Jen Briney Vroom Vroom Veer Stories
- The outgoing Congress passed 10,000 pages of laws as they were walking out the door; Jen has to read that!
- Jen and I meet at a Podcast movement in 2014 in Dallas TX, we stayed at cheap hotel next door to the host hotel
- Jen gets a free ticket to Podcast Movement because she does the orientation for newbies; she gets to be the camp counselor for all the freshmen
- Jen just started the “travel full time” lifestyle; they are giving away all of the IKEA furniture and dumping the expensive rent since they were hardly there anyway
- 2008 when President Obama was elected Jen cried happy tears of joy; then the next 8 years were a constant disappointment
- NAFTA was renamed and changed on 1 Jan 2021–nobody heard about it on the news
- NGOs and what those guys are up to?–funded by the government; but not government, government surrogates that promote the World Trade System
- Qanon is an Arg, what's an ARG?
- Biden is a little bit better than Trump; At least Biden will work on the environment and the climate
- Obama was trying to oust the leadership in Syria; Hillary Clinton promised to establish a no fly zone in Syria; Syria invited Russia to help them fight the U.S.–so Trump kinda stopped World War 3…no big deal
- What is China doing? They are in the WTS but they don't follow the rules; The World Trade System rules say that multinational corporations should be allowed to profit as much as possible without “local interference”
- China basically controls lots of industries with their government; it's a hybrid model where they are in the market economy; but the companies are state controlled
- The Chinese play a long game; 100-year plan long game; oh yeah need some need roads? Bridges? High Speed Rail System? We will give you those; all we want is control of this port for 99 years–DEAL!
- Another game that China plays is they loan a country money; once they are in debt to the point that they can never pay back; they use that leverage to get the country to play ball
- What can we do about the environment? We can draw down the legacy load of carbon in the atmosphere
- Social media is using the engagement model to make money and is causing real damage to humans; Humane Technology wants to fix that
