The old cast members of Monty Python spend a lot of time complaining about money. The problem is that in a world where Netflix, Disney and their various competitors spend over $100 billion a year making disposable content for subscription services and the occasional dying movie theater, old comedy skits that double as cultural touchstones are practically worthless.
Except as fodder for YouTube upload clips generating a cent for every 1,000 impressions.
The new entertainment is a woke culture factory in which original ideas are worthless except as grist for intellectual property franchises. Some original ideas, like Superman or Batman, are worth a lot as franchises even while the original works are only of interest to collectors.
The internet made every original work duplicatable and disposable. The new merger of Hollywood and dot coms represented by Netflix and other streaming services was based on video content having a very brief half-life to drive subscriptions to gated content libraries.
Churn was the only function of content. Netflix casually cancels successful shows once they achieve their purpose of generating enough new subscriptions because the new metric of success isn’t viewership, it’s subscriptions and subscriptions driven by ‘newness’. […]

At Last, a Company With Integrity in the Gold IRA Industry
For several years, I’ve been vetting out precious metals companies in search of the best. I believe in gold and silver but it’s hard to find integrity in the Gold IRA industry. The vast majority operate with shady tactics and gigantic spreads that take advantage of Americans who simply want to protect their life’s savings.
I’ve found a handful that I like and I’ve worked with some of them. By no means would I “unrecommend” them because, again, I vetted them out and found them to be above the fold. Unfortunately, it isn’t hard to be better than the rest when the rest are so darn awful.
After years of searching, I finally found a company that truly operates with integrity. Augusta Precious Metals has three important attributes that set them far above the competition:
- Non-Commissioned Sales Team: I cannot stress how important and unique this is. With just about every other company in the Gold IRA industry, the sales teams make commission from every account they open. This means they steer their clients toward the gold and silver products with the highest commission. With Augusta Precious Metals, the team is solely focused on putting the best gold and silver for their clients into their IRA. They get paid to serve the best interests of the Gold IRA client, NOT their own commission pay.
- Incredibly Low Fees: Most Americans would be shocked if they knew the spread other Gold IRA companies charge. Augusta charges just 5% versus up to 45% elsewhere.
- No Pressure, No Gimmicks: There’s an understanding among most in the Gold IRA industry that fear and pressure is the way to go. Augusta Precious Metals takes a sober approach when working with clients because they hold integrity in the highest possible regard. This is why they don’t offer gimmicks like “free” or “bonus” silver. It’s also why they do not apply pressure tactics to get quick sales. Their educational and transparent approach to doing business is exceedingly rare in the Gold IRA industry.
