What are the current stock market trends?

Scott Adams 0:00
The stocks are not looking good, so don't look at them. Don't look. Don't look at your stocks. Just let it happen. All right. As soon as I've got my comments working here. There we go. Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. Do, do, do, do, do, do. Do, do, do, do, do. Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization, like you've never seen before. But if you'd like to take this experience up to levels that nobody's even seen with their tiny, shiny human brains, all you need for that is a cup or a mug or a glass, a tank or a chalice, a stye, a canteen jug, or a flask, a vessel of any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee. And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine of the day, the thing that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip, and it happens now. Ah, perfection. Or as Trump says, perfecto, perfecto. Well, I wonder if there are any scientific studies that didn't need to happen because they could have just asked me. Oh yeah, here's one.

According to the AP, there's a study that shows that people who make good decisions have an unfair advantage. Thank you, Omar, for bringing that to my attention. And he said an X that they should have asked Scott. Yeah, I think I'm going to guess that one right off the top. Who has an unfair advantage? People who make Bad decisions or people who make good decisions? I don't know. Let me think about that. All right, I'm going to go with people who make good decisions. All right, I've got a question for you. What the hell happened to the Fort Knox audit of the gold? Do you think if Fort Knox actually had the gold that we wouldn't have seen it yet? Are you telling me that Trump doesn't want to stand next to a giant pile of gold and have his picture taken?
Scott Adams 2:29
There's probably nothing that he would like better than that, except standing next to a pile of gold. So, I'm not sure we have any gold. Well, according to Bindu Reddy, we're three to four years away from having a household robot that can cook and clean and fix things. What else could that robot do? You know what I mean? You know what I mean? Wink, wink, wink.

How can a household robot change our lives?

Scott Adams 2:58
If it can cook and clean and fix things, well... Well, just maybe. Maybe it's a full-service robot. You don't know. Maybe. But doesn't three to four years away feel like not exactly what we've been told? Because I thought when Elon Musk was talking about Optimus, he was saying that it can dance and it can walk around and it can interact. But what he didn't say is you could give it instructions on something he had never done before and it could go do it, you know, like wash the dishes or something like that. I don't think they can do it. So I'm still waiting for the robot demonstration where they have it do things that, you know, are just generic things like, can you put these dishes in the dishwasher?
Scott Adams 3:56
All right, now iron this shirt. I don't think we're even close. So three to four years sort of sounds like nuclear fusion. You know, it's always 10 years away. I've got a feeling the robots that can really do things for you, maybe they'll always be three years away. I don't know. I'm a little bit skeptical. According to the Washington Times, overdose deaths fell 27% last year. Is that new news? Because I feel like we heard that before. But they don't know exactly why, but my guess is it has to do with more access to the Narcan. That's the thing that you give somebody who's having an overdose. Probably the Narcan. I can't think of anything else. It's not like there's a supply is limited or anything like that. So probably that.

Well, OMB director Russ Vogt says they intend to take the Doge agenda and the cuts and the momentum and the initiative and turn them into permanent savings. Really? How many of you think that's going to happen? Do you think the Doge savings are just going to be turned into permanent savings? Maybe. But doesn't it just seem to you that they'll just treat it like it's money they can spend?
