Macron to the Rescue

  Emmanuel Macron, the French President, decides to not rule out sending troops to the Ukraine. This issue is still causing waves.  And the image is still AI and ditto with mobile phone into size.  

Nikki Haley: The Cheeseburger Scenario

  An alternative scenario for the reasons behind the continuing run of Nikki Haley for the Republican Party of America's presidential candidate.  This was the first time I inserted at the beginning of the video and introduction done in Microsoft's Designer. I was unaware in the first attempt that I needed to change the size of the intro in Designer, hence the mobile phone format. This video was a real exercise in wishful thinking: Nikki Haley was never going to get near Trump. The 'Cheeseburger Scenario' refers to a quote from a female Republican supporter's answer to a reporter's question as to why she was voting Haley. It was a tongue-in-check remark regarding Trump's diet! Interestingly, the quote was published in the original Wall Street Journal story, only to be removed later, never to be seen again. By the way, the image used for this video is still AI generated.   G M T Y Detect language Afrikaans Albanian Amharic Arabic Armenian Assamese Aymar...

A.I. Artificial Intelligence

  The Wayrider views on what it is, what it might be and what it could be.  At over 15 minutes long, and looking back at it, this video is perhaps too long. However, it forms the basis for all my subsequent AI related videos, so perhaps being too long is fine.  

Ukraine Taking the Other Side

  In financial markets, when everyone looks in the same direction, it a good idea to take the other side, and take the other way.  A touch of wishful thinking here, although the basic discussion of doing the opposite of what everyone else is doing or saying, holds true.  

State Capture Immigration and Climate Change

  On how climate change is not the primary driver for rampant African migration - rampant corruption by the ruling elites is.  A third video on State Capture.

State Capture and Illegal Immigration

  On how state corruption provides fuel for the illegal immigration flows into Europe and North America.  A continuation of the “African” problem of Sate Capture or the stealing from public run companies that have effects on everyone. How this drives what is basically economic immigration.

Navalny or How to Die for Your Country

  Observations on the death of Navalny in the contexts of history, your country, and your futures .   Nothing to add.. ..

History Kills Us

  Our personal and collective history is tremendously important, as it's what makes us. Only certain world leaders ruthlessly exploit this history, which can end up killing us.  Sometimes you get lucky:  — this video was published two days before Navalny died.

Lets Talk About Crypto - Part (2) Volatilty

  An explanation of how price movements compare between a cryptocurrency and the dollar, and what these movements mean to business and people to transfer money from one side of the world to the other.  Ditto — nothing new here video editing-wise.

On Inflation, Interest Rates and the RBNZ

How, on the many occasions, the New Zealanders are ahead of everyone else. Here, The Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) could be heralding moves by other major central banks.  Again, nothing new from an editing perspective. Although it's interesting that the opinion given in the clip, namely that the RBNZ would be raising interest rates, was wrong. Prediction is a mug's game, the only caveat for myself in this case is that it was not my prediction. Big deal — my tea-leaf reading was off. But(!): the point about the Kiwi's (New Zealanders) is, however, valid.       G M T Y Detect language Afrikaans Albanian Amharic Arabic Armenian Assamese Aymara Azerbaijani Bambara Bashkir Basque Belarusian Bengali Bhojpuri Bosnian Bulgarian Catalan Cebuano Chichewa Chinese Simp Chinese Trad Chuvash Corsican Croatian Czech Danish Dhivehi Dogri Dutch Emoji English Esperanto Estonian Ewe Filipino Finnish French Frisian Galician Georgian German Greek Gujarati Haitian Creole Hausa Ha...
