F both Trump and Bush, but I believe this guy has an economics degree because in this video he is cherrypicking the economic indicators like a pro!

Millions of millionaires will be living in space! Haven't you seen Elysium? How do you not love that?
(This joke is not a recommendation of the movie Elysium, it is quite mediocre.)

Do you have to eat at least 100 of the rich or is that more like a high score/stretch goal?

Some of them even had some plastic vegetables :) If they put those on the bottom and placed the last real vegetable on top, it would sell!

Not precisely the same phenomenon, but I once read an article where they interviewed grocers and they said it is impossible to sell the last few pieces in a few basket. Their rationale was that people assume there is something wrong with those pieces.

And the empire grows
The seeds of its glory
For every five tanks

Wow, sounds interesting! Do you have a source where I can read about the precise data and how they define profitability? Are they literally losing money or just not making as much as they could via other, more profitable investments?

Is the premise of this piece that it will be a net loss to own rent stabilized property in NYC, or what is meant by "landlords’ bills pile up"?

Entry Deterrence in the Ready-to-Eat Breakfast Cereal Industry on JSTOR Richard Schmalensee, Entry Deterrence in the Ready-to-Eat Breakfast Cereal Industry, The Bell Journal of Economics, Vol. 9, No. 2 (Autumn, 1978), pp. 305-327

There is a 1977 paper by Schmalensee where he argues that flooding every niche of the market is an entry deterrence tactic.

Mufasa: The Lion King (2024) - Preston Nyman as Zazu - IMDb Mufasa: The Lion King (2024) - Preston Nyman as Zazu

This joke is slightly undercut by the fact that he is not Zazu in the Mufasa movie.

He mentioned it recently on his show.

The counterargument is, if they know they will be prosecuted once out of power, they will be very interested in not leaving power, no matter what.

The Tellerite officers also get upset when the humans ask that they turn on the universal translator 24/7 instead of forcing them to speak about warp physics in Tellerite

There are also some Tellerite characters who are super friendly and keep trying to talk in human slang. They also wear traditional human clothes such as suits or football helmets whenever they meet the humans off-duty.

Idea for a Star Trek show:
It follows a few human crew members on a 90% Tellerite ship. Some of the humans perform exemplary service, and are then reminded by the Tellerites they are only there due to Federation diversity policies.

It's almost like people in fandoms take their enjoyment of the work to an extreme, one might say to fanatical levels

First they came for the LotR fans, and I didn't speak out, because the books are good but the fandom is slightly annoying

This is especially weird considering that there is no accent on it in the Hungarian spelling; the accent is in his last name.
