"It's the great equalizer" she said while sitting in a bathtub that probably costs more than any house I've lived in.
We got the Akira virus, but instead of an out of control psychic powers we got slight respiratory distress, psycho biker clowns we got Karens, shoplifters and 'peaceful' protestors...
It DID cancel the Olympics in Japan like Akira though.
one of the worst things was how kids who were being abused got lo9cked into their homes with their abusers and completely ignored by the people who were supposed to be keeping an eye on that
You wanna know the best thing about the varus? We (both millennials and gen z'ers) got our own back in my day story from it we can tell young people in the future to be annoying as f*ck to the younger people
Of course we have to blow it entirely out of proportion.
"Back in my day, we literally fucking died if we went outside, or got with 10 feet of any other person."
HEY! Only big pharma is allowed to price gouge! Government do something!
What this video reminded me is that price gouging is illegal unless you're an oil conglomerate.
Oil companies don't set prices, the market, supply chain, speculators, and Government decides prices. During 2020 in the US, the price for a gallon was a dollar in most areas, since demand was way down. Current US prices for gas is due to cuts to the supply chain, less production due to Government, and higher demand since production cuts are in effect.
@@My-Name-Isnt-Important
I probably should have been more specific.
I was referring primarily to OPEC.
Oil exporters have nothing on those American pharmaceuticals giants that Jack up their prices every year, oil prices goes up and down according to demand.
Or big pharmacy industries.
Matt and Noah the hand sanitizer scalpers got treated like the trash they are, but with a work ethic like that they would make for successful bankers, and then they would be hailed as pillars of society.
I'm just thinking that most people would do the same, but because they didn't suddenly they say it's wrong.
@@rayanderson5797 As long as you are a winner in something, that something is fine.
Nobody who succeeds then turns around and say "stop, this is wrong". If they do, it's only 'after' having made massive profits. And despite the regret/guilt, they sure as heck don't give away an equal amount of what they made. Or everything they made thanks to what they made doing something wrong.
The only ones who say something is wrong, are those that didn't profit of whatever was wrong. That's how everything is.
Yes, because they were small times, private citizens doing it. Had it been big corporations, then it would have been fine. Heck, they do it all the time and nobody really cares. But two nobodies? They are easy to hate, because it's a concentrated target. Two people. A corporation? Hundreds of people making decision, and you don't even know who they are.
Many hundreds of years later you'd find them digging tunnels under the streets of whichever major metropolis was the most wealthy.

These Tales of The Varus videos make you realise that there are so many stupid and/or irresponsible people out there that if we went up against an actual apocalyptic event , humanity as a whole would be *screwed*
Funny part is that the people who were "responsible", were actually the worst, most evil of the bunch. They're the ones that allowed the massive hike in crime, the ones that actually called those snitching hotlines or the police when people were out walking their dogs, and so on.
All for a virus that won't do shit to you if you exercise.
... And that most of those people were still considered intelligent enough to serve in a public office
My mother was all about 5G conspiracy, that people dying is a hoax, all until she was on respirator due to Covid. She quickly changed her mind.
Covid taught me that if a zombie outbreak happened, we really would be screwed.
Yes Alana, it was that bad.
And by 'it' I mean the greatest wealth transfer from the lower classes to the 1 percent in history, who's businesses and investments were interestingly unaffected or left as the only option in many markets while local home town commerce was squashed under the government boot.
Lets not get into the deaths caused because of people being made to be terrified of going to the hospital and dying from treatable diseases, people who has and will die due to missing cancer screenings and thus not getting timely and life saving treatment, suicides as a result of loneliness, the dumbing down of an entire generation as a result of disrupting both schooling and cognitive development and lastly how pharmaceutical companies basically extorted third world and poorer nations like mine via price gouging
Imagine your neighbourhood has a mom-and-pop restaurant. Government declares that people are starving and all restaurants have to give food in exchange of IOU notes. When people owning small restaurants (who have to keep paying for the business location, staff wages, and ingredients *right now*) complain that this is financially ruining them, they are falsely equivaled with MacDonald's by some activist on national TV. Even if they initially survive, people avoid actually paying the IOUs and they are very likely to go bankrupt. MacDonald's buys out the location.
Now swap "food" with "housing" and government says the above scenario is perfectly fine - look up "eviction moratorium" that is destroying small landlords and forcing them to sell their properties to Blackrock etc.
(Think what you want about landlords - there's a genuine opportunity to be an asshole who does the bare minimum and leeches rent, because you can't move apartments willy-nilly - but the way "eviction moratoriums" were implemented was simply a bad idea. Lot of people simply went "cool, I don't have to pay rent" even if they could've afforded it.)
People in general quickly forgot how bad they acted during the lockdowns with the snitching and forced vaccinations and shit.
16:00 Based.
I am so glad you chose to keep watching more of his content. Keep it up.
When the Varus hit, it didn’t really effect me, I was considered an essential worker and I just worked like normal during the pandemic. Never got it either.
Same, atleast there were a lot less bots on the road. No one going 60 in a 70 fast lane, with 30 cars behind them.
@@Owlmare Fast lanes dont exist bum
I remember when the restaurant I worked at had to get certified to allow customers in for dining in, there was a week delay before we got it we had severals signs saying we weren’t certified yet to dine in but people just don’t listen
"oh no, i could catch an illness that has a lower death-rate than the flu if i went to this restaurant, better wait until it magically becomes impossible for that sickness to spread there!" you took the vaccine, the 50 boosters, and wore your mask yes?
And the crime still hasn't stopped 4 years later. It was wild seeing how clean the air was with most everyone staying home in our area not to mention amazingly quiet.
The Varus was something
What a wacky time it was to be alive. Aside from thousand dead grannies, it was pretty fun
no fun
I quote people like me for my description: "Didn't know my lifestyle was called quarantine."@@barrelsynapse
@@barrelsynapse And dead adults surprisingly. The minecraft youtuber that got bullied off the internet died of covid, Bashurverse.
people was sneatching on chrismass in canada to prevent people to see there familly
Just like the USSR.
He didn't cover the Tik Tok nurses. Those people needed firing and jail time.
Those were some real return to monka years.
I just got this reccomended when i have covid
This is some bad juju
Just gotta say, love your laugh
oh god that HL2 music in the beginning such a vibe
The more clips I watch of Alana, the more based she becomes.
Also she should watch some Floridaman content.
So, just as a note about prison labor, I'm not saying it is right to make an imprisoned person work or whatever, but the price we pay per prisoner across the US is actually about the same amount as the average income for the citizen. They are getting food, board, and health care at a better rate than many American citizens. And so them being paid very little for any additional benefit they provide, is absolutely miniscule.
Also, prison labor is only profitable for a private prison when they receive government subsidies. The practice itself, like actual slavery, is extremely uneconomical compared to industrial practices, even back when slavery was legal in the US. With a more industrial and less restrictive practice of industry, leading to higher gains overall for everyone involved.
I can never conceive of how someone commits a crime and is left "paying for their crimes" in a cell receiving free food, a rent-free cell with a warm bed, a gym and a sunbath, and when you put them to do some useful service for the good people, lunatics call it slave labor, what kind of simulation of reality is that?
Only "good" prisoners are allowed and trusted to work. Most prisoners want to work, so they have something to help them pass the time and earn good points for a possible early release due to good behavior. Prisoners that are apart of work programs are usually more well adjusted after release, are typically not assaulted while serving their time, and typically have an easier time serving their sentence.
9:15 good to see this one hasn't changed.
Kind of weird thing about my area, we never really had that much of a problem with the whole toilet paper thing. Yeah there was a bit of it here and there but I never had a problem getting ahold of toilet paper myself. The problem our area had was, by far, more a shortage of hand sanitizer. We couldn't find any for a long while. I had to settle for whatever off brand hand sanitizer I could get from a gas station near my job at the time.
The fact that people weren’t allowed to go out makes sense. You cant act normal in a pandemic since people can die when they get it. And if they dint then they can get other problems from it. But how people acted and how it was handled was not done right in many places
Your roommate was in the same boat as my mother. She was a nurse in the ICU for years before and unfortunately during COVID. You could tell it really took a number on her seeing a lot death like that.
25:41 holly shit thats Rowan!
Less gooo, Pt.2
This video is so funny
Fun fact: they never really kept the stolen goods, they re-sold them for real low prices and used the money for drugs.

To try and explain some of the craziness regarding the arrests or lack thereoff during Covid in some areas, it mostly came down to health concerns and high prison populations. Basically, cramming prisoners into prison cells is 'fine' when everyone is healthy, but when Covid hit, there were very real health concerns. Due to the packed nature of prisons, prisoners and prison guards were at a much higher risk of Covid because if someone caught it, it could easily spread throughout the whole prison. Many prisons and counties and states did their best to try and space out the prisoners and limit exposure, but that still meant a lot more room and care had to be put into the situation than they otherwise would've. Which then led to the fear of running out room or trying to cram prisoners back into more cramped and potentially dangerous conditions. I don't disagree that they went about it in the wrong way, but the reason behind it were very real health and safety concerns.
I pooped in the garden to get here
Omagah, that`s the first time I heard her speak russian.
WOW
hell yeah sushi
Opf, looks like the video had an audio problem during the showcase of shoplifting
I am pretty sure it was to mute the music playing in the background of internet historians video probably because of copyright.
you still need to react to the luxury cruise episode by internet historian about the legend of the shit cruise that was out there for like a week to a few weeks
15:19 lmao
No mask, no vaccine #PureBlood
Celebrities are far more cringe than Chris-chan.
What is up with the audio I feeling like I’m watching this in the 1900s
i watch ya balkan school thingy w got ma respect
The soft on crime thing is still around. Even worse now.
Fun (maybe not so fun) Fact: I live in Missouri, the State of Misery.
What did she say in her language?
ABOBA
God she's so cute 🫠
Stephen Colbert and the two Jons are like the only comedians in late night shows that are like *genuinely funny*, even without a script. Their improv game is on point.
No.
We didn't have snitchlines in Australia.
16:02 someone said comedy gold ? More like comedy coal tbh I used to watch jimmy Fallon for the guests but now I don’t even care man
As someone who caught the varus 3 times due to other people's stupidity, the last time was literally from a dude coughing on people because "The varus isn't even real the government is lying to you", I really would have prefered to have just died.
What are you talking about Jimmy Fallon is hilarious he's probably the only funny one around
comment for algorithm
The late Night Shows, that was okay on humor in the Pandemic Years were Stephen Colbert, Seth Meyers and... of course... John Oliver. Atleast to me, they made a good Job from Home Office.
But i only watched their YT-Clips/Videos.... im from Europe afterall^^
Only funny host is Conan O'Brian
Scalpers are actually fine it's when they freaking rise the price over 100% of the retail that it becomes an issue but just buying it and raising it by 50% if there's a shortage then that's just supply and demand but there's a fine line between profit and price gouging
She speaks Russian wow i didn't not expect that 😅😅
Just wanna remind everyone, all this dystopian chicanery was over something that caused in reality very mild respiratory distress amid other symptoms for about a week or two to anyone over 50... it makes you think what the world would turn into if something that made people drop on the spot came along.
Tbf that's as far from a "very mild respiratory distress" as it gets. There are still outbreaks and people are still dying from it, it also increases the risk of many other health problems appearing, including heart failure and fatigue. The main difference between Covid and most of the other epidemics is that Covid 100% artificial in nature, hence why it is so unpredictable and why it is so hard to deal with.
Very early numbers from China were super scary though. Like 5-10% lethality rates, but at that point we were still at the stage when the media downplayed it all as just some meme flu back in 2020 January. When it started to spread out of China it became apparent that those early Chinese numbers were wrong by a lot.
I sympathize with people being scared of it during the first month or two, but this Covid thing went way off the rails after that. Vaccines rushed to the market and pushed onto groups not at risk. Yea, if you are +50 or are in a risk group, vaccine made absolute sense. For others, it became much more debatable. In the end vaccine didn't even halt transmission like at first advertised.
Overall the whole Covid thing was an ever changing landscape of confusion. Also, no i am not saying that Covid vaccine will kill/sterilize you or infect you with the 5G. I am saying that rushing it and pressuring it into everyone like the way we did was irresponsible, and it's down to luck nothing too bad came out of it. Giving the vaccine companies a free pass for all side effect related lawsuits so we can get "some" vaccine as soon as possible for a disease like this to push on the entire population just seems irresponsible to me. At that point we already had the data that young and the generally healthy people were mostly unaffected by it, when compared to regular seasonal influenza.
@@MidWitPride To be fair, that's China, the 10% death rate might also include the sick that we're shit to stop the spread.
@@uzbekistanplaystaion4BIOScrek Covid was really quite bad if you were in a risk group of elderly and such, but for your average TH-cam user(16-40 year old) it was a mild flu in vast majority of cases.
@@coupdegrace2767 No, I mean like someone coughs in an elevator and 20 people die bad... the entire thing was a mess and *SOME* goverments made a mad dash for a power grab.
Face reveal please?
The pandemic showed me how unrelatable most celebrities really are, and I think its gotten worse since then. Its hard to relate to someone living in a multi-million dollar mansion and making more money in a month than what the average person would make in their lifetime. And don't get me started on how egotistical or narcissistic they can be.
I thought price gouging was capitalism. Nice to know it's illegal.
30:49 For anybody that doesn't get it, she's actually right. The American 13th Amendment literally says slavery is illegal EXCEPT for criminals in prison, literally implying that slavery is legal with prisoners.
@@brucenatelee Work program are voluntary and reserved for only "good" prisoners, and most prisoners want to take part in these work programs. It's not slavery and to claim it is, really reduces the meaning and historical significance of what actual slaves have had to deal with.
