The fact we live in a country where there are homeless veterans in a lot of major cities helps you understand just how right George was most of the time. The fact that he could confront you with stuff that ought to make you mad, and still make it hilarious shows you his genius. He cut through BS better than anyone else, and his voice is greatly missed.
I wish we had an actual modern day equivalent of him even though I know people now would hate it because the truth is uncomfortable but we need someone like him nowadays
And the Supreme Court just made not having a home a criminal offense...
If only he would have run for President. I bet there would have been a few turn-overs in US... Love this guy. Nobody could talk about such serious topics, with a comedy turn on it like him.
@@toycelicagt4wd considering George was a libertarian socialist, I doubt the establishment would have let him participate politically lol
@@MoCsomeone As far as I can understand US politics is that some goverment would have free speached his mouth in to forced lockdown... 😂😂 Don't get me wrong, I do love USA, they are just so weird at times...😂
George Carlin was talking like this during a time that you did not talk like this. The fact that he was at the top of comedy allowed him to share and bring many thoughts to the surface. People today would try to cancel him.
Actually it pisses me off when people continually say halfway houses equal lots of crime while acting like they are interested in addressing the problem. I lived right next door to a halfway house for a number of years and we never had a single problem with any of the guys who were there and they kept to themselves.
However, we had problems with many people in the neighborhood who were supposedly good people but always causing problems in one way or another. There were always Karen’s ( women or men) who would cause trouble with their neighbors or stick their nose into other people’s business, so I found that the most trouble was with the people in the neighborhood and not with the people who were in the halfway houses. It’s a disservice to people trying to get their lives together to say they are always a problem when they come out of jail and are trying to get back to society. Sure, there are some people who are going to get back into trouble but it’s wrong to categorize them all as being a problem.
I lived in a halfway house and we never had any issues with our neighbors we actually got along with them. So you are right and that place helped me get recovery
The fun part for me is askin why they need to be near established neighborhoods. Like I dunno, you wanna cross an entire town twice a day on foot to work? They need to be near where stuff is funnily enough or it doesn't work
@@Shadowangel09that’s a very good point. Most people staying there aren’t going to have transportation.
ALL George's stuff is RELEVANT for today. I LOVE this one!!! ALWAYS HAVE!!
Truth 👏🤣
His views/comedy is timeless. He saw the cracks in the sysrem...we were/are all too immersed to see it....or at least to do anything about it, sadly.
We had that argument about a woman’s halfway house and people lost it, I laugh because it’s been there for years but the neighbors just found out. Christian values my butt
Carlin was not wrong, either about Americans being a warlike people, declaring "war" on domestic problems (and then not doing anything about them), homelessness, NIMBY, golf courses and cemeteries. He was right about all of it. PLUS, he was funny!
Carlin was rarely, if ever, wrong.
14:00
It makes sense….
We are so egotistical, we find it more important for a place to rest while decomposing, than having housing for the downtrodden
It feels impossible to not check out a Carlin reaction. Anywhere. Anytime. It doesnt disappoint on this channel.🍻
George was a Prophet.
No. The real issues just never changed. Downsides of capitalism. If it doesn't make money, it's irrelevant
"Let 'em fuck with a windmill for an hour or two, see how good they are"
I almost lost it at that 😅
More Carlin please 🙏. You can never go wrong with him. Thanks 🙏
As a society we are only as good as how we treat our most unfortunate members
Watching Golf on TV is like watching flies fuck. 😂😂 Comedy gold
The GOD HIMSELF. Georgie and Richard Pryor are the voices of their generation in Comedy, every single special is poignant and perfection of rhythm.
Chill, hes the big electron of comedy, not the God.
@@MeMyself_andAI just vibrating 😂
Can you imagine George as the Speaker Of The House?
"Don't look at me like that!". Hahaha, You tell him! 😂
Hey, don't forget the football stadiums, baseball stadiums, soccer stadiums, and basketball stadiums we could have a lot of places for the homeless
golf courses. golf courses are my pet peave., I enjoy the game as much as any, but it is an incredible waste of large areas of land and come with as many enviromental problems as benefit
I've never heard of soccer stadiums(at least not in the US)but I kinda see your point however golf courses are frankly more wasteful and pollute more.
George Carlin is a national treasure.
I grew up on Carlin. My little brother (age 7) and I (age 9) were slipped a tape of Carlin in 1986. Can you imagine? This came out when I was 12 and I memorized it. It shaped a LOT of what I believe to this day.
George Carlin = Prophet/Comedian
I love this one and agree wholeheartedly. Worked at a country club as a single mom, and know what he says is absolutely true
I listened to Carlin since I was a teen in the 70's...he had a lot of good points. I can remember my dad giving me grief over having those albums, so I would listen to them with headphones I repaired that I found at the dump. Enjoyed all his HBO specials also.
R.I.P. George Carlin. We could all stand to learn from his words... He stimuates your mind and opens you up to different points of view, the whole while cracking you up. One of the greatest. A great philosopher first, a magnificent comedian second.
I understand the perspectives of wanting to help someone and of what that might bring into an area. But George was right. If you can’t make money off of an idea then it won’t happen. The reason Georgia and the city council of Atlanta will not build on the land that is open is because that land has been designated for future building and more development. Tiny houses, low income housing and halfway houses are starting points for those who need a leg up but like George said the idea is all people will support but not the actions of following through which is sad because compassion is probably the most rare emotion that people possess anymore. I’m not talking about spouting off on social media and giving your two cents about how this world is so cold emotionally but real compassion where you see someone actually doing something to help. Doesn’t matter if it’s buying food for a family whose down on their luck or getting an initiative passed through the city council to make sure those in need get help because that’s real compassion and it’s something we desperately need if we’re going to survive in the future.
And homeless people don’t vote. Which is the only thing these city managers and planners care about. It’s all political
"Don't talk about it. Be about it." Perfectly said Tasha.
the mount rushmore of philosophers, Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, and George Carlin. This is not a joke, or tongue in cheek, this is absolutely real.
Agree
I know this video is a month old, and there's a number of comments here already, so I likely wont be saying anything that isn't already said, but for the discussion at 7:40
When you ask "Why does it have to be in an established neighborhood", you also have to ask yourself what resources these people don't have. They likely don't have a vehicle, so a location near where a high population of homelessness already exists is optimal for its proper utility. To that you often hear "Why not make them take the bus", which has countless issues. Youre expecting these busses to provide them with consistent punctual timing, A lot of half way houses have strict curfews. Not to mention, you don't want them in your neighborhood, imagine the people who already rely on the transit system. Imagine you're working a 9-5 job, and one day, they open a half way house near by, and your drive home now has every homeless person on it, every day on the same system you travel.
All that aside, shame is a huge factor in addiction and homelessness. When you say "Ew, no. You can go somewhere else" Thats not helpful at all. Ive lived next to a halfway house, and can tell you 100% for a fact, it makes your area a worse place to live, that's just a fact. But to say youre unwilling to lower your living standards from a 9/10 to an 8/10 in exchange for someone else, who would go from a 1/10 to a 5/10 is rough. No happy answer, just a thought.
I had someone near me start talking about how they put money into anti homeless architecture but no pro homeless architecture, I feel like Carlin woulda told him that the Corporations pay the builders and planners to keep the ‘trash’ off their streets so their clients can come in without being beggared for change.
Tell ‘em how it is George. Absolute legend. R.I.P.
He was so ahead of his time in terms of being on point!!!
I seen George in NY in 1997. Did a two hour set. Died laughing 😂.
Nice seeing a couple having fun together…
When I was homeless, I helped the homeless. It wasn't hard because I was a go between for the social workers. The homeless trusted me so I bridged that gap of trust and helped while I helped myself. Got an apt and got 2 more off the street and working til alcoholism got 1 and he had to go. ❤ Take care of those that want it, not those you think need it. ❤
They say that the people with less money are often more charitable than those who have a lot of it. Good for you.
@@joeconcepts5552 You speak true.
In Norway we have a magazine made by people on the street. With the help of journalists. They buy magazines for $4. and sell it for 10. Often they get more than the magazine costs. Where they sell the magazine, crime has gone down
It's so true that it hurts.
Carlin is the Goat. I saw him in Pensacola some years back and it was amazing.
At least he admited it, being a nimby. I remember my old neighbors fought tooth and nail to keep an Open Arm home, for victims of spousal abuse out of their neighborhood, fearing that it would slow down their soaring home appreciation. This was in downtown Brooklyn so it seemed extra suspicious and hypocritical.
I appreciate your good, eye-opening conversation. Both of you are thoughtful & and honest, and that's half the battle.
Regarding the houseless,
I personally wonder how much it would cost to build shelters where each person or couple gets their own room with a locking door. It can't be that expensive and, I think, it would benefit people so much.
Maybe I'm off but it seems like a good idea to me and would provide safety and a safe place for the houseless to keep their belongings. If only their were a neighborhood where a consensus of people actually wanted to help.
Stop your wars. You have enough wealth for EVERYONE!
GEORGE was a prophet. a completely honest man.....pulled no punches....called bullshit what it is....bullshit. the humor was just icing on the cake.
Probably roasting in hell
Your face when he said cemetaries... priceless!
The problem is, if not in your neighborhood and not in mine, then where?
George was a truth teller.
Anyone even remotely interested in comedy must check him out. Gold. Goat. Everyone reveres Dave Chapelle, and he IS great, but Carlin and Pryor? C'mon, seriously?
When you do snippets it doesn’t do justice, he always brought it around
I was at this HBO special in NYC 1992. It's the same show as the Saving the Planet routine.
too cool. Did they catch you on camera?
Na, no HD and if you're George looking out I would have been mid left.
@@tntreactions I thought you two should be aware of something important.
Many and I mean many of the homeless are not addicts, have never been addicts.
They are people who have lost their homes.
Usually through not being able to afford it due to the high cost of living.
My husband and I moved back to my home state to become my parents live in care takers.
I had worked but had become more severely disabled and due to the job my husband had, he too became disabled.
I got my disability in 2019 after fighting for it since 2016.
It's now 2024 and we are still fighting for my husbands and we started fighting for his, in 2015.
When my parents died (my mom in 2020) (my dad in 2023). We were promptly kicked out of the house my parents had been renting.
It was owned by my cousins gf.
The house was bought by her in 2004 and the only thing they did was maintain the outside.
She caused such a problem for the judge, that he ordered a city inspection and they were found seriously negligent.
In the end....The court ruled in favor of us and classified them as the worst case of slumlords he has ever seen.
But...We still had to leave as it was her property.
All we had left (besides putting what we could in a storage unit) was our Jeep.
We lived in that from Aug, 2023 to Jan, 2024.
The Jeep broke down, we couldn't afford repairs.
The dealership refused to help.
I lost 12 thousand dollars (that was the total of the Jeep) had it for 9 months and we had nowhere to stay, no money, so we sold it for a quick $500 to get us to my bil's house.
There was a group of about 60 of us. Living at a rest stop.
There were tents in varying places all over.
None of us were addicts, we're all beyond poor and couldn't afford a warm place to live.
Still can't.
That's who many of the homeless are. The beyond poor.
I do not even make $1,000 a month in disability.
Oh, and all those so-called homeless help orginations such as MSHDA, HUD, etc.
It's All a Scam!
I spent 6 months trying to get information.
There's what is known as housing vouchers.
They are meant to help by paying the majority of everything.
However, you can only sign up when they are open.
It's a 2-5 year wait to even get housing.
And you have to practically crawl through the internet to get any semblance of information.
Now, MSHDA does do these vouchers.
The problem comes from the fact when I called them, they lied and sent me on a 6 month wild goose chase.
We almost got help from a smaller place but for some stupid reason, they did not qualify being out in less than a week as valid enough to help.
Now that program no longer exists.
Every single one of them has some sort of excuse, they flat out lie and mislead you.
The they also send the same dead-end information.
MSHDA got billions last year.
Yes, some went to help those already in, but no expansions, no nothing.
Yes, they opened a few new places in other states.
But no expansions in the area we lived in, as it has the highest homeless population in the state.
I just wanted to share the reality of why so many are homeless and for most of us, it has nothing to do with substance abuse.
We literally cannot afford it.
And the COL just keeps getting higher and higher.
Why an established neighorhood?
Gee! Could be because we are still human beings.
I mean...If you want to get real.
You are literally treating an entire group of people (not based on race) as if they are trash.
How does that make you any better just because you weren't screwed over in life?
Meaning....You aren't sick, disabled, you can work to afford things.
Whereas many of us can't.
Why should we be treated as less than?
Sorry, but you two treating an entire group of people as garbage because of their issues.
Issues that are literally not even remotely their fault!
Cause, I didn't ask to be born, let alone born disabled.
It's where I draw the line at supporting, watching, and subscribing.
And yes, people say leave. No need to say bye, blah, blah.
It's a way to shut people down from stating facts, standing up for themselves, etc, etc.
But...I can't support people with such vile and disgusting thoughts on struggling, suffering human beings.
You're both seriously vile!
@@tntreactions You literally called a 61 yr old grandmother garbage.
You called a young struggling single mother garbage.
You called a multitude of varying degrees of struggling people garbage.
These were the people at the rest stop with us and you called them filth.
SHAME ON YOU BOTH!
I agreed with him on everything he said.
I adopted a child who was severely abused... He was beaten and electrocuted all before he could walk. He has flash backs and he needs around the clock care. He is only 13 years old and he lives in a group home. That group home has never bothered anyone. And still people complained when it opened in the beginning. But now since nothing bad has happened these noisy people have shut their mouths.
You are a legitimate hero. I will also bet that even after all that poor kid’s pain and suffering he is probably more mentally stable and tougher than a majority of today’s youth who can’t make any simple decisions without consulting with their therapist first.
You have a wonderful heart. 🙏 for his healing journey
Tasha completely gets it. Y'all are great folks!!!❤
In Tennessee being homeless is in the same classification as simple assault a felony!
And you can be punished for attempting to feed the homeless too!
@@matthewroberts6833 what cant you be punished for
@Raven5150 Well, the cops stealing from people trying to help the homeless and kidnapping the actual homeless and turning them into slave labor seem to be getting away with what they're doing.
Nope the year doesn't matter ....its timeless . Love george ...spread his truth.
Fascinating to see you uncomfortable with the truth
He is 100 percent on point about golf. If you want a good Carlin bit, check out his segment called "People who ought to be killed." T's eyes will be bugged out the ENTIRE time.
"Depends on the year"
"It doesn't matter the year"
FACTS George and his bits are E T E R N A L bruh x'd
Something people forget is that someone has to carry a burden or responsibility no matter if they don’t want it to be “in their backyard”. Sometimes, you need to accept that you don’t have the luxury of saying no to something being, quote on quote, “in your backyard”, or saying no to doing something. Someone has to clean buildings, someone has to cook food for the masses, someone has to get rid of the garbage, someone has to perform high stress jobs and lose hundreds of days of their life for it, someone have to run companies when it makes them utterly depressed, and these important pieces of instructors have to be put SOMEWHERE, and it might be YOUR WHERE.
Acceptance and adaptation is the best thing you can do, because freedom of choice is dependent on the choices available. Be wise with your choices, especially when they are large in number. Either take advantage and make good use out of your opportunities or accept the lack there of when the time comes.
This country is kinda like that one member of the family that EVERYBODY has: you love ‘em, but they just keep doing some s**t that makes you look at them and just shake your head in embarrassment. Like, what century are we living in again?
If you put social housing all together all you get is a ghetto, in the UK we place a small percentage of social housing in each new build and then you find people will copy other people keeping their property up to a standard not letting the neighbourhood down, add to this, the company owning/renting the properties could put in a caveat that the renters who dont cut the grass, let the property down, dump cars etc could be made to vacate
There should be rules ,yes that are enforced the only way things would stay clean and nice looking...
I live in a VERY mixed area, wheren you can find a rental apartment for $300/m and one for $2500 within like 10 minutes of each other, homes of 300k a street from 500k homes near a midrise of 200k apartments overlooking a street of 900k homes from the balconies and such. Since its all mixed there aren't really poor areas or underpoliced/poorly policed areas. Pretty much everything that happens will affect or be witnessed by an affluent citizen, so the service for everyone else is pretty dang good. So yes, halfway houses, rehab centers and prisons are just weaved into the fabric. Is it fair that standards differ based on who lives in an area? Nope, but if you mix the 1-10% that does quite well, it raises the base nationwide, to the point a new halfway house is totally fine for many people since the police can handle it.
I absolutely hate golf for every reason George Carlin mentioned and this is my favorite routine of his.
Imma be honest the lowest crime area I ever lived in was Palestine, Tx. There's 3 maximum security prisons in Palestine Tx. I'm just sayin...
You know there was a time and still is when people didn't want you two moving into their backyard. Give that a thought. Being scared of maybe's doesn't help.
I had to leave two comments he hit the nail on the head. We're breed to be greedy and arrogant but that's what america is built on. Capitalism
Most of the world is
I agree, George was more "i don't give a fuk" when he got older, his best routine was his last HBO special, 70 years old and sharper than most.
The biggest issue with the NIMBY mindset is that it allows people to continue being apathetic.
Who cares if the prison system does anything to reform people who are incarcerated if the prison is nowhere near you and you never have to think about it?
Who cares if the conditions at halfway houses are terrible and the people there are not given mental health support or proper resources to avoid relapse if it's hours away? A lot of people won't. They don't want their tax money going to that.
More people would care about the quality of all social assistance or rehabilitation if they were more integrated with their community, rather than relegated to the 'wrong side of the tracks'. Almost every city I have lived in, upon arrival people would tell you which side of town or street to avoid. Don't live East of This Street. Don't live near That Street. Avoid between Those Streets. It's easier to ignore a problem if you don't have to face it.
You are the only people I have seen on TH-cam that I would genuinely love to hang out with.
She's right. There is a war on poor people.
He would be considered a rebel today. Shows how lost we are now.
You both seem like good people. I wish you all the best!
He’s even more right today.
Nintendo pilots...now we have Drone operators, who many times are plucked from e-streams and such, where COD is second nature to them, to basically play a video game to drop bombs on people and they get desensitized to it because it's just a joystick and a screen. Once again just like many other specials, when he got older he was able to predict the future in a way.
Yes those guys in WW2 who dropped bombs of civilians actually felt terrible about (most of them) even though all of the Axis countries did it first, I sometimes wonder if the current soldiers feel the same way because it is so impersonal.
Sorry about all the typos and the bad English i'm still having fevers because i'm stuck home with Covid.
GOLF has evolved into a video game sport, so there is really no need to take up all that space anymore :)
Football has evolved into a video game sport, so there is really no need for anyone to physically play it.
You see how that sounds?
@@munky342 That's also a waste of space and money, not to mention the insane player salaries, so I agree. Big money sports are not about sports anymore. I'd be happy to see every stadium turned into a public park, botanical garden, bird sanctuary etc. Drunk dads will find another source of entertainment, I'm not worried about that.
MASS homelessness really began in October,1988 when Reagan and the Republicans closed all the welfare hotels. I know because I was working the front desk at the main welfare office in Detroit at the time.
They could use the land in Atlanta that the police are using for a militaristic training ground.
The authority needs chaos to stay in business. When they place all of the people with problems in the same neighborhood problems will occur. When sprinkled throughout and given a chance he or she will FINALLY be looked at as who they are as individuals and will be accepted.
CARLIN WAS BRILLIANT!
Carlin was ahead of his time.
I've never understood a game where the whole idea is to score lowest and play least.
One thing you can bet money on, the right nor the left give a damn about homelessness.
To be fair, they do until the election is over. 🫣
The left are the only ones that do care. Problem is we don't have a leftist party in America. We have a right of center party and a far reich party.
Love George
There are many benefits for mixing rich and poor. The rich kids get to play with poor kids and learn about the inequalities of life, the poor families "shape up" since they don't want to look bad.
One can in a way think of it as back in the bad old days when black people were segregated from whites, it doesn't improve the situation, it worsen it
George Carlin Richard Pryor The Best Ahead of their times Amazing
Thanks for the Turkish subtitles 😂. I have known George' stand-up comedy since 2010. What a unique personality, what a great man! R.I.P George
George is still the king!
I live in fort worth tx. I am a man of modest means. I used to work in several of the "probjects", aka government subsidisd housing for lower income (well not lower income just those that depended upon on the "government" to sustain them. food stamps, free housing, welfare, the more children you have, the more "benefits" you can acquire. but I digress... one of these projects was actually cleaned up. how? they evicted all the Tennant's and dozed it. now it is just about 4 square blocks of empty land. couldn't the homeless population of used them? granted no electric, no gas, no water but still shelter. another one in east central fort worth was closed, boarded up and left vacant. still standing and police patrol it to insure it remains unused. this "housing" was built and paid for on tax dollars about half a century ago. wake up America!
I'd take 3 halfway houses over a cop city.
Cool when they steal your shit....
@@chrischar9428typical bootlicker response
@@chrischar9428cops are a state sanctioned gang. Their clearance rates of crimes are abysmal. 99% of cops don't even know the 1st amendment yet they have immunity to enforce laws. They don't even know the law. Might as well just hand badges to the crips and bloods
Provide these people meaningful employment, stable housing and progressive rehabilitation. Watch what happens. It’s much easier for people to react in preemptive fear and tribalism than pragmatism and empathy. Any person getting up every morning to go to work, has much more in common with those looking to pick up the pieces of their life and make something of themselves than those “golfers” with a country club habit.
Check out Frankie Boyle: "Audience Annihilation, Part 1". Beware, Frankie is SAVAGE!
The reason, I believe, it [halfway house] needs to be near an established town is for the ability to rehabilitate into society. I don't know the specifics on how they work but if you're rehabbing people theyre going to need to be able to be walking distance to a job or being able to transport groceries. I'm sure a large number of people in the situation don't have cars. being stuck in the middle of a resourceless area is only going to drive people back to drugs or crime.
Bad neighbors equals crime. Regardless of economic background….hurt people hurt people.
A halfway house next door lowers the property values of the surrounding houses. That's an argument you can hang your hat on.
She's right. Earlier stuff was humor. Later was more ranting.
Hilarious funny as heck crying while laughing funny😂😂😂😊😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The primary reason for Halfway Homes being in neighborhoods is that they tend to use/convert existing homes. More cost effective than creating a new neighborhood and building new homes. And when someone wants to sell they'll sell to them because they're leaving the area.
Imagine if he was alive today. Would be amazing
Real talk, though... coming from a 42-year-old white American dude...
When I was a kid, the adults couldn't even fathom bringing a homeless shelter into the neighborhood or a halfway house, something like that.... But I heard many adults at that time talk about how black families moving into neighborhoods would bring down property values and bring an increase in crime. And this was coming from adults who swore they were not racist, they just thought it would be better if black people had their own space, and stayed out of ours. It sounds ludicrous to say at this point, but that was only like 30 or 35 years ago. This was in the suburbs of New York, not somewhere in Montana or Indiana or some shit.
I'm just saying, the whole concept of "not in my backyard" is incredibly ignorant and has never led to anything good.
There’ll never be another George Carlin! Sadly
Amen on golf courses.
The gospel according to George carlin!!!❤❤😂
Typically you place halfway houses, etc. in areas where there are plenty of entry level jobs nearby. That excludes most residential neighborhoods.
Yeah those golf courses need to go 😅
If you don't want to know, don't ask George.
Here's a good article putting one foot in front of the other 😂😂😂😂
He was a genius and if you look at his life he left school really early but saw the world better than any college professor. It's odd in the aspect of prisons that decades ago they actually did somewhat try and rehabilitate and educate and then it just turned into a giant industry. Then again they also used to have the prisoners doing hard work to discourage them coming back.
you could also use 50% of the parking lots for houseing too, you need it more.
George does go off "the deep end" once in a while
