WEBVTT - Go West Young Man...

0:00:00.160 --> 0:00:04.240
<v Speaker 1>Go west, young man. I don't want to. It's one

0:00:04.240 --> 0:00:04.640
<v Speaker 1>more thing.

0:00:06.000 --> 0:00:14.200
<v Speaker 2>I'm so before we get to that. Man of scale

0:00:14.320 --> 0:00:16.200
<v Speaker 2>was mean to me this morning. I mean mean, I

0:00:16.239 --> 0:00:19.000
<v Speaker 2>don't know it thinks I stole. I don't know if

0:00:19.040 --> 0:00:21.640
<v Speaker 2>it thinks it's I stole its wife or or something.

0:00:21.680 --> 0:00:27.040
<v Speaker 2>But the scale is so mean to me, brutal. I

0:00:27.080 --> 0:00:31.520
<v Speaker 2>wonder if it has anything to do with going to

0:00:31.560 --> 0:00:33.280
<v Speaker 2>Denny's in the middle of the night the other night

0:00:33.320 --> 0:00:36.400
<v Speaker 2>after taking the dog to the vet, or the fact

0:00:36.440 --> 0:00:40.920
<v Speaker 2>that I had ice cream twice. The funny thing about

0:00:40.920 --> 0:00:44.840
<v Speaker 2>the scale is it's just I mean, it's so reality

0:00:44.880 --> 0:00:48.320
<v Speaker 2>based obviously, and and this weird sense that I have

0:00:48.440 --> 0:00:52.280
<v Speaker 2>that I can, you know, slip one by the scale somehow.

0:00:53.120 --> 0:00:55.480
<v Speaker 2>You know, I'll eat this one. Really shouldn't eat this

0:00:55.480 --> 0:00:58.480
<v Speaker 2>sort of thing, right, Just pull a fast one. Yeah,

0:00:58.560 --> 0:01:00.800
<v Speaker 2>I'll pull a fast one. Scale won't notice.

0:01:00.960 --> 0:01:07.000
<v Speaker 3>It's so hilarious, it's yeah, and it never works.

0:01:07.040 --> 0:01:08.360
<v Speaker 1>The whole vacation thing.

0:01:08.560 --> 0:01:11.440
<v Speaker 3>You know, calories don't count all or you know it's

0:01:11.480 --> 0:01:14.000
<v Speaker 3>been stressful and it'll be fine. I mean, because it

0:01:14.080 --> 0:01:15.399
<v Speaker 3>was a stressful day.

0:01:15.600 --> 0:01:19.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm a plate whatever screw.

0:01:19.680 --> 0:01:21.480
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna get a new scale. Throw this one in

0:01:21.560 --> 0:01:24.080
<v Speaker 2>the trash and get a new one. Gives me better numbers. Although,

0:01:24.080 --> 0:01:26.880
<v Speaker 2>like Trump did with the Bureau Labor Statistics, Lady, I

0:01:26.880 --> 0:01:28.920
<v Speaker 2>don't like these numbers. I'm gonna get a different scale.

0:01:28.959 --> 0:01:29.800
<v Speaker 2>It gives me better numbers.

0:01:29.880 --> 0:01:30.479
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you're fired.

0:01:31.959 --> 0:01:34.920
<v Speaker 3>I'll just keep going through scales. You got a stack

0:01:35.000 --> 0:01:37.119
<v Speaker 3>of them out back, rusting in the rain.

0:01:37.400 --> 0:01:38.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I heard.

0:01:38.640 --> 0:01:38.680
<v Speaker 2>So.

0:01:38.760 --> 0:01:40.000
<v Speaker 1>We're talking about that. The other day.

0:01:40.120 --> 0:01:41.920
<v Speaker 2>They said in their family, they have a bunch of

0:01:41.959 --> 0:01:48.040
<v Speaker 2>scales in the uh bathroom because members of the family

0:01:48.200 --> 0:01:53.440
<v Speaker 2>have some sort of wearable that communicates with the scale,

0:01:54.000 --> 0:01:56.000
<v Speaker 2>and to make it simple, they just each have their

0:01:56.040 --> 0:01:59.520
<v Speaker 2>own scale. So they got like four scales in the bathroom.

0:01:59.560 --> 0:02:01.000
<v Speaker 2>And he said, if he doesn't get a good number

0:02:01.000 --> 0:02:03.400
<v Speaker 2>on his scale, sometimes he gets on a different one

0:02:03.440 --> 0:02:04.240
<v Speaker 2>to see if it's better.

0:02:06.480 --> 0:02:08.600
<v Speaker 3>Wow, that's a lot of clutter, unless you got an

0:02:08.760 --> 0:02:09.720
<v Speaker 3>enormous bathroom.

0:02:09.880 --> 0:02:11.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah huh.

0:02:11.360 --> 0:02:15.640
<v Speaker 3>So mentioned during the radio show today that the number

0:02:15.639 --> 0:02:19.440
<v Speaker 3>of Americans who move to pursue a better gig is

0:02:19.520 --> 0:02:21.640
<v Speaker 3>dropped to like the all time low as far as

0:02:21.639 --> 0:02:25.080
<v Speaker 3>anybody can tell. And I made reference to an article

0:02:25.120 --> 0:02:25.800
<v Speaker 3>we'd talked about.

0:02:25.960 --> 0:02:30.360
<v Speaker 1>It had to be at least.

0:02:29.320 --> 0:02:32.839
<v Speaker 3>Oh, it was a long time ago about how progressive

0:02:33.240 --> 0:02:36.720
<v Speaker 3>froze the American dream in the Atlantic, and it talked

0:02:36.760 --> 0:02:41.320
<v Speaker 3>about how nobody's moving like we used to as a people,

0:02:41.600 --> 0:02:42.880
<v Speaker 3>and it's really interesting.

0:02:43.120 --> 0:02:45.720
<v Speaker 1>It's long. It's the Atlantic, of course.

0:02:45.960 --> 0:02:50.280
<v Speaker 3>But all sorts of different quotes from historians and observers

0:02:50.280 --> 0:02:52.200
<v Speaker 3>of the American scene, and the one thing that strikes

0:02:52.200 --> 0:02:55.640
<v Speaker 3>everybody is how mobile we are, and how you don't

0:02:56.919 --> 0:02:59.840
<v Speaker 3>grow up in the same village your family's been in

0:02:59.840 --> 0:03:02.840
<v Speaker 3>for two hundred and fifty years and you never leave there,

0:03:02.919 --> 0:03:05.680
<v Speaker 3>and anybody who comes there is viewed with great suspicion

0:03:05.720 --> 0:03:07.160
<v Speaker 3>because what are you doing here?

0:03:07.240 --> 0:03:10.080
<v Speaker 1>This is our village? And how America is not like

0:03:10.160 --> 0:03:10.680
<v Speaker 1>that at all.

0:03:11.040 --> 0:03:13.359
<v Speaker 2>No, it never has been up until now, I guess,

0:03:13.440 --> 0:03:16.160
<v Speaker 2>but it's funny. It just popped into my head. One

0:03:16.200 --> 0:03:21.080
<v Speaker 2>of them, not one of the number one thing I

0:03:21.240 --> 0:03:23.280
<v Speaker 2>don't like about the fact that I came from a

0:03:23.320 --> 0:03:26.400
<v Speaker 2>moving family as a kid and now as an adult

0:03:26.960 --> 0:03:29.880
<v Speaker 2>is the lack of other family being around. I didn't

0:03:29.880 --> 0:03:33.239
<v Speaker 2>grow up near cousins and grandparents. My kids aren't growing

0:03:33.320 --> 0:03:36.800
<v Speaker 2>up nearing cousins and grandparents. And I see other people

0:03:36.840 --> 0:03:39.480
<v Speaker 2>that have that in their lifestyle and look so awesome.

0:03:40.120 --> 0:03:43.840
<v Speaker 2>But we're not getting married and having kids, and people

0:03:43.840 --> 0:03:45.720
<v Speaker 2>seem to care less about family than they ever have.

0:03:46.120 --> 0:03:49.440
<v Speaker 2>So the moving hasn't stopped because of that. It's got

0:03:49.440 --> 0:03:50.280
<v Speaker 2>to be other reasons.

0:03:50.800 --> 0:03:52.680
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's also worth pointing out.

0:03:52.720 --> 0:03:56.680
<v Speaker 3>I know more than one person who is driven completely

0:03:56.720 --> 0:04:00.680
<v Speaker 3>insane by the proximity of their family and the need

0:04:00.720 --> 0:04:03.240
<v Speaker 3>to deal with them on a regular basis, whether they

0:04:03.400 --> 0:04:06.320
<v Speaker 3>like to or not, because you can't choose your family.

0:04:06.560 --> 0:04:09.400
<v Speaker 2>I hear those complaints, but I gotta believe over all

0:04:09.400 --> 0:04:11.520
<v Speaker 2>the upside to be better than the downside.

0:04:11.960 --> 0:04:14.600
<v Speaker 3>Depends who you ask, but yeah, I see your point.

0:04:14.760 --> 0:04:16.960
<v Speaker 3>So this is one of my favorite parts about this article.

0:04:16.960 --> 0:04:18.599
<v Speaker 3>Then I'll get to the main thing that I wanted

0:04:18.640 --> 0:04:24.440
<v Speaker 3>to bring to you. But when ceaseless migration, I'm sorry,

0:04:24.480 --> 0:04:26.880
<v Speaker 3>the ceaseless migration that we have shaped a new way

0:04:26.920 --> 0:04:30.200
<v Speaker 3>of thinking. When the mobility of populations was always so great,

0:04:30.279 --> 0:04:34.040
<v Speaker 3>the historian Carl Becker observed, the strange face, the odd speech,

0:04:34.160 --> 0:04:37.799
<v Speaker 3>the curious custom of dress, and the unaccustomed religious faith

0:04:38.080 --> 0:04:41.280
<v Speaker 3>ceased to be a matter of comment or concern, and

0:04:41.320 --> 0:04:44.800
<v Speaker 3>as people live to learn to live alongside one another,

0:04:44.839 --> 0:04:48.039
<v Speaker 3>the possibilities of pluralism or something like it. Open The

0:04:48.160 --> 0:04:53.640
<v Speaker 3>term stranger in other lands synonymous with enemy instead, wrote

0:04:54.000 --> 0:04:58.039
<v Speaker 3>Becker wrote, became a common form of friendly salutation. This

0:04:58.240 --> 0:05:00.840
<v Speaker 3>is the only nation in the world that would say

0:05:00.880 --> 0:05:02.359
<v Speaker 3>something like County stranger.

0:05:02.839 --> 0:05:05.680
<v Speaker 2>Oh that's true. Yeah, interesting.

0:05:06.080 --> 0:05:07.880
<v Speaker 1>I thought that was kind of cool in a way.

0:05:07.960 --> 0:05:10.400
<v Speaker 3>But anyway, the main reason I wanted to bring this

0:05:10.480 --> 0:05:16.240
<v Speaker 3>up is the concept of moving Day. And again, we

0:05:16.320 --> 0:05:18.520
<v Speaker 3>talked about this months and months ago, but the great

0:05:18.680 --> 0:05:22.160
<v Speaker 3>American holiday, the great holiday of American society at its

0:05:22.240 --> 0:05:26.320
<v Speaker 3>most nomadic, was Moving Day, observed by renters and landlords

0:05:26.320 --> 0:05:30.080
<v Speaker 3>throughout the nineteenth century and well into the twentieth. And

0:05:30.120 --> 0:05:33.239
<v Speaker 3>it's funny, there's a nickname for Saturday on the PGA tour.

0:05:33.320 --> 0:05:35.400
<v Speaker 3>It's moving Day because you try to get higher in

0:05:35.440 --> 0:05:38.720
<v Speaker 3>the standings whatever. But and I've always heard that expression,

0:05:39.080 --> 0:05:42.960
<v Speaker 3>but I've never known what it meant. Really, So nineteenth

0:05:42.960 --> 0:05:45.760
<v Speaker 3>and twentieth century Moving Day was a festival of new

0:05:45.800 --> 0:05:49.720
<v Speaker 3>hopes and beginnings, of shattered dreams and shattered crockery, as

0:05:49.720 --> 0:05:52.560
<v Speaker 3>a Chicago newspaper put it in eighteen eighty two, quite

0:05:52.640 --> 0:05:55.440
<v Speaker 3>as recognized today as Christmas or the fourth of July.

0:05:56.240 --> 0:05:59.720
<v Speaker 3>It was primarily an urban holiday, although many rural communities

0:05:59.760 --> 0:06:04.000
<v Speaker 3>where least farms predominated, held their own observances. The dates

0:06:04.040 --> 0:06:06.240
<v Speaker 3>differed from state to state and city to city. It's

0:06:06.320 --> 0:06:10.400
<v Speaker 3>April first in Pittsburgh, October first in Nashville and New Orleans.

0:06:10.400 --> 0:06:13.200
<v Speaker 1>But May first was the most popular, and.

0:06:13.120 --> 0:06:16.240
<v Speaker 3>Nothing quite so astonished visitors from a boa abroad as

0:06:16.279 --> 0:06:20.200
<v Speaker 3>the spectacle of thousands upon thousands of people picking up

0:06:20.200 --> 0:06:22.679
<v Speaker 3>and swapping homes on a single day.

0:06:24.600 --> 0:06:26.960
<v Speaker 2>I assume everybody has the same question to me, why

0:06:26.960 --> 0:06:30.120
<v Speaker 2>did that happen? I mean, why, how did everybody agree

0:06:30.160 --> 0:06:31.640
<v Speaker 2>that we're going to move on the same day?

0:06:32.160 --> 0:06:38.000
<v Speaker 3>It just it came to me exactly, leases just landlords.

0:06:38.160 --> 0:06:43.159
<v Speaker 3>I mean, there's an obvious incentive for having all of

0:06:43.200 --> 0:06:48.600
<v Speaker 3>your potential renters be available on the same day that

0:06:48.720 --> 0:06:50.719
<v Speaker 3>your current renters depart.

0:06:51.000 --> 0:06:52.680
<v Speaker 2>Well, yeah, I know. I live in a college town.

0:06:52.720 --> 0:06:55.080
<v Speaker 2>That's the way it is now. As a renter, that's

0:06:55.120 --> 0:06:58.680
<v Speaker 2>exactly the way it is. You go whatever it is

0:06:58.720 --> 0:07:02.560
<v Speaker 2>like next week is when the college kids come to

0:07:02.560 --> 0:07:04.480
<v Speaker 2>town and the leases start. And that's just the way

0:07:04.520 --> 0:07:05.279
<v Speaker 2>it is every year.

0:07:05.880 --> 0:07:06.320
<v Speaker 1>Right, Yeah.

0:07:06.400 --> 0:07:13.480
<v Speaker 3>I live in a resortee place and Saturday mornings outbound

0:07:13.720 --> 0:07:18.280
<v Speaker 3>when all the condos and timeshares and hotels empty, is

0:07:18.560 --> 0:07:24.280
<v Speaker 3>crazy traffic. And Saturday afternoon inbound is crazy because everybody's

0:07:24.280 --> 0:07:27.680
<v Speaker 3>showing up to do their renolds. But if I'm renting

0:07:27.720 --> 0:07:32.280
<v Speaker 3>a condo out it's perfect. Everybody knows it's Saturday, check

0:07:32.320 --> 0:07:34.880
<v Speaker 3>out at eleven, check in at four or whatever. And

0:07:34.960 --> 0:07:39.120
<v Speaker 3>so that's what evolved. Because we were such immobile people,

0:07:39.680 --> 0:07:42.440
<v Speaker 3>huge percentages of people moved every day. And I've got

0:07:42.440 --> 0:07:45.680
<v Speaker 3>those numbers around here somewhere. It's you know, again, it's

0:07:45.680 --> 0:07:49.880
<v Speaker 3>a very long article with the numbers kind of spread

0:07:49.960 --> 0:07:53.280
<v Speaker 3>here hither and yon. But so it just came to

0:07:53.280 --> 0:07:55.520
<v Speaker 3>be that moving day was the day everybody moved in

0:07:55.600 --> 0:07:59.680
<v Speaker 3>whatever city. For months before moving day, Americans prepared for

0:07:59.720 --> 0:08:03.440
<v Speaker 3>the tenants, gave notice lit the landlords or received word of.

0:08:03.400 --> 0:08:04.080
<v Speaker 1>The new rent.

0:08:04.480 --> 0:08:07.200
<v Speaker 3>Then followed a frenzied period of house hunting as people,

0:08:07.240 --> 0:08:09.800
<v Speaker 3>generally women, scouted for a new place to live that

0:08:09.800 --> 0:08:12.960
<v Speaker 3>would in some respect improve upon the old quote. They

0:08:13.000 --> 0:08:15.120
<v Speaker 3>want more room, or they want as much room for

0:08:15.200 --> 0:08:17.560
<v Speaker 3>less rent, or they want a better location, or they

0:08:17.560 --> 0:08:22.400
<v Speaker 3>want some convenience. Not heretofore enjoyed the Topeka Daily capital summarized.

0:08:22.600 --> 0:08:25.960
<v Speaker 3>There were months of general anticipation. Cities and towns were

0:08:25.960 --> 0:08:29.520
<v Speaker 3>alive with excitement. Then early on the day itself, people

0:08:29.560 --> 0:08:32.520
<v Speaker 3>commenced moving everything they owned down to the street corners

0:08:32.520 --> 0:08:35.680
<v Speaker 3>in great piles of barrels and crates and carpet bags,

0:08:36.080 --> 0:08:40.120
<v Speaker 3>vacating houses and apartments before the new renters arrived. Be

0:08:40.280 --> 0:08:44.000
<v Speaker 3>out at twelve you must for another family. Are on

0:08:44.040 --> 0:08:48.040
<v Speaker 3>your heels. Uh blah blah blah. And my god, we

0:08:48.120 --> 0:08:51.240
<v Speaker 3>were so much more illiterate back in the days, and

0:08:51.400 --> 0:08:55.320
<v Speaker 3>Thermapalae was a very tame pass compared with the excitement

0:08:55.320 --> 0:08:58.360
<v Speaker 3>with trieses when two families meet in the same hall

0:08:59.200 --> 0:09:03.520
<v Speaker 3>in Brooklyn, Minutter warned. Then the car men driving their

0:09:03.559 --> 0:09:07.600
<v Speaker 3>wagons and dreys through the narrow roads exchanged charged extortion

0:09:07.679 --> 0:09:12.000
<v Speaker 3>at rates, lashing mattresses and furnishings atop other heaps of goods,

0:09:12.200 --> 0:09:15.080
<v Speaker 3>and careening through the streets to complete as many runs

0:09:15.080 --> 0:09:19.360
<v Speaker 3>as they could before nightfall, and treasure hunters picked up

0:09:19.360 --> 0:09:22.760
<v Speaker 3>the detreatise in the gutters as stuff fell off the wagons.

0:09:23.200 --> 0:09:26.880
<v Speaker 3>Utility companies scrambled to register all the changes. Dusk found

0:09:26.960 --> 0:09:29.720
<v Speaker 3>families that had made local moves, settling into their new homes,

0:09:29.880 --> 0:09:33.280
<v Speaker 3>unpacking belongings and meeting the neighbors.

0:09:34.280 --> 0:09:37.440
<v Speaker 2>Joe and I have both come from moving families, moved

0:09:37.480 --> 0:09:40.640
<v Speaker 2>a lot of as adults. Katie, did you or all

0:09:40.679 --> 0:09:41.800
<v Speaker 2>your relatives around?

0:09:42.880 --> 0:09:45.640
<v Speaker 3>My relatives not all of my relatives were around, but

0:09:45.760 --> 0:09:49.280
<v Speaker 3>we stayed in the same town for thirty two years

0:09:49.280 --> 0:09:49.640
<v Speaker 3>of my life.

0:09:49.920 --> 0:09:53.640
<v Speaker 2>This, see, that's unimaginable to me. Yeah, I mean, I

0:09:53.679 --> 0:09:55.600
<v Speaker 2>just can't even picture what it would be like, Michael,

0:09:55.640 --> 0:09:57.520
<v Speaker 2>I know you've stayed in the same spot.

0:09:57.600 --> 0:09:58.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, pretty much like Katie.

0:09:58.640 --> 0:10:02.480
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, everybody knows everything and you can't go to the

0:10:02.480 --> 0:10:04.280
<v Speaker 3>grocery store without seeing somebody, you.

0:10:04.280 --> 0:10:07.000
<v Speaker 2>Know, Yeah, which is either a good thing or a

0:10:07.000 --> 0:10:08.520
<v Speaker 2>bad thing, depending on how you look at it. I

0:10:08.520 --> 0:10:12.320
<v Speaker 2>had a girlfriend years ago who she had everybody was

0:10:12.559 --> 0:10:15.760
<v Speaker 2>in the same area, and she would talk about, oh boy,

0:10:15.800 --> 0:10:19.800
<v Speaker 2>here comes fall because for whatever reason, there were lots

0:10:19.800 --> 0:10:24.400
<v Speaker 2>of like cousins with birthdays and anniversaries, and there's just

0:10:24.520 --> 0:10:28.079
<v Speaker 2>like eight weekends in a row where everybody was expected

0:10:28.120 --> 0:10:31.320
<v Speaker 2>to be at Grandma's house because it's somebody's birthday or

0:10:31.320 --> 0:10:34.400
<v Speaker 2>anniversary or something. It just like took up two months

0:10:35.080 --> 0:10:37.960
<v Speaker 2>and she was trying to decide whether she wanted to

0:10:38.000 --> 0:10:40.120
<v Speaker 2>tell her parents, you know, I'm not going to do

0:10:40.600 --> 0:10:43.560
<v Speaker 2>all of them this year. I think. I think I

0:10:43.679 --> 0:10:47.120
<v Speaker 2>just can't because it was kind of expected that everybody

0:10:47.160 --> 0:10:49.480
<v Speaker 2>showed up for everybody's birthday and I didn't. I don't

0:10:49.520 --> 0:10:51.840
<v Speaker 2>have that at all in my life. And you know,

0:10:52.679 --> 0:10:54.559
<v Speaker 2>for better or worse, and a lot of it I

0:10:54.559 --> 0:10:58.120
<v Speaker 2>think is worse. I wish, I wish my kids would

0:10:58.120 --> 0:10:59.640
<v Speaker 2>have been able to be around cousins and stuff a

0:10:59.640 --> 0:11:02.320
<v Speaker 2>lot that, But I am raising my kids certainly with

0:11:02.400 --> 0:11:04.880
<v Speaker 2>the idea of if you can't find the job you

0:11:04.920 --> 0:11:08.120
<v Speaker 2>want here, and you probably can't go to where it is.

0:11:09.000 --> 0:11:09.200
<v Speaker 1>Sure.

0:11:09.559 --> 0:11:13.600
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, So back in nineteen oh six, for instance, over

0:11:13.640 --> 0:11:16.559
<v Speaker 3>a five year span, this is in Saint Louis, Greater

0:11:16.640 --> 0:11:20.520
<v Speaker 3>Saint Louis. Over a five year span, eighty percent of

0:11:20.559 --> 0:11:23.000
<v Speaker 3>local families would have changed addresses.

0:11:23.480 --> 0:11:24.240
<v Speaker 2>That's amazing.

0:11:24.800 --> 0:11:25.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:11:25.400 --> 0:11:27.839
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, they might have stayed in the same metro area

0:11:27.880 --> 0:11:31.840
<v Speaker 3>or the same county or whatever, but they would move.

0:11:32.120 --> 0:11:34.000
<v Speaker 2>That's a completely different lifestyle.

0:11:34.679 --> 0:11:36.839
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Yeah, there's a different world in a lot of

0:11:36.840 --> 0:11:37.439
<v Speaker 1>different ways.

0:11:37.520 --> 0:11:40.040
<v Speaker 3>And actually, the point of this article, which is an

0:11:40.080 --> 0:11:42.520
<v Speaker 3>opportunity to take a shot at progressives, which you may

0:11:42.559 --> 0:11:45.240
<v Speaker 3>recall from the first time we discussed that was in

0:11:45.600 --> 0:11:49.559
<v Speaker 3>New York City, and like the sixties and seventies, progressives

0:11:49.559 --> 0:11:52.520
<v Speaker 3>came into neighborhoods and decided this should be preserved just

0:11:52.720 --> 0:11:57.000
<v Speaker 3>as it is. We can't lose the quaint character of

0:11:57.040 --> 0:12:02.560
<v Speaker 3>this neighborhood. And America would say, yeah, we want to

0:12:02.640 --> 0:12:04.560
<v Speaker 3>update it, we want to improve it, we want to

0:12:04.600 --> 0:12:08.120
<v Speaker 3>tear down what is not efficient and build what is efficient,

0:12:08.440 --> 0:12:10.360
<v Speaker 3>and do what we've always done as a country.

0:12:10.800 --> 0:12:13.520
<v Speaker 1>But the progressive said, no, we can't do that.

0:12:13.520 --> 0:12:16.560
<v Speaker 3>That's ugly and blah blah blah, and that is what

0:12:16.760 --> 0:12:21.080
<v Speaker 3>caused a lot of the shortages of housing in our cities.

0:12:22.200 --> 0:12:24.880
<v Speaker 3>And you know, it's true, and they make a really,

0:12:24.920 --> 0:12:30.240
<v Speaker 3>really good case, and it is the nimby nature of

0:12:30.640 --> 0:12:34.440
<v Speaker 3>lefties and how they fall in love with a particular look.

0:12:34.520 --> 0:12:37.280
<v Speaker 3>Never mind that that neighborhood didn't look like that twenty

0:12:37.320 --> 0:12:40.840
<v Speaker 3>years before, because that wasn't the right use for that neighborhood.

0:12:41.640 --> 0:12:45.480
<v Speaker 3>They didn't need as many you know, shops and boutiques

0:12:46.040 --> 0:12:49.600
<v Speaker 3>they needed whatever, and twenty years from now they'll need

0:12:49.640 --> 0:12:54.160
<v Speaker 3>completely different stuff. So why are you freezing it in amber? Well,

0:12:54.160 --> 0:12:56.360
<v Speaker 3>because it's sweeten I live here, and I want to

0:12:56.360 --> 0:13:01.400
<v Speaker 3>protect my property value. At the same time, somebody once

0:13:01.440 --> 0:13:06.720
<v Speaker 3>said to me they were talking about Rome, and they said, yeah,

0:13:06.720 --> 0:13:12.000
<v Speaker 3>we tear down our colosseums, so nobody, no future civilization

0:13:12.120 --> 0:13:14.880
<v Speaker 3>will ever visit our colisseums because we just tear them

0:13:14.920 --> 0:13:17.600
<v Speaker 3>down and build something new, which is better.

0:13:17.760 --> 0:13:18.200
<v Speaker 1>I don't know.

0:13:19.520 --> 0:13:22.360
<v Speaker 2>You win with the comment that everything was very different

0:13:22.400 --> 0:13:23.559
<v Speaker 2>back in nineteen oh six.

0:13:24.160 --> 0:13:28.040
<v Speaker 3>It was very very different. Computers were very slow, no

0:13:28.200 --> 0:13:32.240
<v Speaker 3>Wi Fi at all. No Wi Fi was spotty at best.

0:13:32.320 --> 0:13:33.320
<v Speaker 3>Coverage is spotty.

0:13:33.679 --> 0:13:38.280
<v Speaker 1>The iPhone cameras were crap. They were like twelve pixels.

0:13:38.520 --> 0:13:43.120
<v Speaker 1>Twelve pixels period. You guys want to see something cool.

0:13:43.240 --> 0:13:46.160
<v Speaker 2>My wife and I ran into this yesterday, ironically, nineteen

0:13:46.160 --> 0:13:47.319
<v Speaker 2>oh six San Francisco.

0:13:47.440 --> 0:13:50.720
<v Speaker 3>They have footage of what it was like in San

0:13:50.760 --> 0:13:51.920
<v Speaker 3>Francisco nineteen oh six.

0:13:52.800 --> 0:13:54.120
<v Speaker 1>It's amazing. Yeah, it is.

0:13:54.240 --> 0:13:58.520
<v Speaker 2>It is. If you've seen it slowed down and colorized,

0:13:58.559 --> 0:14:04.239
<v Speaker 2>it's just incredible. Yeah. I love stuff like that. If

0:14:04.280 --> 0:14:06.120
<v Speaker 2>you had a time machine, you could go back and

0:14:06.240 --> 0:14:10.679
<v Speaker 2>just like walk around the street someplace, it be endlessly fascinating.

0:14:11.559 --> 0:14:14.840
<v Speaker 3>Pick a new time like every week, do it a

0:14:14.840 --> 0:14:16.559
<v Speaker 3>few times a year of course.

0:14:16.400 --> 0:14:18.320
<v Speaker 2>She has scratched yourself on a rusty nail, and you'll

0:14:18.360 --> 0:14:19.680
<v Speaker 2>be dead by the end of the day because there's

0:14:19.680 --> 0:14:20.400
<v Speaker 2>no antibiotics.

0:14:20.400 --> 0:14:26.120
<v Speaker 3>But eh, where's that she would have been more careful? Well,

0:14:26.160 --> 0:14:27.680
<v Speaker 3>wait a minute, Wait a minute, wait a minute, No,

0:14:27.720 --> 0:14:28.840
<v Speaker 3>there are no antibiotics.

0:14:28.840 --> 0:14:29.440
<v Speaker 1>That's a good point.

0:14:29.440 --> 0:14:32.320
<v Speaker 3>But if you had a technics shot, that would go

0:14:32.480 --> 0:14:35.040
<v Speaker 3>with you to the other time, right right?

0:14:35.480 --> 0:14:37.520
<v Speaker 2>Well, I guess I don't know. How do time machines work.

0:14:37.640 --> 0:14:39.600
<v Speaker 2>Do your vaccinations go with you in the time machine?

0:14:39.640 --> 0:14:40.120
<v Speaker 2>I assume they.

0:14:40.200 --> 0:14:47.280
<v Speaker 1>Oh, sure they do what I don't know, why would they? Well,

0:14:48.160 --> 0:14:50.520
<v Speaker 1>something to think about. I guess that's it.
