The "What Are You Thinking About Right Now?" PIP

I finished one of Mitch's albums.  Mixed feelings about it- found it funny at times, other times it made my head spin/hurt with the lack of logic.  Maybe I'm just not a one-liner sort of guy or I need more "practice".  He's supposed to one of the greatest one-liner comics ever.

Maybe, but if she can load and clean my bong she'd be a keeper.

Tom Segura's 2018 Netflix comedy special is the worst special he's ever done.  2.5 out of 5

Ok, so first, screw this orange guy! I never like when a dude criticize my country (whether he's right or wrong, I don't care).

 

Then, the question of unemployment in Western countries is very tricky because there has only been two models in the past decades: unemployment or working poor. Both models are crappy, and there is a big force that tends to confine our countries in this conundrum: low wages in China, India and SE Asia, also low environmental standards.

 

China's wage: 1$ per hour. France's wage: > 12$ per hour. In a world with planes, boats, cars and the internet, that's not easy to bear.

 

There are a couple of ways to "try" to escape the conundrum (or at least limit the pressure):

a) being the country that has the main reserve currency (aka the USA) - so it's easier for the orange guy

b) being innovative

c) tariffs on countries with low social/environmental standards (but that's seen as "not nice" by the media, there can be backlashes and it means that some good will be more expensive for the consumers)

d) having a lot of natural ressources (that's Norway, with oil basically)

e) having a niche market or an unrivaled industry (that's Switzerland with banking)

Didn't expect you to write so much.

 

My take was she asked a very nuanced question and got a sarcastic Trump answer.
