USA on the Brink of Chaos: How Americans Are Living the End of the American Dream

- Facing a pandemic, an unprecedented economic and social crisis, the United States seems to be on the brink. We followed middle-class Americans who now find themselves on the poverty line.
Marc and Selene, had to close their restaurant and are struggling to pay the rent when their young son breaks his arm. Now they have to find an additional $11,000 in order to have it treated.
A few months ago, Steven was making $ 70,000 a year as a business executive. Today he lives with his wife in their car. But he refuses to give up his belief in capitalism and the American dream and is sure better days are coming. Meanwhile, Kirin faces deportation after losing her job as a cashier.

More and more people might face a tough time in retirement. Low-paying jobs, inflation, and high rents make it hard to save. Now, middle-class Americans find it tough to own a home too, leaving them without a place to retire.
as most investing-related questions, the answer is, it depends.. my best suggestion is to consider advisory management
I wholeheartedly concur; I'm 60 years old, just retired, and have about $1,250,000 in non-retirement assets. Compared to the whole value of my portfolio during the last three years, I have no debt and a very little amount of money in retirement accounts. To be completely honest, the information provided by invt-advisors can only be ignored but not neglected. Simply undertake research to choose a trustworthy one.
Impressive can you share more info?
Certainly, there are a handful of experts in the field. I've experimented with a few over the past years, but I've stuck with ‘’COLLEEN ROSE MCCAFFERY” for about five years now, and her performance has been consistently impressive.She’s quite known in her field, look-her up.
Thank you for this tip. It was easy to find your coach. Did my due diligence on her before scheduling a phone call with her. She seems proficient considering her resume.
As a Pole I'm shocked to see people driving Tesla, Lexus that call themselves poor and ask for help to collect free groceries. I would teach them how to manage their own money first before they reach for any public aid.
I'm driving a Nissan Could you teach me how to manage my social security check
True..they are not eligible for the aid
@@tomtroy3792get a job cleaning bathrooms, and save money, dude I don't even drive a car, food comes first.
As an American I'm shocked we give money and drug to the homeless addicts, costing tax payers billions.
They are not poor,,they own luxury cars and grand houses,,they will take hand outs,,
My favorite part of being American is when a person comes from generational wealth and tells a someone who's struggling to "work harder".
Food banks are socialism
Yep, some of the hardest working people I’ve ever known are poor as hell, and one is doing really well
@@LotharFriedrichFreiherrvon trust me when i tell you that you haven’t met enough Americans if you think they are lazy. Come meet me and my family and ill show you what working hard really is
@@LotharFriedrichFreiherrvon oh well im sorry that Americans decided to work smarter not harder friend. You might have lived here for 10 years but dont judge just because Americans are smarter than you. If you dont think so then why does America lead the world in space flight? Or have such great hospitals with the worlds best doctors just to mention a COUPLE. Why is the United States world's foremost economic and military power then??? Why does the us have the very best education??? And dont try and be smart with some sort of comment like the united states does not lead in one of the sectors I mentioned above because your lying to yourself, not me because i know friend. Why does foreigners say this country is utopia??? America has its problems just like any country but its doing way better than most even with the current administration. Dont hate just because Americans know how to build stuff way better than your country. Its brains,,,,,work smarter not harder lol
Agreed. White Boomers tell that to their impoverished children.
I'm 54 and my wife and I are VERY worried about our future, gas and food prices rising daily. We have had our savings dwindle with the cost of living into the stratosphere, and we are finding it impossible to replace them. We can get by, but can't seem to get ahead. My condolences to anyone retiring in this crisis, 30 years nonstop just for a crooked system to take all you worked for.

AMERICA IS MYSTERY BABYLON
America is truly a wonderland! People have cars, they have something to buy gasoline, but nothing to eat? What is an upside down world?
The most clever and underrated comment!
But, that is on purpose, to raise the food prices, so it will be a challenge to be able to support oneself. And in my country, we throw away food, we squander the food because we don't know how to eat healthy. Women are beautiful untill 23 years old, after that they grow fat and ugly.
Maravilla es tener un auto y gasolina economica 🤔
Theres a nice Mercedes pulling up for free food What a joke! All nice cars pulling in...they should be ashamed.
That was my first thought as well. But then it came into my mind, that it is the same as in Germany.
The American dream is for the banks……not for the people. Get it right.
Who owns the banks, media, technology?
The elite
Who happen to be Caucasian.
So true
And politicians.
What a scam in that food line! New mercedes, teslas, high performance sports cars- everyone is lying for some free food. America is truly lost.
100% zero spine
Thats how it is in orange county california.And its not a scam at all because even the homeless got access to plenty food just like that even more.There is no way you will go hungry in california during this recession.
They all bought those cars with car notes when they all had jobs; now they have to pay the car note and insurance note without a job. And they can't just sell it for any price; they have to get at least as much as they owe the bank on the note, impossible when there's no market for cars.
GTFHO people rolling up in Mercedes-Benz, Lexus, 50k Mini Vans….its not poverty!! It’s living out of your means….
2:10 Tesla drivers are looking rough nowadays...
My sister left her quarter in the shopping cart for a lesser fortunate person the other day. Some guy driving a huge Mercedes Benz, shoved his way to her buggy to retrieve the free quarter! This is how people like this stay on top. Squarely on the backs of others. its a damn shame!
That is disgraceful.
A ton of poor people drive junk, clapped out BMWs and Mercedes Benzes. Those cars are worthless when they get old and are unrepairable when they break.

@@chrisolds
100% correct my friend!!!
46:44 Dude was earning $100,000/month, but ran through his savings 3-months after losing his job? Did he save nothing for a rainy day? That's just insane!
100k a year Minus 30% taxes insurance so 70k a yr so less then 1500 per weed and in the city probably still can't afford to save much probably paid fees to cash out a 401k and had a empty bank account
@@kylemckennie2599 They said $100k/MONTH, that's 1.2M per year.
Yeah, that's just poor financial planning. With that kind a salary, he should be able to put 30% aside for investments and 10% away for savings every month.
With a 10% savings rate, he'd save 120K a year. Automating bank transfers and investing is the key.
The guy went broke very likely because he was paying too much for housing and cars. The recommendation is not to pay more than 28% of gross income for housing and ~10% for cars. However, 28% of 1.2 million is 336K a year. So, at that level of salary buying an expensive house even within the limit can be very costly if you lose your job. So a 6-12 month emergency fund with such big expenses is a must.
The American Dream spend it faster then you make it

I was a farmer (yes, I said, was). This breaks my heart. I had to sell my cattle because the cost of hay, grain, minerals, diesel, etc. went sky high. I sold my hogs off also. Farmers are having to sell because of rising prices and falling prices for cattle. I don’t know what consumers will do in the future? People need to find local farmers and buy from them. Better product than store bought.
Я небольшой фермер из России.. У нас проблема в другом - работы много и возможностей, много земли и очень хорошей земли, но атакуют крупные акулы и лобби, нет поддержки государства и нехватка оборотных средств, грабительские кредиты и практически невозможно найти частных инвесторов. Основная проблема все таки в отсутствии денег на развитие. Но у нас все таки работать и строить бизнес проще, со своей спецификой, но тем не менее. Пять лет назад я, практически без денег бросил жизнь в городе и уехал в деревню и начал работать. Конкуренции практически нет. Тоже занимаюсь свиньями. Но у нас нет таких возможностей как у вас. Хозяйство в 20-100 голов, но на большее уже нет возможностей, поэтому я смотрю на ваши фермы и по хорошему завидую и жалею, что мне такое невозможно. Очень жаль тех, кто теряет свое дело и работает в сельской местности.

Americans are brainwashed into believing that socialism is bad when all other countries have some form of national health care so they don't have to be bankrupt over their health.
That's the American healthcare system for you. It's ridiculous.
I was a plumber and welder before the pandemic, I was half way through an apprenticeship when the lockdowns began, I lost my job and the entire industry went under in my area, the bills stuck around though and everything I had built and saved since I separated from the military was gone within a year just trying to keep my head above water and hold out for the jobs to come back. They never did and I had to use my hail mary in the GI Bill so I can avoid default on my car note and bills, its been 3 years and I still haven't recovered, I'm going to be 30 next year and I'm still in debt, got out of homelessness by moving in with my parents and was forced to go back to my old line of work and join my local law enforcement (something I tried my best to avoid). I've gotten a lot of hate for becoming a cop from friends, family and strangers but they were the only ones who offered me a good job after years of looking, a whole lot of talk was going around about helping each other out but not a whole lot of walk.

I worked in Los Angeles for seven years at a non profit that supplied affordable housing for people. It was both rewarding and extremely frustrating to help people that really need it while also seeing one out of every seven applicants driving up in a 120k Mercedes’a a 3k Tag Huer watch, gaming the system. So much fraud and so out in the open that it’s disgusting.

Everything from grocery stores to cellphones companies to car dealers to gas and oil is just a huge scam. The whole U.S. is the center of all scamming in just about every business especially social media. This whole world; it's only going to get worse.
Everything that is written, the policies are all in favor of the rich people who get all money without even being there in person. The lawyers the landlords are the ones who appear in their behalf and they too get a part of the money. People will get kicked out no matter who they are. Children will be the ones who suffer the most.

Just like Reagans woman from Chicago that supposedly fraudently stole 150,000 dollars from the welfare system, problem was it was a lie , she did steal 5,000 dollars in relief money but was also convicted, sorry but I think you are a liar.
Is this video about this year?
That always been like that. People gaming the system in every way possible. I always need it extra help but never went to ask for. I feel embarrassing about my own situation that I can’t even ask for help
One of the things that causes poverty is the obsession for living a luxurious and rich lifestyle. I believe this is heavily influenced by celebrities and the entertainment world. It's sad.
People are encouraged to compete with their neighbours for the newest cars, made to feel entitled to the cream of luxury, effectively we are brainwashed to buy things we do not need, to make us feel we are achieving and worth it, all the time just making someone else richer. We are doing exactly what we have been conditioned to do. Sad really.
I agree, my neighbor is a postal
Worker and wife a secretary and they have $300,000 worth of new luxury vehicles, boat, and seadoos parked in their driveway yet they can’t afford to put an $8k roof on their 1200 sqft house.
Absolutely no, take a look at Dubai and Ireland. Poverty is main caused by excess regulation and high taxes.
No. It's because Clinton and his successors sent all of your real jobs to places like China.

The sad fact about this is, this food was being prepared to be thrown away, as it always been for decades. I work at a Airport and overnight I see so much unused food being thrown away nightly. The airport, cruse industry, and restaurant industry's excuse is " Avoiding Lawsuits" . It's like even though people in the United States have this illusion of owning, yet we all rent and borrow like crazy. It's so sad we just work to pay things off.
I've been renting from foreigners here with visa for years, funny how they can buy our homes and land and not even be American citizens!
I've heard of some countries using fridges and keeping them outside so ppl don't go hungry and restaurants cut back on the organics waste
I worked @ Sacramento International Airport. The huge amount of food being tossed daily is crazy.
The Food Court has several restaurant vendors. One example is from the Pizza/Pasta Shop. They were tossing pizza out every hour. Not only by the slice but entire whole ones. Staff is not permitted to take any home.
You are So right. After 30 years, I paid off my home that I built on land I bought.
The day I paid it off felt like any other . Because I know it is only mine for as long as I can hang on to it tooth and nail.

It seems strange to see people with cars lining up for a food bank but in reality, in the US if you don't have a car you don't have a job, you don't have anything at all. Car ownership is 99% mandatory. You can do without a car, I do, I get around by bike or bus but it means being far outside the US mainstream.

There is NO EXCUSE FOR ANY AMERICAN to be homeless at this point, we send BILLIONS in money alone to other countries, not to mention aid and other supplies that go to all of these other countries, those resources need to go to Americans for awhile. People shouldn't have to work as hard as they do, risk everything to lose it while all this money, aid and other supplies go overseas. There needs to be much better protections for ALL Americans when things like disaster and plandemics happen so that no one loses their homes or their livelihoods because of something totally and completely out of their control. We need to take care of our people better. We are America and no matter our differences we should be able to agree on basic principles. Such as protections from things we have NO control over.

Nothing says "getting out of the hole" like buying what appears to be a decent used car for $3k and the fucker dying and selling the dead car for $300. I swore then and there no more cars. Ever. I hate the things and when I move back to my home state to retire I'm even giving up my driver's license and will just get a state ID.
@@alexcarter8807 If you can't afford it, don't buy it. You can get a new decent car for 20k, why would you buy a 60k car if you don't have the means and have high monthly payments for years?
A car is purely for transportation, getting you from point A to B.
A Hyundai does the same job than a Benz or Tesla. You wanna show off? Fine. But then don't stand in the free food line a year later.
Most luxury cars have very little resale value. It would be pointless in most cases. The average luxury car loses half its value by the time it's five years old.
@@RMSTitanicWSL That is a known fact. Your problem if you still decide to buy such a car without having the means to keep up payments in the future. Common sense would direct you to make purchase decisions while regarding all possible future events like job change or loss etc., which DO happen.
I assume some level of intelligence if you are holding a good paying job that allows you to qualify for a high loan on a luxury car. Where is that intelligence when you have nothing to fall back on if times get tough?
There are poor people that have not lived above their means, those are the ones that have a right to be in the free food line.
I’m from Dallas Tx and didn’t realize COVID impacted the oil industry. The Old Oil man & his friends had a bad vibe. The Family is very humble God bless them, and Miriam was so kind to raise that money for them.
It absolutely had huge effects on the oil industry.
I was working in Midland when they shut everything down, but on my days off. I got a call from the guy I worked for and he told me not to bother going back out there because everything was shutting down.
Even drilling rigs that were in the process of moving to drilling locations were turned around and sent back to their storage yards.
Rigs that were drilling, finished their jobs and then were “stacked” (the term for being put in storage), and the workers were laid off.
A lot of jobs are affected by the oilfield, truck drivers, supply companies, rental companies, service companies, etc.
Many people don’t realize how many non oilfield jobs support the oilfield and how the oilfield supports the local businesses like retail sales, grocery stores, restaurants, and many more.
The majority of the people in Midland Odessa are there to work and don’t live there so it’s no wonder that when the oil business goes bad, then the entire city shuts down.
@@williamcarr3976 wow so it was like a domino effect. As obvious as it may be I never really put thought on just how many sectors/businesses actually link directly back to the oil industry. It makes sense though seeing how oil plays a major role in the Economy. It’s so unfortunate to hear all the workers were laid off. I hope things recovered for you and your industry now that some time has gone by!
What I don’t understand is how ppl keep buying $300k homes but things are so bad? Nothing makes sense

This was hard to watch man, feel so sorry for a lot of good people in the States. I myself thank the heavens that my cradle stood in the Netherlands, it must be a real sh*tty situation to being thrown out of your house here. There are several safety nets in our country before you are going to sleep on the streets etc, long way to go in other parts of the world. Keep strong Americans, you deserve much better. Hopefully things will change on federal level in the States, otherwise it is going to continue a 'free for all' situation, that is not good. In the Netherlands ( not everything is perfect here but a lot, and I mean a lot things are ) the government made some impopulair decisions last years to save the greater good. Some dishonest politicians as well last few years, but the people will deal with them soon any time. Nobody in the world should be homeless, it is outrageous.
As an American I want to thank you for your kind words. I never EVER thought I would see this happen in my lifetime. I have a 4 year old Granddaughter and I fear for her future here in the states and it just breaks my heart that I have to feel this way. My husband and I are in our late 40's early 50's and are trying to buy a house. I can remember just a few years ago looking at homes for sale in certain know areas we are looking now and what you could get for your money back then was spectacular! But now for that same amount of money you are lucky if you can find a tiny little house that needs A LOT of work. The interest rates are unbelievable and those same areas while still better then most places as far as property tax I have still seen that a lot of them have literally doubled in price just over the past year. Our property taxes are supposed to help fund our schools and I don't really see what our states are doing for the schools. My Granddaughter just started pre kindergarten and you should have seen the list of things we had to get her for school, paper towels, tissues, wipes, glue, all kinds of things! I remember when my kids went to school you got them the basics and the school supplied the rest. They don't take the kids on field trips anymore and I remember especially when I was in school we went of many field trips in each grade. Extracurricular activities like sports, drams clubs, etc are becoming nonexistent now because the schools don't have the funding for it. Sorry I am rambling on but it just makes me so sad to see the state of my country and the way our Politicians don't do what they are elected to do anymore.Again, thank you for your kind words, from your mouth to God's ears 😉,
People get what they voted for. California deserves that.
Its Heartbrakeing to see how Millions of People are becoming insolvent and Homeless in the once richest Country in the World America 💔💔💔

Here... the Netherlands. Is this the American dream I learned at our Dutch school? Terrible this. We had the same disease but everything went on as usual, restaurants were closed but many companies have been helped by the government. If you are ill here in the Netherlands, you pay an excess of 385 euros and after that you are entitled to free treatment for the rest of the year, even if you lie in bed with 10 broken arms and two broken lungs. No one lost his or her job here... unemployment is sadly low and there are too many jobs. Okay, we don't drive such big cars as you do, and we have smaller houses, but happiness is not in things but in a healthy environment. A government that is there for you when you are having a hard time. We pay for that (high taxes) but on the other hand, everyone in the Netherlands is well off. If you are homeless here, then it is your own fault... and even then you will be helped.
A Tesla in this queue is ridiculous, that's not poverty, that's just bad money management
Really? How long can you last if you stopped getting deposits.
My debt to income ratio is irrelevant once I lose money. Wether making millions or minimum wage, can’t pay bills with nada.
In a normal downturn that would be true. But this whole situation was anything but normal, and a car is not a liquid asset. It takes time and buyers to convert it into cash and both were scarce early on in the pandemic.
Sell the 50K+ shiny car and get into a cheaper car or use public transport before coming into the food bank.
Actually it's great money management getting free food even tho you are rich
@@zukritzeln I hadn’t thought of it this way. An asset is only valuable if someone else wants and is able to buy it.
Where are the friggin big mega walmarts and jewel and ingles?? Where are the McDonald's and restaurants and farmers who have excess crops?? I work in the catering arena and I can confirm from seeing it myself, nearly every time, after a big event, wedding, or convention, that tons of food is wasted. It all gets thrown out without regard for the kind of help they could offer, as shown in this video, if they would just donate their foods! Fresh veggies, soft bread rolls, braised meats, you name it. It all gets tossed into the landfills. It's so insane and heartbreaking.
Also, hardly no victory gardens are grown in this country... my grandma had a small one, for just in case of whatever may be. People are not gonna be prepared for the kind of hunger crisis we will surely and sadly face here in the US 😢
Can't pay for home rent. In Asia, being bangkrupt, people usually go home to their hometown and live with their parents. It seems most of these people don't have "good relationship" with their parents or brothers/sisters. When people know someone becoming homeless, they will give bad label to his parents/brother/sister for being "mean" or "cruel".
But the government have no problem sending billions to Ukraine and elsewhere in the world.Over 700 military bases.
I have great respect and sympathy for Ukranians and their predicament. Their problems are generally much more serious than the Mercedes or tesla owner in line at the foodbank...
Its just the overall budget of the military thats the problem. Ukraine aid is a drop in the bucket.
This happened in 2020, not this year.
Biden
@Michael they've slashed the military budget senseless. Come on man, that's What the democrats do, right out of their Playbook. That's funny though, democrats have raised military spending
Giving food away, "regardless of the income" like this documentary points out is a stupid thing to do in America. I had a friend who had 3 houses that he rented out, and he was living in his own house. He's rich by any standard. Wife had great job. But they went to food banks like this to get their food -food meant for the poor and the struggling but many greedy, rotten people take advantage of it. There should be an income verification and the money saved should go to other assistance programs
Very true, they need to verify income, and the neediest go to the front of the line, but the greediest are allowed to take the best portions/choices of food! When I had to go to a food bank in California and I qualified in the past, I gave up going, because I would see homeowners lining up at the front of the line daily receiving free hot meals/free groceries, and the lines were extra long, sometimes I’d be told we’re out of food, and just leave empty handed. Some non poor people want free hot meals so they don’t have to cook at home, or to save money, not because they’re struggling financially! The system is messed up, and unfairness is a great shame!
"How do you think i got so rich??"
Someone, a Frenchman i think once observed that behind every great fortune is a crime.

Surprised your friends that guy
I'm a very old American. I can never remember a time when there weren't a lot of people saying American was failing, brink of chaos, end of the world. Those people seemed dumb to me. America instead got stronger, richer and more powerful. Absolutely if you go into the 0.00001% of the US where drug addicts live it does look like end times. But I prefer to not hang around drug addicts...and I get not "all" homeless are drug addicts....only 98% are.
you might be suffering from dementia if this is what you got from the video.
You arent broke if youre driving a $60k car. Taking food from families who are really broke while you drive a luxury car is gross. If you just lost your job last week, you had a week to sell that car.
While California is the richest state in the U.S. it also has some of the worst problems with poverty. A lot of that wealth is generated by large companies that don't necessarily sell their products or spend their profits in California. Peoples' paychecks are also effected by California's high taxes meaning a lot of the state's wealth is owned by the government. Finally California shares what is left very unequally among a huge population. Unfortunately company headquarters, luxurious government buildings, and private yachts don't help combat poverty.

In Germany, Switzerland, and several other European countries, if you're made redundant after dedicating 11 years to a company, you can expect to receive 80% of your salary along with health insurance coverage for up to a year.

Im 40. I have a wife and 2 kids. I drive a truck for a living and wife stays home with kids. We rent. We have 2 old cars that work great. I saved most of my money for years. Never borrowed any money. Never just bought a bunch of crap. Due to managing my money since a younger age, i learned how to work on cars. I change tires, struts, all fluids, brakes and anything the cars may need. We eat a healthy, simple one meal a day diet. Kids eat what they want, when they want. We played life smart as if money actually has value. I stashed and stashed my paycheck in my savings account. I have close to 6 digits. I navigated money as if my life depended on it and it certainly paid off. Start saving and stop spending. Buy necessities only. Buy a $5k car, even if you cant do the work yourself. Still cheaper and no one can take it from you. Payments=slavery. No matter who youre making payments to.

Nice. Being financially responsible is super important and goes a long way if people can spare some extra for savings. It is a great safety buoy in time of need, you can even invest in a side business or 2nd house for rental and make passive income.

There are places like Florida and California where insurance companies have chosen to double and triple their rates so landlords have no choice but to pass along the added expense. Also you have to look at how landlords were screwed out of rents due to the pandemic eviction moratorium. Those landlords had to pay the mortgage regardless. Now the renters are reaping the end result.
The dream changed. Now everyone prefers to be on social media all day, play video games, smoke weed and blame everyone but themselves for their problems. We don’t care about buying a home because we don’t understand money or how to fix anything.
This new dream has been highly achievable.
That is true......the problem with being a social media star is the country cannot maintain a middle class without a strong manufacturing base. Look at the more prosperous days post ww2, with all the manufacturing and the single income families. They sustained because of the strong manufacturing base and all the jobs that support it.
A strong family network is very important in times like this. Where are the brothers, sisters and relatives of the people being kicked to homelessness? I guess one major problem in America is social and emotional - not only economic.
that’s why it’s called: “a-ME-rica” cuz people only care about themselves. Kinda forced to.
Lol, family.
US and familiy are not going together.
US destroyied family by forcing people to never marry each other to change sex, teaching people that is ok to be gey, trans etc.

In Poland, poor people walk to social welfare centers because they cannot afford to keep a car. For the price of 2 liters of gasoline you can easily eat lunch, for example in a school canteen. How much fuel did these poor people in the USA use to come in their cars for free food, which, from what we can see, was probably cheaper than the fuel.

don't drink nor take drugs... go to the gym... learn things... Don't watch TV nor have social media
This is how I fixed my mind.

im old millennial born 1981 41 years old. there has been a war on my generation for over 10 years now. any time you hear millennial its something bad we are always attacked and made fun of. meanwhile, hardly any of us ever had a chance to buy a house for a fair price because we were not far enough along in our working careers to have saved for a downpayment. A lot of millennials people age 41 and younger are very depressed. a lot of us come from families that were 1 parent or divorced or something like that because broken homes became rampant in the 1990s when we were growing up before we were adults. it feels like the generations older than us Gen x and boomers all dislike us millennials and younger. a lot of us were never married or had a kid either. im a good guy smart and have worked plenty hard since i was a teen. yet. never married. no kids. never owned my own home. and now, im paying crazy high rent. it seems there is no hope i will ever get a an opportunity for some good deals in life like previous generations got. its almost like my generation was targeted to be the first gen that will end up living in a more communist system. in recent years huge apartment buildings are popping up everywhere. they refuse to build us enough single family homes with yards etc. they want to cram us in shitty apartments with high rent and turn us into slaves. this is why many younger people are giving up and refusing to work or not working much. feels like there is nothing to work hard for.
As a parent of a millennial, I so thoroughly agree with you. Your generation hit with one major financial crisis after another. I'm disgusted by the current attitudes towards your generation. Inequitable distribution of wealth started in the 80's under Reagan. It's just getting worse.
@@williebeamish5879 I have always thought a millenial is born in Millenium?
Your generation and below want all the open boarders, woke, trans garbage & welfare and now it's piper paying time,
I agree. But did you take out a 100K+ student loan that set you back first thing? Alot did.
In fact, it is a war on humanity in general, a war on human consciousness and it is going on since before you were born. It is going on for thousands of years
Every body been walking around with their eyes glued to cell phones and playing video games and listening to rap music while the elite was stealing the dream from under our noses
We can ignore reality, but we cannot ignore the consequences of ignoring reality.
Yep that’s right
I was fornicating!
I like video games....the scum you're thinking of is Gen z and tiktok mixed with social media. That's why most women don't give a shit about the C.I.A assassins, creating or building wonders, space exploration, beautiful nature trails...none of that...but they will make up 2 million different gender identities that mean absolutely nothing and talk about their favorite color and footwear like we all should be so interested in that useless boring trash.
Narcissistic and boring are the 2 worst character flaws you can combine together....and Gen z most of them have both...god they are the most boring self absorbed for absolutely NO REASON AT ALL people I've ever seen.....
22:00 why did she divorce her husband? He wasn't 6 foot or taller? He wasn't making 150k a year? He wasn't willing to he in an open relationship and her maintain an Instagram and an onlyfans? And he should get cucked too?
I could care less about any modern single mother getting evicted. Unless they're a widow, it's likely their fault and their feminist harpy attitude that makes any man miserable and forced to distance himself
My question is where did all these people put their $600+ in unemployment and stimulus?
Rent yo....
I think that's wicked of the landlord to evict!!
I’m so happy for you, Tonika, so happy, I cried WITH you, watching you go through Court and being able to reach an agreement with your sensible Landlady. Thank you, Landlady. Thank you, Social Worker and Association. It’s so nice to see someone get the help they fully deserve.
{{{God bless, guide and protect you and yours, Tonika - ALWAYS!!}}}
May you be spared further griefs, IJN🙏🏻❤️🥰😘🌹
I couldn't watch past the armed locksmith evicting the single mother of two from their dwelling into homelessness during the pandemic stating he had no sympathy for her, or anyone else's plight. Sickening .
Yep, a Money, greed based society is doomed to failure.
Maybe she shouldn't have left her boyfriend.
I'm with you on this..but if he did have empathy he couldn't do this job
Lots of eviction videos out there, most comments disparage the renters. It's a class thing
And the ones higher up the food chain, the ones who make the decisions to evict---the pain they cause never touches THEM
Actually when the stimulus cheques went out i noticed alot of people leaving both walmart and cosco with large big screen tvs
Priorities I guess! Can't live without watching crap out of Hollywood!
Why don't we see this generosity with older folks who have not only lost their jobs, but their homes as well? This disparity is unfathomable & shocking.
Thank you. I'm 57 and profoundly deaf all my life. I had to flee the country in mid-2018 to save myself financially and spiritually. I don't want to go back. There's a thief over there somewhere who might have a bullet or a knife blade with my name on it.
