It’s really heartbreaking to see how inflation and recession impact low-income families. The cost of living keeps rising, and many struggle just to meet basic needs, let alone save or invest. It’s a reminder of the importance of finding ways to create financial opportunities. You've helped me a lot sir Brian! Imagine i invested $50,000 and received $190,500 after 14 days
Some persons think inves'tin is all about buying stocks; I think going into the stock market without a good experience is a big risk, that's why I'm lucky to have seen someone like mr Brian C Nelson.
It's disheartening to think that our tax dollars are being spent on international interests instead of tackling our own nation's challenges, such as rising rents and stagnant wages, which are making it difficult for me to make ends meet. In fact, I've been forced to dip into my savings to keep up with the increasing costs. However, I'm determined to make the most of my situation and invest the remaining $100,000 in a non-retirement account to secure my financial future. Advice on how to grow this sum would be greatly appreciated, especially considering the current economic climate.
For now, avoid index funds, mutual funds, and individual stocks, and opt for a stable 5% fixed-income option. Set aside funds for when the market recovers significantly, and consider diversifying across asset classes, short-term low-risk investments, and consulting a financial advisor for personalized guidance to secure what you have left for your financial future.
I agree! A financial advisor will help guide and create a tailored plan for growth and stability. 45% of Americans do not invest in the financial market because of lack of guidance. Every year you don't invest, you are falling behind. I’m hitting numbers in the stock market I used to dream of… Going from $50k to $600k in my portfolio is surreal all thanks to insights from my financial advisor
Monica Mary Strigle my trusted CFA, is a prominent figure in finance. Just search the name to see her credentials and experience. She's a wealth of knowledge for navigating the financial landscape.
For starters, quit insisting that every citizen who sucks oxygen should have the right to vote. NONSENSE! No citizen should be allowed to vote until he or she has taken and passed a basic Civics test so that you understand how our government works. For example: 1) how many main branches are there in our form of government? 2) Name them. 3) In no more than two sentences, describe the role of each. Right there you would probably eliminate about 75% of today's voters, which would be the proper thing to do! If you think Presidents "write laws," you have no business voting!!!!
Agree. Originally, as a republic, only people who had a ‘stake’ could vote: land owners, business owners, etc.. The game changed when any citizen over 18 could vote.
One of the major problems with the Inheritance Tax is that it is a really great way to destroy a successful family owned small business that's valuable enough to qualify for the tax but that also has little liquidity because it's all tied up in the business. Often the only way to pay the tax is to liquify the business. It's why family owned farms & ranches tend to shrink with every generation. Farmers & ranchers may have a truly significant net worth because of the value of the land & equipment (priced a tractor or a combine lately?!) but survive on only a middle class income. The only way to pay the tax is to sell off some of the land. Yeah, sure, there are also those inheriting hundred-million dollar trust funds, but they are the exception, not the rule. The 'Death Tax' is insidious, and it needs to go away forever. Death should not be a taxable event!
His website's "source data" shares the Dept of Homeland Security's number of 11 million illegals in this country. That number has been used for the last 25 years! There is no chance that number is correct considering the last 3.5 years. The number per month is never zero and a fraction are being deported.
Yes the number of individuals in the United States is now estimated to be between 18 - 22 million Even if it’s at the absolute lowest value,it’s still insane
First rule of govt is hold no politician or bureaucrat accountable, Second is spend other people's money like the worst heroine addict ever, Third pass the problems & debt on to others, Fourth come to DC poor & leave a multi-millionaire
I totally get where this guy is coming from. It’s the old adage Accountant thinking versus salesman pitches The numbers generally never add up when sales make their pitch!
Why in the hell would you want people to pay twice , once living and once dead . I think the death tax should be 15% and drop by age meaning after 70 years of age 10% etc
MEGEN KELLY is the hottest and smartest journalist with a sexy smooth voice and occasional righteous indignate profanity is a real turn on for most conservatives.
The Blue States, where the state is involved in the selling of drugs i.e. pot etc. etc. are realizing that it's way cheaper to purchase on the streets than in their legal stores. $300 a bag plus tax, Dems are in money - [California now regularly rakes in more than $1 billion per year in marijuana tax revenue. Many other states with thriving markets make hundreds of millions per year. Combined, states have reported over $19 billion in tax revenue from recreational cannabis sales and medical marijuana sales so far.] ~Motley Fool.
I am a recovered herion addict and have buried over 25 people in the last few years alone. I don't believe the numbers I'm seeing it first hand. What better group of people to not give a shit about than an addict. When your trapped in addiction in almost impossible to stop. There is a lot of factors to the why including barbaric detox methods allowing people to be deathly ill when unnecessary, using 12 steps for fatal disease, where your belittled, sexually harassed, and judged for using life saving medications. I'm so thankful to be sober a few years but nearly died getting here. Love your content. 😊

The existing political parties have made it impossible for a competing political party to emerge or a grass roots candidate to emerge from the state primary process. Strike down all the regulations and laws that prevent political competition.
I think Obama did away with it for a brief time, but I don't know the details behind it at that time. I just know that in 2012, there wasn't any tax on some money I inherited, but when the final disbursement happened in early 2013, it was taxed pretty heavily. Given the time span, it might have been an election year change, that got switched back on as soon as the dems kept the White House.
Unemployment and disenfranchisement drives up drug use in the younger generation.. and a massive increase in kids in the foster care system that age out at 18..what else is there out there for them?
@salty..... unemployment??? There are "now hiring" signs at nearly every place of business. Tgey dont want to work- entitled, "only fans", YT channels... that's what youth does today. Growing up I hardly ever had only 1 job at a time. Late 70s after graduation- there were no jobs to get, interest was sky high on any loans. There is no reason for youth today to NOT prosper if they really want to work!!
I remember my days in the early 60's when not much was on the street in the way of drugs, We mostly stuck with beer . Then I went to Vietnam, On a visit back home, weed was starting up in a bigger way.........and the temptation to do drugs , being told it was not addicting or harmful, just a short high.............they lied, and ''they'' still are
Same here ❤️ waking up every 14th of each month to 210,000 dollars it’s a blessing to I and my family… I can now retire knowing that I have a steady income❤️ Big gratitude to Maria Frances Hanlon 🙌
I'm curious on your thoughts on the Texas Debate between Ted Cruz and Rep Colin Allred. Personally, I thought it was over when Cruz pointed out that Colin voted 100% with Nancy Pelosi.
Let's talk about the marijuana ads in Florida where sheriff's deputy sheriff's in ads are saying that there's Fentanyl and marijuana there is no evidence of any of that
Cannabis will ALWAYS be L. E. #1 target. Weed is the start of the chain of users saying 🖕cops, I like my drugs. They call it a "gateway drug"... as a 30 plus year toker... Caffeine is a bigger drug. NOTHING COMPARES TO ADRENILALINE as an addictive drug....just ask any driver..high on caffine!!
You know Steve Balmer gets a bad rap when he was leading Microsoft. Not a lot of people understand that without Steve's leadership, Microsoft would not have been nearly as successful in the cloud and with the Azure platform. I worked at Microsoft for 10 years and Steve was dead set on bringing Office 365 and azure to market. It's true he didn't see the full success before he left but trust me when I say he was the man behind so much of the success at Microsoft.
The key to fixing our problems lies in FOCUS. We can not begin to solve all of our problems and the world's problems too. It can't be done. (We would probably all be shocked by how much money we'd save by focusing on our issues.) Our political process is broken. Politicians can not agree on our priorities. We need to fix our process for building consensus on what to work on first, second, third ... We have the wrong politicians ... lawyers. What are lawyers trained to do? Argue. And it makes little difference to them which side of an issue they are arguing. This does not build cooperation, acceptance, and agreement. As we have seen, we are more likely to get hostility. It doesn't help that the cost of getting elected has become obscene, leading to politicians trying to serve a multitude of masters. That leads to campaigns being bought and poor candidates. How else can you explain the Democrats' two, inept, incompetent buffoons being at the top of their ticket. Billion dollar campaigns lead to foreign interest interference, mediocre candidates who can't explain their masters' policies, and false image portrayals by a media being reimbursed by ad money. This has led to elections of people who have no business running anything ... and ultimately the destruction of our society and country. I think we'd be better off giving each candidate an equal amount of money to make their pitch ... perhaps leading to them spending more time refining their goals, policies, and speeches. We should then throw anyone in jail who attempts to influence a race with their money. I suspect this would lead to politicians with greater understanding of their constituents' needs and fewer career politicians.
Thanks Megan, but had to cut off at the 3 min mark when Steve starts with accurate data as the soln to our political probs. You touched on ISSUE#1 (Money in politics) but then quickly differed to outside help. Hello. Written too much about this on YT and FB and... Bizare that we do not focus on it like a laser so that we can begin to fix HC, and spending, tax law and everything that touches our lives. We do have the added issue of many thinking we are so diff. Let's start with Maslow's hierarchy of needs and talk about how diff we are. By the way, even people like Stewart and Oliver who make habit of addressing the corruption do not go far enuf. They should end EVERY broadcast/segment on that issue to taking money out of politics. 26 states allow public refs. Until then, we are like cows following the side-topic of the day. And you and Oliver and Stewart and..are complicit........or scared.
The main driver on usage of Fentanyl is the insane extremes people are trying to navigate 24/7. In the last 4 to 6 years, every normal "just living life" American doesn't have the capacity to deal with the psychological and physical assaults that radicalized politics assaults them with. I've worked with chronic pain patients for 20 years and what's happening with fentanyl is massively worse than chronic pain people trying to control therapeutic value vs pysch self care treatment in the last 5 years. 20x worse. People achieved a balance back and forth between the two. People now are literally falling apart. Whether you are looking at chronic misuse to check out from feeling anything or a 19 year old whack job throwing paint on a million dollar painting, they're all symptoms of life as covid hit, followed by riots, followed by weaponization of govt, followed by........................ The Chinese and the cartels recognize an open door when they see one. Hence, 2$ tabs of fentanyl.
He's so off with the social media thing - it's completely different between siblings in the same family that are a couple years apart! And I'm talking about teens.
I had to chase away a guy smoking crack? Heroin? … off of a piece of tin foil right on the steps of a private school for disabled children. They disgust me.
Megyn, I am so sick of all you pontificating about fentanyl without having a clue what youre talking about. I am a former addict and I can tell you exactly why fentanyl has become a problem but none of you will ever listen. This is why we have the never ending drug problem in this country. A bunch of people who have never done drugs telling us why its a problem is peak insanity.
Yes. Let’s talk about the Social Security Fund. Take it out of the general budget. Then, we can talk about it. The government should hold itself accountable the same as it did the Postal Service for their retirement accounts.
I have to ask. Why should anyone not directly impacted by the “accidental” deaths care? These individuals are not being force fed the drug, right? If they are choosing to put the drug in their body, why is it anything more than a number for the majority of us? Is it some grand secret that drugs kill people? And is it a secret that if you choose this, you might die? I’m not being mean, I’m being simply data driven. What does the pure data answer for my question?
Wow. A new fact-checking "unbiased" information outlet. Just in the area of finance/government spending/economics, we have dozens of governmental agencies, like the Joint Commission on Taxation, the Congressional Research Service, The Bureau of Labor Statistics, the White House Office of Management and Budget, the Council of Economic Advisors, the Treasury, the Federal Reserve. This doesn't count the individual government departments who are actually executing the spending and budgeting, like Medicare/Medicaid, Social Security Administration, Dept. of Defense, CDC, HHS, etc. We have Congressional Oversight Committees. We have countless private think tanks and research organizations (Brookings, Heritage, Commonwealth, etc). We have armies of NGOs, many of which are crooked. And we supposedly have the media serving as our watchdog, including dozens of independent fact-checking organizations like the Poynter Institute. And they all have an agenda of some sort. So what is Ballmer going to do differently? And how is his organization going to keep from getting captured by leftist ideology and morphing into another propaganda outlet? He spent way too much time in Washington state with Bill Gates to be trustworthy, in my opinion. And it's all for naught if the government, in collaboration with Big Tech and the mainstream media, continues to censor information it doesn't like. Even if he is successful (however he defines it), it's barely going to create a ripple. Hell, government itself has so many sets of numbers and "facts" that I don't think it can achieve agreement internally on what's truly accurate. Getting even more granular, how many numbers the government uses in policy-making are based on projections, estimates, and models, all of which require a healthy portion of guesswork and assumptions which may or may not reflect reality? The problem Ballmer seeks to address requires a lot more than I think he even realizes. I applaud his enthusiasm. But it's naive, and arguably bordering on hubris, to think that he will make an impact. It's an "all-of-society" problem. And even if it were achievable to lock down solid factual information, then you have to overhaul our entire education system, which is every bit as ideological and politicized and disingenuous as any other part of government.
Does Mr. Balmer not realize that there are always two or more ways of looking at any set of facts. We will never agree on just one result from a large set of data that is observed by more than one group of people. Opinions become an issue. His "facts," I believe fall into that category.
hey Megyn Kelly can you message the fox news anchor that is going to interview harris and get him to give her some really hard ? s to see what makes her tick

Bizare that we do not focus on it like a laser so that we can begin to fix HC, and spending, tax law and everything that touches our lives. We do have the added issue of many thinking we are so diff. Let's start with Maslow's hierarchy of needs and talk about how diff we are.
By the way, even people like Stewart and Oliver who make habit of addressing the corruption do not go far enuf. They should end EVERY broadcast/segment on that issue to taking money out of politics. 26 states allow public refs.
Until then, we are like cows following the side-topic of the day. And you and Oliver and Stewart and..are complicit........or scared.
The main driver on usage of Fentanyl is the insane extremes people are trying to navigate 24/7.
In the last 4 to 6 years, every normal "just living life" American doesn't have the capacity to deal with the psychological and physical assaults that radicalized politics assaults them with.
I've worked with chronic pain patients for 20 years and what's happening with fentanyl is massively worse than chronic pain people trying to control therapeutic value vs pysch self care treatment in the last 5 years. 20x worse. People achieved a balance back and forth between the two.
People now are literally falling apart. Whether you are looking at chronic misuse to check out from feeling anything or a 19 year old whack job throwing paint on a million dollar painting,
they're all symptoms of life as covid hit, followed by riots, followed by weaponization of govt, followed by........................
The Chinese and the cartels recognize an open door when they see one.
Hence, 2$ tabs of fentanyl.
Germany's deficit? ZERO! They have a surplus.
@@thomaswhalen5451 I’m of German blood n they’re great but took trump to get them to pay 2% to NATO
We have met the enemy..and he is US 😮
He's so off with the social media thing - it's completely different between siblings in the same family that are a couple years apart! And I'm talking about teens.
I had to chase away a guy smoking crack? Heroin? … off of a piece of tin foil right on the steps of a private school for disabled children. They disgust me.
Megyn, I am so sick of all you pontificating about fentanyl without having a clue what youre talking about. I am a former addict and I can tell you exactly why fentanyl has become a problem but none of you will ever listen. This is why we have the never ending drug problem in this country. A bunch of people who have never done drugs telling us why its a problem is peak insanity.
This guy was a horrible ceo...
Just how drunk was Steven during this segment? 🥃
Yes. Let’s talk about the Social Security Fund. Take it out of the general budget. Then, we can talk about it. The government should hold itself accountable the same as it did the Postal Service for their retirement accounts.
I have to ask. Why should anyone not directly impacted by the “accidental” deaths care?
These individuals are not being force fed the drug, right?
If they are choosing to put the drug in their body, why is it anything more than a number for the majority of us? Is it some grand secret that drugs kill people? And is it a secret that if you choose this, you might die?
I’m not being mean, I’m being simply data driven. What does the pure data answer for my question?
Wow. A new fact-checking "unbiased" information outlet. Just in the area of finance/government spending/economics, we have dozens of governmental agencies, like the Joint Commission on Taxation, the Congressional Research Service, The Bureau of Labor Statistics, the White House Office of Management and Budget, the Council of Economic Advisors, the Treasury, the Federal Reserve. This doesn't count the individual government departments who are actually executing the spending and budgeting, like Medicare/Medicaid, Social Security Administration, Dept. of Defense, CDC, HHS, etc. We have Congressional Oversight Committees. We have countless private think tanks and research organizations (Brookings, Heritage, Commonwealth, etc). We have armies of NGOs, many of which are crooked. And we supposedly have the media serving as our watchdog, including dozens of independent fact-checking organizations like the Poynter Institute. And they all have an agenda of some sort.
So what is Ballmer going to do differently? And how is his organization going to keep from getting captured by leftist ideology and morphing into another propaganda outlet? He spent way too much time in Washington state with Bill Gates to be trustworthy, in my opinion. And it's all for naught if the government, in collaboration with Big Tech and the mainstream media, continues to censor information it doesn't like.
Even if he is successful (however he defines it), it's barely going to create a ripple. Hell, government itself has so many sets of numbers and "facts" that I don't think it can achieve agreement internally on what's truly accurate. Getting even more granular, how many numbers the government uses in policy-making are based on projections, estimates, and models, all of which require a healthy portion of guesswork and assumptions which may or may not reflect reality?
The problem Ballmer seeks to address requires a lot more than I think he even realizes. I applaud his enthusiasm. But it's naive, and arguably bordering on hubris, to think that he will make an impact. It's an "all-of-society" problem. And even if it were achievable to lock down solid factual information, then you have to overhaul our entire education system, which is every bit as ideological and politicized and disingenuous as any other part of government.

Does Mr. Balmer not realize that there are always two or more ways of looking at any set of facts. We will never agree on just one result from a large set of data that is observed by more than one group of people. Opinions become an issue. His "facts," I believe fall into that category.
hey Megyn Kelly can you message the fox news anchor that is going to interview harris and get him to give her some really hard ? s to see what makes her tick
I think you should for Pres.
7th richest person in the world and he can't afford a microphone
Ballmer's audio is so bad, I stopped listening.
Think about it. The people that bring Trump victory in this election will also be the ones finding their asses deported once he wins. I’m lovin it. 😂🍿🥤MAGA!!!!!
