There's a better way to do this, let me show you a better way, you don't have to be another face in the crowd.

Well hey folks, we are live welcome to episode 3345. I promise you fire and brimstone today, not just fire.

It's not a motivational show, but I do hope it provides some level of motivation.

We're going to talk today about the current geopolitical and economic system and why I think it spells really bad times ahead,

though I don't claim to know exactly what it will be like.

Now there's some skullbuck chatter here in the live feed asking about the imagery today and the titles.

And the de facto decision here is AI makes the images and I write the titles.

In this case I wrote the title 100%. Sometimes I actually do use AI to reflect some ideas back at me and use it more like a discussion tool to come up with cool titles.

I come up with a title and go, not so in love with that. Hey, give me some other examples and then maybe modify one.

The imagery today though, if you're on audio only and you're just using an app to listen, you know, and you're not coming to the website at all is Joe Biden on the top of the White House playing the fiddle while DC burns.

And of course the title is our leaders fiddle as the empire burns and what I think you might come away with today from this episode is an idea that whatever you do, you need to do it faster, better and more efficient.

So I had a lot of discussion recently with folks that were here, some people that were here at my house for the 15 year anniversary party last week.

And we talked about AI some and I don't remember. I think it was John, John Pugliano who asked me if I was paying for AI and I do have the premium version of chat GPT and the premium version of mid-journey and mid-journey is what I used to do the artwork and chat GPT is what I use for a lot of other things.

And the way I framed it is, so for $40, I hired a copywriter, a proofreader, a research team, a team to bounce high deals off of and a graphic artist.

And the weak link in it for $40 is the graphic artist because I got to tell the graphic artist to reduce shit like six times, sometimes 10 times, sometimes 20 times to get what I'm actually asking for.

This one, if you haven't seen it yet, come take a look at it, abiding on the rooftop. This was one of those like 20 time things. I also said, that's like higher than any graphic artist.

Just even when you're standing right there, you're like, no, move the individual to the left. I want them on the rule of thirds and they're like, okay, and then they don't do it.

So totally not really with the topic on that intro, but it is because a lot of you are going to come away from this going, gee, what do I do about my cash?

Well, you know, you have all the options. We always talk about what is Bitcoin, gold, silver, equities, real estate.

But in the end, you're also going to need a lot more cash. You're going to need a lot more income.

People think that when inflation really hurts, money's bad, though you need more money. Unless we're talking YMAR, and that's not where I see this going.

So maybe that is a good primer. It certainly wasn't the intro that I had planned. Before we dig into the fire and the brimstone, and we're going to be talking about, yes, economics a lot today, but lead story is going to be about what's going on in Ukraine.
