that the democrats and their media keep on blaming on other nations so that cantillon effect which allows you know the printing of money that inflates asset prices like stock prices like bond prices like real estate prices especially at those the closer you are to the money printers and there's no bigger money printer than the new york fed so if you live near the new york fed your properties going to be expanding paris london all the big cities across the world hong kong maybe hong kong as might be falling apart now but that money printing is what is causing that sense of injustice of an in there thinking it's an economic injustice when in fact it's an a monetary and justice that is happening so i want to turn to this other thread that kind of went viral and you know it's one guy's take on some data that was

released recently from the government so you know it's one take but we're going to look at this take because i think it brings up some good points it's a tweet stream from orrin cass he's the executive director of american compass whose stated mission is to restore an economic consensus that emphasizes the importance of family community and industry to the nation's liberty and prosperity so there is that here's this 1st tweet i'm going to read some of them of this 16 thread tweet how is it that our economic statistics suggest workers have been making slow but steady progress in recent decades while popular perception is that their family finances are coming under increasingly untenable pressure i've been working on this and here is my answer punchline popular perception is correct in 1985 the typical male worker could cover a family of 4 is major expenditures housing health care transportation education on 30 weeks of sad. by 2018 it took 53 weeks which is

a problem as there are only 52 weeks in the year so i mean you can see from the chart here housing is memorising but mostly health insurance health insurance is a big component of these added costs and transportation and college is another big additional cost people talk about infrastructure and we think about infrastructure think about roads and bridges and tunnels but there's also the financial infrastructure and the financial infrastructure in america and much of the world is 18th century it's a model that has not worked for more than 150 years and this can tell in effect is the result of faulty money infrastructure where the money is printed in d.c. and is stopped simultaneously and pervasively distributed equitably throughout the economy it goes to bunch of intermediaries the primary banks the primary dealers on wall street except aurora and every time it goes through these layers it loses its potency and by the time the average person gets it they're now paying 30 percent

more for health insurance than they were the year before and that's a problem of distribution now in the block chain model you've got thousands of computers globally that are updated simultaneously that is an infrastructure improvement to the way money is just created and distributed big coin being the best of the best but in the u.s. and around the world they're still using this antiquated infrastructure that is like using plumbing or some other infrastructure from 150 years ago it's obviously out of date but it serves the interests of a few folks well and they hold the keys to power and now we have this all feel system and it's a command and control they call it capitalism but it is a form of command and control whereby the federal open market committee this committee of you know academics who on paper they try to organize. the

manage micro-manage the economy so that this guy or in cas he's asking like how is this so wrong how are the media and political and financial elite how are they seeing the how it is for the rest kaname for the rest of the workers like how did they how did the disconnect happen and obviously there is the issue of inflation because of course inflation has been very low they say there's always low inflation. so they do all those adjustments and have donek adjustments some people say it's all a conspiracy but in a way it's also just them in an ivory tower not understanding the world around them for example or in cast says our inflation adjusted data says that car prices have not increased since the mid 1990 s. obviously that's not remotely true what economists are saying is that cars have gotten better so the higher sticker price doesn't reflect inflation and reflects

higher quality again fair enough but we have to recognize that the median family must now pay for health insurance and will not use the cure last 20 years the typical family health care consumption has gone up by 2000 but their premium has gone up by 13000 no wonder they feel worse off you know in terms of this all the donek adjustment that goes on between you know from cars to health care to you know university costs you still need a car to get to work in most places in america. it still costs you more money but because it's better they're saying that you got more for at this this computer packs a whole bunch more power than it did 10 years ago and so they they they deduced that they deduct that from the inflation and the same thing with health care but it's actually really eating into the cost but all the elite immediately it's the corporate elites all those people who who are the 1st in on the console in a factory where they get the free money they don't feel this inflation to the same

extent that everybody else says so again just like just like at the bottom people come up with conspiracy theories about inflation numbers at the top they're doing the same thing they're coming up with conspiracy theories of like why are the ordinary people so upset with everything that must be some sort of mind control via a means like that because the economy is doing great we know this because look at the data look at the look at the inflation numbers is all great right in fact they're experiencing deflation because they can tell in effect means that the assets that are being bought let's say property in new york city as collateral goes up at a greater pace than even the money printing so if you're borrowing against your asset that was inflated due to money printing to buy food at the store you'll notice that in fact the spend at the store is less relative to the appreciation of your assets so you're thinking well life's great i guess everything's cheaper for me but in terms of these adamic adjustments i mean this represents

a centrally an opt in moat so there's a moat around the castle where the money printers live and they protect that moat through obtuse cation they're saying that the computer is actually not this value it's a different value of believe the word the greeks came up with would be solid cism the misuse of language utterly and completely to confuse and distort larry summers is a brilliant orator and writer when he appears in the financial times he writes perfect jibberish but in a way that eh. very academic motherhood due to flee like jim is larry but at the end of the day he's just protecting his moat was obvious cation well speaking of moat throughout so you that last tweet of orange passes that i read you know where costs that the health care consumption so actually how much health care you use in real life the average american over the last 20 years went from it has gone up

by 2000 that's it your cost went up from basically to spend 700 you suspend 2122 in 1909 that's what the average american spent 2122 in real health care costs now is 4380 average american actually consumes 4380. how much for your call actual premiums how much you pay the fire sector the you know finance insurance and real estate how much you pay to wall street for that well the average american in premiums pays 18764 you can see that gap you can see how that huge gap max this is the injustice happening this is the cantillon effect this is them getting all the money this is what people are upset about they could try to pretend that it's some meaning that has undermined the faith. in institutions

like the federal reserve like the treasury like the congress but that right there shows you that you're spending a whole lot more for not much more well let's return to the subject of financial illiteracy the democrats and bernie sanders so your chart very graphically demonstrates that the cost of health care from a year would be approximately $4000.00 and yet i'm being charged $18000.00 so there's 814000 spread that's a subsidy government is allowing going to health insurance executives they're getting a $14000.00 per household subsidy if our bernie sanders i would show that chart on the screen and say elect me president and everyone who is a victim of this scam gets a $14000.00 charitable donation against their taxes right because it's a i'm making a charitable donation to the insurance company executives of about $14000.00

a year i should get a tax write off i mean ok i'm willing to take that tax write off i need it in this in a high tax environment that's the argument bernie sanders would make it was shut bloomberg down immediately because not even bloomberg is financially illiterate to that level well. we have to take a break and when we come back much more coming your way so don't go away. should we have a much better 17 years we could have have a much more prosperous iraq a stable iraq yes as their. mistakes happen absolutely. made things about time by far they could've should've have made. those not taken away from the flag. stood up to romney. dictator who was blood thirsty and he

participated in the murder and killing of hundreds of thousands of iraqis or millions of more of the around and then the invasion of kuwait and saudi. in the troubled 19 seventies a group of killers rampage 3 parts of northern ireland that was coordinated loyalists attacks protect the only catholic population in belfast tens of thousands were forced to flee their homes come up with strike and put these attacks was a p.r. you see the police actually took part in the attacks so instead of preventing them they were active participants in the burning of coal streets in belfast at the time more than a 100 innocent civilians were unloaded as the review can seniors and we found out more i was surprised about the extent and of the cranes which the collusion was

involved in some of those cases that killers would later be named into the nanny gang and i think it went to the very very top i think it frosts the water where politicians you thought was going on and give the go ahead. and have a 7th is later systematics know how that is not for. them the. clerestory camp. actually an area where. there is no no no not. in a way at all of them ok it. was not a master plan

a call with the battle they had laid. it was that it would allow that to be. the one that had. the people. give the nod not. what the how they were not allowed the assume. and not those they need the whole court to go before. why didn't. someone i think she was just an honest. welcome back to the kaiser report imax keyser let's now turn to alex legal of layer one this is are going to be about mining mining as

a huge part of the bitcoin ecosystem welcome to the show alex i thank you very much for having me all right and so you have just raised your company have just raised 50000000 dollars from billionaire investor peter teal for a layer one what is it you're dealing in taxes alex bunch of different things but effectively the approach the layer one takes is that of vertical integration. which means that we have full control over every cost and profit lever in the because of my mix stack so that covers everything from. factoring our own custom chips we build our own cooling and mining infrastructure that is very scalable 'd and modular and plug and play and we have our own our procurement and development which means that we basically get the cheapest possible electricity at scale in the world and vertically integrated all of the different aspects of the

big point my mixed allow us to become the most efficient equipment company in the world so i read somewhere that the goal is to capture 25 percent of global big going mining right now you've got approximately 50 percent in china and so is that correct is that a goal of trying to capture maybe 25 percent of the global big point mining market alex yeah absolutely i mean we would be doing this if we wouldn't have very ambitious goals and i think the distribution is even more skewed towards china so the numbers that we or over 60 percent. you and he kind of makes sense because they coined a sick start in 2013 and china is a very minute factoring driven economy whereas the united states is kind of a mass they did sell into

a software and i nationalization based economy and for that reason because the last 7 or 8 years and a big climb i mean history were all about do i have the facts it's chips do i have the most. cutting edge mining machines in the fast as amount of time well if they mainly get produced 'd in china which they did and you had very successful companies like maine or cannot forth come out. well then the path of least resistance would lead miners to locate in china where they could always source the most efficient mining hardware. bason anybody else and also install them faster than anybody else but now because provably development cycles have been extended for that much longer and every 6 months a new generation of chips coming out it will now be a multi-year effort and business cycle the engine along a lot isn't do i have the fastest ships in the fastest amount of time that's

relatively commodity at this point what truly matters is your operational expenses and those are trying merrily a function to see pricing hence your electricity pricing and the ability to take advantage of it efficiently if you're cooling is what matters most and we believe and factually at this point we know that the cheapest electricity in the well that scale is west texas and for that reason. it's symptomatic of the been nascent c. of the industry that it 1st started out in china but as it matures the unit economics and the business models. underpinning that industry change fundamentally over time and it's a natural consequence of that because of work quickly one and others the hash rate will significantly. shift towards being u.s. based now this is actually there's 2 levels to this number one is the examination

of the business case and then number 2 which is i think going to be exciting for any bitcoin are out there is that anyone who had questions about chinese having dominance in mining this is fantastic news because now the mining and the hazaras going to be distributed more geographically and so there's going to be more competition in this industry far as chips go and the seeking of cheaper electricity as you mention which makes the network more secure waits of alternately will make the price go higher and. let's talk about the electricity 1st 2nd so you're saying it's the cheapest in the world but from what i understand is the your equipment is also taking advantage of some proprietary cooling technologies which is a factor as well how for so 2 questions how how much cheaper is your electric

tricity cost and then what about these cooling it isn't that kind of an added cost or is that all factored in what do you think alex 1st of all read the beauty of economic incentive allotments there's a there's economic reasons for being hashed hour to the united states because you can make money that way and the secondary effect of that is that it actually improves. you know. because of security and you know. sort of distribution symmetry of hashing out support so that's it's just economics want to go on recess which is sort of the simple beauty of it and then in terms of the interest the uprising in west texas well west texas or texas in general is the most deregulated energy market within the united states the biggest wind energy market on 6th biggest solar energy market. it is a very mature market in terms of having seen multiple cycles within the energy industry and has a very mature and well established. infrastructure pertaining to

you know all types of services and skills 'd and crafts that are necessary to build the appropriate infrastructure also predict when mining and for that reason in general prices. a very attractive market market price. and. the problem however especially in west texas is that it's it's very hot and so in the summertime it can get over 100 degrees 110 degrees fahrenheit perhaps even more you have a huge temperature delta where the winds are you can also get extremely cold. so the task is to find a way to have high density high scalable and very robust cooling infrastructure that does not counterbalance any pricing advantage that you might get so for example it would absolutely be logistically possible to do

air quote mining and in west texas however you would have to pay so so much more in terms of cooling your machines and running and maintaining everything that it would completely counterbalance any price you get that if you would have because of the market price. so what we have been developing for at this point. 3 and a half years now and you know that's part of. intellectual property where one is also an english point which. is a plug and play high density liquid cooled mining container technology and effectively what that allows you to do is have your mining machines be conclude be unaffected by air temperature and it does so with minimal additional power draw so effectively is extremely efficient and allows you to take advantage of the

very cheap pricing which. will be having to pay that much more in terms of your maintenance i get the point about energy cost being low now if pickle is viewed as a strategic asset by governments going forward as they do gold or other foreign reserves what about the risk if you can call it that of government subsidizing energy you know china could subsidize energy will america step in and understand this is a strategic reserve because right now they're losing the battle with 5 g. china's running away of $500.00 technology the u.s. is not competing at all they're trying to sanction people instead of competing so is that going to be an issue going forward i think it depends on how you frame it to the government so one way of framing would be you have because i mean be the 1st instance trubel digital star city in the world where there's nothing been like it before it's it's a truly scaurus and valuable resource that is currently sort of emancipating itself

and fostering this very interesting. ecosystem well. if it is going to be a source competition between china and us then it lies within the us best interest in order to generate as much cash rate and decline as possible if there's a non-zero chance a big one will be that much bigger future and the interesting side effect of. what we do in our business. is with you can effectively think of each of these containers as an inverse battery. the reason being effectively in the real world in factory is in west texas or anywhere else it takes days or weeks to shut off power and electricity and if there's ever for example our short term. you know catastrophe where there's power loss etc things break literally so

'd the difference here being that we have a significant amount of power drop or container however we can do high frequency trading off and on these machines because it's effectively an instant software command where we just press the button so what happens is that. true the body and we get paid a premium for that by the market there is programs you can subscribe to where we actually act as a grid stabilizer because what happens is that we always keep a constant demand on the grid especially when for example in the winter time in the winter time when there is less electricity demand in texas however when there's ever a grid overload we can instantly turn off our machines and effectively free up that capacity for the rest of the market because you know it's likely people suffer if they can't turn on the ac and it's 110 degrees fahrenheit outside or this technology sounds great i mean you've got the pride terry chips you've got

proprietary cooling you're you're getting cheap energy a it's the name of the company is layer one you've got a $50000000.00 razor blade a $200000000.00 valuation peter teal is certainly involved in a big way i think back to the future our friends over back to the future with simon dixon are allowing their users to have access to this deal so if you are back to the future. or i would recommend you taking taking a look at that i've talked to mark hughes go up morgan creek about this d.l. he's yet to get back to me yet mark hello words mark hughes go calling marcus go. so let me just fine a lot finish this up by asking a little bit. about the chips now were they manufactured or do you manufacturing these chips you know absolutely we're doing. there are produced in taiwan and so

that sounds good actually all right so alex legal thanks so much for coming on the show i know the start up of this nature you guys are crushed for time and i really appreciate taking the time to come and talk to us thanks for being on the kaiser report yes thank you so much for having me really enjoyed this that's going to do it for this edition of the kaiser report with me max kaiser and stacey herbert join to catch us on twitter it's kaiser report until next time by. nuclear become a battleground in the u.s. in vermont people of demanding the shutdown of a local plant from mike is right now my focus because it's a very dangerous nuclear power plant the owner is attempting to run the reactor beyond its operational limits this case just sort of puts

a magnifying glass on where's the power in this country where's it going is it moving more towards corporate interests who or is it more in the idea of a traditional participatory democracy is or powerline with the people this case demonstrates that struggle in a very real way. a struggle. thousands of american men and women choose to sort of in the coming. is military and the decision a little sheltered lives every song came to a complete. the day that i was raped. you know told to shut up what they'd kill me and i see how it destroyed my life then he screamed at me and he made me come in and you grab my own arm and he rape me this bird think area if you take into account that women don't report because of the extreme retaliation it's probably somewhere near about half a 1000000 women have now been sexually assaulted in the us military is

a very very traumatizing thing tat happen but i've never seen trauma like i've seen women who are veterans who suffered military sexual trauma reporting rape is more likely to get the victim punished than the offender and almost 10 year career which i was very invested in and i gave a sex offender who was not even put to justice or put on the registry this is simply an issue of tower and violence male sexual predators for the large part of target whoever is there to prey upon whether that's men or women. the point is should we actually be charging for it because this is when we charge with things it is because it's a benefit to the person. that's the audiology to education about 30 or 40 years ago but the perspective of education was originally that education is a benefit for saudi in general i wouldn't want to live in a saudi without doctors or engineers to happen without. seeing it or

being a prophet benefit and ignoring the public means that we're ignoring the skill bias we need for a sophisticated saudi and putting the burden of that school on the individuals and what we're turned it into is just another try and institution. and become a form of a version of a realist that is not the bisons for a functional saudi. the world is driven by driven. shaped by some person those with. no dares thinks. we dare to ask.
