I’m sorry to hear that. Did they ever get to see him in concert?

My Grammie and my Stepmom both loved him. They'd both enjoy that documentary, too. We used to have an annual Halloween party at my dad's house in Charleston, and my stepmom would bust out the karaoke box, and everybody sang, it's a requirement for attending. She used to sing a lot of Elvis songs. I've sang my fair share, but I'm also sang the Gilligan's Island theme song, my greatest karaoke moment.

I don’t think people who weren’t there at the time can truly appreciate what a monumental feat this was. A group of young American players going up against the Soviet machine.
They weren’t supposed to even be competitive. This wasn’t an underdog story like “slightly worse team wins.” It was “no realistic path to victory” territory.
That iron coach drilled his team like never before, and it paid off. They had the stamina, skill, and sheer determination to give everything they had against an almost almighty adversary and they pulled it off.

So I grew up believing that beavers needed to be wiped out. If there was a beaver dam in one of our creeks, my Dad got right to work to kill it and clear the dam but I was never sure why. Most of my neighbors still feel this way but there are some progressive types that are actually building fake beaver dams that they call "beaver dam analogs". This got me reading up on it and I came across this guy...
He had a stream that his cows drank from that he remembered flowing year round when he was a kid but in recent years it had been drying up in late summer every year. He imported beavers and once they were established the stream runs year round again. This blew my mind and got me all excited about beavers. I haven't actually done anything about it, but I think beavers could be beneficial on parts of my ranch.
So now I'm pro-beaver, but down by the river I have a creek crossing where we brought in a bunch of concrete guardrail posts and made a place where I can drive across the creek on the posts. It worked great for a couple of years but this summer a beaver built a dam just downstream from it and now my fucking crossing is under 4 feet of water so I'm conflicted between my new-found pro-beaver attitude and a strong desire to blow this fucker up.

He's right 99.9% of crypto is a scam, he also doesn't understand why Bitcoin is different. I wouldn't suggest looking to actors for financial insight though.Didn't realize he was married to Morena Baccarin til I saw her sitting on the couch.
Anyway,Flobee isn't going to like this one.

We are almost at the Event Horizon for this scenario. Social test runs like “Covid” proved just how close we are to the real world powers being able to completely control and/or delete any individual, group, or organization they want; some through direct threat, some through digital asset/identity deletion, character assassination, etc.
They made MOST of humanity stand exactly where they wanted you to stand, wear what they wanted you to wear, get jabbed on their schedule and brag to your friends and family about how compliant you are so you don’t get turned in. Else you can’t travel, might not be able to access your funds, or even get arrested.
Once the voices of media from all political bents, and around the entire world, were literally reading from the same script, we should have known how fucked we are. But we played along, and continue to do so, and now they are terribly close to finalizing their plan and there won’t be any way back from it.

Well to be fair we haven't watched the documentary yet to make a conclusion about what he does and doesn't know. Secondly, he mentions he has a degree in economics in the trailer.

Brother, a degree in economics is just a signal that you've more likely than not been the recipient of Keynesian brainwashing. Its not a signal of actual knowledge on this topic unfortunately. I've listened to enough of this guy speak on the topic to come to my conclusion, not the first I've heard of him.
Our education system has little interest in anyone understanding how money and the monetary system has historically worked, only in ensuring they think the current system is the only and best way. It would be exceptional if any college was regularly teaching Mises, Rothbard, Hayek, etc.
