do Republicans think about that?" And I thought, "Yeah, is there no reference to a law professor in the New York Times article where the law professor would say, 'Oh, he could totally use the autopen. It's no problem.' or the law professor would say, 'Oh, no. If there's no paper trail they specifically approved it. That can't stand.'" So wouldn't you expect that if they had been a Republican, they…
← Previous segment →ow Zuby. You've seen him on X, you've seen him on podcasts, and he published on X the median age by country. Now for those of you who are not nerds, median doesn't mean average. It means that half of the people are above that and half of the people are below it. So in Monaco, the median age is 57. Half of all the people in Monaco are older than 57. That's pretty old. But you have to have a lot of money to live in Monaco. So that's probably why. Japan is 50. That's the median age in Japan is 50. That's way up there. If you get all the way down to China and the USA, we're very similar. China the median age is 40 and the USA is 39. If you took away illegal immigration, I believe our median age would probably jump up pretty high, but I don't know about that for sure. But then you keep going down the list. India the median age is 30. Just think about that. In Japan the median age is 50 and in India it's 30. In Mexico it's 31. So these are very young countries. But it gets younger. Philippines 26, Egypt 24, Ghana 21, Nigeria 18, and Niger 15. The country of Niger the median age is 15. In Japan it's 50. Wow.
Now obviously we assume that in Niger the people are having lots of babies. So it's probably if you look at the birth rate plus the age, you've got a pretty good way to predict who's going to be doing well in the future. If I had to guess, if I were an investor, and this is not investment advice, but if I were an investor, I'd say, hm, Japan looks like a problem. Germany is 47. That's kind of old. But then I would look at Mexico where the median age is 31 or India at 30 and I would tell myself hm there's going to be a lot of energy in those countries. So if you had a very long investment horizon I would favor the younger countries the ones that at least are developed a little bit. So don't invest based on my commentary. I'm not investment advice guy.
But ladies and gentlemen, that's all I have for today. Kind of a slow news day. I suspect there'll be lots more this afternoon. And I'm going to say some words privately to the beloved people on Locals. The rest of you, thanks for joining. I will see you tomorrow. Same time, same place. All right, Locals coming at you private in 30 seconds.
