    I swear watching old Last Week Tonight's is just "heres what's going to go wrong, we try and fix it but the bad thing happens anyways because the world sucks".

      It’s also crazy as 90% of the stuff that was going on pre-2020 or even pre-2017 we are still dealing with today. It’s just different faces.
      As an example the protests at Furgenson, MO in 2014. Literally the same thing in 2020 and yet everytime a white police officer murders an innocent black American, white media screams “it’s a racial reckoning” than like two minutes later we completely forget about it.
      Or Trump refusing to accept the election results when he loses. Forget 2024 or 2020, or even the 2016 general election. During the 2016 GOP Presidential election primaries Trump screamed fraud after losing the Iowa caucuses and the Wisconsin primary to Cruz. But was completely fine when he started winning later on.
      And than there is gun control and gun violence. Been going on for years, even decades, and Republicans never budge. Really wish democrats had a trifecta in Washington with a super majority in the Senate so we can finally solve issues Republicans have refused to even think about for decades. Unfortunately that will never happen because people in rural and exurban America vote republican no matter what.

    Posting on 1 July 2024, the 182nd day of the year. The U.S. has had 260 public shootings this year. 274 people have been killed and 1130 have been injured in these incidents. Anyone who thinks this is okay at this point is deliberately ignoring what's actively happening around them.

      Nobody pretends it is "okay" though, the problem is that conservatives are cowards and pretend to be against it but actively oppose any legislation that actually meaningfully solves the issue: Gun control

    It is surprising that in the 21st century, we still take oral yes and no and go with the opinion of the speaker of which side was louder. We have buttons and computers that can tally the results, but instead we go with a personal opinion on volume. No wonder nothing gets changed.

    That song at the end of this episode was fantastic. It's been a while so I had forgotten it, but as soon as they showed the kid in the middle that starts it off I had a massive hit of nostalgia that reminded me of how epic the song was at the time this episode aired. Kind of wish the song was uploaded separately and available for download.
