As for the guy that was happy that the boat is moving, he is actually the owner/manager of the boats and even has a ferrying service to go to the airport. Which appears to be the only way there.

      @@thejonbrownshow8470 oh believe me, I’ve seen it at this point. This series is hilarious.
      Being a census enumerator was usually pretty basic but covid and the politics at the time unfortunately made things a lot more interesting.
      You actually don’t need much just to work as an enumerator, they take most any adult that signs up for basic enumerating (though there are some management or specialists for difficult cases that probably have deeper requirements). You just need to apply at the right time because its a temporary position.
      Most of the job is pretty routine you get assigned a list of addresses that need to be checked and ask any residents if they have taken the census survey yet and then fill it out with them if they haven’t.
      In an uncooperative house you just try and get the number of people living there if you can. Assuring people who want privacy that you don’t even technically need their names is usually enough to get most people to cooperate for a few minutes.
      I worked in a college town at the time so I had the extra fun challenge of dealing with a bunch of properties that had residents that didn’t count for the survey or else that had people that would count but had moved on an so I’d need to interrogate roommates and neighbors as to how many people and very roughly who they were.

    I love these videos (and your uninteresting and odd places videos) so much because it makes me think about the worlds of the games differently. The unemployment videos show which developers care about making more immersive worlds and which ones create the characters only because they're needed for the purpose of the game. The uninteresting places videos show that the amount of effort put into making maps and level design is super important to overall vibes of a game. Love these vids, keep it up!

    Discovered your channel through this video a couple weeks ago, and I just have to say I really love this video and everything else behind it. The unemployment ones, the unusual places ones, the small things nobody notices, and the breath holding competitions. I feel like this is a great place to enjoy the finer things in video games and just slow down and take it in. I think any video idea that goes along those same lines is what makes this place special. Not too deep so that it turns into a theory channel, as that can be too much. But noticing the things just on the surface that people don't even think about.
    As i write this, I have maybe a loose idea to explore, also around economics ironically. I wonder what the economics would be like if currency exchanges could be done between different games. I almost wonder if you could get, like, 1 coin in super Mario 64 or something and somehow trade your way up to like a mansion in GTA. Just kind of mind wandering.
    Anyway, just wanted to share my appreciation and thoughts. Will be looking forward to what else comes along through here!
