y in general, everything else in your life looks better. How many of you didn't know that? Was there anybody who thought, you know, if I were depressed but I got a better job, I'll bet that would cheer me up? No, doesn't work that way. If you're happy, then even your crap job seems pretty good to you. And if you're unhappy, it doesn't matter how good your job is. You're still going to be unhappy.…
← Previous segment →he wastewater project that would tell us that we live in a simulation. Let's see. The wastewater is being explained by Dr. Whizzing. So Dr. Whizzing can tell you about the wastewater. Apparently Dr. Pooping was not available. He's the number two. Yep, Dr. Whizzing for wastewater. Okay, okay. All right, all right. Judge me. You can judge me on that one.
This you knew was coming. Next Defense is reporting that Maxar Intelligence, they've developed a vision-based software that can make GPS unnecessary for your drone. So in other words, if your drone gets jammed and it can't see the GPS signal, it doesn't care because Maxar Intelligence has these databases that are really detailed. They've got 3D terrain data for 34 million square miles. So it can just switch to, or maybe it doesn't even need GPS, which means that there's practically no defense against drones now. If your drone can't be jammed, if you can't jam the GPS, that seems like a problem.
So yes, as Naval Ravikant said recently, it's really inevitable that all warfare will be drones because why would you need anything else? It's all going to be drones.
Well, if you haven't yet seen Ezra Klein on Jon Stewart's podcast, oh, you have to see this. I so recommend this. So look for the clips. If you just see the clips, you'll see everything you need to see. But Ezra Klein is a co-author of the book "Abundance," and he's doing, you know, I have to say my first impression was, hey, you're just writing a book that says Democrats should act more like Republicans if they want to win anything. So I wasn't sure it was adding much to the world. But now I think it is. So I'm going to switch to full compliment to Ezra Klein and I guess Derek Thompson, the two co-authors.
So the thing that was amazing is that, you know, you've heard Ezra Klein talk about how the Democrats are good at funding impressive things, but then for reasons that I didn't quite understand, nothing got done. So there was the funding of the high-speed rail in California that didn't get done. There was the funding of the rural broadband that didn't get done. There was the funding of the nationwide charging stations that didn't get done. All good ideas in theory, but all they could do is give them money and not get anything done.
And if you wonder why it is that nothing gets done, you just have to hear Ezra Klein go through the 14 steps it would have taken to approve just the project for the car charging stations. Oh my God. I'm not going to run through the 14 because it's pretty pedantic, but you have to watch Jon Stewart for the first time understanding how completely doomed the Democrat way of work is, because the regulations are mostly, I'm thinking, mostly Democrat-created. And if you looked at any one of them individually, you'd probably say to yourself, all right, well, I could see why you'd want this group to review it, or I could see why you'd want to run it through this group for approval. But once you get to 14 different steps and everybody's got to review it and analyze it

and they've got time for comment, it becomes literally impossible. So it's not just that it didn't happen. It's that the system was impossible. So anybody who tried to apply to be one of the people who executed on these funded projects couldn't get through it. It would take you the rest of your life if you got through it at all. So there is no way to actually execute on these well-meaning Democra…
