The title of this video doesn’t do it justice.
Another Steven Bartlett video that goes way beyond just the title. An eye opener for those trying to get a better understanding of how different government agencies work around the world.

Bittersweet, gas guzzling, HEMI powered V-8 Ram SRT TRX announced just two days before Nicolás Maduro was captured.
I’m sure Stellantis wasn’t in on the plot to capture Nicolás Maduro, but announcing the return of their newest monster on New Years day, two days prior to Maduro’s capture, is just bad timing. Or is it good timing?
With impactful performance updates, the 2027 Ram 1500 SRT TRX cements itself as the fastest and most powerful, production, gas pick-up truck in the world, once again setting the record for the half-ton segment. TRX put the industry on notice when it debuted in 2021, and after a brief hibernation, it reclaims its spot at the top of the food chain.
I read both headlines on the same day, and it’s hard not to make a connection even though there is no connection.

China says reuniting with Taiwan is “unstoppable” (insert punctuation of choice here)
Most non-China based media reported it as, “unstoppable” but if you look at the full transcript of the speech reported by Chinese news outlets, it is reported as, “unstoppable!” The video was deliberately, politically monotone all the way through, but the subtitles during the video also said, “unstoppable!”

Surveillance through smartphones.
Ben Lovejoy from 9to5Mac:
The Indian government has ordered Apple and other smartphone manufacturers to pre-install a state-owned “security” app on all phones before they are sold to users.
Adding fuel to the privacy fire, the government is also requiring smartphone makers to ensure that the app cannot be removed by users …
Reuters reports that those who already own iPhones won’t escape either: Apple and others are also being instructed by the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) to push the app to existing phones via a software update. […]
Apple is likely to push back, hoping to persuade the government to agree to a less extreme policy like offering the app to users during setup and allowing wording that encourages them to install it.
However, ultimately, if negotiations are unsuccessful, it will have to comply with the law. Apple has already been forced to compromise user privacy in China by storing iCloud data on servers owned by a company directly linked to the Chinese government. Apple has also removed VPN and foreign news apps from its Chinese App Store when instructed to do so.
As with China, Apple is in a double-bind here as India is not only a growing market for the company’s products, but also an increasingly important manufacturing centre. Withdrawing from that market in order to uphold its values is not a practical option.
Saw this news story the same day I watched the Mrwhosetheboss’s North Korea video, showing the extreme control North Korea has over their citizens.
Something tells me that even though most world leaders condemn North Korea, they secretly would like to have just as much control over the people.
