As a Kenyan, representing myself and nobody else. First thanks for the mention. Our major tax protests were in August where some of us managed to storm parliament forcing the government to revoke the proposed finance bill (how the government plans to use cash). It died down after continuous (alleged) government abductions and many other factors. But we always have protests for various reasons. I didn't even know about the law about flags. Flags are sold freely on the side of the road and we wave them freely in public during crusades and events. The flag is basically everywhere especially in the capital city Nairobi. Other than that we have many other issues. Mostly government caused. Our current issue has to have with a new national health insurance. I am open to come up and talk about our wonderful country.

Hey Andrew, with such a young population, do you see a lot of representation of younger people in government? Or is it mostly full of career politicians? Do you see younger people that are interested in going into politics to try to make a change or is that uncommon?

[@waynemwangi4586]

@@FaliggetFTWthere has been a rise of younger people joining and succeeding in politics but that’s because they can relate to the youth more. But the really top positions are still held by old men clutching for power. It’s sad, they don’t care about the country at all. It’s always about one last bid to leave some sort of legacy. So they start massive billion dollar projects that that are left hanging but they get to say “I did that”

The idea of cracking down on slang is such a bad idea to me. Sure it's annoying, but young people playing around with language is how speech and culture evolve. A good example of this is the word "OK." A tongue in cheek meme from hundreds of years ago that stands for "Oll Korect" is now a staple of the English language.

As an Argie, a thing about Milei is that, even tho his approval seems relatively low at 40%, there are 2 caveats to it. 1- He won the elections by making an alliance with another big party, with lots of it's voters not really being for or against him. 2- Every other political contender has an even lower approval rating, effectively leaving Milei a lot of leeway. There's no one outside his party that can even come close to challenging him. Overall, even with all the downsides of his methods, he's doing much better than anybody expected, and things are looking bright for once.

Canadian here, early 2000s almost 70% of all Canadians would’ve said immigration is needed to build the economy that it is a good thing. Now it’s down into the low 20%. Why is this and why did we see such an increase in immigration over last last couple of years? Canada is facing an age crisis, in the 1970s there was 7 workers for 1 retired person. By 2032 it is estimated there will be 2 workers per 1 retired person. So Trudeau acted how Canada has always operated since the 1800s, relied on immigration BUT this time did not use the merit system we Canadians have in place. A mass flood of people entered the country without housing, not following the system if they can benefit Canada, so it ultimately failed. The plan Trudeau was trying to do was correct, but was executed poorly. I’ve never seen Canada like this how much people are freely ripping on immigrants, not understanding that is how Canada was built in the first place. It is not their fault it is the governments fault for doing such poor planning to combat the age crisis.

As a progressive hippy liberal cuck raised in BC, I moved to Toronto last year and only now can I see why people are pissed about immigrants. It's hard to ignore that everywhere you go is dominated by immigrants buying or renting houses, working jobs on temp. student visas (while not actually attending school) while citizens are struggling to get by, they're adding even more traffic to a congested city, and often times (as much as I hate that I feel this way) acting like assholes, with very little consideration for those around them.

the beauty of the chinese language is that: almost everything can be replaced with everything, and it still sounds fine. and IYKYK. It's weirdly the ultimate nightmare language to control, because there is no limit on how many permutations there are, and the slang is increasingly just literal acronyms of pingyin, which imo is stupid but useful. I'm not sure how much the crackdown will work. The internet platforms always tries every now and then to have a new censored word, but 河蟹 river crab has been around for a long time. This isn't a new reaction, it's one people are very used to and will soon find ways around.

Yes and it's all puns. I'm bilingual, I've never seen the shrimp moss thing in the wild, but I immediately understand why it means what it means. I don't need someone to explain it like "brat" or "skibidi toilet (which I still dont' get btw)". But then Chinese censorhip doesn't rely on this, and the whole initiative is more about bureaucrats creating stuff for themselves to ask for a budget. We've already completed all the necessary infrastructure/mechanisms to achieve total censorship and control of public opinion, the discontent/dissent won't matter. The Chinese Communist Party has unshakeable control for the forseeable future.

The biggest problem with housing in Canada is that it's 100% a municipal issue, but the only people who reliably vote in municipal elections are homeowners. People who rent generally don't vote in municipal elections all that often. So what winds up happening is that the politicians who get elected know that they're elected to keep housing costs as high as possible, so they shoot down as many housing proposals as possible, focusing particularly on anything "low cost", so all that gets built are McMansions and gentrification projects, which do the literal opposite of lowering housing prices. Of course, most people who don't own a home don't understand this, so they just go "oh, it's all these foreign students and temporary workers coming into the country who are buying up all the houses", completely ignoring the fact that none of them have any chance of affording a home, and in fact, are temporarily legally prohibited from buying one anyway (there's a moratorium on foreign buyers of real estate currently).

[@loading2660]

Okay I think the term productivity is being confused with output. Higher productivity means that in a set time more output is made. However, because the less productive group is working longer, the output is still greater for the 5 day work week. To do the maths: In order for the 4 day work week to produce the same output as the 5 day work week you would need to be 25% more productive (4x1.25 = 5) One problem with the report is that a few companies dropped out which would imply that the result for them was negative as they didn't want to continue with the 4 day work week. Also, work structures changed as many of the companies had shorter meetings, which could be argued as a by product of a shorter work week, but is also something that could be implemented in a 5 day work week to increase productivity. I may have misunderstood what they mean by productivity as it isn't clearly described anywhere that I have looked and the productivity I have defined is harder to measure so might not be the metric they are defining.

18:00 A lot of international people are repeating this nonsense. Poverty did not grew by Mileis cutting the deficit. Argentina already was in stagflation since 2011, and last year we had a recession with record inflation, the poverty rose to 50% during november-december due to inflation+depreciation of the currency, not because of milei cutting the budget. In fact, povert is already below those levels precisely because he managed to slow down inflation+keep the dollar in check. That's also why he's still popular, it's not because "he's charismatic" it's because everyone here knows the previous economic model was collapsing, so nothing can actually be blamed on the guy that reduced inflation from 20% a month to 2.9% a month in just 11 months. We already estimate that next year inflation is gonna be around 25-30% a year, which might sound like a lot to foreigners, but Milei took power in a year with 211% a year. In his first year he reduced it by half. And if that prognosis is fullfilled, he would've reduced it by another half in his second year. Those numbers are the source of his popular support.

Every time I see a global economy video, I'm more and more happy about the fact that I'm Uruguayan. I mean for fuck's sake. My estrogen is covered by public health. I'm looking for jobs in a small town in the middle of nowhere and have *options*. The air is clean, the cities walkable, and when they're not, they have good public transport. Hopefully it'll stay like this for a while.

[@moth.monster]

Okay but how do i get a visa there? lol jk i know you're not the person who controls that

The Chinese slang crackdowns are such an obsession to me… think about any language control in any app. If you can express yourself at all then stand-ins will be made. There really is no way to end it without just deleting user interaction entirely. Think language filter -> slang, slang -> chat removal, chat removal -> ping spam, ping limit -> ping then run in place/sabotage team, feed bans -> inaction/walking away IRL… it never ends. Anyone got a favorite example out there?

Facts on the ground, lil bro

[@maesde]

To be clear, Javier Milei is the most popular polititian in Argentina, by far. Everyone, even the opposition, agrees strong measures were needed - though it was only ever going to be implemented by him.

[@ShogunSRT]

24:35 As someone who dropships. People don't realize how many American brands are just using chinese products and providing better marketing because thats just easier. You're essentially a marketing firm generating business level numbers that can be split amongst a small team instead of a bunch of shareholders - in 20 years this type of arbitrage on a large enough scale will cause a wealth transfer from boomers to TEENAGERS who abused geopological arbitrage (no I dont have a course) Edit; with dropshipping you have the price of temu, but can make a website that has trust like amazon. And upcharge for that security benefit that its "an american website"

[@bennycarter5249]

[@ShogunSRT]

[@ianshih3428]

Glad I’m early for marketing Monday! Love the videos atrioc

[@giantWario]

It's not really Milei's charisma that's doing it, it's the fact that a lot of Argentinians realize that the entire frigging country wasn't just heading toward a crash or recession but just a total economic collapse and that the previous administrations, which Milei had nothing to do with, are the ones who put them in this mess. What Milei is doing is having adverse effects sure but it's also totally necessary. It's like the side effects of chemotherapy which, don't get me wrong, can be really brutal but they're still better than just letting cancer kill you.

[@mylesiswhite4122]

Your brain is soup if you believe Milei can improve the Argentine economy

[@Cyrube]

As European youtube frog I greatly appreciate a global episode. I hope there's a change for this to become recurring. Lets say once a month anything besides U.S focus. Anything major going on globally works.

[@Pårchmēntôs]

18:42 we have seen it before. Thatcher did it to the UK in the 80s and Reagan did it here. Milei has stated that he’s her biggest fan so it’s not surprising that he’s copying her (and Reagan’s) model. Everything turned out great for the US and UK so I’m sure Argentina will be fine. 🙄

[@bbking006]

10:00 Pumping a million immigrants A YEAR into a country with a relatively low population was absolute madness. Canada will literally never be the same and those stats don’t account for those that came in not following the legal route.

[@kv4648]

He mentioned it in another livestream but it's hard to illegally migrate to Canada

[@anush_agrawal]

Another problem is skill gap. Canada doen't have enough skilled workers. Canada is stuck as immigration while solving this problem also caused other problems in the economy.

[@alohaharris2]

The problem is millions have legally immigrated here using backdoor dogshit systems​ and many choose to illegally stay past their departure dates. @@kv4648

[@W0Ndr3y]

So many things to say about this video. But I will sum it with one word: magnificent

[@joggle4321]

As a German, I gotta say, that productivity test was just that, a test. Every upper management agreed, this will not work in a real life situation. The productivity boost that comes from the people being happy having "a day off" wears off in a couple of weeks and is gone forever.

[@kenabaloyan8798]

Yeah, it's a single use candy. Then it becomes the norm. And if you take it away, people are pissed.

[@joggle4321]

@kenabaloyan8798 Exactly.

[@dianaburn2474]

I'm not so sure that the boost would be "gone forever." Weakened, yes, I'll agree on that much, but in the real life, long term context, it would likely still have tons of benefits. Such as less burn out, better for mental health (namely depression), less strain on the physical body (if one works a strenuous job), benefits for family and social life (a big one)... Just to name a few. But, properly gauging this in the long term systematically is difficult, and would require longer periods anyway. But... Atroic brings up a good point. In that the reduction in hours, for most people, would translate to lower total wages. Without intervention, businesses will keep the 5th day savings for themselves, which may increase overall inequality in the country. And, push people to take on more work (legal or not) to make ends meet... thus, eliminating the benefits from a 4 day work week. Basically, the 4 day week has possible benefits, but there would also have to be significant interventions at the governmental level to make this work. Dramatic system wide changes. Which I don't see happening.

[@nooborous]

Such a good episode, should do more of these

[@Michael-n7n2i]

I feel like ignoring the rising global tensions re: Israel / Gaza (and the horrific things occurring in Lebanon) is a bit of a missed opportunity in a video like this

[@weirdisspeltweird]

Yeah hes definitely been avoiding that topic, a lot more controversial in USA no matter what you say. Wish he'd take a stance but I understand

[@anush_agrawal]

He talks about economics and business most of the time so not really suprised he would not cover political issues.

[@weirdisspeltweird]

@@anush_agrawal he does mention the Ukraine war but more from the business perspective. He could do the same for Gaza but avoids it

[@cathybaraaa]

I 100% see ur point, but taking an israel bad stance can sometimes randomly get you banned on twitch. Even today they made 'zionist' a slur on hateful content policy.

[@weirdisspeltweird]

@cathybaraaa yeah I understand from that perspective, and Atrioc probably doesnt feel like its worth the risk

[@CoolDeathLight]

Low-key Atrioc's youtube game is on top, just looked at the number and it's insane, keep it up big A

[@lol_vevo]

Actually, poverty is already down to pre-Milei levels in Argentina. It's not much, since Argentina was fucked before he was elected, but the fact the country is already starting to reap the benefits from the austerity shock is amazing. Inflation is down 90%, economic activity is coming back, credit is skyrocketing, investments both national and international are growing, etc.

[@Zoulstorm]

Do you have any sources for that?

[@lol_vevo]

@@Zoulstorm You can use INDEC to see the downtrend during the first semester of 2024 and for everything past that you can either use private consultant's reports or wait till next year for the official INDEC report. And all of this is true even without taking into account the previous administration's data manipulation. If you factor in that then the decline in poverty is even bigger.

[@ruger4346]

The presentation skills are unreal

[@mtn_ntm]

A concern about Milei and how you are covering it: Hello Atrioc!! Hope you're having a great day I write this bc i know you are a guy interested in the subject and won't take it as an attack :))) I've been reading and investigating about argentinian politics and economics, and what Milei is doing right now is quite analogous to what Menem (ex argentinian president) did in the 90's, that at one point had the argentian peso be 1 to 1 with the US dollar, but ultimately led to one of Argentina's (and neighbouring countries of the Mercosur) worst crisis in 2001. If i were you, i would read about him, i think you'll find concerning the similarities and fascinating the differences. Maybe I'm wrong about this take, but hope you get to read it and comment about it!! :)

[@anush_agrawal]

Many have compared milei with him. And that is why people are so critical of him as that guy has controversial legacy. People fear that history would repeat.
