you have gained a new (and turkish (and proud)) subscriber

Absolutely! Still a favourite to this day :))

Agreed that there should be heavy restrictions especially when it comes to young people. Particularly with advertising and safety from exploitation. I also agree that in today's world so much is desperately trying to capture every ounce of our attention and that's probably not healthy. But we have seen trends recently of UA-cam having a massive swing in viewership on TV's ... a move away from brain rot content. Additionally, there are platforms like what's been developed by Dude Perfect and Nebula as a means to curate high quality, value driven media materials. It's no surprise they have been so popular. Yeah, complete bans rarely ever work, just drive the market into more dangerous locations. I wouldn't say no restrictions. The European Union has particularly been on their ass regarding a number of practices and policies, which extrapolates to the rest of the west because it's easier to implement the new rules everywhere, than an individual experience for each country ... usually. I think in general, capitalist-driven governments have assumed that organisations can regulate themselves, which they've proved over and over is not possible. But I do also think that an out-right ban is an illogical, ill-thought out move with significant downstream consequences. In regards to proper childhoods, I believe the entire education system needs an over hall, allowing kids more time to experiment, find what they enjoy and get good at those things. Not sit in a dark room for 14 hours per day, developing record high mental and physical health issues.

ahaha good luck

Many U.S. Congress people admitted this was a primary reason for their push to ban TikTok. They were no longer able to control the messaging.

you must be junkie to call out this lol

I wish we had communist overlords, at least then governments would operate in our interests. But then again, the definition of communism contradicts that of overlord. They probably rushed it through as a cheap play to win over the votes of some parents ... but the fact that it received such negative backlash, I am surprised they still went through with it. Honestly, just confusing.

Exactly! tbf it lines up with so many other out of touch policy decisions ... which is disappointing when they are doing so much right, especially for things like worker protections, but then fumble so hard with everything else.

Sure some media institutions like MSNBC have a democratic swing. But globally, Murdoch, his subsidiaries and sympathisers by far have the most control and influence. Laws of supply and demand are largely a myth perpetuated by those with control over the mechanism to convince you things will work themselves out by removing regulation. When in reality, it starts off well, quickly diving into monopolies and exploitation as soon as institutions have a sniff of market power. Supply and demand also doesn't account for positive or negative externalities effecting those not part of the transaction, like fossil fuels. Haven't looked into the other agencies, but I wouldn't be surprised. The DOD is notable though because of how much money is blindly handed to it each year. As you would know, promises mean nothing, especially from politicians. largely, he is the "deep state". All of his rhetoric in the run up to the election was in relation to appointing an autocratic regime. The dems are not the good guys by any means. They are just the less detrimental. Both parties are puppets to corporate interests. But only the republicans have been pushing for a fascist-style regime. Of course decreasing unnecessary bureaucracy is a good thing. But this is not what is intended. If looking at how Elon has handled Twitter just over the past year is an indication of anything ... things are about to get much worse. Also, inflation is largely (but not entirely) caused by corporate greed, increasing shareholder profits and corporate buy backs. The easiest way to bat at inflation currently is to increase consumer protections against this exploitation.

​@@ParkerFloris Murdoch has not much to do with this, you very well know that the media is against Trump, the New York times, CNN, MSNBC, CBS, NBC, ABC, Vice, Vox, BBC, Reuters, Axios, the Guardian, the Atlantic, the Economist, the Washington Post, Buzzfeed, all are left-leaning, the only ones that I can think of that are popular and right wing are fox, wsj, the sun and the daily mail, and you can search up theese claims, this is why people are starting to go to independant news sources. And then about supply and demand, you make a red herring, I didn't say anything about market regulation, I said that if an increase in the demand of public health services occurs, and the supply (doctors, surgeons) doesn't increase, then the quality of the public health service decreases because the queues get longer and the dedicated time to each person get lowered, furthermore doctors get exhausted, and because things like medicine become more scarse, the price goes up. Say, if 1000 people go to a hospital every day, then one day it doubles, won't the service then get worse? And then you agree with me that we should lower beurocracy. You have no proof that Trump won't enact the things that he has said he will enact now that he has the senate and house. There is no proof that he is the deep state, for the deep state refers to the beurocratic jungle which is the executive sector of the US government (outside of the President), furthermore the Democrats have not done anything against it. There is no proof that he has used autocratic rhetoric, nor that the Republican party is fascist, you don't even seem to know what those words mean, you just use them on someone which disagrees with you. Elon's actions don't represent the Republican parties' policies which Elon will enact, and inflation is caused by the money printer, not buy backs which are illegal.

Nope, cope harder.

@elliotbacklund8529 well tech libertarians and Christian fundamentalists don't share the same vision but they can coalesce behind maga

@@nvna1111 Thank you, just know we aren't voting based on some aesthetic. Sorry for my demeaning comment. The thing is that both Christian fundamentalists and libertarians just want to make the current state smaller. But it is true that some of us Christians eventually want a big Christian state which the liberterians don't want.

@@elliotbacklund8529 yeah I can see why aesthetic might be reductive, but I still wanna use a term like "image". I think maga is a very big tent. I'm not on the side of it but I'm not looking to misrepresent it either

Agreed. Many Republicans who stood against him in the midterms got knocked out. The others learnt to stay quiet and accept their fate. Also, for the senators, they will outlast him. So they just need to be voted in, then can do as they like as their terms are 6 years.

Trump having people in his cabinet which do not perfectrly allign with Trump's personal views does not mean Trump is self-contradicting. Most republicans have many things in common.

Agreed. We as humans are contradictory machines. But we are also highly adaptable, working with what we've got to get to where we want to go.

I was probably too sleep deprived to convey effectively, but what I was getting at was that the basic fundamentals of economic and social objectives are heavily split within the party. These objectives being contradictory in nature and hence impossible to achieve simultaneously.

@@ParkerFloris True, but this is true for every party, and the USA isn't a direct democracy either, so pointning this out is just pointless. People voted for Trump, because they to a great degree agree with him, trying to say the Republican party is self-contradictory is false because the views and legislation of the Republican party isn't defined by the views of the people that chose to vote Republican over Democrat, but by the views of the Republican representative, i.e. Trump. If you want to point out how the Republican party is self-contradictory then focus on Trump's policies, instead of the make-up of the Republican party.

Except Trump is not the Republican party. They offer him no more loyalty. He has no third term. Unless they are up for elections in the mid term. The only loyalty they have is to their constituents, which many voted split ballot to Dems. They are the only people they have to appeal to.

Josh is just full of insights isn't he!

Glad to hear!

Thanks for coming on! You’re welcome back anytime ☺️

Literally agree! Randomly got the channel recommended, but loving it!

I appreciate it! Can't wait to see the community grow too :) Got some exciting plans ahead! Welcome

ahaha glad you are now along for the ride!

Cheers, will do!

Thank you. Ahaha that’s great 😆 I’ll take all the manifesting I can get 🙏

Appreciate it! Great meeting you too!

It is beautiful 😘

Thanks for having me! Here’s to many more insightful gatherings 🍻

Cheers bro

🥳

ahaha my pleasure :)

Couldn't agree more!

😎

You’re not wrong ahaha

ahaha touche 😄

😆

Exactly aha the cost-benefit analysis is not easy with all the intangibles or very tangibles in your case aha congrats. But then the money is for the degree and when the degree is (largely) a waste of time and money, the math doesn't math. We were literally told throughout highschool that Uni loans were "like free money" ... until covid inflation hit with 7.1% interest rates on a degree that doubled in price 3 months before I got in. My friend has now done 3 TAFE courses FOR FREE ... and honestly ... that seems like the better choice ...

And the beautiful little girl signing LOVEYOURJOURNEY ❤

I know!!! So genuine 🥹 Good for them getting there first

Adorable

Thank you :)

@@ParkerFloris I was fortunate enough to watch you find Tim in Sydney on the livestream, and it was really impressing. I congratulate you on it!

Oh really?! ahaha. Thank you!
