If you want a political history of the United States of America, watch every episode of my presidential elections in American history video. If you want an ECONOMIC history of the United States of America...meh...this video should do.  It's one of my most ambitious videos yet, and boy it took a lot out of me.

Headed to Dallas tomorrow to film the JFK assassination video. Let me know if you want to meet up at Dealey Plaza on Friday. 

Thank you for your continued support. It's why I can afford to take a road trip to film at where historical events actually took place. :)

(gasp!) And forget Panic at the Disco! They were an overrated band anyway. But seriously, obviously historians say there were more recessions than I mentioned. And I’ll end this video with these thoughts. Recessions are pretty much inevitable. I don’t think we’ll ever be able to fully prevent them. In fact, we may even be in one right now and not even realize it yet. At least, certain YouTube channels have been telling us that for a while now. And recessions suck. Like, they REALLY suck. For all of us. Recessions mean you and I maybe not being able to afford to eat. Recessions mean more people desperate on the streets. Recessions mean more political instability, which often means more chaos…more violence….more wars. And depressions? Heck, depressions are so bad that it has historically led us to turn to FACISM as a solution. Yep, if we’re desperate enough, we’ll often put up with a ruthless dictator as long as we have access to clean drinking water. And by golly I hope this is obvious by now. Learning about what caused past recessions is absolutely CRITICAL for not PREVENTING future recessions because remember, recessions are pretty much inevitable but learning about what caused past recessions is critical for helping us DEAL WITH and RESPOND TO future recessions. For the love of humanity, let’s stop making the same mistakes. #apush #ushistory #economichistory

Hey Mr. Beat, I live in Dallas. The JFK museum is very well done, and the people there are really nice and I'm sure will be happy to help. There are a lot of conspiracy theorists constantly on the Grassy Knoll and I'm sure most of them would love to be on video...but then probably ask you for money afterwards. Just a heads up. Also, Dealey Plaza itself is not in the nicest area. It's about 1.5 miles away, but if you're looking for good food downtown, Pecan Lodge probably has the best BBQ. If you're looking for a true Texas experience, the Truckyard is a cool bar with food trucks.

Oh wow, this is a good one. Really great work, man.

Thanks for the great advice and suggestions. We are in town now and I might have a meet up tomorrow evening. I will watch out at the grassy knoll. 😳
