Eating beef for Christmas dinner is woke 😅
What actually happened is the opposite of "woke". There is a turkey shortage because of bird flu.

Apologies, no video today. I haven't had a great week to be honest. But I'm editing the video as we speak, so it should be released tomorrow.

So the wealthiest person on earth has a mandate to make 1000,000 unemployed, but you can guarantee he'll do everything in his power to pay as little tax as possible. So who's going to support all these people made unemployed by the disruptors whose sole aim is to take away jobs 🤷
