Amazon has good customer service and good prices. The bigger and more horrible you are, the more you can do.

yeah you are wrong there. Vancouver is like the 7th most costly city in the world. Hong Kong, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Singapore, Beijing, Munich all top that and New York, los Angeles and Paris are equivalent

Facebook needs to die. And every single person that is still invested in facebook deserves to lose their money and I would not shed a tear about it regardless of their financial situation. The real actual evil facebook has spread around the world is disgusting. It has literally been the MIC's agent to start wars between counties, start civil wars, and cause political unrest and regime changes, help elect brutal dictators and then give them information to persecute journalists, minorities, political opponents, LGBTQ people and shit. It has worked to wreak economic havoc, disrupt supply chains, spread terrorism causing destruction starvation and death in so many countries when it aligns with objectives of MIC. Supporting facebook at this point is supporting the mIC and I have ZERO sympathy for people who do that because it is literally common knowledge now. I dont care if you invested in Google or Tesla or twitter or even amazon because as evil as you may think these companies are (and they are evil), there is nothing even close to as evil as facebook. Even defence contractors themselves make something useful like planes and space equipment or whatever. But facebook will not get any quarter from me, nor will any apologist for that devil company or its investors. Die meta die, die die die

"Vote for Non of the above" best advice from a silly movie….

ALWAYS shit on the 1%, Linus. They have too much. Worry about the rest of us and don’t die on being pedantic about this.

33:25 IBM makes hardware middleware and software. How ironic. It's the biggest and oldest of them all. Plus the Lenovo group sale/stake made them even bigger. Well, both companies.

I was jazzed when Brewster’s millions came up, but he calls it a bad 80’s movie? Fuck off eh?

Just cover your cost and talk to the customer about how much profit you should get? Give them a choice of profit they would like you to make. 3 tears where first level is least profit, then two more levels with each giving you more profit. You could even make statements about each level… 1st level is we will still be here but barely. 2nd level when x number of people click this we can add support. And 3rd level help fund our retirement and business continuation plan.

Newegg just committed business suicide.

you could regulate people from just hoarding money or not using it by incurring some kind of tax or fine for having money just sitting there, maybe attach some kind of tracking to income and funds? a certain amount of money has to move out compared to your overall earnings perhaps? im not very knowledgable about economics so this might already be a thing

The only things that cost enough spend $1.5 million a year on are precisely the things that people who make that much spend their money on, because they're so exclusive and rich people want to have exclusive things. The prices are only so high because rich people are willing to pay it to have something other people can't have. High end booze and food. High end clothing. High end jewelry (which are arguably investments). High end cars, boats, and planes (which are absolutely not investments). And yeah, there's probably some high end hookers, too. There's also probably exclusive private schools for their kids. These things aren't really worth it, per se, but they're buying symbols of their status, which in turn buys them social influence and greater mating opportunities.

Micro Center is the very place for computers & parts in the U.SA.!!!

One scenario in "privateering" that wasn't ever address was being part of a channels YT Join program. Is someone still a privateer if they use adblock but kick that creator $4.99 a month? One would think the channel makes FAR more from one person in that $5 than they would on that persons ad commission for a month.

🤔

1:15:00 For what it's worth, a private jet is about $3000 an hour. Fly to and from lunch daily and that's it.

1:45:58 The Quick bits?

if LTTstore was a computer store, instant customer from me.

Linus is a simp. Newegg is shitty. Watch UFD Tech’s video on his experience with them.

About the 1%. Jealousy and envy doesn't look good on you. Or on anybody. For ANY reason. I'm tired of hearing people getting all judgy and dissing the 1%. Again, for any reason. If somebody makes their money legally, and doesn't hurt anybody else while making it, we should leave them alone. Except maybe to interview them and ask them how they achieved their success.

Also, we would be much better off if we talked to millionaires and deca-millionaires, and ask THEM how they achieved their success. Oh wait, somebody already DID ask them. And the answers are very eye-opening. Can't speak for Canada, especially since your government can just shut down your finances, but here in the US, the top 3 careers of millionaires is Engineer, IT person, or teacher.

Yes, TEACHERs are the third most frequent millionaires. So why do we hear about all the poor and destitute teachers in the world, hmmm? Throw off your old wives' tales and learn something useful, go pick up "Everyday Millionaire" by Chris Hogan. It's cheap on Amazon. They interviewed 10,000 US millionaires in the biggest study ever done on the subject. Go learn. Then start working on improving your own life and the lives of those you love.

Any form of high-end competitive 'hobby' motorsport should burn through that pile of cash pretty quickly
