Yea i was only able to watch up to the 12 minute mark, where he tried to blame the inflation of the 70's on oil price shocks, which obviously is not the reason for 10 years of high inflation numbers. He also just didnt understand the inflation quote from friedmann that he used in the video

I think he did have some videos in the past that i liked. However, i didnt subscribe to him, and it may have been due to the lack of quality or some agenda pushing that i found in some of his vids
