This Flashback Friday is from episode 449, published last 8 December 2014. Jason Hartman brings in a real estate focus to the introduction of today's Creating Wealth Show by explaining exactly how you can work out your rent-to-value ratio. As this is one of the most important figures a real estate investor need to keep in mind, there's no excuse for deceiving yourself. Later, he invites Tim Carney, author of The Big Rip-Off and Obamanomics and writer for the Washington Examiner to come on the show and give his thoughts about the huge and potentially irreversible impact that big business and big Government are having on America. They also discuss topics such as human rights to information and what you say when Goldman Sachs offers you a position. Key Takeaways 03.27 In some markets, you can't control the rent-to-value ratio, but you really want to aim for 1% per month or above. 11:01 Seemingly, the bigger you get, the more you can get away with. 14.44 Tim Carney provides some examples where regulation seems to have an alternate outcome to what was hoped. 18.38 A look at the options of how we can possibly dislodge the power of big business and government.  19.45 Politics and the economy are starting to work together because fewer people are now gaining from a specific policy. 22:16 Government agencies don't even have to worry about subtlety; if they want you they'll do what they can to get you. 24:00 Why is it that they can spy on us and we get no information about Government actions, even when they affect us? 25.41 Big business benefits from and lobbies for big Government to the detriment of the consumer, the competitor and the tax payer.  28:10 Technology could be our undoing or it could be our liberation. We'll have to wait and see. 30.28 To read Tim's articles, head to  www.WashingtonExaminer.com and his Fellowship is with the American Enterprise Institute: www.AEI.org    Mentioned in this episode The Big Rip-Off by Tim Carney Obamanomics by Tim Carney www.AEI.org www.WashingtonExaminer.com   Follow Jason on TWITTER, INSTAGRAM & LINKEDIN Twitter.com/JasonHartmanROI Instagram.com/jasonhartman1/ Linkedin.com/in/jasonhartmaninvestor/ Call our Investment Counselors at: 1-800-HARTMAN (US) or visit: https://www.jasonhartman.com/ Free Class:  Easily get up to $250,000 in funding for real estate, business or anything else: http://JasonHartman.com/Fund CYA Protect Your Assets, Save Taxes & Estate Planning: http://JasonHartman.com/Protect Get wholesale real estate deals for investment or build a great business – Free Course: https://www.jasonhartman.com/deals Special Offer from Ron LeGrand: https://JasonHartman.com/Ron Free Mini-Book on Pandemic Investing: https://www.PandemicInvesting.com

Choice Classic Radio presents Dragnet, which aired from 1949 to 1957. Today we bring to you the episode titled “The Big Rip.”   Please consider supporting our show by becoming a patron at http://choiceclassicradio.com We hope you enjoy the show!

When it comes to the eventual end of our universe, cosmologists have a few classic theories: the Big Crunch, where the universe reverses its expansion and contracts again, setting the stars themselves on fire in the process. Or the Big Rip, where the universe expands forever—but in a fundamentally unstable way that tears matter itself apart. Or it might be heat death, in which matter and energy become equally distributed in a cold, eventless soup.These theories have continued to evolve as we gain new understandings from particle accelerators and astronomical observations. As our understanding of fundamental physics advances, new ideas about the ending are joining the list. Take vacuum decay, a theory that's been around since the 1970s, but which gained new support when CERN confirmed detection of the Higgs Boson particle. The nice thing about vacuum decay, writes cosmologist Dr. Katie Mack in her book The End of Everything: (Astrophysically Speaking), is that it could happen at any time, and would be almost instantaneous—painless, efficient.The End Of Everything is our SciFri Book Club pick for April—you can join in on the community conversation and maybe even win a free book on our book club page. In this interview from 2020, Mack joins Ira to talk about the diversity of universe-ending theories, and how cosmologists like her think about the big questions, like where the universe started, how it might end, and what happens after it does.Also, Nobel Prize-winning psychologist Dr. Daniel Kahneman died this week at the age of 90. His work turned many traditional ideas about economics upside-down, arguing that people often make bad decisions that go against their own self-interest. It's something he continued to study throughout his career, and that he wrote about in the 2022 book Noise: A Flaw in Human Judgment. At the end of this segment, we revisit an interview from 2022 with Kahneman in remembrance of his long career studying cognitive biases.Transcripts for each segment will be available after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.

Nothing lasts forever. Even the universe has several possible endings. Will there be a dramatic Big Rip or a Big Chill­–also known as the heat death of the universe–in trillions of years? Or will vacuum decay, which could theoretically happen at any moment, do us in? Perhaps the death of a tiny particle – the proton – will bring about the end. We contemplate big picture endings in this episode, and whether one could be brought about by our own machine creations.  Guests:  Anders Sandberg – Researcher at the Future of Humanity Institute at the University of Oxford Katie Mack – Assistant professor of physics at North Carolina State University, and the author of “The End of Everything, Astrophysically Speaking.” Brian Greene – Brian Greene, professor of physics and mathematics at Columbia, and author of “Until the End of Time: Mind, Matter, and Our Search for Meaning in an Evolving Universe” Originally aired May 3, 2021 Featuring music by Dewey Dellay and Jun Miyake Big Picture Science is part of the Airwave Media podcast network. Please contact advertising@airwavemedia.com to inquire about advertising on Big Picture Science.

We have always known what Donald Trump said and did in his statements his speeches and his tweets - insisting that the only way he could lose the election is it it was "rigged." But thanks to the evidence revealed by the J6 House slect committee public hearings, we know know the private conversations - or, by another name, the evidence - behind the lies. And the liberal progression of Trump's criminal scheme to is as obvious as it is incriminating. Here's the breakdown of this dramatically incriminating evidence.

It’s Day 2 of the Jan. 6 hearings, and we’re learning more about the money involved in perpetuating false election claims. On Monday, the panel said the Trump campaign raised $250 million from donors who believed their money was going to investigate potential voter fraud. “The big lie was also a big rip-off,” Democratic Rep. Zoe Lofgren of California said. We’ll explain where the money really went. Plus, the markets are getting clobbered. How should the Federal Reserve react? And a fun fact we learned that’ll impress your friends the next time you pop champagne. Cheers! Here’s everything we talked about today: “Jan. 6 panel makes case election fraud claims were Trump vs. ‘Team Normal’” from Politico “The Fed May Discuss Biggest Interest Rate Increase Since 1994″ from The New York Times “Opinion: The Federal Reserve should go big now to fight inflation” from The Washington Post Video: Watch a guy on TikTok geolocate images “Popping a champagne cork creates supersonic shockwaves” from Popular Science Got a question or comment for us?

We contemplate big picture endings in this episode, and whether one could be brought about by our own machine creations.  Guests:  Anders Sandberg – Researcher at the Future of Humanity Institute at the University of Oxford Katie Mack – Assistant professor of physics at North Carolina State University, and the author of “The End of Everything, Astrophysically Speaking.” Brian Greene – Brian Greene, professor of physics and mathematics at Columbia, and author of “Until the End of Time: Mind, Matter, and Our Search for Meaning in an Evolving Universe” Originally aired May 3, 2021 Featuring music by Dewey Dellay and Jun Miyake Big Picture Science is part of the Airwave Media podcast network. Please contact sales@advertisecast.com to inquire about advertising on Big Picture Science.
