I'm hesitant to post this because I don't really like any aspect of the political system. But here is what I heard last night at the Must/Trump conversation and I'm curious what part of this people disagree with:
A) do more vetting at the border (as in legal immigration) to prevent criminals coming in.
B) Have an energy policy that doesn't depend on our enemies for fossil fuels while we continue to explore and innovate on solar/nuclear
C) The biggest threat to not only America but the world is nuclear weapons in the hands of bad nations.
D) Cut Dept of Education because US is consistently getting lower on education vs the world and yet spending more per student.
E) Have a more efficient government in terms of spending. Everyone says this but nobody does anything about it. Is there a way to do something about it?
F) Inflation is the result of an increased money supply due to higher government (and inefficient govt spending). If money supply increases faster than our goods and services than inflation results.
G) A "strong" president deters bad foreign actors. Examples can be seen (this is my own comments on this) JFK (Bay of Pigs / Cuban Missile Crisis), Carter (Iran hostages), Bush (9/11, etc), and Trump implies Biden (Ukraine, Iran).
So: Am I missing something? And what part of this doesn't seem like common sense? And the important question: who is better at dealing with these issues (if they are issues): Trump or Harris. Why does Harris not have policies on her website?
I ask these questions in all sincerity, seeking answers, and without bias. I really want to know. People say this was a "rambling" interview but it seems like this is what I heard. Did I hear incorrectly?

It's important to take the politics out of this Immigration / H-1B Visa issue. This is an extremely important issue that has ZERO to do with politics or Trump's stance on immigation. It's worth understanding it before you judge it. Let me explain:
1) The "replacement rate" in the US is 2.1 children per woman. This is the amount of children that, on average, needs to be born so that the US will grow. Any less than this and the US population will SHRINK if there is no (legal) immigration. But there is a solution:
2) The replacement rate in the United States in 2023 was ONLY 1.65 children per woman. THIS IS THE LOWEST VALUE IN RECORDED HISTORY. And it's been lower than the replacement rate since the early 2000s. Because...
what high-end equipment they need, how to get ads, great guests, etc. These are the wrong questions. Here's what you should do. (1/x)
1) START NOW!
Take out the recorder on your iphone. Interview someone.
Interview your spouse about all the things that are wrong with you.
Or interview a homeless guy on the street. You can do 3 interviews in one day.
Or call a wrong # and interview.
Just START! (2/x)
2) DISTRIBUTION: Go to a company that distributes podcasts
Like Libsyn or Omny. They take your podcast and send it to all the places that host podcasts, like Apple Itunes, Stitcher, etc. Upload your episode(s).
Three assets that can benefit from FTX's collapse: (1/x)
1. Coinbase
The most mainstream centralized crypto exchange.
People who are nervous (as many many are) will move crypto assets to Coinbase.
The 52 week high on Coinbase is 355. Right now it's 50 (the 52 week low was 44). (2/x)
2. Uniswap's token, UNI. The second largest DeFi exchange. If people move assets from FTX to a DeFi exchange the UNI token will certainly benefit. UNI's high was $40 and now it's around $5. (3/x)
FTX and Binance is a crypto soap opera.
This is a crazy story of love, hate, money, and we might not get to the bottom of it. What I say in this thread is speculative.
But here's what happened, what is happening, and the good and bad of what might happen to crypto. (1/x)
1. First off, CZ (CEO of Finance) and SBF (Sam Bankman-Fried) were friends in the past. They grew up in this industry together and CZ even invested in FTX (2/x)
2. CZ was born in China and his family moved to Canada
The China ==> Canada route is a well known path for people in China with money to get their money out. When regimes change in China a lot of people disappear. Watch the latest CCP meeting to see it happen live on tv. (3/x)
