Robert Kiyosaki, author of the bestselling book Rich Dad Poor Dad, talks about money, teachers, entrepreneurship, school, and mindset. He says a few interesting things, some of them may help you during this Novel Coronavirus Era. In a paragraph or two, please comment on your reactions to his presentation, focusing on a few things:
His comments on school and teachers.
Do you think that either teachers or the school system in engineered to keep knowledge about money / entrepreneurship away from you, as RK says?
How does he differentiate between the 'rich' and the 'poor'.
His comments on school and teachers are not only a bit rough, but also enlightening. Is he right?
I am curious as to your reaction to this video, as it is quite a bit different from some of the others.
Note: Kiyosaki's videos are all pretty good. His book Rich Dad, Poor Dad is also a good read, but in my opinion, his best book is called Cash Flow Quadrant.
If you look up Robert Kennedy Jr. you'll see him called many names. Here is a guy who not only is continuing the Democratic legacy of his father RFK Sr., but is also a strong and effective activist for the environment. His activism doesn't involve screaming "how dare you" to select audiences ... like this:
Bobby Kennedy Jr. actually works to clean up waterways, speaks out agains corporate wrongdoing, and recognizes the dangers behind government / corporate alliances. His criticism is especially withering when he goes after Big Pharma. Everyone hates Big Pharma and its willingness to put profits over people. Everyone hates Big Pharma companies like Merck and its despicable role in the opioid crisis. Everyone hates Big Pharma, except when it comes to vaccines. Then Big Pharma can do no wrong.
RFK Jr. explains himself in this interview. It is more relevant than ever, in this era of The Novel Coronavirus. With Bill Gates, college dropout, talking about having the world get a forced vaccine, people like RFK Jr. become public enemy #1 for their criticisms of Big Pharma and its vaccine business. Interestingly, it turns out RFK Jr. is pro-vaccine. His stance on the issue is even more mellow than I had thought. He simply wants above board testing to ensure that they're safe. But Big Pharma won't even do that, because they don't have to, and an army of ignorant Americans start screaming: "ANTI VAXXER!!" when the subject is brought up. Not only can't Big Pharma get sued, but the Corporate Media and their unthinking followers are helping guarantee their annual massive profits.
The last 3 minutes of the interview explain RFK's position.
From the Youtube page: "Attorney Robert F. Kennedy Jr. of Children's Health Defense joins to discuss the much-touted HPV vaccine, which new evidence shows may be ineffective and why it has done tremendous harm. He also explains how legal loopholes exempt vaccine makers from rigorous testing. He goes on to discuss the revolving door between Big Pharma and the bodies that are supposed to oversee it and curtail its abuses. He argues that regulatory capture has turned the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) into "a vaccine company.""
As people begin to beg for the needle, this interview from January 29th, 2020 is more relevant than ever.
Good Morning everyone. First off, thank you for all of the birthday wishes. I really appreciate that. When we get back into the building have all the gifts and cards ready for me so I can see them. Thank you!
This assignment will be a little different. Pockets of the Future (Paul Romano) looks at Bill Gates and his wife talking about a vaccine for CV19. That seems somewhat mainstream, not necessarily a big deal. What I would like you to do is watch the video, and scroll through the comments. They are not positive.
Please explain, in a well thought out and detailed paragraph, why the comments are a raging backlash against Gates and his wife. Use information from the video as well as your own place in this world to round out your answer.
The use of fear is common. They use it all the time in order to manipulate your behavior. I know what they've made you afraid of this time. We all know.
What happens next time?
Now that they know you'll do whatever it is you're told to do if they say you'll get sick, I wonder what the next thing will be? If there's no sales resistance, then it's pure winnings for them whenever and wherever they decide to manage society. They seem to always win. I wonder why that's the case?
Here is a memetastic look at how they operate. People get angry at images like this, because the Cognitive Dissonance overwhelms them:
You can't just keep everything closed forever. How is that supposed to work?
Singapore will try, but some states are going to begin opening up. Good for them. The cost / benefit analysis that we do with everything else eventually had to take hold.
"Last night, just as Georgia Gov Brian Kemp was beginning his Monday press briefing, the conservative Republican made an announcement that instantly horrified the mainstream media: The state would begin loosening some lockdown restrictions on Friday, and that by Monday, businesses from gyms to beauty salons in his state would be allowed to reopen.
Hundreds of talking heads immediately pointed out that the state is hardly on track to meet the guidelines set out by the White House. But by Tuesday morning, several additional states, including Tennessee and South Carolina, had joined Georgia in planning to begin lifting restrictions before May 1.
As new hotspots continue to form across the country, including in Ohio, Michigan and other states that appear to be headed toward reopening in a few weeks, these states have made the calculation that the damage to their economies simply isn't worth the risk to life and health. Georgians will be able to dine in restaurants again by the end of the day on Monday."

Two quick things from the dumpster fire known as Twitter. This is a political angle from Sean Davis at the Federalist. It's not a bad theory:
And then there's Orange Man Bad, who is NEVER afraid to make hay while the sun shines. This made heads explode all over the internet. Never mind that immigration is practically shut down already, DJT simply had to do his thing. I have to give the guy credit - he knows what buttons to push and how to play with his enemies. Here's the rhetorical shiv:
Dave Chappelle uses many different ways to get his point across in this interview. He speaks about a few topics, and he usually talks about them by using opposites. He speaks about the clash between Art and Hollywood Business, the early life of his career and his father's death, and powers and flaws of Hollywood.
What are the 3 things he brings up here where his rhetorical gifts and techniques are most effective? Express your own opinion as well as analyze Chappelle's techniques and the audience reaction during this live interview.
During this era of The Novel Coronavirus, I am doing the following things. I am trying to stay productive. I also want to make money. So do you. I'm just not afraid to admit it.
I have created a Vimeo page. I love the smooth interface, and the unique feel that differs from Youtube. It was easy to set up and the free plan is pretty good in terms of video storage. The pricing plans are also fair.
The email service I use is called Mailchimp. You can subscribe to my email list here. Mailchimp offered a FREE website - with your personalized address. Free? I can't turn that down, and it's a nice easy way to get people to see who you are. The Freelance Teacher dot Net was available, so I took it!
I also have created a series on Udemy for young adults, or ESL / ENL students who want to learn 'Professional English'. There seems to be a big market for these types of classes. I chose Real Estate first and recorded the 'Real Estate terms' classes, and created the free downloadable documents. It will be published within the next day or two on my Udemy home page. I will add HVAC classes, Teacher certification classes and more this coming month.
I will also put these classes on my Teachable home page. I am selling to anyone on earth with an internet connection. You do the math.
Be productive. Remember this rule: most people will do nothing. Most people complain, are lazy, or wait for the perfect moment.
