    Fantastic video🔥🔥! I have incurred so much losses trading on my own....I trade well on demo but I think the real market is manipulated.... Can anyone help me out or at least tell me what I'm doing wrong??

      Trading on a demo account can definitely feel similar to the real market, but there are some differences. It's important to remember that trading involves risks and it's normal to face looses sometimes. One piece of advice is to start small and gradually increase your investments as you gain more experience and confidence. It might also be helpful to seek guidance from experienced traders.

    I grew up in the eastern bloc right next to Slovakia, your wife’s home country France is rich and luxurious in comparison and always has been.
    I lived in the UK for the past 20 years, here I can buy half a cow at a time from a farm and it’s very good quality. In the Eastern bloc country it’s hard to even get decent red meat outside of big city supermarkets because too many people can’t afford it so there’s less supply to meet less demand. Everyone eats pork with pork.
    The American dream no longer exists, Dr Baker. The boomers still pretend it does but it doesn’t.
    I’d say that now when I visit the US from the UK, I’m very disappointed. I visited last month again and I had to ask customer service in Safeway for honey because it was locked away due to theft. Even bandaids were locked away. The US is deteriorating fast.
    Cherish your beef supply because they are coming for farmers there too.

    I lived in France for a while - it's amazing how the US and the UK have a different focus. I ate many wonderful meals made in the most basic of kitchens in France (some people don't even have a fridge in their homes) yet the focus when I moved back to the UK was all about installing a fancy kitchen costing many thousands of £s yet the food prepared in them is not as good and more processed. In Spain, the kitchens are tiny because all the focus is on eating out. What I love about France and to an extent Spain, is the markets and the produce - some wonderful fish shops and butchers.

He is so underweight for most of his life because of it. One slice of American bread could send him to the doctor for help. He started traveling to Europe about 5 years ago and found out he can eat literally anything there. Even the bread is fine. He told me he eats bread with every meal there! 😅 He knows when he gets home many foods are off his menu. He gains probably 6 lbs every time he travels to Europe.

    I've been living in France for 7 years now, from Texas originally. Yes, meat is cheaper and steaks are better in Texas, but everything else is healthier for you in France. When my family visits us, they are amazed about how thin people are and asked me if I "work out" because I look so thin at 45 years old. American restaurants can make food taste pretty good, but I can actually eat anything in France without having some weird side effects, like eating just bread. I'll take better bread, charcuterie, cheese, milk and veggies over having steak with more fat content any day.
    BTW, In France, there is a type of meat called Charolais, which I had a taste of at the Agricultural Exposition in Paris. It was every bit as good as the best steak I've had in Texas. It's just that the majority of steaks you find in the supermarket have a really low fat content or are a cheaper cut.

    I understand your standpoint, tbh, I trully believe that if you have money, living in europe is far better, but that's the catch, you have to have it, and there's a lot of barriers getting out of the "conformity class", I've always wanted to build a business, but I've always been put off by the ammount of upfront legalese I have to do and the upfront costs (taxes) I have to take on without even having a single customer. So much so that I'm convinced that if I ever setup a business it will be have to be incorporated in a different country, like Estonia or the US (Delaware).

    Dr Baker, nice recap! How did you like driving in Europe with all the Speed Controls? Americans enjoy so much more freedom than Europeans. Europe is turning into a Chinese style Big Brother society very rapidly. Most American don't realize how good they have it. Starting a business in Europe is tough with all the bureaucracy involved. Butchers and Bakers are disappearing at a rapid rate due to endless amounts of paper work required for running a business and the social system has made the population lazy and dependent on government handouts, making it very hard to find staff. And I agree, beef is much better in the US. American cuts are getting more popular, I see more and more thicker cuts in Belgian Butchers shops, but those are much more expensive than in the US and Grass Fed and Grass finished beef is nearly impossible to find. I paid 130 Euros for 2, 1.5" thick Ribeye's when I was visiting my family last month and not many people can afford that. Safe travels!

Also the Chickens in U.S. are 2-3 times the size of those in U.K. and even in U.K. they're twice the size they used to be 50years ago, so God knows what they pump into them in the U.S. I know much of whats in thw U.S. food is banned in rest of the world due to being hazardous, so I think even though our food is a lot dearer and don't get as much, it's definitely not as unhealthy, which is probably the reason there's so much more bad health in the U.S. and probably why most Americans who come to either UK or Europe tend to lose weight, get healthy and get rid of health conditions without even actively changing anything, just because eating better quality food.. that for me is the most worrying thing about U.S. foodchain.

Buying their own home is an impossibility, and many have to move back home, and/or live with roommates. That's the reality in the United States today.

    Grew up in Australia and live in Europe now. I kinda hate driving, started driving since 16 and its just cars and traffic and the same damn roads its a real grind. As cities are expanding your only chance to buy a home (if thats possible - see australian housing situation) is moving further out which means more driving, more fuel chewing up your income. So what if we get paid more if it goes on more cars, more driving. I bike for 3/4 of the year to work and use public transport for the rest these days. My wife and I don't own a car and just justify any uber ride anywhere as a result. Theres always trade offs.

    Wow, I am an Aussie living in Spain, and as someone who lives here and has traveled throughout Europe many times in vans of different sizes, I couldn't disagree with your comments more.
    Do you Yanks really think the USA is it? Life isn't always about money, fortunately, the
    Europeans believe that health is wealth and that life is lived to its fullest.
    The USA is actually a 3rd world country from where I sit, it has the most archaic health system on the planet and if for some reason the average person doesn't die from obesity or drug overdose, they will possibly be shot by a random school kid who is not old enough to smoke or vote, but can own or carry a gun!
    Throughout Europe you have to look hard to find a Maccas or KFC etc, everyone eats local fresh produce generally, there are fresh food markets everywhere and protein is abundant and as thick as you ask for it. (obviously not as thick as some!).
    Really the only obese people I meet in Europe are American tourists who bitch about walking and compare everything to the USA. (Stay home) If you travel, embrace the culture you're visiting, and don't compare because if everywhere was like the US the suicide rate would be catastrophic.
    I am a fan of the Carnivore lifestyle and grew up with a father who was a butcher so this way of eating comes naturally to me and makes all the sense in the world, and I also appreciate all the proactive voices promoting carnivore and a healthy alternative but please don't get on youtube and talk bullshit, Europeans live on average a hell of a lot longer than Americans do, just saying!

      There are lots of healthy people in the USA. Just because Mcdonalds and KFC exist, doesn't mean you have to eat there. The big difference is personal freedom. In Europe, the government limits your choices, taxes you excessively, and caps your potential. No thanks!

      I'm living here and I'm not that bothered though he's definitely wrong about people being able to pull themselves up from low beginnings to wealth. Not sure where he gets that from, but it's crap. He's 100% right about the thin steaks.

    All these Americans saying they lose weight in Europe. I lived in Europe. Weight unchanged. If you can’t find good food in an American grocery store you’re not looking hard enough or lack discipline.

    What's interesting to me is that a lot of Americans move to the Netherlands, because it's cheaper overall. Guess it just depends on who you listen to.

      European cities are less expensive than US ones. But you do earn more in the US.
      Buy if you want land, you'll find cheaper places in the US.

    Man, going to a supermarket and saying the steaks are to thick .,,,, you mean cows are not thick in Europe?. Here you go to the market and the butcher asks you how thick you want your steak. Furthermore, you can buy the whole cows. Brain, guts, liver, bloed....
