I once read a story where a woman was charged $20 for a bandaid, so she went to CVS, bought a $4 box of bandaids and gave one back to the administration. She told them they could take off the $20 because she had reimbursed them one bandaid. She kept doing this until she basically was so annoying they cleared her debt.
If enough of the American people would do this, along with unionization, reasonable boycotting and actual corporate taxation, they would slowly be heading to a more stable national economy as greedy corporate executives lose the control they've established.
Well i feel like that was justified!
20$ for a bandaid

@@Ragehunger We tried this back in the 1890s to 1920s, lasted for a good while, then recently the people we have elected into the government have started repealing all that progress. Companies also formed to keep the system in check have also now been taken over by said companies.

Suddenly I completely understand why all those supervillains want to wipe out humanity.
Well so much shit is going down that the machine need a hard reset. You know turning it on and off.
@@noxater4463 exactly dude, reboot of humanity. sometimes we gotta flush away the bad so we dont kill ourselves with greed
start of a villain arc here
I have hope humanity will change for the better.
By taking down greedy corporations and big pharma. I’d love a civil war that would do this for the people. No more secrets of what chemicals make what to create life saving medications and insulin and everything under the sun. As well as no more hiding how bad certain things like herbicides and pesticides can be for young human brain development.
I do have hope we all one day will fight for those rights.
I mean have you seen the villains backstory?
This entire subreddit makes me lose what little faith I had in humanity
Lose*
No faith anymore
specifically america tho
You had any in the first place?
Not humanity. The UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
I lived through the School Lunch problems. "Youre not poor enough to get discounted lunches. You cannot eat in the lunch room if you dont pay. Youre not allowed to be anywhere but the lunch room during lunch period."
Its torture to force people into feeding areas and then depriving them of food.
My state fixed that. No more school lunch debt in Minnesota.
It's honestly just a horrible thing to do. Give them the benefit of the doubt!
i thought all countries have free mid day meals for underprevilaged
it is an extreme culture shock to me
please tell me that situations like the last post only happen in america
@@sujithkumaradduru1333 I don't know about every country.
Education in my area is mandatory. Food requires you pay the schools. My guardian mismanaged money so $30 a month for school could be hard to come by.
The School wouldn't allow food debt, so no food for me.
I heard in the state of West Virginia, USA that food debt in school was allowed, but that that the schools would contact Child Protective Services if it wasn't paid quickly.
Its absurd that school is treated as more important than anything else.
I'm so sorry, no one should _ever_ experience that. My Mom used to send me with extra money so I could cover someone else if they didn't have enough, but it shouldn't have to be that way.
Dude i hate the US healthcare system. The amount of people that need things like insulin to SURVIVE!! The US makes it almost impossible for people to survive, especially with the cost being like 350$ a week.:/
I can’t tell you the amount of non Americans I have talked to and have been Rucker flabbergasted to high hell when finding out how much it is over here I even remember once a dude said and I quote”mother fucker that’s as much as my last 3 car costs combined!!!”
@@elfumidoreviscaratoroflung yeah, it's fucking insane for us europeans. I pay 220€ for health insurance a month. That covers basically everything.
@@elfumidoreviscaratoroflung I'm from Italy and when I hear about the US healthcare system I wonder how can people be fine with it.
When I tell people that public healthcare is better some say "I don't want to pay for someone else's mistakes" and that is really what hurts me.
@@Benjamin-xv9leI work shitty job so I pay like between 40-150£ a month. And that covers everything but dentist and prescription which i have a card so I pay once a year like 100£
I think ambulance not being free is the biggest BS too.
2:51 - "Is she, herself, personally doing it?" - Yes, she is. She's not just "the face" of the brand. She is the founder, chairwoman and CEO of the company.
And even if it was like a brand deal or collaboration. At certain point where you aren't strapped for cash and getting millions, you hold some responsibility with who you associate your name with.
Even youtubers who get fraction of what she does apologise when they get money from shady sponsors and put down the videos.
I was going to say that. Beyonce, Rihanna, Kim K, etc... can 100% afford to find companies not using slave labor. They're rich af without a clothing business, so they aren't strapped for cash. But capitalism will always win.
That's just like asking if we should blame Hitler for the Holocaust, after all, he did not personally killed the Jews.
That sir, is not a good example. Sure hitler didn’t pull the switch to gas every Jew, but he sent out the order to kill them all. He even gave the thumbs up for human experiments on them. Sure she isn’t breaking the arms of every female worker who is too slow, but she’s still setting the policy to have it done
This story came out to be FALSE. like 6 years ago actually lmaoooo
14:47 I fully support the fact that we need to learn more about Alan Turing but along with him we also need to recognize the polish and French code breakers that originally broke the code and allowed him to automate the process with his machine. history books barely mention Turing but never mention the polish or French codebreakers because they were taken over so quickly.
Reminds me of when I had to do an essay on one of the guys who rode along with Paul Revere.
All of Turings work was covered up, just because he was GAY. I hate homophobia of course but that's just stupid asf
Turing didn't break shit! It was capturing the Enigma machine that broke the code!
I did learn about Alan Turing at school when I was about 12-13 in think, but that was in Germany so it might be different here than in the US.
@@n0body016 What fucking work?! His only contribution to history is making it possible to determine if an AI is actually self aware.
As an American, the amount of anger I got from this is UNREAL
As an American, it's downright criminal and stupid that I am lucky enough to have family who wanted to cover me under their work provided healthcare, but because I'm too old, so they have to pay extra for a basic as hell emergency coverage plan because our retarded government refuses to provide us the basic human rights in the year of our lord 2023. This country is disgusting. I'm twenty-eight, and literally cannot do anything that isn't an emergency because of this nightmare dystopia...

You know what's really awful? The fact that Robin gets these subreddits that make his blood boil like a hot spring and only gets one happy subreddit about once a month.
I completely agree, I've noticed Robin seems to get stuck with the significantly 'less fun' subreddits (compared to the others). Come on Emkay, give him a break with the depressing stuff (at least balance it out among the 3 hosts a little better). We love your rants, Robin! But we also want you to enjoy your job.
arctic,salmon fisher. Your profile pic fits your comment perfectly.
This is hell..
I didn't even cry at my father's funeral, but this video actually had me forcing down desperate sobs.
Props to Robin for being able to read through this subreddit
wow you have some fucked up priorities
One of the easiest emotions to simulate to the point of making it real is anger.
Feeling sad? Get angry at the sadness. Not sad anymore right?
And it’s surprisingly easy to keep a calm tone while angry.
Seriously though the amount of anger I hear in Robin’s voice in this video is actually scary
@@tsunami4162 you might be right about that anger part. I was actually pushed to tears because of how angry I was,, I can't even try to understand the selfishness of this species...
Yeah Robin sounded angry throughout this video. I'm pretty sure that he held back on his rants because the feelings are obvious or they might have been cut out?
Well if you find a bath in chlorinated water weird, just think of it as a swim in a heated pool.
Where I live they actually chlorinate the tap water. But like in much less concentration. It's common!, kills off bacteria and makes the water quality last high longer I guess.
dawg your tap (bath) water IS chlorinated. Just not as much as a public pool.
*Edit* In US Canada and Most European Countries*
@@ezmodey1105
*WAY* lower to be "maybe effective" against bacteria but not harmful for human digestion.
But the story was about a hot tub.
There are regulations in place for those. Namely that the water needs to be changed in certain intervals (in most countries I know of at least once every 2 weeks) *OR* be chlorinated.
Some companies change the water in those things daily or at least 2 times a week for cleaning.
That company did neither.
For both "The Authentic Feel" and to save money.
It's like having a hot tub, but for bathing instead of just soaking.
@@raylion399 Same here. There's quite a few times that I've sat under a hot shower until the hot water ran out (45+ minutes) due to migraines. I'll get out of the shower and my vision is as if I had just swam in a pool and kept my eyes open under water. Crazy amount of chlorine in our water
It’s frustrating how many older people don’t realize how one medical issue can completely ruin a younger person’s momentum thanks to corporate greed and no universal healthcare.
My step-Dad is a smart man, & an incredibly hard worker, & even he argues with me when I bring up Universal health care. (He also watches Fox news which unfortunately takes his intelligence level down a few notches by giving him biased propaganda from the very people benefitting from others exploitation). It's so frustrating & like arguing with a wall. (& my brother has CF & has struggled, so he should definitely see the advantages Universal healthcare would bring him).
@@KyrieChii get him off fox news, immediately
Our world has literally become a huge circus run by psychopathic vampiric clowns that are not even remotely funny and we are the unwilling audience who are being held hostage without ransom and drained against our will with no way to escape. Don't know why I chose that analogy but I feel it fits.
Because vampires like dracula were specifically allegory for the ruling class.
USA citizens out here playing the hunger games.
@@apol720 Funny how the hunger games takes place in a post-post-apocalyptic America, innit?
Goddamn. I know my words ain’t much. But reading these posts on the surface made me appalled.
As an Australian, my heart goes out to the people in the US who are suffering from all of this BS. Me being in a different country entirely, I admit I never thought about these things much. Different lives. It was only reading these posts, that made me take a step back and remind myself “Holy shit. People live with stuff like this on their minds? This is not okay.”
These stories made me pissed! I wish for some kind of justice for you guys!
To whomever’s reading this, wherever you are in the world. I hope you are having a good day. Stay strong. You can do this.
As an American, thank you. It's terrifying that I have to constantly dodge the ER and Urgent care since my insurance won't cover any more medical emercancies for another year.
Always nice to know our Australian brothers and sisters are looking out for us. I hope you have a good day, kind internet stranger.
Can you guys just come over an conquer us or something? We have significantly less hostile wildlife and think boomerangs are cool
As an American with an immigrant father, thank you
thank you! As a American its hard for me and my family and since the pandemic, my dad's been sick but thankfully he's recovering
To be fair to textbooks, Turing wasn't left out of history for being gay. He was absolutely driven to suicide for it, but he wasn't left out of history. It's because the documents which revealed he had ANYTHING to do with cracking enigma only became declassified in 2015.
The "cleaned" cast iron made me physically recoil.
*confused L4D pan hit noise*
What does the pan do?
@@suffering9481 cast irons are meant to be seasoned. You get a cast iron, rub it with oil, and then you season it so it'll stick. Basically you season the pan. The guy cleaned the pan. Taking away all the seasoning the cast iron held. Not only that, the pan is completely naked because it lost its black color.
@@suffering9481
Cast Iron Pans collect "Soot" (dried residue from previous cooking) and women (mostly older) swear that it enhances the flavor.
Correctly I might add.
So the dude in his infinite wisdom and "trying to help" destroyed the pan.
The pan can be reseasoned, but it's going to take *hours* of work to make it right.
I was sick with a heart issue I was born with about two years ago, I got an ambulance to the hospital, after staying for a few hours, they said I could go home, get some clothes and get ready for a long stay, I drove back, parked my car in the hospital and stayed for a month, getting daily bloods and medicine, I was fed and only had two "bills", a can of soda outside meal time so that was one euro I used in the vending machince and my car parking fees which the hospital aaid I could ignore. Also I was covered for month off work and had zero gaps in my paycheck because sick days cover you as long as you are sick. But America can't even give you the day off to vote.
9:45 if this is the dystopian society we live in where people doing good things are getting fired from their jobs. That is horrible.
I made the worst mistake a few days ago. I decided to research how much going to a mental hospital would cost, and then I looked up how much a typical funeral costs. (Because I have suicidal ideations and my family is broke af so I wanted to see which one would be "better.")
Turns out that funerals are noticeably cheaper than actually getting help. Let me repeat that: *Here in America, it is more affordable to die, to
k!ll urself, than it is to actually go to the hospital to try and get better.* I wish I had never gotten curious about that. It feels hopeless. It feels like I have nowhere to go. Luckily I've settled on living to age 30 at most, so I might be able to hope to get better within that time frame, but I'm just a kid, man. I should not be thinking about this stuff at age 14.
Even if it seems like there is nowhere, or nothing you can do, the only person who controls your body is you; if you wanted to pack up everything you owned and bail then you have the power to do so, you just need to find the will to do so, even if it's *purely out of spite.* I know that's hard, and that it's very easy to become discouraged and feel trapped, but we keep being conditioned to accept our helplessness instead of become enraged and *do* something about it. That anger is a natural feeling, the elite who control society try to suppress it because it's the very thing that allows people to break the status quo.
At 14 you're still at an age where you'll be prone to those 'bouts of rebellion' but as much as adults dismiss it as petty or whatever, there's a *reason* why that happens; young folk are meant to be the catalysts of change when the world around them is stagnant.
Stay strong buddy. You're absolutely right in that you shouldn't be having to think about these things this early. But, when push comes to shove, please, I beg of you, hold onto a shred of determination to keep living, whatever the reason you can come up with. Not out of obligation to anyone else, but for your own sake. Because you're the only person you can ever trust to fight for yourself through thick and thin, and the world needs more people who have the courage to fight for themselves, who can show more than petty defiance. Fight to *live,* not just survive. If that means you have to abandon everything you've known to find somewhere safe to live someday then so be it, do it without hesitation. The opportunity doesn't need to be waited for, you can make it happen yourself when you've the courage to do so, the resolve to face the consequences of your decisions.
When you take flight with wings of fire you have to brace yourself to be burned, because if you stop flapping you'll fall.
But those wings can take you to anywhere in the world you want to go.
As someone who had to deal with similar stuff earlier in my life i would say set goals no matter how small for the next day the next week next month or year goals are what drive you and are the catalist for your existence and what releases happy chemicals yes meeting that goal so its important to set them small and realistic and even if it is something as mundane as tomorrow im going to stand up at 6am and already when you meet that small goal you will feel a bit better about yourself cause you made up your mind to do something yourself and accomplished it. Dont know if this is something that will help you but it helped me and i wish you the best of luck and happiness in the future
I settled on 20! 23 now, happily living (and with a cat). Nothing is set in stone, but even if life doesn't get better, I hope you reach 31 and think to yourself, "Glad I'm still alive." Even if the world is still awful, I wish for you to find at least one thing that makes leaving it all behind *not worth it* and hold onto that feeling. Sometimes it finds you, sometimes you find it. Sometimes it will be meaningless to others, but if it means something to you, it's gotta be worth fighting to live for.

i would like to point out that the extra 27 cents that a big Mac costs in denmark is not to compensate for the increased pay to the workers, it's to make the numbers look nice on the price boards. They simply rounded to the closest whole DKK (danish money).
It's the same reason a LOT of items have prices styled like: x99.95, it's very much not because they need that 95 cents to break even or give them enough profit, it's to trick people into thinking it costs less than (x+1)00.00
So in reality, giving american McD workers propper pay should not even increase the price by 27 cents, as that would look weird on the price boards.
Please let me come to Denmark it sounds like heaven,and it's the Lego place and I love Legos
Sadly Denmark is incredibly xenophobic so…
@@spectoestis3106 since you like Denmark and Lego so much, I'll tell you a fun fact
you don't say "Legos", you don't make an english plural out of a danish word
or rather in this case, a combinations of words
if I remember right, Lego comes from "leger godt", which literally means "play well" (but you may wanna check that)
so don't say "Legos", say "Lego sets" or "Lego bricks" instead
"The day my husband asks me to pay halves on rent is the day I pack my bags"

That last post really got to me. I was that poor kid on reduced lunches. I've had my lunches taken away both in elementary and even middle school. It wasn't until I was in high-school that we were bringing in enough income to get us off the reduced meal plan.
Making kids pay for meals is bullshit enough, but I digress
Covid made lunches free for everyone and I was extremely grateful. Not only for myself, but for kids that were in similar situations as past me
I'm now graduated as of 2021 and barely keep food in my fridge at a 12.50/hr pay rate
Due to some massive complications of my childhood I don't have a bank account and rely entirely on my mom remembering to pull all of my money out of her account. Which doesn't happen a lot
I'm lucky that I had a previous connection with my landlord and she only charges me 500 a month for rent. But it's still a lot man

Thank you Robin for mentioning the San Diego Zoo! I went there literally hundreds of times as a kid (family had season passes, plus went there every Saturday for years) and I always saw how awesome everyone was toward the animals. The other zoo (when I had left San Diego, I believe it was still called the 'wild animal park') was amazing as well. Used to get magazines from the Zoo that talked about various goings on inside, and what they were doing for animals and the environment. Fucking love the San Diego Zoo. Would love to visit them again in the future
Not a zoo, but the Original Crab Shack in Tybee Island, Georgia(one of the Barrier Islands, near Savannah) has its own little keeping of animals
They have cats in the main restaurant area that you're allowed to watch and pet, alligators in their own protected habitat, and rescue parrots(rescued by the staff, not for sale, I should specify) in a room next to the gift shop.
Ironic how a somewhat-indie seafood restaurant is better at taking care of multiple species of animals than most zoos...
This is exactly why I plan to move to another country with my boyfriend. I won't have to deal with $50,000 trips to the hospital, I won't be discriminated [as much] for being bisexual & having a same-sex relationship.

Germany's pretty cool in general.
Few of my trans friends have moved there due to the recent Dark Ages regression the US has decided to go on.
I'm considering it too...
I wish you the best of luck, dude. Here in the EU discrimination is still very real in a lot of countries (source: am an Italian queer person), but at least you won't have to fear every trip to the doctor and being fired because of a whim.

It- it really hurts to see these sometimes. At this point, I might actually consider moving to Canada even though I don't want to since I've lived in Texas my whole life. But I'm coming into adulthood and even though I don't plan to turn my life into a train wreck, I start to stress and worry more than I should about my future.
I would suggest trying to help improve things in your own state rather than leaving. Countries like Canada and the UK are increasingly having the same problems as US, with politicians trying to privatize the public services that Americans wish they had, so they might not be safe havens for long.

As someone who lives in Canada its fucking appalling how shitty the US healthcare system is. Like this is a fucking problem that needs to be addressed immediately. It’s really sad that people can’t get the medications they NEED TO SURVIVE.
The USA public opinion has literally just gotten to the point of being the "I guess I'll die" *shrug* meme. It's cheaper and nobody cares anyway.
just when Robin is getting subreddits that aren't as infuriating...

12:40 that is also why CEO's get paid so much, they are dumping as much profit as possible and a easy 'non' tax dodging way is to funnel it in to the pay of the people running the company who will then spend it on the company at the start of the next tax year

It’s stories like the last one that make me so happy that our school lunch is entirely free and that during the pandemic they would deliver food to every student (regardless of financial status beforehand) so that they could eat for the week. I take it for granted sometimes but the fact I can eat lunch every day for free is a massive perk of where I live.
As an Australian, I’m so incredibly grateful for our Medicare system here. I spent 2 days in hospital, had 2 blood tests, 2 biopsies, an X-ray, an ultrasound and skin taps, was provided with plenty of antibiotics and medication and received 3 meals a day. The only thing I paid for was my parking, which with a concession card was $11 a day.

Yeah, whenever I think about me having a child, one of the non-optional choices I plan for is home schooling. USA education sucked enough to me who had waivers, zero school-shooting PSAs, and teachers who genuinely like me. Not even because I hated the lessons or people, just because it kinda made me a worse version of me in retrospect. I wonder if I'd be more into linguistics, architecture, or math now if I hadn't wasted 10+ hours every day on school and the rest recovering by watching TV because I couldn't think of a better hobby and had no friends to play with until I was so used to not having friends that I became a bad friend. I've recently discovered I'm a morning person too, which wasn't true then. It's a lifestyle I don't want for any kid I raise.

She was absolutely mortified and was worried sick for her husband, who mind you was in the middle of the mess, over the course of the days with the situation took place. And after all that they just are like “here, have 5 bucks for your troubles” if i could meet those people at that company id have a few choice words for them
16:59 Why are we charging kids to eat at a place they are legally required to be?
Because we send all of our tax money to like 5 people
15:46 I've never see a malnourished elephant before.
7:00 this is... if this is true, i'm traumatized. American people, how do you guys live?? Like i genuinely don't get it how you can live in a country where surviving as a diabetes patient is like 1300 a month?? Guys, this is so dark...
He died at the age of 26 for such a fixable reason... if this is real, i'm gonna cry
It's normalised to die because of lack of healthcare the same way it's normalised to die because of gun violence. There are millions of Americans who defend this system
Be as careful as fucking possible. Do not call an ambulance for me if I am hurt, I'd rather die than put my family into debt because the US is no longer a Constitutional Republic, it is a Buacracy
The thing is that you can steal a candy bar. But you can't steal medical treatment...😊
I remember in highchool I went an entire 2 months without school breakfast or lunch because my parents couldn't afford it. I got caught with food after someone handed me some after noticing that I hadn't eaten school lunch for a very long time. You know what the school did after we got caught? They put the person who gave me the food in detention for wasting their parents money, and I got a write up for begging which was 'inappropriate school behavior."
I actually hit that school lunch threshold too. Not because I was poor but forgetful. Turns out in my school (probably because many students are actually on welfare) you cannot be denied lunch, they just give you two small pieces of bread with a single slice of cheap cheese in between. I don't recall if you get milk or not.
Sounds like a nazi camp
Robin thought he was out of the woods yesterday with the Bone Hurting Juice... But oh, the pain is back. In FORCE. Like, seriously, that post at 5:07 is plain awful. How could a mother fail their children in such a fashion? Bleh. :l
I hope this day goes amazing for you!
Yeah that treatment of a child is pretty messed up
The person who asked getting that response must have immensely regretted immediately
@@AlyxTheProtogenThanks, same to you, Al3x!
You know you messed up if someone with a vore pfp is boutta start judging your choices
17:27 - This same thing happened to a kid in my elementary school - Canyon Rim, SLC, UT, 1991, 1st grade. The lunch lady & Admin, I think, took away his tray, & gave him a bowl of, applesauce, cause his lunch account was empty. The memory of his sad dissapointed face, pops up a lot. We were told we'd get in trouble & have our lunch taken away, if we shared our food w/ him.
yeah because the school owners did not get their CUT. I an glad the school I work for DOES NOT do that. We do not let the kid go hungry we have something set aside for those kids. It is rare that ever happens.
@@SuntopKinseeker - I'm sure something like that wouldn't happen now, due to parental & social media outrage
Remember, people like these have always existed for a long time, it’s just that nowadays they’ve gotten greedier, it has become easier for them to exploit people, and due to social media their action gained a lot more spotlight
11:10 my mo went completely blind for 10 minutes when a doctor put her on those once after refusing to listen to her- it’s a long story so I won’t type it all out but she has major back problems (doctors say it’s a metrical she ain’t ina wheel chair and can still move) and this one doctors who blames everything on her weight (not even fat, most if it’s scar tissue) and didn’t wanna listen to her when she listened out all her medical and Heath issues, so when she took them, It reacted badly to one of them (I think her diabetes, idk tho- this was 2-3 years ago) and she went completely blind for 10 minutes. Couldn’t even see the flash light my dad was shining in her eyes.
These are a lot of the reasons I'm never having kids, I will not put them through a meat grinder like this. and I'm sure I'm not the first to feel this way, so If the US ever suffers a "population crisis" the they brought it on themselves.
People under 30 of the USA just need to form a pact that if things don't get better for them by the time they reach their 30s, as in getting healthcare, fair pay, and housing, that we just move out of the USA or die.
Older generations don't want to make anything good for us? We leave this shithole to them and let them wrinkle and fade with no legacy and no one to take their place.
That last story hit me in my feels, 😢
4:22
The bottom two photos look like something out of a Let's Game It Out video.
Funny enough, in Sweden Ambulance rides aren't free either. They just however cost 30$. It's a standard ER fee. (Which have a roof so you can never go bankrupt. I think it's 250$ per year)
Bruh someone needs to show this subreddit to politicians
I'm type-1 diabetic myself, and currently can't afford my insulin. There's absolutely no reason for insurance and medical costs to be so much in the US. All my credit cards are maxed or near maxed, and if I try to make more than the minimum payments for them I'll end up overdrafted and in an even worse state.
I’ve legit had to tell my coworkers due to my medical issues to not call an ambulance cause I’m not paying for the damn wee woo wagon, if I can still walk I’ll just walk to the damg hospital it’s not too far
if I get severely injured, I'd just accept my inevitable end. its better than going to the hospital and getting charged a shit ton of money for not dying
@@shitanotosaurus And a funeral would be less expensive
This is a bit long, but it's a positive post; another zoo that I think does a good job is the St. Louis Zoo (in St Louis, Missouri). The enclosures, especially for large animals, are larger than a lot of zoos I've been to, as well as they have areas for the animals to hide away if they don't want to be around people (including non-publicly-visible enclosure areas). There's a couple enclosures that are more of the old style zoo areas where it's more prison-esque, like the pictures in the video, however it seems like they try to use them as temp spots rather than permanent residences. The more intelligent animals like primates have some of the nicest living areas.
It actually has free admissions, so they don't really make a huge profit off of it. That can be an awesome experience for children and people on a budget to learn about and see different animals. If you're in the area, I definitely recommend checking it out, and since it's free, if you don't stay long it's not a big deal. They make most of their money off of donations and membership programs, and it does seem like it goes to actual conservation and animal education efforts. I believe it's a combination of a nonprofit and a government program, but I'm not 100% sure about that.
One of the fundraising programs that I love is the "animal adoption" program which is specifically to raise extra money to take care of the animals that reside there. You effectively pay to get a certificate as well as have your name associated with an animal in the zoo for a year, plus they give you a plush of the animal if they are able to find one. They also have tour days for people who've adopted one of the animals to go see the kinds of things the zookeepers do to take care of animals . It's honestly awesome as gifts for kids, because they'll love it as well as you know the money is going somewhere good. It's also very fun as a kid to go to the zoo and point at one of your favorite animals and say, "Hey, that's mine!"
You know, i clicked on this video not having read the title... Kinda wish i had cuz now I'm just depressed
With the one at 14:27 with the "ex-con" who missed his interview to save a life, I actually think that the "ex-con" bit IS important, not because I think anyone should demonise ex-cons, but because someone who has come out of prison arguably has more to lose by skipping a job interview (due to likely getting fewer opportunities to interview in the first place) than the average person... thus meaning that him willingly giving up this chance to better his own situation in order to help someone else is an enormously altruistic act.
kids in the US having "lunch debt"..
smh
6:50 that part actually made me really sad.
Ambulance rides are free in Canada either, they’re $80 give or take. I Was guilt tripped after attempting suicide in highschool because my mom had to pay $80 for the ambulance.
that wave is indeed trash.
A Numbing-Helpless-Feeling 11:40 is a far-cry from a humbling helpless feeling: sympathetic thoughtful people are never in power, while forceful-conceited-narcissists occupy any gatekeeper-position with an iota of authority; and I can't count on fairness or a riot to change that.
Want to file a complain; you have to hand the complaint to the person you're lodging it against.
6:00 Oh, don't worry, here in Switzerland, you also pay for a ride in the ambulance, which I didn't know about before I had an emergency.
Woah, USA's healthcare is really something else
In my country insulin cost: 30$ without prescription, 9$ with one, and is free for seniors and pregnant women
Can we give Robin the nice subreddits for a few weeks? I worry about his stress levels.
Screw nice subreddits, the man needs goddamn health insurance!
@@mkjirak I mean, that's a given, but why stress him out to begin with. Let him have both.
8:19
Ok… to all the people in the United States, when it gets to the point where you see someone *willing* to go to prison just to survive, you abandon that country and start anew
Just when I started having more faith in humanity I see this subreddit and it goes down like a heavy stone in water...
Honestly 8:20 is just depressing. I hope he got that dollar.
4:58 we old enough to talk about what would happen if a man did this to their child? why is this kind of mental abuse permissible if a woman does it? nobody should be doing this shit! mark my words, if it was a man doing this, the cops would have been on their way before they could even respond to the other person. why aren't they saving these kids from psychotic mothers?
as you can see nobody is being like its ok just because shes a women
Sure Biance paid those middle men, but she never once thought about it. And her fans have spoken against it. So yanno, ignorance only buys you so much leeway before you begin to wear the oppressor's same gloves.
I have never seen anyone spell Beyonce like that, lol
In all seriousness though, you are absolutely right. You parsed it very well.
3:56 I AM NOW CLEANING UP MY STATE
This subreddit makes me so fricking livid, I hate the state of the US, there's no reason for this.
And the USA is actually considered to be a first world country? Color me impressed.
It is for the wealthy people. That's why.
*has undiagnosed mental and physical health problems*
*goes to GP, insta care, ER, or any other medical facilities available*
*spends hours there each time, patiently waiting for results*
*doctor comes in and says, "well, our tests told us what you DON'T have, but we don't have the staff or time to do more tests, to find out what you DO have."*
*leaves hospital with expensive bill, and still no idea what's going wrong in my body.*
Thanks America
15:22
this is really sad. my dad died of a widowmaker heart attack just two weeks ago after battling non-Hodgkin lymphoma since february. i was only 15 when he dropped dead in the house i thought nothing bad would ever happen in.
r/awefuleverything is just robin hating on people
Corporations, insurance and capitalism are not people.
Note, landlords and CEOs are also not people.
Now don't quote me on this, but the USA could reduce their military spending by half and still be the highest percentage of where taxpayer money goes to. And with that half that's cut off, the tax money could fix healthcare, schooling, policing... pretty much anything AND still have a few million dollars left of change to give back to the people.
Half of this subreddit is just the US healthcare system
So, for a medical bill? Ask for an itemized bill. Always ask for an itemized bill. They tend to be a lot more truthful.
Wow, the US is crazy... No offense to my friends across the pond.
Here in Aus we have problems too but this video really puts it into perspective.
Wishing you all the best and please stay safe out there friends 💜
You guys should be careful, from a look at your politics from my perspective, a lot of the Commonwealth is going the way of the US (Canada and the UK far more quickly than Australia).
The privatizing of public services, the government's disregard for indigenous people, the increasing disregard for the environment, etc.
And take America as a sort of "Ghost of Christmas future" for AUS.

@@pennyforyourthots absolutely, that's another thing that's worrying me. We seem to follow in the US's footsteps a lot of the time. Usually for good reason (being as big and influential as you are) but the world is heading backwards now :/
16:47 since you no longer had a job you should have stood out in front of the business with a poster board and told everyone who walked by about why you were fired.
As a Tyoe 1 diabetic, i am FOREVER grateful that i don't live in the US... My insulin is free here in Sweden, so is most of my equipment. I have a glucose meter that i stick to my arm, and i pay nothing for those. The ONLY thing i have to pay for, is a new scanner, but that's $50, and i only need that if i don't want to use my phone sooo... Yeah.
A doctor's visit here is $20, but there's a limit on how much you need to spend a year, it's around $120 i think, once you reach that limit, it's free for the rest of the year. Like, if i went to the doctor on Feb 20, and i reach the limit in... June. It's free until Feb 20 the following year.
Dentistry is not free though, but i go to the dentist student clinic and pay almost nothing there.
it’s my biggest pet peeve when news outlets try to twist a devastating dystopian story with positivity. NO. that child should NOT have to rely on a high school to build their wheelchair?? nothing about that is positive to me
