I would say that I was I was very calculating and I relied a lot on my persuasiveness skills and calculating means I was always looking at How how can this person be useful for me if they contacting me randomly are they Are they going to be an influencer who can spread my message to lots of other people are their joint venture partner? Are they a potential client? If not, then I'm not going to give them the time of day You know, they're not useful to me Why should I give them any of my attention and energy and help right and that's calculating and also calculating means when you're Approach with an opportunity a way to serve and help you're always asking. Well, is this going to benefit my my bottom line? more than I put my give out or you know, is it going to give me more fame and Influence then then I give right and that's the calculating part of it The persuasion part is you know matter whether someone really really needs or wants my service I'm going to use my persuasion skills to try to get them to buy So it's more about getting people to buy then really really seeing if they really need my thing And if not what can I refer them to? So? the the this path is There's a common saying, you know wi ifm right? What's in it for me? What's in it for me? And so many business and marketing coaches are encouraging Their clients to always be asking will you know when you're right to your audience always be saying what's in it for me? And I I no longer believe that because I think that How we market does strengthen or deplete certain values in society So we're always trying to think about what's in it for me and our audience is always thinking what's in it for me It's going to strengthen that kind of selfishness and and greed and fear So let me tell you a bit about the other path, which I am experiencing now and I'm so grateful to have Have discovered and and experience myself, which is the path of really aiming to be generous and Organized, okay, so this is important. I know some of you are already very generous But you could probably use some help in the in the being organized realm in terms of being organized with your time And also being organized with your information But truly when you are both generous and organized you can change the world You can help tons of people and still be sustainable And you know to yourself and to your energy to respectful of your own boundaries, right? So generous means that when someone comes to me, I don't ask how can they be useful for me? I ask how can I serve in a way that I you know if I have a few minutes right now? How can I serve? I look at the longest term picture in terms of giving and karma rather than But anyway, I'm running out of time organization time management information organization I'll probably talk about that in another video But anyway signing off always welcome your comments and questions. This is George cow. Take care

Topps City in Latin America with the highest demand for English-language teachers, San Jose. Most teachers coming to Costa Rica, are intrigued by the country's exceptional natural wonders, such as lush rainforests and pristine beaches with first-class surfing opportunities. Even though teaching salaries aren't the highest in the region, teachers in San Jose can still live a comfortable lifestyle. The main hiring season is between January and February, as well as between June and July. Unknown to many people, the streets in the city of San Jose are laid out like a giant pineapple, leading to the city's nickname. Located in the central valley region, San Jose lies between the Talamanca Mountains in the south, and several volcanoes in the north. The city is famous for its Spanish colonial architecture, such as the National Theater of Costa Rica on Plaza de la Cultura. Thanks so much for watching.

Okay, welcome back. It's Friday, 29th January. We've had tons of questions on various different social channels for what exactly is going on. What is this situation with Robin Hood and all the brokers and what's going on with GameStop and Wall Street bets. So got the main man back again. Eddie Dommez. Eddie, how's the game? Hey, what a week. Yeah, I mean, incredible. But look, I mean, this is definitely much more up your street than mine. So I thought rather than me, try to explain this, you're going to do a far better job than I can. So get us up to speed. What exactly has been happening in terms of what happened last night with the brokers? So it's been an incredible week. And actually Robin Hood have taken a spectacular step in actually banning the trading of these retail favourites like AMC, like GameStop, because of the volatility. So really incredible steps that they've taken and they've actually been having to draw on credit lines and things like this from the major Wall Street banks that admit this volatility. So in terms of who's allowed to trade and things like that, the funds and hedge funds are still allowed to trade the stock and they are most likely making a killing. Now the shares were down so much up to 50, 60% in some of the names that AMC was down 53% on this announcement cost was down 43%. These average people, the retail traders that were making a lot of money and now potentially losing a lot of money. So the funds are not locked out, but the retail people are. So in kind of basic terms then, what triggered this action? Why did they have to do what they did, say Robin Hood for example? Yeah, so essentially the brokers were facing higher costs if the clearing houses, their kind of counterparties raised their margin requirements to protect their members from the increased volatility. So the broker Robin Hood, they don't have enough capital in terms of liquidity overnight and this was basically five billion in increased capital that they needed. And this just got too much for them basically. They tried to go too quickly, as we've seen with a lot of growthy tech names and deal with the consequences later. They usually have to put up one to 2% of that trade, but because of this volatility, they were having to put up five to 10% of each trade with the clearing houses. One of the things I saw actually late last night, GME surged 60% late hours and I just saw it, I think they're German listed, they're up nearly 90% now. So they've gone down 44. Now they're up 70, 80% again today. Robin Hood did say last night in the statement they would allow limited buys of these securities continue to monitor the situation. But presumably then more volatility is coming because this is the kind of taps going to come on and off, so to speak, is that the way that you see it? Yeah, I think the retail favourites have identified these targets and they're not, you know, particular targets, they can be anything. You've seen with Elon Musk and people tweeting about Bitcoin and Dogecoin, it's up 800%. So these were just some of the names for random reasons. We mentioned some fundamental catalysts, but this volatility could flow into any pockets of the market, mainly cryptocurrency, if you think about the decentralized nature of this kind of debate. So more volatility is definitely to come and I think this is the key point is there's got to be a consistent rule for people. You can't just say, you know, hedge funds, you are allowed to trade retail, you're not allowed to trade. That's not how it should work. There should be a kind of democratic approach to trading, right? It's a free market and, you know, some people may argue, is it a free market? You know, when we had, for example, in March, the Fed stepping in and buying, backstopping the credit markets, backstopping seemingly the equity markets.  So the free market is really taking or the idea of a free market mechanism is really taking a bit of a bit of a punch. And let's just remember Robin Hood's slogan, democratising finance for all, which is seeming pretty ironic right now. Well, you said it, but so what big players are against this move by Robin Hood? Yeah, so it's drawn even members like AOC said she would support examining a stock trading app. Robin Hood, they're a hearing against them. It's taken obviously Ted Cruz also a Republican, which has led to this kind of weird bipartisan agreement that this shouldn't happen. And obviously the names like David Portnoy has obviously felt extremely strongly about this, as you can imagine, and Shemath a very famous. I saw them in a Twitter spat, was it the point 72 guys at Cohen? Yeah, I mean, yeah, well this is this embodies the David versus Goliath story. Shemath tweeted very famous VC in moments of uncertainty when courage and strength are required, you find out who the true corporatists scumbags are, which is a pretty, pretty good gauge of the retail sentiment at this time. One of the things here is that prior to this episode, Robin Hood was a phenomenal success by many means is the lower barrier to entry, fulfilling their company course, Logan, I guess. But what we've seen, as you said as well is that this typically then they want to capitalize on that and the IPO, for example, surely, this is a significant bump to that ambition. Well, definitely so the IPO should have happened a few months ago, before this before they kind of got caught if you if you want to call it that. But this is definitely going to lead to a flux of people flooding out of this app, because it's really a far reaching issue and you've seen, you know, lots of movement from Wall Street best from Reddit saying look, let's, you know, let's leave Robin Hood. So they become the target themselves. Yeah, exactly. So it's been a really terrible week for Robin Hood, the early investors, for example, because they were all for Democrats, basically leveling the playing field for finance and financial trading and they've taken the complete opposite by suppressing people. So this is going to put a major spanner in the works for a potential IPO for sure. Okay, so I guess the biggest question now is, what next? Is there something specific? Yeah, so I think we need to definitely watch the situation as it evolves and let's take a look at where this kind of volatility, where the speculation next kind of rears its head. I think it's going to end up in the kind of cryptocurrency markets and the decentralized finance space, which some people may not be too familiar with. But this is a function of so many kind of social issues so much social unrest like we've seen over the last few years, and then the kind of the action from the central banks and the government's basically just flooding the system with liquidity and this speculation and this flood of liquidity is going somewhere, and it's kind of fueled by this coronavirus of course and the lockdowns and the frustrations from young people, particularly about baby boomers participating in equity market rallies, house price rallies, general asset price inflation, and they want to get a piece of it.  Okay, cool, well look, we'll wrap it there but as we did before, if there's any questions at all for Eddie, just drop a comment on this video. We're here to help. More than anything, I think a lot what this episode definitely has has shown because there was a few private group, what's that messages we were showing yesterday from different circles of generally young individuals new to markets and some of the stuff we were reading was was quite frightening so we do feel a bit of a responsibility to try and act as a as a sounding board to just get more informed about this type of stuff and so absolutely ask any questions. We're both happy to help. But cool. Thank you very much, Eddie. Thanks.


Hi, I'm Dr. Sunny Haft. I'm an assistant professor within the University of Maryland School of Medicine Department of Otolaryngology, and I'm an ENT surgeon within the University of Maryland Medical Center. As long as somebody is having an issue from here to here, I'll take a look and try to make it better. And so that involves seeing patients in clinic, even from primary complaints, and all the way up towards solving those issues within the operating room if need be. The reason that I really love ENT is because it's an intersection of all of our senses, and that is a very important thing to people. And to be able to give back hearing or voice or smell or taste is very powerful and it's very moving. One of the big populations I see are those with sleep apnea. And a lot of patients don't know that if they're not able to tolerate their CPAP, that there's actually a surgical operation or surgical procedure in order to give them a good night's rest and restore their normal sleep. And that procedure is called the hypoglossal nerve stimulator, and it's a very simple outpatient procedure. And it's putting a little stimulator on the nerve that goes to the tongue, and it brings their tongue forward when they sleep, and they can go from severe sleep apnea all the way down to cure, essentially, for some patients. I certainly see the whole gamut of problems that patients have, and there's a big intersection between a lot. So a lot of people don't know that perhaps their hearing difficulties are coming from the nose or the sinuses, or the same thing for voice. It could be coming from the sinuses or nose. And so I really do enjoy treating the entire picture from here to here and figuring out what is really driving somebody's issue. I did my schooling at University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine in Philadelphia, and then I went out and did my surgical training at University of California, San Diego. And then following that, I came back home here in Maryland to help serve the population, the people that I grew up with. A lot of what goes on in this area affects people, quality of life so deeply. And a lot of it comes down to a discussion with them about where they want to be, where do they see themselves six months from now, a year from now, and how can I help them get there, and what we can do together in collaboration. And sometimes that means just medical treatment using medicines for them, or sometimes that means doing a surgery that can actually fix that problem and get them over the hump that's been keeping them back for sometimes many years.
