Tipping is one of the reasons i can’t afford to eat out much any more. I always tip 20% (or more) unless I’m unhappy with the service - i am just so glad someone is doing this job. But my area charges 13% tax for prepared food (6% sales tax + 7% prepared food tax) , then add tip and inflated prices since the pandemic - and a person on a fixed income just can’t do it, unless they have lots of investments spinning off profits.😊

Metric in the US. I worked at a Department of Energy Laboratory. In the 1990’s they built a new biology building and the big announcement was that it was going to be built using the metric system. I’m sure it made purchasing a nightmare. Fortunately this was at the time that blueprints were beginning to be drawn in Computer Aided software. They could flip between American standard and metric units easily in the design process.

Community college in California was $48 per unit when I attended college in the 2010s. Now it’s $46 per unit, but now first-time college students can get their first 2 years tuition-free. My advice would be to get an Associate’s, go out and find work at companies that offer tuition reimbursement, and then go back to school to finish your Bachelor’s. You’ll graduate with way less debt. There’s also universities out there that offer asynchronous remote learning where the price of tuition and fees is a fraction of the cost of in person enrollment if coming to campus conflicts with your busy schedule.

Hi Briggs, my wife and I were talking about your question regarding moving the Capital somewhere else. So, we think that some place like Denver, Colorado might make sense. The reason is that we felt that the capital would need some of the following: 1. Security-more centralized away from the coastline. 2. Good infrastructure. 3. Good Airport. 4. A medium size populace that might be more relatable to the entire nation that the capital should represent. 5. Accessibility to all, centralized. 6. Room to grow. Although my wife and I are from Utah and more conservative than the Colorado population; however, we believe that the state has more to offer than other states and allows for better representation to all areas and states. Thanks for all of your interesting videos and thoughts. Bob and Sherril

I'm for the capital staying in DC. There is so much that is already there. To rebuild it all would be an extravagant waste. That money would be better spent on other things, like a better education system for DC's residents.

Think about it for a moment. If you moved DC to like Wichita Kansas, you'd have all the politicians on the plains arguing about which building goes where, whose office gets a river view, and as slow as government moves, it would take like 50 Years to even break ground. That's 50 years of government, not heing in DC enacting stupid legislation that makes our lives worse...

Haven't watched it yet (I will) but I hope "Go Bankrupt Because of Medical Bills" is on here.

Spoiler alert: It's not.

What about adding extra charges known as sales tax for merchandise and services?

Not taking home restaurant leftovers is a horrible waste of food. Plus if it's meat, an animal went through a living hell for that. Shame on them.

Unless, of course, they have a creative way of reusing and reselling the leftovers.....YUCK

In Cambodia (at least in 2013) they mix coffee with sweetened condensed milk, sometimes in a 1:1 ratio. That is pretty darn sweet.

Another home run Briggs. The actor from the movie Super Size Me died yesterday. Must have been all of the McDonalds food he lived on.

Here is something about the advertising of prescription drugs in the US. The reason for the heavy advertising budget of the big pharma companies is not to get the consumer to use these drugs. Because most patients only get the drugs prescribed by their doctors. It's because they can hold that advertising budget over the heads of the media companies. They can threaten to pull their advertising money if the media company shows their viewers bad press about them. Even if it's a legal outcome of a court trial.

Black cows? Little know fact... cows in the Yukon and Alaska give... Ice cream.

I would rather know that a consumer prescription drug is available than not know it. What could go wrong?? Not knowing it's available, that's what!

Usually in foreign countries you have options, and even when the doctor may prefer a certain brand, you can ask for a prescription for the generic ingredient and choose the one you like, on top of that the drug comes with a huge description about what it is, what it does, side effects, etc, it’s pretty cool

In the old days, pharmaceutical companies would give kickbacks to doctors for prescribing their drugs. I'd much rather be informed about what is available than my doctor prescribing something that might be less effective, or not really needed so they get a payday...

Here in Canada we just get stupid, vague ads for pharmaceuticals that list the name of the drug and say "ask your doctor about X" and we are left more confused than ever about what it is, or what it does. Sure we now know that drug X is a thing, but what is it used for? Turns out, they're not allowed to state anything about the drug in advertising except its name. What a waste of advertising dollars. Imagine being a doctor and being bombarded by questions about some new drug that's advertised on TV for a condition your patients don't even have.

Not necessarily surprising, but definitely an eye opener when you view them all in one sitting. All you have to do I’d ask who benefits most from a particular thing to see what they all have in common.

If you look at old newspapers from the 1700s you will see widespread use of Month / Day / Year format. For example the London Gazette, The New York Gazette, The The Delaware Gazette, Daily Courant. Many British newspapers (e.g. the Sun, The Telegraph, The Guardian) kept the old Month / Day / Year format well into the 1960s. Continental Europe always used the Day / Month / Year format.
