In Australia we have jury duty. I won’t ever be called because I used to work in insurance, it’s thought you may have a conflict of interest if you have worked insurance. We also used to have to pledge our allegiance to the queen at school when I was a kid. There is an unofficial culture of tipping. If they give me good service I tip if they don’t then I won’t. We have to pay to go to University. When you graduate You repay a small amount each time you are paid, once you start earning over a certain amount.

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.😊

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

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.

OMG! The pharmaceutical companies advertising (like TIPPING) has gotten WAY, WAY out of hand! Please go back to the days when drug companies and lawyers (who would have you sue someone or something over the littliest of things) couldn't advertise direct to consumer. Please!!!

I live in CA, I haven't received a summons for jury duty for 14 years, so far, because I finally wrote them saying that due to my utter disdain for both criminals and the corrupt American judicial system, I couldn't see myself being able to be non bias.

I contemplated Omaha for the same reason. The exact geographic center is between Coffeville Kansas and Arkansas City Kansas just across the border from Oklahoma in nowhere Kansas. Thus I went with Wichita Kansas as the new capital. There's a farm not far from where I mentioned earlier, nowhere Kansas, that has been raided by every federal agency. Apparently, in the early days of google maps, it was what was marked as U.S.A. and any internet crime, scam, etc, that was listed as originating in the U.S.A. pinned that farm. There's a KZbin video about it. It's kinda crazy really

Keep the capital where it is. Building a new one will result in more taxes, larger bureaucratic institutions, which results in more regulations. And of course, knowing politicians, more laws.
@pdxcalibur5 ай бұрын
I agree. It would be convenient to have the capital in the center, but not convenient to move it. Besides, the District of Columbia is rich in history and a fun place to visit,

I don't disagree with you, although, if the Capitol was in the middle of nowhere, maybe less people would want to be career politicians. HIgher turnover would be a welcome thing.

Due to rising ocean levels, Washington DC is going to flood. For safety, we need to move our capital, somewhere with a higher elevation - like Denver, Colorado.

In 1971 I went on a package deal tour of nine countries in Europe, and EVERYONE had their hand out for a tip. Some of that was because some jobs were not paid, and the worker depended on tips for their total income.

If United States were going to change it's Capitol it could be moved to Lincoln Nebraska. It could be made into a Federal District and is in the center of the nation. It also has a presidential name. Washington could be retained as a designated historical capitol to promote tourism. Everyone could visit the Congressional buildings, Supreme Court and White House.
