    And like I said, he’s Canadian. There is no way that he couldn’t have seen through that unless he was flagrant about his sheer stupidity. You can’t live next door to that shithole and see what they do, have our news cover it for years and be part of this country while honestly thinking that America is good for business. Not if you have been paying a fraction of attention to the world around you. The only way he believes that about America is stupidity or surrounding himself with people who blow smoke up his ass.

    This shit is why I’ve never trusted Linus. Just because he’s smart in one area doesn’t mean he’s smart across the board. Moments like this prove it.

        No, I mean from the start. Not when he got popular. Like every Canadian learns that by osmosis, especially when you’re in B.C.

        Linus is smart when it comes to tech and that is it. Just like Ben Carson was brilliant with neurosurgery but was so stupid he believed the pyramids were used for grain. Linus is a wizard when it comes to tech and an utter idiot when it comes to anything to do with the real world.

        Then again… maybe Linus belongs more in America considering the controversy he had with pumping out low quality garbage that didn’t meet any standards and got him drop kicked out as CEO. Was really hoping that moment would obliterate him from public discourse but evidently not.

        Edit: Apparently that LMG controversy was a bit more fucked than I realized…
