What do you know about the Ukraine? One of the things – and again, I don't know enough to – I'm curious because I know you've interviewed a lot of smarter people than me. I was told that one of the leverage points for the Ukraine in order to get funding was to put up land as collateral through – like their farmland is put up as collateral on the loans that are being provided.
And those loans are essentially being provided by these big conglomerates.
Because I always look and go, well, there's no such thing as – Everything's biased. No such thing as a free lunch. So what is the real agenda and who's funding and why is always my question just from seeing other sectors and what happens. Of course. Always.
That's where all of this gets so hard. It's like. I want to believe there's truth in that we have somewhere where we still have integrity and honesty and transparency. It doesn't mean you always get it right. But even redacting the articles doesn't happen.
That's so crazy.
I don't know enough about, do they do control burns and all that in California now to try and stop, like create stop gaps and all that for the fires? Or how does that, how do they even do that?
Right, or months later. But it's also an island. It can't be that hard to find these people.
Well, and then I know, too. I mean, it's taken forever for people to get their insurance claims and their money. And that happens even here with hurricanes. It's a. You know, if you don't have the money to pay for stuff yourself, you're stuck battling the insurance company. If you don't have the money to battle the insurance company, then you're really in a tough spot. Right. Yeah, it's dark.
I had a – during a hurricane in Houston at our pharmacy, I had a tree damage the roof, but then it wasn't covered by flood insurance because they said it was wind-driven rain. Anyways, it was like $60,000 in damage that the insurance didn't cover because they could say it's wind-driven rain, not flood – not rising water. So water damage is very specific?
Yeah, they have different ways of loot pulling out of paying your coverage. And so for somebody who's, it's their house, you know, who maybe doesn't have the money to fight the insurance companies, they just put a tarp on the roof and live with it as long as they can until they can afford to fix it.
Yeah, I had flood insurance, everything, and it doesn't cover it, so I got left holding the bag. Is there tree insurance?
Oh, God. Insurance is a racket. And then even in health care insurance, you know, like.
Is there a thing out there that's not a racket? I know. Church, religion, everything's a racket.
I think I'm paraphrasing him for sure, but I think that's accurate. As great as we are as humans, we are tribal, like you said. So we find reasons to see how we're different and where to argue and where to fight. And I think that allows corruption to creep in. Oh, yeah. It's insidious. It spreads. It's in every aspect of life.
We're talking about there's no justification for letting in murderers. Mark Twain, there's lies, there's damn lies, and then there's statistics.
Yeah, in California, they don't arrest if it's under $1,300 or something. Oh, yeah. They just let them walk out with TVs, they just gotta make sure it's under like 1200 bucks.
I wonder, even with AI, as we get down to that, like you were talking about, it's a way more complex conversation than today, but what are they going to do with the massive displacements in jobs between AI and robotics and humanoid robots?
I mean, there's 10 companies out there that are launching robots, not just Elon, and those are backed by chat GPT and large language models that are rapidly approaching the level of human knowledge and intellect that...
We already have – everyone has Alexa in their house and what was that one? Like I told – I made a joke about the government. I laughed. Alexa laughed. So did the FBI or whatever it is. It's so entrenched in our world. I don't know. I don't know.
It's nuts, and it's like right out in the open. Well, with the AI and the way things are headed too, though, when we talk about displacement of jobs, so many people think it's going to be like Trade workers. And I'm like, no, this is going to replace clinicians. This is going to replace doctors, lawyers, you know, a lot of. Dude, a lot of things. A lot.
