Most of my life I worked over 40 hours a week. I had to so I would not become homeless, and there were several times when I became homeless after working over 60 hours a week (sometimes over 80 hours a week) because the car broke down and I didn't have the money to get it fixed because I was paid so little.

Hi guys,

Thanks for doing this.

I love the discussion about cult and how that modality could explain so many processes going on now.

- But you know what the funniest thing about Europe is?

- What?

- It's the little differences. They've got the same shit over there we've got here but just... they're a little different.

- Example?

- You know what they call in Europe that which we call "work ethics" in the US?

- They don't call it "work ethics"?

- No, they have a system that isn't designed to squeeze every last drop out of an employee, expect him to be happy about it and call it ethical.

- Then what do they call it?

- Self-exploitation.

Now imagine Biden being in that circle and all of a sudden him being scared to actually do anything makes a lot more sense.

Yikes, that was disturbing to learn that predators like Weinstein aren't an aberration and aren't working alone but are in fact enabled by a great number of staff who work directly for them and know exactly what they're doing.

I have studied the 2007 recession extensively, and you did get one thing wrong, and that is that while Bernie Madoff soaked up a lot of the media attention at the time, he was not the fall guy for the crisis. That was explained by being a series of oopsie whoopsies that just simply happened, totally by accident, nobody could have ever seen it coming, no need to prosecute, no need to find out why it happened (kind of like Jan 6), just a freak event that will probably never happen again anyway. Besides, the people that were hurt the most deserved it - that will teach them not to lie on mortgage applications - shame on them, they need to learn their lesson. Let's just "foam the runways" for the bankers (who really meant no harm) and forget the whole thing.

Voters didn't forget. They remembered in November - of 2016.

BTW, Thomas "Listen Liberal" Frank explains the whole thing very well in multiple YouTube videos.

I have yet to listen to this episode, so I don't want to come off as insensitive to women's issues, but I would really like for Krystal and Kyle to have Warren Farrell on the show. He is the author of The Boy Crisis and he speaks about issues that affect men and boys without diminishing women's issues or telling women to go back to the kitchen. Kyle has been dismissive of MRAs which sure they can be very cringy, but there are things that men and boys struggle with that Kyle is unaware of. But that's my opinion, what do you think.

Hollywood and DC are the same. Fame, fortune and power prevent the players from acknowledging corruption and evil in order to protect their “wealth”. Kudos to Rose for exposing the truth and standing up to power and shame on AOC and #TheFraudSquaud for selling out in order to protect their future earnings and power.

This is what we should be teaching our kids in America from day one: "Fact of life - Assholes get ahead. So you decide - it's your conscience."

Coming from 17 years in the service industry/construction, I must agree with Kyle on his stance on how many people must work longer hours. I recently made the transition into software engineering and the difference is stark. I now have the option to work less hours, which is amazing, but previously I worked 70 hrs a week for less money than I make now. I didn't work 70 hrs a week because I'm a workaholic, I worked it so that I could attempt to make ends meet (it still wasn't enough, all our savings was gone in less than 2 years after having our first child). We aren't homeowners, we don't live in fancy apartments, we are just trying to make it.

as someone who has been registered IND for decades I have ended up telling many -D- friends "If this is the best your liberals can do, you needs to gets some new ones!"

as in failure in the simple existence of opposition is no longer an excuse for repeated failure, it is a sign of collusion.

I will delete this (; Uh I’m using substk thru my phone, but it’s really hard to navigate around . I also went to substk home page and typed Krystalkylenwhatever and it wouldn’t bring me to their page. Also if I flick the internet closed on accident I lose my place. And this is probably against k and k that there’s no link to YouTube to watch the video instead of audio. Hah thanks for responding (;
