0:00.0	Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.
0:07.0	Welcome everybody to Part 1 of this special episode of Into the Impossible,
0:13.8	featuring a conversation between Brian Heating and James Altuture.
0:20.6	So Brian, I just heard this interesting article has nothing to do with physics, but I just read it so I want to tell you and Jay about it.
0:27.5	It's an article someone sent me about real estate which basically says Black Rock is buying every house they can find in the country
0:35.0	and paying 20 to 50% more than the asking price
0:39.0	for as many houses as they can.

1:30.0	out of buying a home because they're overpaying 20 to 30 percent on every home.
1:34.4	So on the one hand they're doing it their job, making a good investments by buying every
1:38.6	house they can find and they think that's a good investment.
1:40.9	But on the other hand, are they using taxpayer money to screw all the taxpayers
