Don't get the out of here. I'm coming back. But still, is that worth a bajillion dollars? Why do so many suckers on the internet, sorry, I mean people, believe fake money as value?
So the only thing backing this money is belief in the competency of the US government.
Damn. So not only is cryptocurrency fake, all money is fake. Wake up, Wall Street. You know, money isn't real, right? All this stuff is all fake. But Wall Street doesn't care if money is real, as long as they're making lots of it. They've been pumping millions into Bitcoin and Ethereum, driving the creation of thousands of new cryptocurrencies. But how low is the bar for entry?
Let me get this straight. You took Bitcoin and you just changed the font to Comic Sans. And we put a dog on it. This was the guy to talk to. So tell me about the genesis of doggy coin. Well, firstly, it's Dogecoin.
E-coin, electronic coin, dog e-coin.
It's not. But guess what? This stupid meme currency is worth almost $400 million.
And sure, cryptocurrency might destroy the planet through climate change and supporting road nuclear states, but... This is America! So I decided to make my own cryptocurrency, but that has to be an incredibly complex... John, that was easy. I did it! It literally takes 10 minutes to go on a website and make your own coin. Time to make it rain Chencoin and kickstart the financial revolution.
Do you accept Chencoin? Chen? Chencoin is like Bitcoin. It's disrupting global financial systems. using blockchain technology?
No? No, only cash. I'll send you money over the internet. Money? I'm gonna demonstrate. So imagine if I send you this, right? Thank you. No, no, but digitally. No, no, no, give me back my five. How are people not getting this? No, I'm paying you. I'm paying you in Chan coin. Get the out of my camp. Out of my camp. Remember this moment.
Remember this moment when you had a chance to jump on Chan coin and you didn't. All right, here's the last. Invest in Chan coin. Just don't ask me how it works. Chicago, big city, windy city, opinionated city. Whether you're from Hyde Park, Lincoln Park, or Wicker Park. Why is everything a park? Their food is as iconic as their corruption. Al's Italian beef sandwich.
Garrett's addictive popcorn mix. Portillo's jumbo hot dogs. And of course, the legendary Chicago pizza I've heard so much about. What the f***? is this. This is Chicago deep dish pizza. Yo, I said I wanted pizza, not some Italian guy's dump on a plate. This looks like me eating pizza and then throwing it up into a bread bowl and then leaving it in the sun to dry. This is how Chicago does pizza.
I refuse to believe you can't get a decent slice of pizza in this city, all right? This is the birthplace of Lincoln, Obama, Michael Jordan. None of those people were born here. This is what people in Chicago call pizza? Where can I find a decent slice in the city instead of this stupid bull ? I couldn't find a single place that sold real pizza. Just these deep dish dough dumpsters.
This isn't pizza. This isn't even human food. After hours of only deep dish, I finally found a place that served delicious, normal pizza pie. The Cook County Jail. That's right, the best pizza in Chicago is in the biggest jail in America. This gourmet pizza is actually made by and sold to inmates as part of a training program called Recipe for Change.
Thomas Dart is the sheriff of Cook County Jail. He's been running the pizza program for four years.
They haven't been asking for it. Recipe for Change is one of several rehab programs at the Cook County Jail, along with drumming, painting, chess, gardening, and more. So what made you become a hero sheriff and not a Joe Arpaio sheriff?
The man giving them that skill? Local restaurateur Chef Bruno Abate, who volunteers his time and expertise to teach inmates how to cook the best pizza in Chicago.
After a straight hour of on deep dish pizza, Chef Bruno finally got around to telling me more about how his program is affecting inmates.
It was great to be with people in Chicago who understood what pizza is supposed to look and taste like. Guys, this pizza is genuinely awesome. You must have people lining up around the block to buy this. Actually, it's only for inmates. Guys, we gotta rescue Chicago from that bull deep dish pizza.
Look at this.
In the last presidential election, 44% of Americans did not vote. That puts you in 26th position among developed countries. That's pathetic. You should be ashamed of yourself. That's garbage. It's so garbage that in 2016, Trump got elected with only a quarter of eligible voters supporting him. That is a broken system. Some politics nerds are proposing a solution.
