00:00 - Intro 01:01 - Chapter 1: Housing and Rental Crisis 07:20 - Chapter 2: Food and Gas Prices 10:50 - Chapter 3: Declining Economic Productivity 13:00 - Conclusion

What I learned:

The video explains what creates some of the increased housing costs - but not who. Our previous video showcases the vast majority of culprits:

Are Conservative Landlord MP's Responsible for Rising Rents?

https://my-video-education.blogspot.com/2023/08/are-conservative-landlord-mps.html

The video does not explain the US price gouging spill over into Canada which has made almost everything increase in price. The lack of competition in Canada and the monkey see - monkey do copycat price gouging is increasing prices. The ratio of homegrown price increases to imported price increases is probably 60:40. 

The majority of government legislation is designed to keep the status quo and all politicians are guilty of self-serving rather than community service. This video is an excellent start - if you name and shame then you have to do both sides to be totally fair and accurate.

(00:00:00) - Intro and why I’m talking about this

(00:03:37) - Not only is your brain probably overstimulated, it’s probably avoiding something (00:05:02) - You’re going to have to get some excitement somewhere (00:06:58) - Cut out thirsty triggers (00:10:11) - Stop chasing empty dopamine “calories” (00:11:11) - Use tech properly (00:13:25) - Use BETTER tools

What I earned:

Sex is used to attract and sell almost everything on the planet

Watching whatever is like eating sugar - empty calories and a waste of time

Yes eliminating the distractions is difficult and the results of hard work take much longer to trigger satisfaction, however the benefits are positive and longer lasting.

What I learned:

The profesor outlines the damage to America's young people from various conditions and situations.

He uses examples of money transfers from young people to old people and from poor to rich.

He explains that these inequalities are creating anger, rage and dangerous young men.

He explains that education has failed and that young people are uneducated and vulnerable to self-destruction activities.

There are lots of entities that are blamed.
