n't fly by instruments. And the total amount of processing you probably have to add to a flight to make it fully AI is probably the size of your phone, right? There's no weight added. The airplane doesn't have any extra burden. It would just be smarter. So there is no way that people are going to be learning to fly the way they do now if there are even human pilots at all. So everything in aviati…

Well let's see. You Biden doing more racist stuff. So see how quickly you can determine how racist this is, right? There's nothing that sounds racist but see how quickly you can identify it because now you're tuned to it. All right there's a story that says the Biden administration wants to help hundreds of thousands of households to realize their dream of home ownership. So they're going to increase the supply of affordable homes by essentially paying people money so they can afford to buy a home. So the government is going to help people buy affordable homes. All people. Do you think, what kind of people does that mean? Like all citizens, right? Like every kind of citizen if you don't have enough money. No, no. I didn't even have to read the article and I disavowed it for being racist in public and said I didn't read it. I did. That was embarrassing to me to disavow it for being racist without seeing anything racist about it because I didn't even read the details. No, because later after I posted that it was racist I looked at it and of course it is. Of course it is. That it's primarily to increase home ownership among groups that traditionally don't have as much home ownership. What does that mean? Not white men basically. Yeah it's just a purely overtly obviously unambiguously racist use of my tax money.
And the argument is that white people had assets from their past that they're building on so it's way easier to own a home if you come from parents who also owned a home etc. Well my parents owned a home but they didn't give any of that to me. In fact they died with more of my money in their estate than they had of their own money I think. So why do I have to pay for somebody brown to buy a house with my money when I got no benefits from it whatsoever? I had no benefits from assets. But anyway. So super racist. We'll talk about all the things you're waiting for in a moment.
Here's a lesson on how not to do math in public. So Ian Bremmer posts on a list of all the things that are going right in the economy and then he made this mistake which I caution you not to make. Never use this sentence about your statements on social media unless you're really sure you're right. So he shows a graph that shows a whole bunch of things that are going well in the country that people don't know are going well on economics. And then he says, just going to leave this here. Now just going to leave this here is a strong statement that says this is so right that you can't even argue it. And by the way I don't even have to explain to you why this is so right. It's so obviously clearly unambiguously right. I'm just going to leave this right here and just walk away. I rest my case.
Now again I say you've got to make sure that you're right when you do that one. So Fox News business host Charles Payne did the work for me because I would have done it but he did the work for me. And he says I'm sick of media mocking folks about their struggles, meaning about their economic situation. One year parameter is a trap and disingenuous. Yes there it is. He looked at a one-year period in which things are going well because things were going so poorly before that. It's the classic way to mislead the public. The classic way to mislead the public is to give them a cherry-picked set of things. So that's the first problem. So I'm sorry Ian, they left out, is there a gigantic debt problem that's going to destroy the country like the most important thing about the economy? Yeah. Or can you afford food, gas and groceries as well as you could? I mean the basic questions you should have been asking were not included in his little list that he just said he's just going to leave here.
But to his credit Charles Payne would have none of that and quickly noticed it was a one-year period which is no way to look at anything and that it leaves out

some categories of course. Yeah. And then Charles Payne after dunking on Ian Bremmer finishes with, I'm just going to leave it here. So let me say this. If you don't follow Ian Bremmer you should because on geopolitical stuff, very good. Very good on geopolitical stuff. A good follow. However, and this is not an insult, this is not an insult. Charles Payne is a business guy, right? So his backgro…
