rybody else. And they would just force people to do it. So he was one of the biggest forces for realistic diversity in entertainment at least and also the world. So he basically went to the mat against discrimination. But there was another story that I hadn't heard until I watched this. So apparently at the time that Sinatra had moved to Palm Springs I think it was Palm Springs and other rich peo…

And the only other point I could think would be to scare China or Russia into thinking we have some technology that they don't know about. Maybe. I mean that's another plausible explanation. But it feels like a test to see if we're ready to believe literally anything. You would have to get us to Kennedy levels of trust in the system before you can listen to the system say oh no problem it was one bullet. It was a magic bullet but it was just one. Yeah because remember the public believes the magic bullet for most of my life. They believe there was a magic bullet that just like went through and still do. Yeah yeah I don't know how many bullets there were but maybe we'll never know.
So that's what scares me. And that's the reason the study says all these unethical tendencies according to the psychologist is why the rich can succeed in life but fail in love. So the rich fail in love because they're not trusted. That's not why the rich fail in love. Would anybody like me to explain to them why the rich fail in love? There's anybody who doesn't know the obvious answer? That because we can afford it. We can afford it. Why is this a mystery? Rich people have the most options so you have the most temptation. And the let's say the wife if you take a classic situation with a richer guy and marries somebody, a woman who marries a rich guy doesn't have to put up with any because they're going to get enough money even with a prenup even with a pre-nup there's going to be some bag of money involved. So all you do is change the financial incentives and you would get this result. And this psychologist thinks it has something to do with trust. Has nothing to do with trust. It has to do with follow the money. Follow the money works 100 percent of the time. And the money suggests that getting married to a rich guy and then divorcing the rich guy is a really good deal because then you could have money plus a guy you like better. Why wouldn't everybody do it? I don't know how any rich people stay married. To me it would be a miracle if anybody ever stayed married to a rich person. Yeah because the money suggests that you shouldn't. So they don't. It's as simple as that.
All right. The Ukrainians have, I didn't know this but they've developed a substantial weapons manufacturing capacity. Didn't see that coming. But apparently the Ukrainians can make a lot of weapons now locally. Big ones. We're talking about artillery. Now they're made out of plastic and wood and they don't fire any shells. They're used for decoys. So Ukraine has this massive decoy military and industrial process where they're making decoys to use up the Russian artillery. So that they're all happy about their fake radars and stuff. Yeah so they just make it out of wood and they spray paint it and they wait for the Russians to destroy it.
Now on one hand I think this is awesome. Pretty good strategy. I'm sure it works. Yeah it's using up their weapons. On the other side on the other hand I don't know if I would bet on the group that needed to make wooden weapons. I'm just gonna say if there's any way to determine who's winning and who's losing a war I would look to the one that had to make weapons out of cardboard. Right? If one side is making weapons out of c
