1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:04,240
Speaker 1: Go west, young man. I don't want to. It's one

2
00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:04,640
Speaker 1: more thing.

3
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:14,200
Speaker 2: I'm so before we get to that. Man of scale

4
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:16,200
Speaker 2: was mean to me this morning. I mean mean, I

5
00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:19,000
Speaker 2: don't know it thinks I stole. I don't know if

6
00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:21,640
Speaker 2: it thinks it's I stole its wife or or something.

7
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:27,040
Speaker 2: But the scale is so mean to me, brutal. I

8
00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:31,520
Speaker 2: wonder if it has anything to do with going to

9
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:33,280
Speaker 2: Denny's in the middle of the night the other night

10
00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:36,400
Speaker 2: after taking the dog to the vet, or the fact

11
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:40,920
Speaker 2: that I had ice cream twice. The funny thing about

12
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:44,840
Speaker 2: the scale is it's just I mean, it's so reality

13
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:48,320
Speaker 2: based obviously, and and this weird sense that I have

14
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:52,280
Speaker 2: that I can, you know, slip one by the scale somehow.

15
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 2: You know, I'll eat this one. Really shouldn't eat this

16
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 2: sort of thing, right, Just pull a fast one. Yeah,

17
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:00,800
Speaker 2: I'll pull a fast one. Scale won't notice.

18
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 3: It's so hilarious, it's yeah, and it never works.

19
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 1: The whole vacation thing.

20
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 3: You know, calories don't count all or you know it's

21
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 3: been stressful and it'll be fine. I mean, because it

22
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:15,399
Speaker 3: was a stressful day.

23
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:19,400
Speaker 1: I'm a plate whatever screw.

24
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:21,480
Speaker 2: I'm gonna get a new scale. Throw this one in

25
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 2: the trash and get a new one. Gives me better numbers. Although,

26
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:26,880
Speaker 2: like Trump did with the Bureau Labor Statistics, Lady, I

27
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 2: don't like these numbers. I'm gonna get a different scale.

28
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 2: It gives me better numbers.

29
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:30,479
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're fired.

30
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 3: I'll just keep going through scales. You got a stack

31
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,119
Speaker 3: of them out back, rusting in the rain.

32
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:38,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, I heard.

33
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:38,680
Speaker 2: So.

34
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 1: We're talking about that. The other day.

35
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 2: They said in their family, they have a bunch of

36
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 2: scales in the uh bathroom because members of the family

37
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 2: have some sort of wearable that communicates with the scale,

38
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 2: and to make it simple, they just each have their

39
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 2: own scale. So they got like four scales in the bathroom.

40
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 2: And he said, if he doesn't get a good number

41
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 2: on his scale, sometimes he gets on a different one

42
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 2: to see if it's better.

43
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 3: Wow, that's a lot of clutter, unless you got an

44
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 3: enormous bathroom.

45
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 1: Yeah huh.

46
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:15,640
Speaker 3: So mentioned during the radio show today that the number

47
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 3: of Americans who move to pursue a better gig is

48
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:21,640
Speaker 3: dropped to like the all time low as far as

49
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:25,080
Speaker 3: anybody can tell. And I made reference to an article

50
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:25,800
Speaker 3: we'd talked about.

51
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:30,360
Speaker 1: It had to be at least.

52
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:32,839
Speaker 3: Oh, it was a long time ago about how progressive

53
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 3: froze the American dream in the Atlantic, and it talked

54
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 3: about how nobody's moving like we used to as a people,

55
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 3: and it's really interesting.

56
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 1: It's long. It's the Atlantic, of course.

57
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 3: But all sorts of different quotes from historians and observers

58
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 3: of the American scene, and the one thing that strikes

59
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:55,640
Speaker 3: everybody is how mobile we are, and how you don't

60
00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 3: grow up in the same village your family's been in

61
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 3: for two hundred and fifty years and you never leave there,

62
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:05,680
Speaker 3: and anybody who comes there is viewed with great suspicion

63
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 3: because what are you doing here?

64
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:10,080
Speaker 1: This is our village? And how America is not like

65
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:10,680
Speaker 1: that at all.

66
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:13,359
Speaker 2: No, it never has been up until now, I guess,

67
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 2: but it's funny. It just popped into my head. One

68
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:21,080
Speaker 2: of them, not one of the number one thing I

69
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 2: don't like about the fact that I came from a

70
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:26,400
Speaker 2: moving family as a kid and now as an adult

71
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 2: is the lack of other family being around. I didn't

72
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:33,239
Speaker 2: grow up near cousins and grandparents. My kids aren't growing

73
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 2: up nearing cousins and grandparents. And I see other people

74
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 2: that have that in their lifestyle and look so awesome.

75
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 2: But we're not getting married and having kids, and people

76
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 2: seem to care less about family than they ever have.

77
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 2: So the moving hasn't stopped because of that. It's got

78
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 2: to be other reasons.

79
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's also worth pointing out.

80
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 3: I know more than one person who is driven completely

81
00:03:56,720 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 3: insane by the proximity of their family and the need

82
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 3: to deal with them on a regular basis, whether they

83
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 3: like to or not, because you can't choose your family.

84
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 2: I hear those complaints, but I gotta believe over all

85
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 2: the upside to be better than the downside.

86
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 3: Depends who you ask, but yeah, I see your point.

87
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 3: So this is one of my favorite parts about this article.

88
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:18,599
Speaker 3: Then I'll get to the main thing that I wanted

89
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 3: to bring to you. But when ceaseless migration, I'm sorry,

90
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 3: the ceaseless migration that we have shaped a new way

91
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 3: of thinking. When the mobility of populations was always so great,

92
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:34,040
Speaker 3: the historian Carl Becker observed, the strange face, the odd speech,

93
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:37,799
Speaker 3: the curious custom of dress, and the unaccustomed religious faith

94
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:41,280
Speaker 3: ceased to be a matter of comment or concern, and

95
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 3: as people live to learn to live alongside one another,

96
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:48,039
Speaker 3: the possibilities of pluralism or something like it. Open The

97
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 3: term stranger in other lands synonymous with enemy instead, wrote

98
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:58,039
Speaker 3: Becker wrote, became a common form of friendly salutation. This

99
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:00,840
Speaker 3: is the only nation in the world that would say

100
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:02,359
Speaker 3: something like County stranger.

101
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 2: Oh that's true. Yeah, interesting.

102
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 1: I thought that was kind of cool in a way.

103
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 3: But anyway, the main reason I wanted to bring this

104
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:16,240
Speaker 3: up is the concept of moving Day. And again, we

105
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 3: talked about this months and months ago, but the great

106
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:22,160
Speaker 3: American holiday, the great holiday of American society at its

107
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 3: most nomadic, was Moving Day, observed by renters and landlords

108
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 3: throughout the nineteenth century and well into the twentieth. And

109
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:33,239
Speaker 3: it's funny, there's a nickname for Saturday on the PGA tour.

110
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 3: It's moving Day because you try to get higher in

111
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:38,720
Speaker 3: the standings whatever. But and I've always heard that expression,

112
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 3: but I've never known what it meant. Really, So nineteenth

113
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 3: and twentieth century Moving Day was a festival of new

114
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:49,720
Speaker 3: hopes and beginnings, of shattered dreams and shattered crockery, as

115
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:52,560
Speaker 3: a Chicago newspaper put it in eighteen eighty two, quite

116
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 3: as recognized today as Christmas or the fourth of July.

117
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:59,720
Speaker 3: It was primarily an urban holiday, although many rural communities

118
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 3: where least farms predominated, held their own observances. The dates

119
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 3: differed from state to state and city to city. It's

120
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 3: April first in Pittsburgh, October first in Nashville and New Orleans.

121
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 1: But May first was the most popular, and.

122
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:16,240
Speaker 3: Nothing quite so astonished visitors from a boa abroad as

123
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 3: the spectacle of thousands upon thousands of people picking up

124
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:22,679
Speaker 3: and swapping homes on a single day.

125
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 2: I assume everybody has the same question to me, why

126
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 2: did that happen? I mean, why, how did everybody agree

127
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 2: that we're going to move on the same day?

128
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 3: It just it came to me exactly, leases just landlords.

129
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:43,159
Speaker 3: I mean, there's an obvious incentive for having all of

130
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:48,600
Speaker 3: your potential renters be available on the same day that

131
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:50,719
Speaker 3: your current renters depart.

132
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:52,680
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, I know. I live in a college town.

133
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 2: That's the way it is now. As a renter, that's

134
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:58,680
Speaker 2: exactly the way it is. You go whatever it is

135
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 2: like next week is when the college kids come to

136
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:04,480
Speaker 2: town and the leases start. And that's just the way

137
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:05,279
Speaker 2: it is every year.

138
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah.

139
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 3: I live in a resortee place and Saturday mornings outbound

140
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 3: when all the condos and timeshares and hotels empty, is

141
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 3: crazy traffic. And Saturday afternoon inbound is crazy because everybody's

142
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:27,680
Speaker 3: showing up to do their renolds. But if I'm renting

143
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 3: a condo out it's perfect. Everybody knows it's Saturday, check

144
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 3: out at eleven, check in at four or whatever. And

145
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 3: so that's what evolved. Because we were such immobile people,

146
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 3: huge percentages of people moved every day. And I've got

147
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:45,680
Speaker 3: those numbers around here somewhere. It's you know, again, it's

148
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 3: a very long article with the numbers kind of spread

149
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 3: here hither and yon. But so it just came to

150
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 3: be that moving day was the day everybody moved in

151
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 3: whatever city. For months before moving day, Americans prepared for

152
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 3: the tenants, gave notice lit the landlords or received word of.

153
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 1: The new rent.

154
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 3: Then followed a frenzied period of house hunting as people,

155
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 3: generally women, scouted for a new place to live that

156
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 3: would in some respect improve upon the old quote. They

157
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:15,120
Speaker 3: want more room, or they want as much room for

158
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 3: less rent, or they want a better location, or they

159
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 3: want some convenience. Not heretofore enjoyed the Topeka Daily capital summarized.

160
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 3: There were months of general anticipation. Cities and towns were

161
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 3: alive with excitement. Then early on the day itself, people

162
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 3: commenced moving everything they owned down to the street corners

163
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:35,680
Speaker 3: in great piles of barrels and crates and carpet bags,

164
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 3: vacating houses and apartments before the new renters arrived. Be

165
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 3: out at twelve you must for another family. Are on

166
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 3: your heels. Uh blah blah blah. And my god, we

167
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:51,240
Speaker 3: were so much more illiterate back in the days, and

168
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:55,320
Speaker 3: Thermapalae was a very tame pass compared with the excitement

169
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 3: with trieses when two families meet in the same hall

170
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 3: in Brooklyn, Minutter warned. Then the car men driving their

171
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 3: wagons and dreys through the narrow roads exchanged charged extortion

172
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 3: at rates, lashing mattresses and furnishings atop other heaps of goods,

173
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:15,080
Speaker 3: and careening through the streets to complete as many runs

174
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 3: as they could before nightfall, and treasure hunters picked up

175
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:22,760
Speaker 3: the detreatise in the gutters as stuff fell off the wagons.

176
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 3: Utility companies scrambled to register all the changes. Dusk found

177
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:29,720
Speaker 3: families that had made local moves, settling into their new homes,

178
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 3: unpacking belongings and meeting the neighbors.

179
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:37,440
Speaker 2: Joe and I have both come from moving families, moved

180
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 2: a lot of as adults. Katie, did you or all

181
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 2: your relatives around?

182
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 3: My relatives not all of my relatives were around, but

183
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 3: we stayed in the same town for thirty two years

184
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:49,640
Speaker 3: of my life.

185
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:53,640
Speaker 2: This, see, that's unimaginable to me. Yeah, I mean, I

186
00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:55,600
Speaker 2: just can't even picture what it would be like, Michael,

187
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:57,520
Speaker 2: I know you've stayed in the same spot.

188
00:09:57,600 --> 00:09:58,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, pretty much like Katie.

189
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:02,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, everybody knows everything and you can't go to the

190
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 3: grocery store without seeing somebody, you.

191
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 2: Know, Yeah, which is either a good thing or a

192
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 2: bad thing, depending on how you look at it. I

193
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:12,320
Speaker 2: had a girlfriend years ago who she had everybody was

194
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 2: in the same area, and she would talk about, oh boy,

195
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 2: here comes fall because for whatever reason, there were lots

196
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 2: of like cousins with birthdays and anniversaries, and there's just

197
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:28,079
Speaker 2: like eight weekends in a row where everybody was expected

198
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:31,320
Speaker 2: to be at Grandma's house because it's somebody's birthday or

199
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 2: anniversary or something. It just like took up two months

200
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:37,960
Speaker 2: and she was trying to decide whether she wanted to

201
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 2: tell her parents, you know, I'm not going to do

202
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:43,560
Speaker 2: all of them this year. I think. I think I

203
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 2: just can't because it was kind of expected that everybody

204
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:49,480
Speaker 2: showed up for everybody's birthday and I didn't. I don't

205
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:51,840
Speaker 2: have that at all in my life. And you know,

206
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:54,559
Speaker 2: for better or worse, and a lot of it I

207
00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:58,120
Speaker 2: think is worse. I wish, I wish my kids would

208
00:10:58,120 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 2: have been able to be around cousins and stuff a

209
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:02,320
Speaker 2: lot that, But I am raising my kids certainly with

210
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:04,880
Speaker 2: the idea of if you can't find the job you

211
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 2: want here, and you probably can't go to where it is.

212
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:09,200
Speaker 1: Sure.

213
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:13,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, So back in nineteen oh six, for instance, over

214
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:16,559
Speaker 3: a five year span, this is in Saint Louis, Greater

215
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:20,520
Speaker 3: Saint Louis. Over a five year span, eighty percent of

216
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:23,000
Speaker 3: local families would have changed addresses.

217
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 2: That's amazing.

218
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 1: Yeah.

219
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:27,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, they might have stayed in the same metro area

220
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:31,840
Speaker 3: or the same county or whatever, but they would move.

221
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:34,000
Speaker 2: That's a completely different lifestyle.

222
00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:36,839
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, there's a different world in a lot of

223
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:37,439
Speaker 1: different ways.

224
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 3: And actually, the point of this article, which is an

225
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:42,520
Speaker 3: opportunity to take a shot at progressives, which you may

226
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 3: recall from the first time we discussed that was in

227
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:49,559
Speaker 3: New York City, and like the sixties and seventies, progressives

228
00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:52,520
Speaker 3: came into neighborhoods and decided this should be preserved just

229
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:57,000
Speaker 3: as it is. We can't lose the quaint character of

230
00:11:57,040 --> 00:12:02,560
Speaker 3: this neighborhood. And America would say, yeah, we want to

231
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:04,560
Speaker 3: update it, we want to improve it, we want to

232
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:08,120
Speaker 3: tear down what is not efficient and build what is efficient,

233
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 3: and do what we've always done as a country.

234
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:13,520
Speaker 1: But the progressive said, no, we can't do that.

235
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:16,560
Speaker 3: That's ugly and blah blah blah, and that is what

236
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:21,080
Speaker 3: caused a lot of the shortages of housing in our cities.

237
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 3: And you know, it's true, and they make a really,

238
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 3: really good case, and it is the nimby nature of

239
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:34,440
Speaker 3: lefties and how they fall in love with a particular look.

240
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:37,280
Speaker 3: Never mind that that neighborhood didn't look like that twenty

241
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:40,840
Speaker 3: years before, because that wasn't the right use for that neighborhood.

242
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:45,480
Speaker 3: They didn't need as many you know, shops and boutiques

243
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:49,600
Speaker 3: they needed whatever, and twenty years from now they'll need

244
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:54,160
Speaker 3: completely different stuff. So why are you freezing it in amber? Well,

245
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:56,360
Speaker 3: because it's sweeten I live here, and I want to

246
00:12:56,360 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 3: protect my property value. At the same time, somebody once

247
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:06,720
Speaker 3: said to me they were talking about Rome, and they said, yeah,

248
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:12,000
Speaker 3: we tear down our colosseums, so nobody, no future civilization

249
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:14,880
Speaker 3: will ever visit our colisseums because we just tear them

250
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:17,600
Speaker 3: down and build something new, which is better.

251
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:18,200
Speaker 1: I don't know.

252
00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:22,360
Speaker 2: You win with the comment that everything was very different

253
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:23,559
Speaker 2: back in nineteen oh six.

254
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:28,040
Speaker 3: It was very very different. Computers were very slow, no

255
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 3: Wi Fi at all. No Wi Fi was spotty at best.

256
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:33,320
Speaker 3: Coverage is spotty.

257
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:38,280
Speaker 1: The iPhone cameras were crap. They were like twelve pixels.

258
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:43,120
Speaker 1: Twelve pixels period. You guys want to see something cool.

259
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:46,160
Speaker 2: My wife and I ran into this yesterday, ironically, nineteen

260
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:47,319
Speaker 2: oh six San Francisco.

261
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:50,720
Speaker 3: They have footage of what it was like in San

262
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 3: Francisco nineteen oh six.

263
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 1: It's amazing. Yeah, it is.

264
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:58,520
Speaker 2: It is. If you've seen it slowed down and colorized,

265
00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:04,239
Speaker 2: it's just incredible. Yeah. I love stuff like that. If

266
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:06,120
Speaker 2: you had a time machine, you could go back and

267
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:10,679
Speaker 2: just like walk around the street someplace, it be endlessly fascinating.

268
00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:14,840
Speaker 3: Pick a new time like every week, do it a

269
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:16,559
Speaker 3: few times a year of course.

270
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:18,320
Speaker 2: She has scratched yourself on a rusty nail, and you'll

271
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:19,680
Speaker 2: be dead by the end of the day because there's

272
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:20,400
Speaker 2: no antibiotics.

273
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:26,120
Speaker 3: But eh, where's that she would have been more careful? Well,

274
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:27,680
Speaker 3: wait a minute, Wait a minute, wait a minute, No,

275
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:28,840
Speaker 3: there are no antibiotics.

276
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:29,440
Speaker 1: That's a good point.

277
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:32,320
Speaker 3: But if you had a technics shot, that would go

278
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:35,040
Speaker 3: with you to the other time, right right?

279
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:37,520
Speaker 2: Well, I guess I don't know. How do time machines work.

280
00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:39,600
Speaker 2: Do your vaccinations go with you in the time machine?

281
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:40,120
Speaker 2: I assume they.

282
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:47,280
Speaker 1: Oh, sure they do what I don't know, why would they? Well,

283
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:50,520
Speaker 1: something to think about. I guess that's it.
