If you watch a lot of American media, they'll have you believe homeless people are living lives of luxury.
Join us as we watch tv and get some of that sweet, sweet, commentary. - Комедії
in chicago i saw a homeless camp with propane tanks, space heaters and a grill. clearly the height of luxury in a city that regularly reaches freezing temperatures
The freezing weather is the least of your concerns in Chicago….despite all the ridiculously liberal gun laws
@@AutoSearPin surprisingly for people with out shelter the elements are actually a more severe concern than your political opinions you absolute gibbon.

“Gibbon”
@@AutoSearPin I’m sorry I shouldn’t tap the glass I know it upsets you gibbons.
@@madgecko11 you sound ignorant and selfish…

What? Homeless people trying to make the most of their situation? how dare they.
Just wish they wouldn't do it on sidewalks and in the roads, but it is California so I don't give a ahit
@@WillBilly. where the fuck are they meant to do it then?
@@celestegrey are you serious? Theres thousands of acres of land they can occupy with out obstructing walking. From parks to unerpasses to fields.
@@WillBilly. god forbid your walking is restricted by someone trying desperately to survive. Get over yourself, they’re people too. This is exactly the type of high and mighty attitude that was being discussed in the video.
@@WillBilly. Yes... because nobody would ever complain about that.
"These people are illegally tapping into fire hydrants and streetlights for water and electricity!"
Good for them. American ingenuity at its finest.
Imagine being so mad that homeless people have water and electricity. American attitudes towards homeless people are actually disgusting.
Lol if I was in those industries I give em a job
@@alexandereaton7983 More workers, less homelessness. Simple enough. So why is nobody doing that? Is there a fee you have to pay to get a job or something?
@@MemberoftheUnusAnnuscult alot of homeless are on drugs
@@gagne6928 yeah sure because people who are starving have a secret drug money stash
Instead of building a couple of tall cheap apartment blocks and setting up a help center for homeless to get back on track or to deal with addiction, they do this crap. Incredible. I remember a guy who built mini "houses" for them, kinda like clean looking proper wooden sheds really. And the city spent lots of money tearing them down and fighting him.
Yeah, that's infuriating. I guess there's motivation to keep homeless people where they are
I remember a while ago, maybe two or three years ago one of the nearby cities had built really low rent buildings (with rent forgiveness) for the young homeless populations
As I recall the mayor was about to release his plan for dealing with the homeless and his photo opportunity would have been ruined if some rando already fixed the problem by just building them small little shacks they could live in. They confiscated and destroyed the tiny houses claiming that they posed a health and safety risk to the people living in them, and then kicked them back out onto the street to sleep in cardboard boxes and tents.
Yeah how dare the news station not build million dollar buildings in downtown la for free for everyone
@@ft.nufonia What a ridiculous strawman
"Die further away" Is literally most cities in the US's plan for dealing with homelessness. Rather than addressing systemic issues, cities try to drive homeless away to be someone else's problem. And since cities are effectively strategic players, most cities act this way to avoid the externality of homeless migrating to their own.
It's not just a US problem. Here in my country the local slum areas would occasionally erupt in flames as the local government try to drive the poor out. They usually do it when the actual owners of the land -- rich people -- wanna build a mall or condo over it. Cities promise the stars to people from rural areas, and then chew and spit them out for not having been born with enough money to rent a tiny studio apartment.
their mentality is some bastardized mix of "if you cant beat em, join em" and "fight fire with fire"
if we cant handle our own homelessness issue, we'll push em away just like everyone else s i n c e they didnt get any worthwhile amount of backlash for it, or pushback before it went through
@@binglemccringle705 I think at the very core of it, and it might be a bit cyclical, is this ostracization, or sense of 'otherness' most modern societies have cultivated for the poor. I feel like if we truly respected our wounded refuse as fellow citizens, politicians would be held accountable.
simply put, p r e a c h
ya hit that nail on the head & sunk it in one swing while you were at it
Lol, sounds like another Trail Of Tears to me.
I think I've never actually taken the time out of my day to watch american news propaganda (well I'm from germany so I never really felt the need to watch specifically american propaganda about stuff like this), but holy shit this really feels like a lesson into propaganda 101.
It's a relief to know that you don't have the same kind of news in Germany.
We've got some pretty horrible news propaganda here in Australia
@@Boy_Boy Don't worry we've got some pretty bad propaganda here as well, they just don't target the weak members of society and instead only serve to prop up the myth of austerity or try to pander to corporations.
But we also have some countries here in europe which have some pretty horrible newsoutlets. The UK for example is pretty bad, some mainstream news in the UK are pretty conspiratorial from what I have seen and also try to channel animosity against the other european countries or the weak members of society, like for example their favourite targets immigrants and refugees.
@@slname8935 The UK is literally just "US Lite Europe edition" these days.
@@slname8935 The UK news propaganda is basically just as bad as places like China, they just know how to hide it better, well most times. BBC is just the government mouthpiece
As an American, it's bad here..but apparently not brazen enough because too many people believe it.
Whenever i hear homeless people having access to showers i become so happy, everyone deserves to stay clean and no one wants to hire someone who reeks so it increases the chance of them finding a job
But they don't look for a job. Or most don't
@@edwinceballos2841 but they still deserve to stay clean, walking around in your own stink is not good for your physical or mental health. Just like i think they dont deserve to starve even if they dont manage to earn money on their own. Theyre a person just like you and if you were in their position i bet youd like to stay clean and not starve either.
@@edwinceballos2841 how do you know? I doubt you speak to homeless people so are you just making an assumption?
i feel like my presence is gonna be something on this post... but you ever just have no access to running water or clean clothes, and no one would help you because you look bad, smell bad, or whatever, yeah thats some tough sht, not to mention some people are not quite mentally capable of being able to get a job and keep it, i mean fckn A i really wouldnt wanna be running around on my feet all day at a fast food restaurant making minimum wage, you think the little bump from 9 dollars to 15 is something? nah its inflation just bumps prices up from a stick of gum costing around like 25 cents to about 1.50 rough guesstimate like super rough, but the picture is pretty clear... being homeless isnt always a choice, sht if imma be honest i have an extremely tough time finding a job mostly because of the online application thing being extremely vague and just, in my opinion, downright useless.... aghghhg this country is a hell of its own.
@@edwinceballos2841 and where, good sir, are you getting this information? A job does not (especially with the housing market so fucked) ensure a man to not be homeless. It is definitely a step in the right direction, and hey, maybe they can make it out. But that doesn't change the now, that people are still in the middle of that process.
As an American I absolutely love watching these videos seeing the perspective of someone not living in America. Really makes me feel my confusion on the insanity of America isn't unwarranted. Lol
It makes me feel brain-broken when I hear well-adjusted humans from another country. America is such an embarrassment and I’m ashamed to be a natural-born citizen for a multitude of reasons. Disgusting. This country should be balkanized
Except I live in la where the homeless are a big part of the drug problem, unemployment is crazy high. Almost every business is hiring but they get assistance that pays for their drug use. Not to mention these people throw stuff like glass at cars and block every place possible so people can’t walk safely
The most unrealistic part of this video is at 8:51 where he uses centimeters. An American would use literally ANY other unit of measurement for inspection. Preferably football fields.

That anti homeless Karen is the type of person who invests in anti homeless architecture. Literally chooses to have shitty benches just so unfortunate people have to sleep on the ground. I hope she ends up on the street at some point and has to deal with her peers.
To be fair, no one wants to see/smell/hear dirty, savage, homeless people while trying to enjoy a day out in the city
@@skrimper I hope you end up on the other side of that accusation some day.
@@sebastianlaplume461 everyone has choices in life. More often than not their homelessness is their own fault. Sure there are exceptions but most are complacent.
@@hilloty this ideology is what keeps innocent people dying. And scummy people elected.
oookay do you have anything to back up your statement? i mean from just reading what you said it doesnt seem as if youd interact with a "transient" person, therefore overlooking the fact they might have a gruesome backstory you would probably never believe because youve been conditioned to stay away from them or not to help them out when you were a kid, i mean fck a lot of the homeless people i have known were either disabled, mentally fcked because of being introduced to drugs usually at a younger age mostly within their teenage years, from someone who has been conditioned to be the same way their parents or "outside influences" were, and some people just have nothing else to give towards the actually quite weak and pretty vulnerable concept of whatever you would want to call the modern day, i know i ended up homeless not because of drugs, but a long long sob story that i really would rather just let die cause fck being sad.
I lived in Venice Beach for 5 years and people literally do not care if people die or not - they just want to drink their $18 juice without having to see people struggle.
That's terrifying, but It's a similar situation here in Australia too. They've really mastered the art of differentiating themselves from other human beings.

Recently laws have changed in LA where if homeless communities are within a certain radius of “public spaces” cops are allowed to tear them apart and use violence to get rid of them. And a reminder that this is an issue because most homeless shelters and mental institutions were shut down by the government because they weren’t “profitable”… I live in LA and I’ve seen a lot of dystopian shit.
capitalism moment
a surprise to be sure, but a welcome one. seriously though, imagine all the work that man put in to get himself some of the most basic essentials, all to have it just torn down by the "sanitation department"
It's wild, for a country that praises entrepreneurs... Imagine the creativity and perseverance required to build an entire house with running water as a homeless man.
Well maybe put that work in to some sort of small business or go about doing it the right way we need regulations so our streets don’t end up in chaos
The us really should be investing in commission housing
And infrastructure projects which stimulate the economy creating more jobs
@@Boy_Boy y’all do realize that homelessness just spreading untouched on the sidewalks isn’t really the RIGHT solution, (in SoCal the bubonic plague is actually a thing).…. Cities need to be creating communities where junkies and other non using homeless people have a space of their own. I don’t think that’s too much. Look into the Californian effort to combat people on the streets, it’s billions of dollars wasted on inefficient methods. That’s “BIG GOVERNMENT” for you dudes. Like the videos (your science ones), but having a one bloody governmental body is just asking for inefficiency. Libertarian movement needs more backing, not the communist movement.
Have y’all seen the homeless towns like the ones in Seattle? They have a whole community and it makes me somewhat happy to know they have people to surround themselves with- but upsetting it got that way.
I hope they can sustain their community without too much interference.
We didn't see the one in Seattle, but we did a video about a similar tent city that briefly popped up in Sydney a few years ago:

Warmth too
Just like heroin lol, you either get to feel good for a bit or overdose and die peacefully.
Humanity back at it again spitting facts!
As an American, I can confirm that we generally believe the issue with homelessness is that the camps are unsightly and get in the way. It's terrible that we have so little compassion
I'm loud to be an American
The most depressing part is that there are enough houses left empty to house pretty much every houseless person
But that would give the lowest rungs of society a fighting chance, and we can't be having THAT now can we.
What?! Help people?! but what about MY MONEY!
Why dont the homeless buy the houses and move in?
@@densmorde4520 too godamm expensive prices in big cities are skyrocketing high so they cant afford it even if they had a job
Noooo don’t provide provide dying people with help, that’s communism!!!!!!!!!!
The flags on the tents are generally indicative of veterans
Well, that's more depressing thanks
I just can't imagine someone seeing how this country treat their veterans and ends up signing in the military anyways.
@@co2_os Our military specifically recruits from poorer neighborhoods with low graduation rates. A lot that go into service feel they don't have a choice.
thats so fucking sad, imagine going to kill people overseas for your country, just to end up beeing completly neglected by it after.. soldiers are workers too afterall... damn i complain living in Brazil, and i always had the american dream in my head.. but well at least we have public healthcare!
The lack of public restrooms is a serious issue. People are pooping/peeing in the streets witch is cosigning all kinds of health risks. it's not that hard to put in more public restrooms, LA has the money they just don't care. Every time I'm in LA it's so upsetting seeing those people on the streets surrounded by people with more money then they know what to do with.
Lol all that money and they won't pay to make sure the poors have somewhere to go poop.
The problem isn't that they live in relative comfort on the street. The problem is that they aren't making someone else richer by paying rent on while living on the street
Exactly! Finally someone understands the issue. We have homeless people so the rest of the wage slaves sees what happens if they don't pay their land lords.
"McMansion Tents"
JESUS CHRIST I CAN'T BELIEVE
These HOMELESS people are practically living in MANSIONS! SUBURBS!!!

Good on homeless people for being resourceful enough to give themselves some quality of life.
look how dystopian the world has become, we are complaining when people are living normally, except without a white picket fence, and not paying the government
A few months ago I read book called "caliban and the witch", and it talked about how people in Europe used to just build their houses anywhere, hunt and fish and basically obtain everything needed for their existence in communal lands. But then private property of land became a thing, and the new "owners" of the land would tear down and burn the houses of the people living there if they didn't pay or work for the lords to obtain the right to exist as a human being in that space. But there was a huge resistance at first, because it was new and people weren't used to that arrangement, so they saw it for what it really is: the "owners" of the land are enslaving you, just with this new justification that it is not you what they own, but the land you exist in. It all sounds so barbaric and it happened like 1500 years ago, but you look at this and you're reminded that we live in exactly the same regimen.

The mentalities toward unhoused people in LA are truly some of the nastiest I've ever seen. I follow a lot of for-and-by unhoused people and their neighbours organisations there, and it's truly disgusting how the rich talk about them. Like, there's shitty classism everywhere, but I've always been poor and I've lived in Detroit my entire life and the income disparity is largely outside the city vs inside the city (w the exception of Downtown), whereas LA is a huge gap between extremely wealthy people and unhoused or otherwise extremely impoverished people, with like, seemingly no middle class, and there really is this horrific, sadistic, emotionless, inhuman view of unhoused and impoverished people, I've heard people say such disgusting things without blinking, the LAPD was caught on recording joking about bombing an encampment, and it's only going to get worse with the Olympics displacements amping up, the LAPD is intentionally destroying safer shelters that organisations are building, the local government has been intentionally removing access from public restrooms and creating intentionally unsafe warming and cooling centers for the unhoused throughout the pandemic, there's "special enforcement zones" around shelters where unhoused people are additionally terrorised to make the city look better, etc, and generally speaking so many of the people who live there just support it. Unhoused people are treated worse than feral animals, like, so many people in LA genuinely view these real, living human beings, these families and struggling individuals dealing with a really shitty situation in the best way they possibly can, like pests, and it's something I've never seen before, from police and government and people in rich neighbourhoods yeah but not from peoples' direct neighbours, the mentality among much of rich LA residents is genuinely that these people should just die and stop being "in the way," with no actual regard for what's going on or basic human decency.
I just can't express how viscerally, horrifyingly sad it is that capitalism has made us more worried about someone "illegally" acquiring electricity and water and housing, than someone having to illegally acquire electricity and water and housing.
There's a reason why LA has one of the worst reputations in the civilised world. Although I've got to say UK cities aren't great either, I've seen homeless people get beaten, robbed and pissed on by groups of drunk "lads" in the streets of Manchester and London. Many of them freeze to death during the winter because of how cold it gets too.
Don't blame capatalism for LA. The LA government destroys better housing opportunities for the homeless, by people who actually give a shit. That's not capitalism, thats the city's rank.
LA is a shithole in every sense of the word. It is extremely segregated by wealth which has caused third world conditions.
@@LeavingGoose046 This failure exists in a capitalist country. These news stories are capitalist propaganda by corporate media driving hate for the homeless.
@@shwah8299 Did you read my comment? I wasn't saying homelessness is LA exclusive, only that brand of homelessness is created by the city government of LA who through regulation destroy housing opportunities made by non-governmental organizations and then refuse to offer a good alternative.
Absolutely WILD that they say "oh poor people in wheelchairs can't use the sidewalk because the sidewalks are blocked by people literally starving and freezing to death. Poor chaircels"
Bro I've been homeless so long that when I got out of the streets people still treated me like I'm homeless. This is the funniest commentary I've ever seen.
Why do you have access to mobile phone and youtube?
@@I_Rasool I might be wrong but even if the government didn't give out free phones to people with low income I'm pretty sure a cellular plan is cheaper than a place to live. If you would prefer I'll toss it in the river but the UA-cam account was free.
@@I_Rasool It's one of the most essantial things to own for finding a job finding safe places to be getting food easier
@@I_Rasoolyou act like a phone is more expensive then housing lol, you can get phones with prepaid minutes on it for like 70 dollars. You need a phone for a lot of things nowadays, like getting employed. Homeless people having phones is not the most ground breaking idea ever.

Thank you for making these videos that are humorous yet still tasteful that effectively address sides of issues that are not properly considered by the mainstream media of my country.

Some people coming from countries that haven't experienced communism have romantic image of it. Coming from post communist country I can say communism is not a good thing! Trust me, don't fall for "we are all equal" slogans and such, it's a utopian trap. Communism wants to organize your life for your own money. THEY know what's best for you. I don't wish you to go what we went through, dark times when only thing you could buy in store for sure was vinegar. When you somehow got a pack o toilet paper you would walk home with it proudly like a peacock, so everybody could see what luxuries you have. Real times of absurdity, I tell you that. If you want to see communist reality (in a crooked mirror, but still very true) watch movie "Mis" by Stanislaw Bareja, best comedy ever, although I don't know how much of it you would actually get. When my dad went on vacation to Cuba he said he got a whiff of his old times, not in a good sense. Also his wife spent all day looking for pads or tampons, I guess it's a luxury...

I think it was the sadness in his eyes that got me most at the end there when he was singing the Sesame Street theme. He finishes, hears "that was bad" but does not react since his thoughts are inward and distant. Imagining no doubt what it must be like to have almost nothing and somehow build up with thrown away items a home with a shower so that you're clean, AC so that you don't boil to death in the 40C LA summer, and a roof over your head. Then have it all mocked and shamed on the news and then finally destroyed. I imagine he was trying to picture just how bad that must feel.
New strategy: make your tent out of American flags, then nobody can destroy it!
I imagine that talking about homeless people like this is also motivated by the fact that felons can't vote in the US so they have essentially lost most of their rights as citizens.
Voting doesnt matter. I'm a felon and going through the system 100% made me realize the hole system is corrupt! If voting mattered they wouldnt let anyone do it! Politics is the WWE! Stop watching TV for a month maybe you can start thinking for yourself again. Not shitting on you, you dont even realize just how bad we all are brainwashed!
As an American, I couldn't agree with you two more, you have it 100% correct. Most people in America believe the narrative they're told and they treat people that are different from them as inhuman.
as an american, it's really eye opening to see another country critique us without immediately going "herk derk mcdonalds", turns out genuinely intelligent commentary is more constructive than reductionary horseshit

Sorry to break it to you but the "hehe guns, shootings, no healthcare, mcdonalds, obesity" is just a defense mechanism so we don't have to waste our time on your knights in shining armor defending everything that's american. There's always constructive criticism behind it but I'm just tired of repeating the same things over to imbeciles that would never listen.
yeah what did it for me was the getting a haircut in north korea video specifically the bit where he lists countries the US has invaded and runs out of room on the screen
Muricans, never looking below the reductionist humor
Maybe watch better media? Your country has tons of issues, you're killing yourselves in mass shootings and fentanyl, there's tons of people giving you constructive criticism
Wait, this wasn't what I expected when I searched for "boy on boy"
This is better than what you expected, right?
communism is the most satisfying coming to completion there is.

Flag on homeless tent usually means veteran.
Thank you Cold Ones or else I might have missed this masterpiece
They were mentioned on Cold Ones?

You're back! I've been waiting for ages for you guys to come back!
Check out "I did a thing"! Different channel same guys.

Please give your review on this crazy high legal stuff
American News: “Some homeless people have possessions and we are spinning this as a bad thing for some reason”
The reason there's an American flag is because a large portion of veterans become homeless because they are often underqualified or too injured for all other jobs. The American military complex doesnt give any sort of pension etc. and they dont get aid with PTSD/their need for adrenaline after leaving the military. One of the main tenants of soldier training is patriotism, so it never really leaves them, even when they country they were told they are defending fails them.
ahhh that's incredibly depressing.
And it's bizarre how the veteran discourse is weaponized. If you point out the horrible conditions for American veterans it's somehow seen as being unpatriotic, right?
@@Boy_Boy exactly. this has been implemented I believe since the opium crisis, where any actual state or military hypocrisy that is pointed out, is immediately dismissed
Aussies watching American news is such a brilliant idea.
"illegally" they're homeless? The country failed them, why should they ever follow any laws?
The country didn’t fail them, in LA they are all burnout druggies. The next fix is all they will ever care about. They live on the street they can buy their drug of choice on and eventually get killed or overdose it’s always the same story over and over.
"You make food in your house? Are you the king??" is my favorite
I wonder when homeless people in LA will start to magically "disappear".... Like when the Olympics where held in Rio and their homeless people started to "disappear";)
It's fucking lit seeing you boys in this sort of format. IDAT is dope, but it's hard waiting for those videos that you work so hard to make. Good to see a lot of both of you more regularly 👍👌
I'm glad you enjoy this format, we'll be making more videos like this every week on this channel!
@@Boy_Boy Hellllllll yeaaahhhh
Fills me with rage when I see a homeless child going down a slide
Can you two do an episode on how long you can remain homeless, and how long you can remain homeless without breaking any rules? Or looking for a job? I commuted through homeless encampment for work and lived next door to one. It's never a dull moment.
Yeah it would be a great idea to respond to the statement “if you’re homeless pull yourself up by the bootstraps and find a job to work your way up to housing” because in America you need an address and phone number to even apply
YOOOOO THEY"RE BACK! So hyped to see more stuff from you guys
Cheers! We'll be uploading every week
@@Boy_Boy every week you say?
My dad doesn't love me
Missed that.
its also like 150000x more popular, most of his fans probably dont know hes a communist lol
Yeah, they don't actually like people to know about the link between the channels, I was kind of hoping they were going to slowly start doing more Boy Boy content on the other one, and it was kind of a sugar with your medicine thing, but I think it's fair if they just want to ensure they don't get bood out of their livelihood and keep it separate. Shame though.
@@theangel666100 shhhh!!! Don't tell them!
@@5Detective there's still a decent amount political nudging on IDAT... But definitely much more sugar than medicine.
That woman bitching about the sidewalks being for the public like homeless people aren't part of the public is peak Karen.
It’s honesty disgusting to see how people view this issue. Using excuses like “homeless people want to be homeless” (which is just flat out wrong and the worst of the propaganda) or worse “they will never work a real job anyway” Like how tf are you supposed to have a job if you don’t even have an alarm clock can’t clean yourself and you have no idea if you’ll be able to sleep in the same place every day. People also like to say that “homelessness only exists in California” while in other states the homeless population is less visible only because those who become homeless eventually die or end up in the US prison system. If we gave these people free housing running water and food they would have a greater chance of becoming self sustaining. Not only that it would remove the need for homeless encampments at all, so snobby assholes don’t have to cry about “having to see people suffering in muh neighborhood” It’s astounding how little compassion the average person has towards those who are literally struggling to survive. Like can you imagine having to live on the sidewalk, having to beg for money from others, being helplessly addicted to a drug that may or may not ease the pain and knowing there is no chance at getting help? Not only that, having to live in fear that one day, the police will raid the place you live, take all of your belongings, and throw you in jail where withdrawals from the drug you depend on might literally end your life.
I always interpreted the newsreader's disgust at the authorities that allowed people to fall into homelessness in the first place, but holy shit was this blatant. They make such a big point about it being ILLEGAL like that's somehow not their fault
this is the most underrated channel i’ve ever found
I’m a big believer that nobody is better than anyone else. Imagine seeing a homeless person and thinking “Yeah they’re bothering me, I’ma call the cops.”
Remember comrades, graffiti keeps the housing prices down.
I can not believe how heartless people are, I'm rewatching all you're stuff and came across this, i remember watching this the day yall released it, and a few weeks later i had some bullshit go down. love the channel tho guys, glad you're working on it since i cant get enough of i did a thing
Storytime:
I worked for a pizza company as a delivery driver, our location was attached to a grocery store that had huge homeless village living in the parking lot. well, one guy was laying in front of our store for about and hour or so. And after two customers complained about him being there, my manager asked me if i could go wake him up and ask him to move, i really didnt want to make him move cause he wasn't doing anything. So i go out give him a nudge and felt that he was ice cold. Which startled me, so i went to check his pulse, and well, he was dead. I go back in to notify her the the man was dead, and i was going to call 911 to well. deal with him, but my manager, upon me telling her he was dead, in the most karen bullshit voice, "god why couldn't that loser fucking die somewhere else". Which totally caught me off guard cause she was genuinely a good boss and seemed to be a decent person, unless you're homeless then to her you're no longer a human. i ask if shes being serious since that's a human being right there."hardly a person, one less loser coming in here asking for free shit". I had never seen the guy before and i knew most of the homeless crowd since id give cigarettes to anyone that asked. I lost my shit right as the other closing drive came in. he is like wtf is going one so i explain. he looks at the homeless guy and back over to her "fuck you bitch i quit" and i thought that was a great idea, so i also let her know i was fucking done here as well and she can shove the 2 week notice right up her ass "well you guys need to finish out your shifts, there's no way i can do all these dishes by myself, since our cook has to leave in 15 minutes as well". our cook was a 15 year old girl, her first job and it was nearly the time where she was legally no longer allowed to work. so she chimed in she was done as well which i gave her mad props for. so all three of us leave and stand out front waiting for paramedics to arrive. my manager comes back out demanding we get back in there. i tell her hey you're right i should get back in there, walk back inside and clocked out. this sent her up the fucking wall. and to this day brings a smile to my face. a few days later i got a call from none other than the owner of our store, explaining that he knew what went down(our store had audio and video recording stuff throughout the store), he had terminated her and was wondering if i would like come back, no repercussions for walking out on my shift. i thanked him for doing the right thing and firing that lady but i was no longer interested. he wished me best of luck and hung up. Fuck some people, but having zero respect for someone who died cold and alone in front of a pizza place is beyond sick to me.
ps the quotes are a approximation of what she said since i cant not remember what she said word for word, but for the most part its basically the same as what she said.
thought id clarify that for anyone who cares
Holy shit that is a wild story!
I wanted to cry from the start when you had to wake the guy up and move him along, I was not ready for him to be dead.
Good on you for doing the right thing, it would've been terrifying confronting your boss like that. It's awesome that everyone had eachother's back!
@@Boy_Boy HOLY SHIT! didnt expect a reply from you guys! love the content, let alone you guys check back on your comment sections mad respect.
I was not ready for him to be dead either, nor finding out someone i liked as a person turned out to be such a heartless individual. i know people can suck but didnt expect it in the way it happened. it was a pretty cathartic experience. the other driver and i went to a nearby bar to unwind and i ended up crying for man i never knew. i can not to this day understand how people can be like that. its unbelievably disappointing this is the country i live in.
So she looked at the corpse and she was irritated?... What the f is wrong with her
Did she grow up in a butcher family or something?
Why she has absolutely zero respect for the dead? Her father should've used the belt. Holy cow...
This upload alone has just made the year 2021 infinitely better than 2020.
9:53 Woah woah woah, it sounds like you guys just aren't understanding the homeless subculture. As a former homeless person myself, allow me to educate you. Homeless people actually LOVE being on fire. This one time when I was staying in the YMCA, I was asleep in my bed one morning when someone decided to spray some kind of propellant all over my sheets and set them on fire with me wrapped up in them. Boy oh boy was it fun! It was so exciting I was still shaking half an hour later! What a blast! This tent being on fire is clearly a sign of how luxurious the homeless lifestyle is, and y'all just ain't gettin' it.
A lot of homeless people will put American flags outside their tents because it genuinely makes people harass them less.
GREAT 26 DE JULIO FLAG
Gracias!
if i didn't want houseless people, i would simply offer free housing
what is your address? We can send some your way
@@MasterMorgan007 You completely miss the point.
@@GeraintDafis but you can't just take someone else's property. because then why can't we just take your house?
@@righthomosphere7962 There's a difference between taking someone's only place of residence and taking someone's holiday home lmao, don't even try to make that comparison. And anyways, the government could forcefully buy those homes from rich people for a reduced price, and then put homeless people in them, if you're so desperate for rich people to get some kind of compensation.
@@TheButterMinecart1 why reduced price though? how about market price? I feel like you have a very one sided view.
There was a older man in the rural part of where I live, who was living in a wooden shack, clearly malnourished with two children who were wearing school uniforms when it was term holidays, yet someone said if he’s so poor, why does he have a tv satellite dish on his house?
They disregard everything else yet zero in on that one piece of “luxury”. It probably doesn’t even work anymore
Luckily the welfare services here were notified and they will be receiving financial and housing assistance.
As someone who was homeless 3 times in America, I love you guys.
Hope ya good now
Brazil is where it is, because "the poor" were going to Disney. Of course, our bourgeoisie could not allow this kind of nonsense, now here we are :) (help)
I'm waiting for "going to North Korea to buy a unicorn"
“Going to North Korea for that Dank weed”
You joked about them clearing homeless encampments with a bulldozer, but that is basically standard practice. I live near a canal between a lake and the sea, and in order to get some privacy homeless people regularly set up in the tree line by the canal. Then one day fliers were posted saying basically "There will be a raid tomorrow" and sure enough, the next day city cleanup workers and cops showed up. They arrested everyone who didn't want to leave, took everything, threw away most of it, and a bunch of tents ended up going into the canal.
As a homeless person in the US, I really appreciate the criticism you guys have for the way the news represents homeless folks. I tend to live alone, as there ARE a lot of shady people in the homeless community, but I also believe that a lot of the unpleasant behaviors of these people largely stem from them not having enough social support to actually take care of themselves.
I am not entirely unhappy with my living situation, as I'm a nature lover and live in the woods with two roosters that act as service animals to me, alerting to panic attacks, intruders of both human and animal varieties, and general emotional support. My campsite has often been complimented for being clean and well-kept, but I do not have electricity (outside of the portable batteries I use to keep my phone charged), running water, a bed, or really much of anything. Most of my "luxuries" go towards keeping my boys happy and entertained, thigh I am not against decorating my area with cheap outdoor decor. I feel that if this is where I spend the majority of my time, it ought to feel nice to live in.
EDIT: I do believe there is a problem when homeless people "take over" a sidewalk, but that's more in terms of when homeless people become actively aggressive towards pedestrians trying to use a sidewalk. I think our communities need to be more tolerant of homeless presence, but that doesn't mean tolerance to public displays of violence, drug use, or the like. I'm lucky as the area I live in (Olympia, WA) has some pretty extensive homeless outreach programs including soup kitchens, food, clothing, and hygiene banks, mental and physical health programs, and much more, but it's still not enough to eradicate homelessness. I think when homeless folk are keeping peace and coexisting with the community, they should be left well enough alone. However, cities prioritize shuffling homeless folk around due to annexing laws that say that if a person can prove that they've lived uncontested in the same spot for 7-12 years, they become eligible to legally claim the land they've settled on. Here in Washington, that's 7 years, and in Thurston County cities organize to switch which cities are anti-homeless and which ones are "welcoming" to homeless folk every five years, so that homeless people "still have a place to go", but they're unable to stay settled in any one area for long. I, myself, have been "moved along" several times in my decade+ on the streets for no other reason than that the cities have shuffled where is safe to camp. I don't do drugs, I don't steal, I don't start fights, I don't panhandle- I just want to live peacefully with my roosters, and often end up making positive connections with my housed neighbors.
PS- I don't have a slide.
Back after a brisk 2 year break!
4:00 unfortunately, not enough people realize this. Many just assume people are homeless because solely out of their own decisions and can just choose to not be homeless whenever they want.
I love how Australian you guys are. We call "barbecues" grills in America, so in Australia the reporter simply would have said "a barbecue and a rangehood." He was not commenting on the fact that the barbecue had grill grates.
I moved into a box fort for a week when I was 7. It was pretty epic. I also had air-conditioning, a minibar and separate bed- and living rooms. So I can sympathise with these people.
I cannot put into words how happy it makes me to see the boys back
At last, undeniable evidence that Juche necromancy is real...
Great to see you two back!
I absolutely loved your album, "Kimono My House"! Sparks has been such a big part of my life and I'm glad you two have evolved your medium. I hope this UA-cam channel does well!
lmao
That flag is probably there because the homeless person is a veteran
Omg I literally just mentioned your channel to someone earlier today raving about how awesome your content is but that you never post. I hope this is a sign of more to come? :D
You bet!
We're back now and we'll be uploading regularly. Thanks for sticking through that 2 year hiatus!
Im really glad you guy’s are keeping this amazing project alive, this channel and the work you put into it is GOLD and it’s greatly appreciated. Thank you.
I'm so happy you appreciate our videos! There'll be more coming next week!
@@Boy_Boy “next week”
the irony of the news talking about how things are illegal while these people are just trying to survive is crazy. like, thats the least of the problems here, the danger of it is an issue as was mentioned, as well as it not even being luxurious at all. having to tap into these public resources sounds like a nightmare to do, but theyre left with little to no choice, its pretty much the only option.
When I was a kid, Chicago tried to tackle the homeless problem. They successfully paid homeless people to get on a bus and ride to a different city, 70 miles away. Problem solved!
Switching between this mindset and "why are we helping foreigners instead of our own" must be exhausting for seppos.
"Dont help the foreigners, help the poor here!"
"Oh uh, stop helping pooros, you're getting the smell in my house!"
I really see why the algorithm hates your vids… that’s why they rock tho lol
I'm thinking we should just start doing makeup tutorials instead... We need the money.
