25 years from now I expect to see the headline "Bankman Freed". I'm here 'til Thursday folks, you've been great!
Buh-dum-sis!
Amazing how SBF can be sent to jail so fast yet three years down and we're still waiting for Trump to be sentenced for one of his crimes.
He should have tried to be president
I think they’re afraid to put him in prison. I can see riots if it happens.
Same for Hunter Biden. We are still waiting.
I guess you need the right friends for this to work.
The young man who took the same type of documents was arrested for it very very swiftly.
London added a congestion tax about 15-20 years ago and it actually was remarkably effective.
The London Underground is amazing - you can go anywhere, anytime, hassle-free.
I worked near Chelsea and that's so false. Look it up London got some of the worst congestion in the world.
@@tokebak4291Imagine how bad it would be without the congestion charge and a decent underground system.

There’s something unseemly about elected officials and those running for political office having to fund raise. IMO it cheapens the political process and sows seeds of doubt as to whom our elected officials really end up representing. Just my opinion.
I agree! But until a Constitutional Amendment is written to rein it in, it is the system! Congress did pass bipartisan campaign finance reform until SCOTUS ruled it unconstitutional
I always believed that politics, cheapens politics.
I agree but want to add that the public being so effectively swayed by repetitive messaging in choosing their leaders is more to blame for this issue than anything else.
Money is a resource, and Biden has been trailing Trump in polls. I am 100% in favor of him raising as much money as possible. I have worked in outreach and I can tell you there is nothing “unseemly” about donations that support a cause.
Courtesy of the 2010 SCOTUS’ 5-4 Citizens United vs Federal Election Committee case (a reversal of the District Court opinion), which further opened Pandora’s Box with the ability to give unlimited campaign contributions by corporations. It was argued that the First Amendment prohibits government restrictions on independent political expenditures. Hello, bottomless pit of political donations $$$ without any oversight by the FEC.
Fun Fact: Kuhle means hole in German and Schmidt means Blacksmith. So pretty on brand to dig a hole and build a subway. Your ancestors are smiling on you, Grace!

Imagine election campaigns in the U.S.where only limited taxpayer funds were allowed (no unlimited private money), were restricted to only 3 months, and the media was required to donate airtime for ads in the public interest. Maybe then elected officials wouldn't be beholden to the oligarchs and corporations and they could spend more time governing and less time fund raising. Imagine that!
That was Andre Yang's idea. It needs to happen.
@@MrLee-cy1pw Japan already does something similar.
Thank you Supreme Court for making our nation leaders to the mercy of money.

Campaigns should be entirely funded by tax money so that no one can donate more than others.

The solution to traffic is more public transit.
Actually, recent research has found that increasing public transit doesn't reduce traffic and neither does increasing the amount of roads or lanes due to "induced demand." That's why they essentially have to do this kind of pricing model.
@aggy- cite your sources cause that feels like a Reddit thread to me
@@aggy5372 Research has not found that whatsoever. Explain how Amsterdam works.
@@aggy5372Preposterous claim. Have you ever spent time in Europe? It absolutely works when public transit is increased. The second claim you made is correct. Adding more roads doesn’t ease traffic, hence adding public transit helps. You were 50% correct.
@@aggy5372 What if you improve the quality, instead of the quantity?
They need to do a week of Josh Johnson and Dulce Sloan hosting together those two are amazing off eachother!
Why 25 years for Bankman and 0 years for DJT???
One of them has a lot more dirt on people than the other one.
The jury is still out, well... It hasn't started yet.
Sentencing comes after the verdict.
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa !!! Keep melting down loser. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
And, Bankman hasn't been POTUS, nor has a cohort of senators, representatives, justices and judges favoring him, nor armed supporters disposed to throw down the country.
I've never been to New York but I don't imagine people choose to be stuck in traffic every weekday. These people are in need of better alternatives, not a milking.
Well, the idea is to do the milking and then use the funds to create this better alternative
@@GTA5Player1 A fair way to do this would be build now, financed by debt, and use the milk to pay the debt.
That money could be used to provide those alternatives.

Congestion charge worked in London. Lots of asthma deaths are linked to pollution
What evidence do you have that it 'worked' and what do you mean by 'worked?'
Astounding that you mentioned the fundraiser but not the fact that it was interrupted repeatedly and at length by protesters who crashed the party.
Exactly. 2 million people in a concentration camp being murdered and starved being protested by huge crowds at this event and it doesn't even get mentioned. Even the daily show is controlled.
3 words for running for office so you can have hefty retirement even if you lose: CAMPAIGN FINANCE REFORM.🤦
If a person want to give money to a candidate knowing full well the money can just fund their personal lives outside of their hopeful political ambitions, that is the donors right to do so
This is why we need RFK for president
Insider trading reform while we’re at it
Just to throw this out there, you cannot use leftover campaign contributions for personal use.

Nothing new here with congestion tolls. We've had them in Stockholm for over ten years, and you pay both entering and exiting, the amount based on time of day until 18:00. Weekends and summer, when the capital is pretty much deserted, have no tolls. After a six month test, adoption was put up to a referendum vote and, surprise, it passed. How could it not after an investment of 18 billion kronor, and that the non-driving city dwellers out-voted the commuting suburbanites.
Honestly, that Boeing joke at the end was genius.
"they're super cheap right now" got me ngl
"Have you ever heard of subway flashing?" "Yes I know it's a big problem." "Yeah! A lot of people don't even react when you do it." - Okay, that made me laugh out loud by myself, that was gold.
that subway flashing punchline was killer 😂
I think Klepper should be the permanent host.... brilliant
And his hair could co-host
Fun fact: years ago the city had a Commuter Tax, all non-city residents working in the city had to pay it. But in 1999 the people living around the city got their state reps and senators to block NYC from charging this tax. In 2009 the MTA got the state to tax anyone living where the MTA exists in the state, including the city, this is the Mobility or MTA tax.
That fact wasn't fun at all 😥
CA and PA and some other states used to pay full-ride scholarships for a 3.0 GPA
The MCTMT tax charges people who live in Westchester and don't even drive into the city!
@@joanne6875 People grown soft in deference to power accept injustice.
@@TruthrConsequences The trick is, it's full ride "tuition", which at many state schools, is only 1/10th the total cost, or less. I super appreciate the $2500 discount I got decades ago, but the $9000/semester fees made it seem like a cruel joke

I think there needs to be more toll roads in the US and that money should be used for mass transit. It’s embarrassing how backwards the US is in terms of rapid mass transit.
Come check the tolls in nyc. You wouldn’t be saying this if you lived here.
How about raising taxes on the rich? Think outside making poor people pay more for everything.

He can do both.
He is different when he hosts, far more direct and stinging in his commentary. Like when he does Fingers the pulse (hilarious name btw) he is far more subtle in ways with facts he slides into conversations and uses their own words (the maga morons) against them haha.
I miss Roywood Junior.
As a daily subway rider, this congestion pricing will hurt us too! I am going to end up like a sardine with the loads of people more taking the subway with me.
Won't they be using the extra money from the congestion charge and increased fares to improve the service? Plus more riders means more political incentive to improve the subway system.
@@jacobwiens659 It's not that easy. The tax will hit much faster than improvements can be implemented. It's the one thing the anti-car lobby tends to mess up around the globe: you have to build the alternatives first, then hassle the drivers. If you do it the other way round, you'll end up with the same traffic problems, but now the car people are more resentful for being milked. In my home country (Germany) public transport is by far the cheapest way to get around. Still, only about 10 % of commuters do it.
@@Volkbrecht that 10 percent heavily depends on city. in Berlin where public transport is very extensive, a lot more people use it, too. I think I recall that the plurality of trips is made by public transport, here.
@@jacobwiens659 Yeah right. That’s what all the politicians SAY!
biking should get safer immediately when there are fewer cars
The congestion pricing issue is representative of everything that plagues public transportation (and infrastructure in general) in the US - we want everything fixed, but we don't want to pay anything for it.
Why spend on infrastructure if you can spend it on bombs?
Like "free" healthcare. Australia has "free" healthcare, but a percentage of tax goes towards paying for it. Norway has lots of "free" everything but their progressive tax rate allows for this.
Yeah why tax the billionaires and millionaires when we can squeeze more money from people living paycheck to paycheck?
Re NYC Tolls. We've had tolls (London Congestion Charge) in London for 20 years- it has not made a jot bit of difference to congestion. And now they have added another congestion toll (Ulez Charge), so we have 2x charges if we want to motor into London, both are now 24/7. They gave us the same BS reasons it needed doing. None of the money went into improving public transport, just rich shareholders pockets.
Going to see Klepper on tour! 💃
The problem isn't Bitcoin, the problem was Fried and FTX
NYC is getting congestion charging. Basically, it makes it harder for the low paid to drive into the city, but will make absolutely no difference to the well off. For practical reasons, there are many low paid workers and families who need to drive into NYC and they will be even more broke because of this. Number plate based systems would be fairer.
When I lived in Greece, there was a system for driving on weekends, based on odd /even numberplates. This was back in the '80's, so not sure if it still exists. Driving in Athens at the time was unbearable.
@@sheilaboston7051 sounds fairer to all!

I’ve found that, including transfers, taking the train results in a quicker and more consistent commute. This country needs better rapid transit.

"Scotland was 'hoodwinked' by Donald Trump, says former aide"
The man who helped broker the deal for Donald Trump's first Scottish golf resort says the country was "hoodwinked" by the ex-president's claim it would be a £1bn project. Neil Hobday was the project director for Mr Trump's controversial course in Aberdeenshire, which opened in 2012. Mr Trump said he would spend £1bn on the scheme - but this did not happen
@@argustuft Yes, the plans were to build a heap of accommodation, with projected jobs, income and benefit to Scotland. I guess 'hoodwinked' could be classed as another term for 'lies'.
@@argustuftDid he not fall out with the Scottish government because he was trying to stop them having an offshore windfarm within sight of the course and when the Scottish Govt didn't budge, he stomped off in a big huff. Only time I actually liked something Salmond did.

Let’s be real, the rich people won’t even sweat it if the toll was $150. The change would just disproportionately affect less wealthy drivers. Unless NYC improves public transit + sets daily road vehicle quotas, the congestion issue isn’t likely to improve or disappear. 🤨
I feel dumber just reading everything you wrote
its just another reason people will move away from new york. You should see how much they pay for day care.
1) If you’re talking about millionaires, then yeah, they won’t care about the fee whether $15, $150, or maybe even $300. Billionaires probably spend even more on their cars, but there are a *lot* more non-millionaires in nyc who wouldn’t want to pay your $150 ($37,000/yr by workdays) and still some who won’t want to pay the $15. 2) The system of funding infrastructure by registration fees, gas taxes, and sales tax, already disproportionately affects low-income drivers. The program nyc is implementing specifically offers discounts to low-income drivers (about 25% discount on average for daily commuters), so it is already better than the current system (where transit riders subsidize the drivers) in funding for infrastructure for income-equity. The program will also be using its revenue to improve the transit system (the funds will be used for capital improvements and not to cover operating costs), which low-income people are more likely to benefit from. 3) Improving public transit is very much a goal of the program. Also wdym by “road vehicle quota”? MTA has bus schedules for every bus line, is that not a quota? 4) It’s estimated that the program will cause 17% fewer vehicles to enter the Central Business district and 9% fewer miles driven in there. It’s also expected to reduce congestion outside the area with less commutes (although not by much).
The congestion charges will generate $1B+ a year, all of which will go towards improving public transit.
If you're below a certain income bracket, you don't have to pay the fee.
Just give this man the show ❤
About fifteen to twenty years ago, London implemented a congestion tax, and it was surprisingly successful.
the amount of money spent on your never ending elections is obscene

3:20 the problem with a flat fee is that it hurts the poor and has no effect on the rich. It should be tied to the value of your vehicle… a broken pile of junk $1 a Bugatti SUV $100,000 because those amounts are equal for the types of people that own those types of cars.
The congestion pricing hits working class people heavily. It's disgusting. How are service workers supposed to pay that?
Driving in cars is only for rich people, silly rabbit.
shut up and pay your tax , some democrat said somewhere
(Fun Bonus Trivia: thanks to red-lining, there's actually a particular group of people that tend to commute from those nice, quiet, clean suburbs. And another random group got the noise and the pollution... and the evictions so the highways, roads and parking could be built... And the devalued property due to noise and pollution that made it even easier to evict them in the future to widen those roads further to accommodate even more commuters, leading to even more noise and pollution... Here's the fun part: guess which is which!)
Actually, people below a certain income level get to go through free with the new regulation.

London has congestion charges, it’s a nightmare
They need to do this in las Vegas. There are way too many people in this small city and way too many cars on the road. What used to take about 15 minutes to get to now takes about an hour, if you're lucky. Oh yeah, and thanks infrastructure BS, most of our roads are tore up making it a disaster to drive anywhere. If anyone knows Las Vegas,they know that when they start tearing up and fixing roads here it can take 10plus years ex... Decatur Blvd was torn up from 1990 to present.

Does Grace write her own material? Yikes!
Some funny lines and “L waits for you” scary and funny.
Drivers going into London pay a toll. It may have helped cut down on the endless congestion.
Cities are for their residents, and residents should always be prioritized over commuters. Basic urban planning and design.
Yup, commuters are generally terrible for city finances. They wear out the infrastructure and take their pay somewhere else. Especially in New York it makes no sense to drive because you have such excellent transit!
europeans have had congestion charges for decades, it works, and if the tax is acctualy used to increase mass transit in the tity, and not squanderd on some pet project of the mayor, NY will see improvments in life, better air quality, less cars on the road, less maintenance, soon NY will be thinking of pedestrianising some roads maybe eh, eh, ?

I would love to have a liebovitz photo with those presidents
I live Cambridge, UK. They proposed a congestion fee for people driving into the city. This targets people driving in and people who live in the city driving across or out of it. We've protested this vehemently because this disproportonately impacts lower income people and those who don't have access to train or bus lines. The rich can afford it and won't care. I'm all for reducing vehicular traffic, improving air quality, and the like, but the city has to provide affordable alternatives for people to get to work or they'll only succeeed in angering citizens.
Klepper beard is EVERYTHING. Hella DILF 😍
