As an American and longtime viewer of the channel I’ll say I enjoyed this video. Ignore any of the negative comments, I’m a “conservative” American and I believe everyone has the god given right to free speech including outside of the USA. I often find myself wondering about KZbinrs I watch and their political views. I enjoy watching your bow videos and the videos that are a mix of vlog and archery like this one. Keep it up sir 👍🏼

Expressing advice/opinions while popping a few in the shed/patio? is a great, healthy way to do a KZbin spiel. Suggest the new free Rode Capture video software with dual camera picture-in-picture on a hefty iPad (M1/2/4 or a new iPad Minni) on a tripod and flick between the target and your self as your speak while keeping 'both' in view of the audience ... very cool. Keep going ... good stuff.

I don't know if you're left or right, but one thing you get wrong is that nothing is free. "Free" healthcare, "Free" education is paid through your taxes. If you want no-cost point of sale social programs, then fine. However, please don't call it "free". If the government pays for it, that's your money.

I can guarantee you that Australians have a MUCH higher quality of life as a whole compared to Americans.

@@Fechual what does that have to do with your fellow countrymen being taxed to pay for it? My contention is with the idea that because the government subsidizes it, that now it's considered "free". That's not how that works. As for the socioeconomic situation of our countries, there's a lot more that goes into it than the amount of taxes we pay and to what it is allocated (population, military expenditure, net contributors vr net drains, ethnic composition, government corruption, etc).

I'd like to build an EV based on a kit car as I'm not a fan of all the electronics and sensors in most EV's as that is the weakness of them, I'd also use sodium batteries partly because they're non-flammable and therefore safer. I'm in UK and I'd have voted for Trump as well even though the wife hates him as does most of UK for some reason. You also have several Kit Car manufacturers in Australia so you could get one of those and help promote the Aus car industry!

I hate to say this, and it's with all due respect, but you simply have no idea what you're talking about - you are totally uniformed in the facts of this situation. Just slightly more than half of the American electorate also has no idea of the scale of the disaster they just foisted upon themselves and the rest of the world. It's completely incomprehensible at this point in time. There's no other way to put it. I would definitely put no eggs in the Trump basket if I were you. But it's your money and your business so, by all means, have it. It is true, tho, that nobody else who has gotten involved with DJT has survived either, so I wouldn't expect you to come out ahead any more than they did. But then again, nobody really knows what's going to happen. The only thing we do know for sure is that Jan 20th onward isn't going to be boring.

We already had the opportunity to see what a DJT term in office looks like. After that, we had 4 years to see what the Dems had to offer. It wasn't a hard choice to make. Up until COVID, things were going well. Harris was a terrible candidate and they ran her because they would have to automatically lose access to Biden's war chest along with losing a few states because the deadlines to change the ballots had passed. Walz was a disaster. So enjoy the next 4 years. You can tag along with us if you like.

Tim Walz, who could have potentially been in charge of the US economy, has no businesses, no investments, no stocks or bonds, no indexed funds, and no real estate property (sold his house below asking price when he moved into the governor's mansion). He doesn't even have a fund set up for his special needs son. He has no skin in the game and apparently has the economic knowledge of a child. His wife said she liked the smell of Minnesota businesses burning down during the George Floyd riots. He proudly said that he was the poorest VP candidate in US history (thinking that would be appealing to the electorate) and after the election Walz was shocked that middle-class Americans voted for billionaire Trump rather than himself.

Ethics like lower inflation, stop wasteful deficit spending on defense which increases inflation, stop illegal workers from getting paid slave wages that hurt the lower class, like protecting free speech. The ethics of caring for lower class people is why he won the popular vote. Middle class and lower class are being squeezed to death by inflation and democrats just want to print more money because they look at the stock market as the barometer of economic health. The people voted for Trump won because we all care about the ones struggling in the country.
