Looks like this is Tim's new Friday show, it seems
Presiona para expandir...
I tried watching this and made it about 20 minutes before giving up. I was actually interested in what Oli London had to say since I've never heard from a recovering plastic surgery addict, but Tim wasn't doing a good job interviewing. His questions weren't poignant and he was too quick to jump in with his life story. If it for better a time went on let me know.

Tim has the capacity to draw some interesting guests for a long form interview, but his skill set isn't suited to content over 10 minutes long.

Considering his podcast is the one show I've seen where the host speaks significantly more than his guest I can't be very shocked he is a terrible interviewer

Isn't Tim less than 300 miles away from East Palestine? Instead of sperging over "media blackout", he can jump into his van and get there in less than a day. Interview locals, fly drones over derailment site, film dead fish in creeks etc.

I wouldn't do that, would you?

Why not just waltz into Chernobyl to snap pictures of the melted core, too?

Yeah, just let me grab US Visa from an embassy that stopped issuing them a year ago.
Plus, Tim is a paranoid prepper, his castle probably has enough CBRN gear to equip an entire platoon. He can mumble Marvel references through a gas mask or SCBA, no problem. And the derailment site itself can be filmed from drones (it was cordoned off by the police, anyway).
 
From worst to best, where would you rank the following:
1.) Ohio Train Spill
2.) Active Warzone
3.) Peaceful Protest Packed With Neighbors
4.) Chernobyl

Too bad the platoon he'd arm wouldn't be able to use any of it effectively and even if they could they'd be too stoned to be effective.

Chernobyl-nuclear fallout, no defense
Ohio Train Spill-chemical fallout, no defense
Peaceful Protest-An entire political party neuters the police so riots go unchecked, so not enough defense
Active Warzone-Hide in a building or start digging trenches and there's a reasonable chance of survival

Ohio is a bit of a wild card that makes it both the least and most scary to me. The other three all have clear and obvious immediate dangers, but there is a major unknown related to Ohio. Would you rather risk getting killed immediately, or develop something slow and painful over the next who knows how many years? Outside of Chernobyl you at least have ways of defending yourself in the other situations. Hearing stories about the air having a weird smell to it and the people having constant headaches terrifies me to no end.

I'm pretty sure you'd be fine if you just go to the crash site for a day or two, bring your own food, and don't ingest the water from the river.

The big thing is you're also going in as a reporter most likely, so you can bring food and PPE as needed. I really don't think Ohio is that bad, and don't get me wrong, it's terrible in terms of response by the government, but it's probably very easy to survive with proper equipment. Things like Neighbors and Jihadis are much less predictable.

Except China is losing ground on even that much and manufacturing is moving to cheaper countries because China is getting too expensive and authoritarian. It's getting to the point in China where going to work is almost pointless.

China’s main influence is two fold: they will do almost anything and they have entire cities built around single industries. The latter is highly important because prototyping a model in the USA would typically involve multiple plants in numerous states and the retooling process is severely delayed. Having one city that does the glass, the chips, the case, the assembly, etc makes it so much quicker to test new prototypes and make last minute changes to a final product much more manageable.

Some people I've seen on here argue is that China isn't a paper tiger because it has the manufacturing industry to take potential economic hits better than the US that's based more on a service economy. I don't know that's true or not, I don't know shit about how Economics or Markets work, but it makes common sense to me.

Yes and no. China has infrastructure, but they’re kind of retarded and basically have to steal almost everything. The USA is retooling a lot of stuff to get back into natural resources (great company to keep an eye on is Michigan Potash & Salt Co.) and also shift more manufacturing to friendlier territories like Cambodia and Vietnam.

China’s big weakness is that their military is, from an offensive stance, an absolute joke. Their navy is shitty repurposed cargo ships into battleships. Their Air Force is essentially scrap metal. Their special forces are completely untested and have zero real world experience as well as being under equipped.

The area where China really wins is that invading/attacking them is a complete nightmare. If the USA wanted, we could stop exporting pork and soy beans right now and there would be massive widespread famine in China within months. Because the retarded chinks spent so much time building manufacturing ghost cities and not on building large swaths of local agriculture.

-edit
I want to commend Tim on his Culture War podcast. I think the name is dumb, but the idea is sound. Current political stuff doesn’t have much pull beyond the immediacy. Having guests with long-standing topics allows for prolonged views for months and years down the road. It’s a really smart move to produce content that can perpetually go viral.

I don't think this part is true anymore given their alliance with Russia. Russia was Europe's oil and breadbasket. Now they aren't trading with Europe anymore and have shifted over to selling exports to China.

Funny how three of those stories have been heavily discussed on the farms. Maybe Tim will have another crossover with Adams since Lydia once mentioned she listened to him
