Vivek is a literal scammer. Do not be fooled by him. He is not America first and is largely disowned by MAGA and is now hopping on podcasts to save face. He has nothing but contempt for the American worker. It should be a bi partisan issue to keep him out of politics at any level.

Vivek's point is 100% right. Elon's approach is good on paper, but the problems should be eliminated at the grass root level. Elon's approach will last only as long as Trump is the president. But, vivek's approach will change America forever. Not many will understand this. Vivek rocks...

Everyone says 'long form podcasts are the best' but whats the point of inviting someone and whenever they try and say something you interrupt them? A joke here and there is fine, but these guys r too much. This is why I never watch episodes with guests. I dnt mind when its just them and they interrupt each other but its so annoying when they interrupt their guests.

[@cristian90ish]

Failed Ohio gov run and then probably the most boring pod imaginable. At least he can get all his talking points out lol

[@BrandonIT1337]

As a conservative, I would absolutely vote for Vivek. I think it's way lower than 20% now of conservatives that have an issue with skin color, but we all have our own experiences. 51:00 - Man, I miss the Presidential Fitness tests each year. That and free plastic jump ropes for Jump Rope For Heart. 59:30 - The 'normal' 2-parent husband & wife family presented in Inside Out for example was so refreshing for example for kids to see. Same for the animated Spider-Man movies from Sony (Into the Spiderverse, etc.) 1:04:00 - Raising the minimum wage is NOT the answer - finding a way to both offer & incentivize people to get skills that will get them a NON-minimum wage job. For example, McDonald's & Chick-Fil-A offering tuition reimbursement & flexible hours for education.

[@aneeshakella121]

Genuine question about your last point, why should all minimum wage jobs be relegated to stop hold temporary positions people are meant to get out of? Especially when some of those min wage positions are considered “essential workers” as evidenced by the fact that they had to go in to work during the pandemic

[@ras-negusbloomfield8145]

I applaud you 👏 for all the time you took to highlight these key points of the pod. I really hope people were listening.

[@BrandonIT1337]

@@aneeshakella121 - Our economy (for 95% of us) is based on supply & demand for our skills. For this example let's take the skill to fix my car (mechanic) versus the skill to deliver a plate of food (waiter). Now, I can easily pick up my own food (evidenced by restaurants like Chipotle and and Five Guys). So the amount I (as a business owner) am willing to pay someone to move that food is very low. In fact, as evidenced by tip laws, it's actually even lower than minimum wage. On the other hand, I would require days of effort to fix my car. I would need to KZbin or other online resources various possible fixes and apply those fixes, assuming I did not need additional parts. It would take me (as an example) probably 3 days to fix my car. Therefore I am willing to pay a larger amount of money to someone to fix my car. We could do this for many jobs. At the end of the day, I am not willing to pay McDonald's $10 for a hamburger (where I live), so the amount they can pay workers has a maximum. People cannot expect to pay every McDonald's worker $25/hour or $52,000 yearly. Now we can expand this discussion as Vivek did about shareholders and executive compensation. I totally agree with him about the problems of institutional shareholders. I own stock in thousands of companies (thanks to my 401k & IRA) but I NEVER get to vote - because the fund votes all the shares as a block. It is a caveat to simplicity (1 voter vs potentially millions) but it does cause issues with only a small amount of "shareholders" actually ever cast a vote. But even if you took the entire McDonald's CEO salary of $19,000,000/year it would only amount to an extra $126/year per employee. There will always be a need for low-skill labor. Iny lifetime, there's been a cultural shift away from the "dignity of work". We need to get back to that. Everyone is important, but not everyone is equal in pay. I want to see everyone have the same opportunity (hence the availability of education programs for low-skilled fast food employees) but everyone is NOT and never will be equal. Some are just smarter than others and will be able to learn advanced skills that others are not capable of. I know this because, even as a highly skilled I.T. engineer now, I failed intermediate Calculus twice in college - lost my scholarship over it. I know my limits, because I hit them. I have a friend who is a math whiz, he got a B.S. in mathematics and went on to teach. But he couldn't change the oil in his car to save his life. We need to make education 'available' (not necessarily free) because every year there's a new set of employees coming up. They need opportunities. So we need to educate out all those that CAN do better and let the new people in, until they too can be educated. I know this is long, but it is a HUGE topic and my original statement was just the tip of the iceberg. Even this just barely covers it.

[@Dublr81]

outside of his color his religion is what many Conservatives have a big issue with.

[@BrandonIT1337]

@ - As an evangelical Christian, I don't have a problem with politicians having different beliefs than I because there's very few that do (see President Trump for instance). But yeah, I suppose I could see that. While Christians are making up a smaller amount of the overall conservative movement than ever before, they do still make up enough where the subset you described could be around 20%.

Like it seems competitive. Fucking chill. This is isnane. Maybe when its just yall that's fine. Maybe. But when you got a serious guest, let them talk. The difference between this show and the one with trump is wild. It almost seems insulting how little respect youre giving vivek. I totally understand yall are comedians and i get busting balls. And there were many moments of that and that is totally fine. But if you cant agree that theres handfulls of moments that went way too far with everyone at fault, yall got a real serious problem.
