The majority of the comments below this person's videos are either staged or created by idiots. Many or most of them are probably his shills and get their own free lifetime fiscal advice.

It would be interesting to know how much money Taquane X gets from his videos and other sources. No matter how much he is scamming from people, I'll bet you that he doesn't pay income taxes. He's just one example of YouTube scammers that are all over cyberspace.

I got through nearly a minute and a half of that video but it killed so many brain cells I had to stop. Does anyone survive the full 6:42?

I’m not even going to click on the link but interestingly was just having the conversation this morning at the optometrist office with the nice lady who ordered my first pair of BIFOCALS (I am officially OLDER THAN DIRT) for me - about social media scams and also the impact on kids of all the toxic content. Nevermind how it is turning us all into tribalists who can’t see common cause.

For all the happiness engendered in the world by funny cat videos, I would happily return to the age before social media and devices. I liked it better when we conned and berated each other face to face.

Well I’m on my second pair of progressives so you can take solace in the fact you outlasted me.

Good grief! My first pair of bifocals are long since old enough to vote. At the time I was working in a chemistry lab where everybody carried a 6in metal Starrett ruler marked in hundredths of an inch. We had to use it to record readings from some instrument charts. I also carried a pocket magnifier to read it. With my first bifocals, I no longer needed the magnifier. it was wonderful.

Measuring instrument charts in inches?1/1 How primeval. Even my first lab job in 1966, long before microchip integrators and even before the Kent electrostatic integrators (only chemists with very long memories will have a clue what I am talking about) we measured in cm. With a vernier caliper if necessary.
