"People used to think the apocalypse was what dystopia was gonna look like. Make no mistake, we live in one. It's just a whole lot more boring"
literally exactly what i thought of when i saw this video
yea lol
I'm not sure apocalypse means what you think it means
@@amelliamendel2227 they mean that the apocalypse would be what people thought of when they imagined a dystopia - not that we live in an apocalypse, we just live in a really boring dystopia.
I don’t know what’s worse. The situation we’re in now, or Ragnarok/Cataclysm/Armageddon/The Apocalypse.
Y’all wanna hear something real fucked up?
My sister has severe stomach issues and can go days to weeks throwing up anything she tries to eat/drink.
Recently her doctor prescribed her an anti nausea medication that she needs to not die from dehydration/starvation from vomiting. We were told it would be 30 pills.
When we went to cvs to pick it up, we received only 9 pills. When I asked why, the poor ladies behind the counter told me that had to bargain with the damn insurance company to get my sister’s pills to a low enough dose so we could be covered.
The kicker?
If we were giving the full 30 days supply of ANTI NAUSEA PILLS, we would have to pay out of pocket 43,000 DOLLARS. We’d need to take a second mortgage out just to get meds that prevent my sis from throwing up every time she eats.
Fuck America’s health care system.
But the free market is so amazing isn’t it /s
@@BudewFan_not the free market but those who use the free market to privatize the free market so only they can benefit from the free market.
Without RAMQ (Quebec Health Insurance, it's run by the government), my medication would cost at least 2000 dollars a month. I just wouldn't be able to live alone/be independent without it, and am so glad it's covered. I wouldn't be able to work most jobs without it since, y'know, functioning hands are important, but then by proxy I wouldn't be able to afford the medication because I can't work. Knowing the USA, they'd probably also mark up my medication to be like 10000 per shot.
That’s f**king awful. 😞
Holy sh*t, I feel extremely bad for you and your sister, I hope things get better.
Funny thing about the ‘bootstrap’ analogy.
The term was originally meant to mean an accomplishing an impossible task, particularly used by the lower or working class. The point is that you physically CANNOT lift yourself up by your bootstraps.
I am genuinely impressed that big corpo has succeeded in making the phrase take a complete 180.
My job is considered "unskilled labor" and let me tell you- the managers have no idea how to do the job. I haven't even been there two years and I've outlasted at least 6 new hires that couldn't do the job. I'm not payed enough for this :(
Yep and they'll never promote you even though you totally deserve to be promoted, I assume you don't have the requisite piece of paper... And if you do ,you should quit and re-apply because they only hire management from outside the company
Personally I found that it's not about how hard you work, it's about how hard the person who can promote you thinks you work, and that doesn't necessarily require hard work.
Develop sociopathic tendencies, basically.
When I worked retail, it was considered unskilled work _until the fucking pandemic came about!_ The I was an "essential worker". No pay rise for it, either.
At least you have a job that allows you to pay for some ridiculously overpriced basic human rights. I can tell you, misophonia and misokinesia (got both of them) are no fun. Waiting for official diagnosis, but until then I'm stuck in this void. Can't get any form of compensation without it for my inability to work full-time (in a place that requires social contact) for more than a few months at most. Insurance isn't even the biggest problem; I'm left with crushing college debt because of having to drop out due to burnouts. In the end, it's for the best as my health comes first but I would accept an "unskilled job" in a heartbeat if that means I can work in peace with enough rest in between workdays (either shorter or 3-4 workdays a week). Just something so I could get the bare minimum, and feel like I have a future.
"unskilled labor" yet "essential workers".
we don't have slaves and indentured servants, because we don't call them that.
7:59 imagine dissing homeless for refusing to get a job, failing to realize they actually do have a job, but the tax rate in Chicago is so ridiculously high, that dispite still being employed full-time they STILL can't make a living wage
It's not because of the tax rate
@@jessyjulie5506no it's the cost of living. But if somebody who's about to lose my house because I can't afford the property taxes anymore I can say they don't help 🤷🏻
@@jessyjulie5506
Can confirm, as in Finland they have even higher tax rate, yet the government help is put so wisely, that there's almost no homeless people and everyone who works full time can afford to at least rent an apartment
Lmao some of them have TWO OR MORE jobs, and still can't afford housing.
Meanwhile weirdly, the finnish government can put homeless people in apartments and help them get gainful employment and reintegrate into society and stuff.
But thats "socialism" i guess.
Are you insane? It's not taxes. It's never taxes. It's the greed of landlords, the greed of CEOs squeezing more, more, MORE out of customers by raising prices even as they make record profits year after year.
Make no mistake, it's the greed of corporations that has caused this.
I love that we call the USA a developed nation when we care not at all about its citizens. This is bullspit
We are a nation that has a military capability to probably eradicate any country but can't offer supports and fair wages for those in need. :)
@@ChillyUltraKill not even their own troops. The people who sacrifice life and limb… it’s a sad sad reality.
@@erikarussell1142 we don’t even give large support to veterans. THE VERY SOLDIERS
Fun fact, the US gdp is a fucking lie and if you remove the 1% who hoards all the money it qualifies as a third world country.
Many "third world" countries care way more about their citizens. Americas education system brainwashes people into branding everything that is good for society as a whole and good for people in need as "socialism", "dangerous", "taking away from yourself".
It's stupid.
And don't tell me a system where you have to pledge your life to a goddamn flag each day isn't brainwashing.
0:57 If you read the back, it really just says "(Halls Cough Drops) Sugar Free"
and you can see the halls capital H on the actual cough drop itself
Yeah, but you're paying for that super duper special medical looking packet it's in though. Plus paying a quarter for it probably wouldn't make you feel as better.
I don’t know how much soothers are in America, but here in Scotland they cost us 80 pence, which is one dollar and one cent, let’s say one dollar for convenience.
This is a pack of ten, so we’ll say that it’s 10 cents for a single soother.
If they’re giving one soother for ten dollars, then thats ten times the price.
@@Png_gamingwouldn’t that be 100 times the price?
@@Mr.Bob-Gray You’re quite right, I made a mistake.
A good one to add to this is idaho just shut off water to 500k farmers at the same exact time they just opened a cobalt mine running 24/7 on a pristine mountain range, you know what cobalt mines need? Lots and lots of water.
This is why Idaho isn’t real. It was always Oregon.
god 😭 i hate it here
And then they'll complain the local crop yield was too low 💀
welp guess im not getting water for the next few months *hoo boy i love moving*

13:54 man.
One fine day in the dead of winter the pipes froze on my water radiator heater. Pipes snapped all throughout town. I had been blocked at grandma's house when the blizzard hit and it took 3 days to get home and see what was broken.
The short of it:
Lay cardboard on the floor. At least 2 layers but aim for 4 when -10°F (more layers when lower).
Put one tent inside of another.
Put bathtowels on the roofs of both tents to absorb humidity and reduce heat loss.
Hang sheets between the ceiling of the big tent and the roof of the little one to slow air flow.
You'll wake up sore and ashamed, but you'll wake up.
I work at a fast food place, I had a police officer come in, and even with his discount he couldn't afford his meal... It was fast food... I just gave it to him.
I had something similar happen with a military veteran... and again, I just gave him the food. People need to fucking eat, why are we gate keeping crappy tacos behind a pay wall?
Right with you on that. Everyone deserves to eat
because Corporate need profit. money good with more money. poor people just too lazy.
Why are we shutting down 20,000 farms per year and seizing control of the food supply? Why doesn't anyone treat this for what it really is? Tyrants will always do the most they can get away with, just under the level that would cause everyone to rise up and riot. Or what if people just start "randomly disappearing?"
@@shannonb3499surely no problems could come from a sistem like that. No sir. I'm certain that absolutely no one would take more than his fair share

My family uses Blue Cross. I have a disability that is benign skin cancer (LCN). When I was only a few months old I needed a severe surgery on my spine with the risk that it would become malignant in the future and cause nerve damage. My family argued with blue cross for 6 months to get insurance to cover it! And in the end I still ended up with nerve damage and had to get a blood transfusion. that blue cross also refused to cover to help.
I still will never understand the “benefits” of not having universal healthcare.
Felt. I have a degenerative disorder that affects my bones and cartilage. My mother and father refused to acknowledge it so I haven't had treatment for decades. I didn't start to receive treatment and diagnosis until recently when I was literally homeless (having been kicked out of where I was living for needing a wheelchair), and even then. I got kicked out of the homeless shelter I was stuck at for being disabled and not able to get a job or use a benefit advocacy program (Im not old enough.)... :| I really wish I could have just had insurance from the get go and the means to get care when I was younger. Because everyone just treats me like I deserve to die and it's all my fault I'm "broken" and need to be "fixed". I dont want to be fixed, I just want to be treated like an equal and like I deserve help.
why don't we just get free healthcare (bc that wouldn't be the American way 😢😢😢😢 /j)
The worst part about things being built on the moon Is that unlike earth, there are no plants to break down the buildings and such on the moon, so the only way for them to disappear would be asteroids, which means that an amazon sign on the moon would stay there, for at least a hundred million years
No oxygen either. That is a very sad mental image
A derelict Ad sign. Possibly a better thing to leave behind as an example of humanity than "mostly harmless".
my friend got a rock as an appreciation gift. no joke, a literal rock in a gift bag. to make it worse, she was a teacher.
that is just plain stupid unnecessary.
I'd quit on the spot if somebody tried to give me a rock as an appreciation gift.
how do you think of this. genuine question -- what is the thought process here? what goes through the minds of administration of a SCHOOL, to say "ah yes. a rock that we found 15 minutes ago. this is definitely an appropriate gesture to show our appreciation for our underpaid teachers !!"
I assume that was a student going "I want you to have my favourite rock, please take care of him"? You know what kids are like.
as a student i do know how bad teacher's lifes are. they work from 8-5 and have to do alot of preperation at home too.
Society is doomed bc of the rich. Blaming anyone else is just idiotic and i wish people i know would stop doing it
I’m personally a capitalist, but I sort of agree with you.
@@Astreiousyeah it isn’t the system, it’s the people that only wish to privatize that system so only they can benefit off of it at the cost of everyone else.
What happens when they have all wealth in the world, they own the planet, all its resources, and all its people? Nothing, that’s what. Their greed is insatiable and even when they have literally everything they still won’t be happy with what they have.
The lame-duck "revolutionaries" aren't helping by not doing anything offline for 5 minutes without their social structure turning from the French Revolution to Mean Girls the second a disagreement happens.
@Astreious dude, the minimum wage has been fixed at $7.25 for the past 15 years, while cost for food, rent, gas and overall cost of living continues to rise

Lorax used to be fiction, not a documentary
16:52 when I was on a leap year in Los Angeles and was shown around by a class mate, we saw a place to “donate” blood. He literally said, and there you can donate blood for money. He stopped for a moment when I said, so you’re selling your blood.
19:32 WIC is VERY specific in regards to what you can and cannot buy. Down to brands, and ammounts, so by changing the ammount in it could cause it to be no longer be valid as the Government for that year only approved that specific oz ammount.
So it's not like a product recall because something dangerous is in it?
@@Roadent1241 Not it was clearly an organization just refusing to cover that format.
Sounds more like a nightmare than something actually meant to help the less fotunate.
@@fr0nk571 Someone else in the comments put it better:
"A gallon is 128 fluid ounces, so a half gallon would be 64 fluid ounces. This is a scientific fact. This is not something that is open to interpretation. By taking away 5 ounces from a half gallon, they are removing almost 10% of the milk the buyer is expecting to get."
WIC isn't supporting the new bottle size purely because Darigold is practically scamming buyers, especially ones in need. They didn't change the price at all
@@fr0nk571 The format being an alternate type of milk? I couldn't read the paper and I had it on a 32 inch TV.
I love how they say that there is no such thing as unskilled labor, and proceed to mention a boardroom ceo.

We have "No child left behind." We need to leave the kids behind. (Still teach them, but don't move them up a grade until they actually pass.)
@@shadowfluff2255 correct. I was tested out of my classes because I never did homework, but I still had to pass the end of year test for each class subject. Or I would be left behind. I fully agree. Passing people who need more help is not the answer.

50:00 this is actually a reportedly comfortable prison; low security is the main thing. Those small, slit windows are to prevent escapes (happened before), and the net on top is to prevent helicopter escapes (ALMOST happened). The top is a recreation area.
2:10 that house is in some severe need of GALVANIZED SQUARE STEEL
21:40 if i’m not mistaken, that’s a nuclear reactor. the safest form of non renewable energy and the only form of non renewable energy that doesn’t have a carbon footprint at production.
If only they'd finally build a safe permanent storage location for nuclear waste instead of stuffing it in old salt mines and then acting surprised when the salt eats through the storage containers.
And actually build new, safer reactors instead of keeping the old ones running until they become decrepit and prone to failure.
But that all costs money.
I bet the "but we miss Amazon" article title is just another quote joggling and the actual quote was something like "there are 1-2-3-18-29... benefits, we are so glad we're here, we won't ever move back - but is there at least one thing you miss?... well, if you insist, Amason delivery was kinda ok..." Not that I've read this piece, but they do it 95% of the time nowdays.
1:44 love the mcr note
23:26 “conversion” in this context refers to the people who actually bought the product after seeing the ad, I can’t say for certain that it was the intended word for this sentence, but it does make sense.
I will say, As someones struggling financially and receiving calls every three months to donate blood, I would actually like to be paid for it. But it's illegal, in my country, to be compensated for it.
I understand why, it is like this but it's annoying none the less

I hope this is a joke. Yeah, your first years working are great because you get your own money to spend how you want, then your parents will have you using that money to contribute towards bills or in some cases pay rent. Enjoy your youth while you can please.

24:07 I have actually seen those at my grandson’s school. They don’t look that much healthier than the regular ones from what little I can tell.
22:58 "Track conversions" is not a typo. In this context someone being shown an ad and then making a purchase because of that ad is a "conversion"
Some more clarifications i guess;
Antihomless laws that jail them for years are what happens when places have prisoners work for the prison's profit.
Prison windows are ass to prevent escape/suicide
An ambulance is indeed not just a "taxi to the hospital" but it is waay insanely overpriced in the US. An ambulance gets to legally ignore traffic laws to get you to the hospital as quickly as possible while administering medical attention on the way.
12:30 can confirm. I just finished healing up from having necrotizing fasciitis in my tailbone area back in January. As painful as that was, my insurance paperwork was worse.

Maybe it's just that where I live we go to the hospital for non life threatening stuff but the ambulance is for emergencies and for people who can't get to the hospital on their own. I wouldn't exactly call that a taxy.

If someone says x homeless people should just get a job, many of them probably forget that some homeless people, with all due respect, are not capable to have an occupation, due to not only physicial but also mental problems. Not only that, but consider that some jobs are not available even to those who can work for many reasons and some don’t even have a job available.
That and some don't have proper education for some jobs.
55:24 This is ABSOLUTELY a major issue, especially in areas that do not have a lot of ambulances. I can tell you of multiple times when I was working as an EMT in a rual area where someone DIED because someone with a literal stubbed toe called an ambulance, and once they request to be taken to the hospital you are LEGALLY BOUND to do so. So because of these asshats, someone with an actual life threatening emergency could not get an ambulance for almost an hour because the person with a stubbed toe was in the only one in the area.

Watching this video after having to console my crying mom because she had to work a 14 hour shift, stopping by to give commentary and some relevant anecdotes to a couple of the posts. First off, the US made microchips being found in captured russian vehicles… it’s pretty moderate compared to where else our MIC has stuck its fingers. We’ve sold aircraft to both Turkey and Greece, who are in constant spats with each other and it’s a regular Thursday for them to shoot down the other one’s fighter jet, and so it’s often you will see American built jets facing off against American built jets between the two sides. Second off, the post about the shift leader having to come into work on his birthday… at least he got pizza. A coworker/friend of mine had to come into work on his birthday and he got nothing special for it, not even a birthday card. I work at an escape room and we do more for customers having a birthday than we did for bro who worked on his birthday, we usually have to make customers cards and everyone on shift has to sign them but I digress. The reason my friend had to go in on his birthday is because nobody could cover his shift. I was the only one available and willing to take the shift byt I wasn’t even allowed to because I would’ve gone into overtime during the shift and they didn’t wanna pay the extra $40, which pissed me off.
That's sad. My mom works 16-hour shifts sometimes. Luckily, her work can't legally keep her at work more than 48 hours a week because she is physically disabled. (Her shoulder muscles were ripped beyond repair, and her hips were damaged beyond repair.)
I hope it gets better for everyone's sake.

Prisoners are also charged for rent not just utilities. And if they can't pay the bill when getting out of prison they can get sent back to jail and charged more rent and utilities while being unable to get any kind of income while locked up.

You’re IATSE! I knew your sarcasm was familiar. Our emotional exhaustion has a style. Keep up the great work.
6:50 This looks straight out of one of those city skylines videos where people try to make the most awful cities they can.
right after i turned 16 i got a job at mcdonald’s and the girl who trained me was my age, she’d just been working there since she was 14 😭 that mcdonald’s is always hiring because people keep quitting, i only lasted like a month
Random comment: You did actually say Quebec right the first time🥲
I was like oh wow he didnt butcher it and then he did...
@@fr0nk571 I was like "so close... yet so far..."
I know. He got this close and then fucked it.
As a Tennessee resident I apologize for my state’s stupidity
19:56 it's a MTR station in Hong Kong, if you look up Tai Wai Station on Maps you can see "The Wall" which is the mall that goes alongside the tracks. In front of it was a construction site for the past years (Google Maps still shows it) where they removed one arm of the gigantic sidewalk leveled above the main street. Back before construction, one arm was directed straight forward to the station (along Mei Tin rd.) but now, it just leads into this mall. It is quite a maze to navigate sometimes but at least it has AC lmao.
The one about antidepressants can be read in two ways: either South Korean citizens go largely undiagnosed and that's why the low usage or the US and Iceland are so depressing to live in. (considering Chile is joint first with the least amount of anti-dep users, I'd go for the former to be honest. Mental health is important, you guys)
That's what I was thinking. Iceland probably has high rates of depression because they're quite far north so they probably have a fairly high rate of seasonal affective disorder during their long dark winters. But they also probably have good enough health care that people have access to antidepressants when they need them
And given what I know about South Korean corporate culture and wealth inequality, it definitely cannot be the case that only 1.3% of people actually have depression, but rather that people who need medication either can't afford it or are too ashamed to ask for help (or heck, why not both)
I didn’t realize this was made a minute ago. I was too busy playing the mod with a bunch of worm bosses like that primordial one
5:23 No, he’s talking about remote start. Some newer cars still have smart-keys, but the only way to do remote start is via the app, not the key fob
When I went to my first prenatal visit, they asked about my mental health history and my family's. I told them my brother struggled with depression and anxiety, and they billed my insurance $114 for it. They didn't do anything about it, not that they could....because it was my brother and not me..their patient. So confused and angry about that BS.
They also let like 4 separate salesmen into my room two hours after I gave birth. I just wanted some damn tacos and sleep.
amazing way to start a Monday lmao
It’s wild that we can have people who work 60 hours, in grueling conditions, while having someone breathe down their neck, and struggle to be able to afford basic needs, and we have people who say shit like “should go to college and get a real job”
while i have your attention: it’s wild that for-profit companies own necessities, and if you can’t afford the price gouging, you’re lazy
2:31 it looks like something little Johnny would build out of galvanized steel square and eco friendly wood veneer
I remember one time me, my dad, and my brother completely blocked a stock checking robot. That was funny
49:03 I can't believe they made O'hare Air a real thing😭😭😭😭😭
22:20, so we hit that point of Black Mirror!
teachers in tennessee are gonna have a major problem mentioning historical figures like: Emperor Julius Caeser, Emperor Hadrian, Emperor Elagabalus, literally every single spartan warrior, King Nicomedes of Bithynia, Sappho, Plato, Anne Lister, Alan turing, Frida Kahlo so on so forth.
they are LITERALLY going to be writing letters to the parents every day like "yeah we're talking about the romans again. and im saying this because they straight up said "if an lgbt person/subject is even mentioned"
1:04 The forbidden Pokeball
abt the Kia access thing( 5:17 ), it’s to remote start. My kia didn’t even come w a fob, so I have to manually unlock and lock my car at said car every single time. It’s annoying, and I’ve considered paying for the sub so I have the option. It’s stupid. also iirc, you aren’t supposed to get your own fob installed cause I think it can void your warranty, which is even more stupid.
