LA as a Vassal State of China and the Myth of Hollywood

from Andrew Schulz | The Tim Dillon Show #436 · #436

2 min

They discuss the future of Los Angeles becoming dominated by foreign wealth like Vancouver, and Tim argues LA's whole identity was built on the myth of Hollywood, comparing it to a college town whose team leaves.

In this bit4 moments
  • LA could become a vassal state of China, with Chinese billionaires buying all the real estate.
  • Canadian supermarkets have only two types of peanut butter; the whole country is a soulless corporate hell with nothing unique or interesting.
  • Hollywood's only appeal was that it was the home of myth and pretend—LA is essentially a city with a college football team.
  • If Ohio State leaves Columbus, the city is finished; same logic applies if the football team leaves LA.
