A wonderful segment. I'm glad that Mike talked about his childhood and youth experiences as a gay person. In the late eighties and early nineties I worked in West Hollywood LA at a pharmacy and a vitamin shop, and most of our customers were belonged to the LBGTQ community. I've seen many of our clients struggling against homophobia in the time of AIDS epidemic. Also I saw how the courageous members of these communities fought for their rights to live as first class citizens. Kudos to you guys. We still need to hear those kind of stories. And Mike is a good storyteller.

Norms are constructs and can be oppressive. Let’s strive to abandon these contracts and be free! Great discussion and guest!

I grew tired of the social issue garbage filled channels a long time ago. The channels that contain commentary on issues that serve as a distraction to what the elites are always looking for which is people's time and assets. I highly appreciate commentary on HR on issues having to do with monetary policies but don't give a damn about the social issue commentary whatsoever. With that being said the channel I highly recommend for everyone to check out is The Maverick of Wallstreet on YT, the market analysis is very good and his insights into conditions of the world of finance are well explained and presented with substantive evidence that affect people's portfolios. I have benefited well from this show and other YT commentary shows in the macro perspective about politics and some economic policy. But in terms of saving myself from having my portfolio and retirement get wiped out it's been channels like The Maverick of Wallstreet that have saved me tens of thousands of dollars and for that I choose to simp a bit. And no, that channel is not one of the usual disgusting pumpers of cryptos and meme stocks, the channel is bear market insight into the rigged world of finance as it develops daily with intuitive market analysis at the end of the videos. The videos are 45 minutes to an hr long because they have to be, markets are messy. Anyone who reads this please check out the channel. I will continue to post this recommendation in future videos here since I am a paying subscriber and feel it's my right to spread information that I feel helps the wider community and also because I'd like to pass on those profits and savings into media I believe in like this podcast.
