A tech bubble always feels rational until it doesn't, as Wall Street fuses with Silicon Valley and the entire American economy becomes a single hyper-leveraged bet on AI, we trace the early tremors: falling job numbers, concentration of risk, a market propped up by story over profit. The real shock comes at home, Ireland's new Future 40 report quietly maps out a country sleepwalking into decades of slower growth, soaring age-related costs, and a housing crunch that will outlive an entire generation. The proposed solution currently is to import more workers into a market that can't house the people already here. We break down the numbers, the politics, and the intergenerational showdown now shaping Ireland's future, a collision of tech mania, demographic reality, and a state betting tomorrow on the backs of the young.

Let's talk about Trump losing another demographic....

If you spend five minutes talking to a Gen Z, you could walk away feeling pretty gloomy. They'll tell you the world is burning, wars are endless, work is meaningless, and of course, that housing is forever out of reach. And on the surface, they've got a point — affordability is at record lows, and the property ladder feels further away than ever. But here's the thing… the future might not be as bleak as they think. In fact, there's a quiet housing revolution coming that could turn things around for this younger generation. Demographics, policy shifts, even the way we build homes — all of these are lining up to create opportunities that might surprise a lot of people. And in today's show, leading demographer Simon Kuestenmacher and I explore the impact of demographics on our housing markets, and the potential for Gen Z to benefit from favourable job conditions and economic shifts.   Takeaways  ·         The housing market may improve for Gen Z in the future. ·         Demographic trends suggest job security for Gen Z. ·         Gender equality is improving and will benefit future generations. ·         Baby boomers transitioning out of homes will create opportunities. ·         First home buyer grants may inadvertently raise housing prices. ·         More tradespeople are needed to address housing shortages. ·         Innovation in housing construction is essential for affordability. ·         Government policies need to be reformed for better housing access. ·         Gen Z's future may be more optimistic than current perceptions suggest.     Chapters  03:17 - Gen Z: Smartphones, Social Media and Mental Health  06:11 - Why a Small Generation May Have Big Job Advantages  10:24 - Baby Boomers Passing Homes and Housing Supply Shift  13:58 - Densification of Middle Suburbs and Urban Change  15:44 - First Home Buyer Grants Driving Prices Up   Links and Resources:   Answer this week's trivia question here- www.PropertyTrivia.com.au ·        Win a hard copy of Michael Yardney's Guide to Investing Successfully ·        Every entry receives a copy of a fully updated Michael Yardney Property Report   Michael Yardney   Get the team at Metropole to help build your personal Strategic Property Plan Click here and have a chat with us   Simon Kuestenmacher: Australia's leading demographer and partner in the Demographics Group     Get a bundle of free reports and eBooks – www.PodcastBonus.com.au   Also, please subscribe to my other podcast Demographics Decoded with Simon Kuestenmacher – just look for  Demographics Decoded wherever you are listening to this podcast and subscribe so each week we can unveil the trends shaping your future.

Riding on the coat tails of last week's jewel heist episode, I'm back this week with the intriguing history of the Hope Diamond.  The story of the Hope Diamond is convoluted. It changed hands many times, stolen on several occasions and was gradually cut down from 112 carats to just 45 and a half today. Known for its rich blue color and red phosphorescence, the Hope Diamond is extremely rare and highly coveted. But, a big part of the reason the Hope Diamond is so well known is not because it's pretty and sparkly. It's because it has a rather dark past. In fact, when you follow the story of the Hope Diamond back through its many owners, you may begin to notice a trail of destruction and tragedy left in its wake. For many, the tragic demise of many of the diamond's former owners is even proof of a curse. This infamy is a big part of what makes the Hope Diamond the most famous diamond in the world with an estimated value of between 200 and 350 million dollars. But, is any of it true? Or is it all a publicity stunt? Let's fix that. Support the show! Join the Patreon (patreon.com/historyfixpodcast)Buy some merchBuy Me a CoffeeVenmo @Shea-LaFountaineSources: So Supernatural "The Curse of the Hope Diamond"Wikipedia "Hope Diamond"Wikipedia "Pierre C.

Tara dives into the mechanics of immigration and its impact on U.S. politics, revealing how certain populations are being brought to major cities, often unable or unwilling to assimilate, and the consequences for American elections. She examines the massive welfare system supporting these communities, illegal issuance of Social Security numbers, and the potential political influence of these populations. The episode also explores how cities like New York are becoming demographically and culturally distinct from the rest of the U.S., and the urgent steps conservatives must take to protect American governance, culture, and elections. *Understanding how immigration, welfare, and demographics are shaping America's political future.* Immigration, Welfare, Social Security fraud, Illegal immigrants, New York City, Demographics, Political strategy, Democrats, Republicans, UN, Biden administration, Trump administration, Shadow electorate, Communist influence, Urban policy, Government spending, Midterms, Homeland Security, Election integrity In this eye-opening episode, Tara explains how U.S. immigration policies and welfare programs have created a “shadow nation” that influences elections and urban politics. She highlights New York City as a case study, with one in five residents unable to speak English and nearly half born outside the U.S., living on extensive welfare programs funded by taxpayers. Tara details how billions in government spending, illegal Social Security issuance, and preferential immigration policies have created an electorate that favors socialist or communist candidates. She warns of the potential for cities to become culturally and politically disconnected from the rest of America, urging conservatives to take decisive action to restore lawful immigration, reduce welfare abuse, and protect American elections and governance.

In this illuminating first half of our deep-dive episode, Tom Bilyeu sits down with the brilliant and provocative historian and YouTube creator, WhatifAltHist. Known for his cutting insights into cyclical history and alternative perspectives on societal collapse, WhatifAltHist brings a wealth of knowledge on philosophy, politics, and anthropology to the discussion. The conversation kicks off with a dissection of Nietzsche's “Age of the Last Man,” exploring how Western civilization is at a crossroads characterized by complacency, lack of cultural transmission, and a dangerous loss of ambition. Part one focuses on the unraveling of shared cultural myths, the impact of rapid societal change, and why every historic society similar to ours has met with revolution. The duo investigate the destructive influence of Marxism and modern ideologies on social cohesion, what happens when traditional cultural frameworks erode, and the economic crises intersecting with culture. If you're curious about how historical patterns, economic choices, and ideological battles shape our present moment, this segment will ground you in the underlying forces of our age.

A governor with national ambitions, a party tug‑of‑war, and a state wrestling with affordability—this conversation goes straight at the question on everyone's mind: can Gavin Newsom sell hope to a country tired of anger without getting buried by California's record? We bring together seasoned strategists to weigh why prediction markets love his chances, how a relentless work ethic and podcast‑first media game reshape reach, and whether a transactional political style beats an old‑school “vision thing” when attention is fragmented and narratives move at internet speed.We dig into real fault lines. Supporters say Newsom can frame an abundance agenda for a broad coalition and avoid the foreign‑policy buzz saw that rarely swings U.S. elections. Skeptics hit back with hard California indices: stubborn poverty, high costs, safety concerns, and a housing market that locks out families. The housing debate gets sharp—CEQA trims and transit‑oriented zoning vs a “war on the suburbs”—with both sides agreeing production must grow but splitting over where, how, and who pays. If Newsom heads east, who fills the vacuum? We map the chessboard with Alex Padilla, Rick Caruso, Tom Steyer, and Rob Bonta as pivotal pieces.We also interrogate the GOP's puzzle in a deep‑blue state—out‑migration, donor drain, and flickers of Latino realignment—while testing potential 2028 matchups beyond Trump. Does a figure like J.D. Vance have a national gear, or does the race hinge on who best harnesses long‑form media and emotional tone? By the end, you'll have a clear picture of the stakes: the message Newsom needs to win nationally, the policies California needs to keep its middle class, and why the next governor's housing choices may define the decade.Like what you hear?

Subscribe to DTC Newsletter - https://dtcnews.link/signupWelcome to the DTC Podcast. Today, we're joined by Seth Waite, Founder and Buyer Psychologist at Schaefer, where he helps CPG and food and beverage brands unlock growth by digging into the real reasons people buy.In this episode, we cover:Why knowing your customer via demographics isn't enough - the shift to behaviors, motivations, and jobs-to-be-done.How to build a "Why People Buy Pyramid" for your brand and map messaging across basic needs, emotional values, personal growth, and community.How to recognize true product-market fit in a DTC/CPG context (hint: when the only thing stopping you from selling more is budget).Why targeting the small obsessed segment matters (the "kingpin strategy") and how that unlocks long-term scale and profitable growth.Practical tips for talking to customers today - simple interviews, replacement questions, and how to turn qualitative insights into segmentation and messaging.Best moments you'll want to scan for:• "Demographics are interesting ... but they're not always insightful."• "What you should be telling is the customer's story - these are the occasions you'll have with our product."• "If the only reason why you're not selling more is money ... you've got product-market-fit."• The breakdown of the Why People Buy Pyramid and how it applies to food and beverage brands.• How brands like Oreo and Liquid Death illustrate layering of needs, emotional values, and community.Whether you're launching a new DTC food brand, scaling a snack or beverage line, or trying to sharpen your segmentation and messaging, you'll walk away with concrete frameworks and a clearer path to growth.00:00 - Introduction: Why People Buy01:20 - From Sam's Club to Walmart: Studying Real Buyer Behavior05:12 - Motivations vs. Demographics12:15 - Oreo: How to Own a Category18:03 - Brand Psychology, Packaging, and Subconscious Triggers26:06 - What Product-Market Fit Actually Looks Like32:28 - Tell Their Story, Not Yours39:13 - How to Actually Get Insight (Without a $150K Research Budget)#ConsumerPsychology #WhyPeopleBuy #CPGMarketing #BrandStrategy #ProductMarketFit #CustomerInsights #BehavioralScience #MarketingPsychology #FoodAndBeverage #DTCMarketing #MotivationBasedMarketing #EmotionalBranding #DataDrivenMarketing #OreoCaseStudy #LiquidDeathMarketing #FishwifeBrand #CustomerResearch #FounderStrategy #MarketingPodcast #DTCPodcastSubscribe to DTC Newsletter - https://dtcnews.link/signupAdvertise on DTC - https://dtcnews.link/advertiseWork with Pilothouse - https://dtcnews.link/pilothouseFollow us on Instagram & Twitter - @dtcnewsletterWatch this interview on YouTube - https://dtcnews.link/video

The Demographic Need: Reframing Migration as an Economic Resource and Dismantling Exclusionary Borders.Gaia Vince discusses how humans are a migratory species that evolved in Africa and colonized the entire globe through movement. Historically, the US and European nations have used policies of brutality and cruelty to restrict movement, with many current border restrictions being recent. Vince highlights the current economic paradox: societies encourage the flow of goods but limit human labor, their largest economic resource, with some economists estimating that removing borders could double global GDP. A critical component of managing migration is investment: financial investment to expand northern cities and social investment in accepting that migrants are not "bad people" and promoting inclusivity. Furthermore, the global north faces a demographic crisis, as most developed nations are not producing enough babies to support their elderly populations, making immigration the necessary solution. 1953

Beer volumes are down, dollars are soft, and the usual playbook isn't working.We brought back Lester Jones, chief economist at the National Beer Wholesalers Association, to cut through the noise with data, plain talk, and a clear plan for getting back to growth. Lester breaks down what's structural—demographics, consumption occasions, and channel mix—and what's cyclical—slower hiring, fewer hours worked, and sticky inflation—and shows how those forces collide to shape beer demand in 2025.We unpack the Beer Purchasers' Index and why distributor sentiment remains cautious, then dig into category dynamics where cider and FMBs stabilize, below-premium holds steady, and draft shows surprising resilience as on-premise accounts multiply. Lester argues the rubber band of pricing elasticity finally snapped: years of CPI-tracking increases met a year with little price and falling volume. The fix isn't blind discounting; it's surgical price investment, smarter pack-price architecture, and a return to safety and velocity on shelves. We also reframe on-premise: consumers want to socialize away from home, but aggressive pricing suppresses rounds. The antidote is occasion-first programming—happy hour value, low- and no-alcohol that extends the visit, and draft that delivers ritual, freshness, and better margins.Demographics get a rethink too. Instead of shouting at Gen Z, empower the 60-plus cohort—the wealthiest, most social audience—and design life-stage occasions that everyone wants to join. On competition, we sort through RTDs, seltzers, and hemp beverages, noting where shelves will rationalize and where beer's strengths—lagers with place cues, approachable ABV, and draft experiences—can win. We also address policy turbulence around tariffs and taxes, urging unified advocacy while businesses adapt sourcing and operations to protect margins.If you care about winning the next quarter without losing the next year, this conversation delivers a grounded strategy: price with purpose, simplify to velocity, program the on-premise, and market to moments that bring people together. Subscribe, share with your team, and leave a review with one action you're taking this week to move the needle.And don't forget to sign up for the beer business finance newsletter - financial intel delivered weekly straight to your inbox.Ready to transform financial results in your beer business?

From early professional cohorts in medicine and engineering to founders in Silicon Valley, we trace the “immigrant trifecta” of aspiration, constraint, and discipline that turned upheaval into momentum.The conversation takes a turn as we examine a new surge of identity among Gen Z. Campus Persian classes fill up, clubs form overnight, and students study Iranian rap as political speech—all sparked by the Woman Life Freedom movement. That awakening reframes the assimilation question: instead of fading ties over generations, political courage in Tehran is restoring pride in Boston, Irvine, and beyond.We then wrestle with the hardest part: how change might actually happen. One guest makes the case for a single unifying figure—often pointing to Reza Pahlavi—to synchronize a divided diaspora and guide a path toward the ballot box. The other argues for system-first thinking, a coalition over charisma, and legitimacy grown from within Iran. Both agree on two truths: the regime is weaker than it looks, and enduring transformation must be led by Iranians inside the country. History offers context and hope—more than a century of Iranian constitutionalism and secular aspirations provides a deep native tradition to build upon.You'll leave with a clear map of the forces at play: the economics of a strained state, the psychology of exile politics, the power of youth networks, and the quieter heroism of families who traded comfort for possibility.

2. Demographics and Despair: The Activities of Men Not in the Labor Force Nicholas Eberstadt Book: Men Without Work (Post-Pandemic Edition) Eberstadt investigates the characteristics of the 7.2 million men "not in the labor force" (NILF) as of 2015. Foreign-born men and married men with children are highly likely to be at work, regardless of educational background. Conversely, those who are neither employed nor in education or training (NEET) report engaging in remarkably little civic life, charity, or household help. Time use surveys suggest these NEET men spend the equivalent of a full-time job—around 2,000 hours a year—watching screens. This inactivity is linked to profound misery, as almost half of these men report taking pain medication daily, contributing to rising "deaths of despair" (suicide, overdoses, cirrhosis). 1927 NYSE

Welcome back to The Tom Bilyeu Show! I'm Tom Bilyeu, and on today's episode, Drew and I go deep on some of the biggest global and technological changes shaping our future. We start by diving into Japanese history, dropping into a high-speed "speedrun" of how this incredible culture evolved from its samurai roots, through hardship, into a futuristic powerhouse—and what their current struggles with demographics and immigration might mean for us all. As a self-professed Japanophile, I reflect on what makes Japan unique, the explosive power of its storytelling, and why preserving cultural differences is absolutely essential in a world that's trending toward sameness. From there, we pivot to the wild side of world events: ongoing tragedies in Ukraine, the politics underlying tense global negotiations, and what happens when powerful nations push the limits. We also crack open the future of work, discussing those leaked Amazon documents about potentially replacing 600,000 American workers with robots. I share my unfiltered perspective on why automation is inevitable—not because of some villainous billionaire, but because all of us keep demanding cheaper, faster, and better. Throughout the episode, we tackle practical ways to overcome hopelessness and negativity, the importance of self-talk, and the need to constantly adapt as automation and AI rewrite what's possible. Get ready for hard truths about universal basic income, worker dignity, and why focusing on a smooth transition is the most critical task we have in front of us. If you want to challenge your assumptions, laugh, and get ready for the realities of tomorrow, you're in the right place. Let's do this!

In today's show, Simon Küstenmacher and I discuss the dynamics of our property markets, with a particular focus on the trend of downsizing among baby boomers.   We examine the emotional and financial factors that influence this demographic's decision-making, the impact of government policies on the housing market, and the implications for younger generations seeking family homes.   Simon mentions the need for better housing options and incentives to facilitate downsizing, ultimately aiming to create a more sustainable housing market.   Takeaways  ·         Baby boomers are hesitant to downsize due to emotional attachments. ·         Downsizing can provide financial freedom and reduce stress. ·         Government policies can incentivize downsizing through tax reforms. ·         Emotional attachments to family homes complicate downsizing decisions. ·         Financial disincentives like stamp duty hinder downsizing. ·         Younger generations are affected by baby boomers not downsizing. ·         Demographic trends shape the future of housing markets. ·         Rethinking housing options is crucial for supporting aging populations. ·         Real fortunes in property are made before the boom. ·         Luck rewards the prepared investor.     Chapters  00:00 - Baby Boomers Hold Onto Big Homes  02:09 - Downsizing Trend Overstated in Australia  05:18 - Emotional Ties Block Downsizing Decisions  10:43 - Financial Disincentives: Stamp Duty and Pensions  16:32 - Wealth Concentration Among Baby Boomers  24:46 - Policy Fixes: Kill the Stamp Duty to Unlock Moves   Links and Resources:   Answer this week's trivia question here- www.PropertyTrivia.com.au ·        Win a hard copy of Michael Yardney's Guide to Investing Successfully ·        Every entry receives a copy of a fully updated Michael Yardney Property Report   Michael Yardney   Get the team at Metropole to help build your personal Strategic Property Plan Click here and have a chat with us   Simon Kuestenmacher: Australia's leading demographer and partner in the Demographics Group     Get a bundle of free reports and eBooks – www.PodcastBonus.com.au   Also, please subscribe to my other podcast Demographics Decoded with Simon Kuestenmacher – just look for  Demographics Decoded wherever you are listening to this podcast and subscribe so each week we can unveil the trends shaping your future.

An issue that's been top of mind in Greece for some time now is the demographic crisis. This isn't unique to Greece, however, as it's a problem most of Europe is also looking for answers to. Jacob Funk Kirkegaard, a Senior Fellow at Bruegel and a non-resident Senior Fellow with the Peterson Institute for International Economics, joins Thanos Davelis as we look at how an aging population is challenging Europe, and why migration remains an important part of the equation. You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:The macroeconomic impact of ageing, EU immigration policy and pension expendituresMitsotakis calls for united European defense, energy strategy at MED9 summitErdogan heads to Gulf as Turkey looks to ease energy dependence on Russia

Tired of big talk that falls apart when the trash doesn't get picked up? We bring together two insiders who've lived the fight from the council chamber to the mayor's office to map how cities actually move: coalitions, budgets, police staffing, and the messy business of making streets feel safe. Houston's recent pivot toward a centrist, basics-first agenda shows how bipartisan votes still form when leaders fix pensions, rebuild infrastructure, and keep patrol cars rolling. San Francisco's saga is different: recalls, ranked-choice twists, and a culture war over tech tools like ALPR, drones, and even AI—right in the capital of technology.We dig into why “progressive vs. moderate” has stopped explaining outcomes when residents judge government by Tuesday service delivery. You'll hear how national polarization—especially around Trump and ICE—distorts local debates about data sharing and community protection, while neighborhoods most affected by crime and cost spikes struggle for practical relief. Our guests argue for a measurable playbook: fully staff police with accountability, modernize routing for garbage and repairs, streamline permitting for small businesses, and price services transparently. Along the way, we unpack insurance shocks, electricity bills, and the overlooked voters who decide general elections without ever touching a primary ballot.The next five years will be shaped by younger leaders and a quieter embrace of technology. From Waymo's rising approval in San Francisco to Houston's likely re-election momentum for coalition builders, the future looks less like slogans and more like uptime, response times, and clear trade-offs between fees and services. If you care about how cities actually work—and how they can work better—this conversation gives you a grounded, BS-free roadmap.If this resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend who loves city politics, and leave a quick review so more listeners can find conversations that put results over rhetoric.Support Our WorkThe Center for Demographics and Policy focuses on research and analysis of global, national, and regional demographic trends and explores policies that might produce favorable demographic results over time.

PREVIEW: Chinese Economy Collapsing Due to Demographic Catastrophe GUEST NAME: Alan Tonelson (RealityChek) 100-WORD SUMMARY: John Batchelor speaks with Alan Tonelson about the collapse of the Chinese economy.

Citing the Financial Times, he states that the scale of China's economic collapse is so stunning that it is "unprecedented" and has "never been seen before in human history."
