Speaker 0 (0s): Good morning America. Good morning. My friends hope you had a great weekend. We're back here on Monday. Just getting ready to start this week off the right way. Hope you guys had a great weekend. You guys do anything fun. You get to hang out a little bit. I got to interview a really amazing guy that if you look at the podcast history, you'll see a part one and a part, two of a mr. Adam Lopez, highly. I highly urge you to check it out and check out that guy's a webpage and information.

He's an interesting cat. He's one of us. He's one of us man from the back of a cop car to the studios in Nashville. This guys pretty much done it all. And he's got a pretty good philosophy on life as well. So if you haven't checked those out, go back and check them out. So I did that this weekend. Additionally, I had some, some time to think just about the reality of our situation and how crazy this time of year is, especially in an election year.

And it just got me thinking about why are things the way they are? Have they always been this way? Are they changing? And I came up, I did a little research on our, on our economic environment. And it's amazing what you can find. If you just take a little bit of time to look and see what's happening, not only in your neck of the woods, but on a global scale in my house, I have like one wall, that's all wallpapered and it's a big map and it's really changed the way I see the world.

It's really interesting to wake up everyday and you just see where you are in the world. And then, because that map is on the wall. And because that map is part of your daily routine, when you hear news, or when you hear anything about the world, you're much more tuned into it. Cause you have this visual and it's easier to understand the demographics. It's easy or to understand the supply chains. And I think that's a good segue into what, what it is I want to kind of get into today.

And it is about supply chains. It's about supply chains, mega cities, special economic zones, and a sort of new world disorder. You may have heard me previously talk about a book called Connectography with dr. Parag Conner. And I've been revisiting this book. I've been revisiting this book connect Connectography and I think a good companion book with it is technocracy.

One is written in the form of a positive view. And the second is written in the form of a dystopian view. And it's really interesting when you read both of these books together, because they talk about similar things. However, they talk about I'm in an orthogonal position. Does that make sense? Like, so they're at odds with each other. It's almost like one is written and then the other is a criticism of it today.

I want to give you a little bit more perspective on dr. Pirog Kaunas view of supply chains in the world being connected. The reason I would like to do that is I believe he gives a lot of advice and insight onto what is happening in our world today. So with that being said, let me, you know what, let me first premise it with this.

There's a really large push right now for public private partnerships in our nation, in the United States. And while it may be newer to us, it's not new to the rest of the world. In fact, it is a strategy most commonly used in third world nations. If you read the book, technocracy Patrick Woodville, that's the author of the book.

Technocracy he'll describe the public private partnership as akin to Mussolini's fascism. And if you listen to Noam Chomsky, he'll tell you that every single government in the world is fascist. It's just a matter of degrees. So when I think about public private partnerships being from California, I think of the deregulation of the electric companies.

That may be one of the first ones I remember cause I was in college when that happened and it was being hailed as a milestone for our government, for our inefficient, inefficient, any effective government to just get out of the way. So private corporations could come in and really make things effective and efficient and better for the people and everyone's going to make money and it's just going to be glorious. However, that's not what happened.

Private companies came in and they deregulated and they took over the luxury plans. And for maybe a decade, they made them really profitable. However, they made them really profitable by undermining their foundations. A good way to think about this is to think about that movie Goodfellas, where the guy has a really nice restaurant and Joe Pesci, his character comes in and he just runs up this huge tab.

Cause he's a gangster and you know, the owner's afraid of him. So he never makes him pay his tab. Well, eventually the restaurant owner gets fed up and he goes to the mob boss. He goes to Joe Pesci, his boss Pauline. He's like, Hey Paulie, why don't you? And I, why don't you? And I go into this business together, why don't you buy half of this business? And you know, we'll do it together. You always in here. And you know, you can help with a few problems. You know, this guy, Joanne Payne. And so Paulie agrees and it's the worst mistake ever for the restaurant.

Think of it as a public private partnership. And what happens is Paulie just runs up the credit on the restaurant. He takes out more credit. He runs it up. He takes out a second on the land, on the building. He runs up the credit until the credit is so bad. They'll never pay it back. And when that happens, then they set the restaurant on fire and burn it down and take the insurance money. You see that is the model for public private partnerships. And that's exactly what happened in Northern California with the electric companies, when there was a public private partnership, anyone who lived there, anyone who lives in California knows that the reason there were so many fires in Northern California was because the electric companies stopped maintaining the lines.

They stopped maintaining the growth and trees around the lines. They cut the employees, they cut everything in order to make a profit. And even when they were warned that the trees were getting too close to the lines, even when they were warned, the lines were beaten to malfunction. They did nothing because it wasn't economically viable for them to do so. They had insurance. They don't need, they don't want to send people out on a Sunday to go fix it. Downline cost too much money.

They have to make a profit. And so what happened is countless lives were lost. The, the billions of dollars in damage that was done not only to people's property, but to the environment is catastrophic. And no one was held responsible. In fact, the companies that bought the electric field electric companies and were responsible for the damage.

They filed bankruptcy and they were protected by the state. After that they raised the rates of electricity to pay for the cost of, of their own malfeasance. You see that's public private, privatized, the profits, socialized losses.

And there's a huge push right now in our country to privatize everything. In fact, there will be no zero work on infrastructure until things are privatized. I think that's a big part of what's coming down the pipe and it doesn't matter if it's buy it in. And it doesn't matter if it's Trump, the public, the privatization of everything. I mean everything, parking meters, freeways, parking, lots schools, shopping center, everything is going to be privatized.

And it's going to be done under the guise of an ineffective and inefficient government, which there's a lot...
