Democracy 3 | Max Difficulty Greece - Year 3
Вставка
- Опубліковано 17 лис 2024
- I'm back from retirement for one final challenge! We will be taking control of Greece immediately following the 2010 debt crisis that brought the country to its knees. To make things even more interesting, we will be playing on maximum difficulty. Yes, you heard that right: The hardest modded nation in the game on the hardest difficulty. I'm sure it'll be fine.

"If people have money - they'll buy alcohol. If people don't have money - they somehow still buy alcohol"
Pravus 2k18
RitsarStudios Pickpocket 100
RitsarStudios but thats true.
Living in Semi-rural alabama, this is true. Most of the poor people are poor bc they spend over half of their paycheck on drugs, alcohol, tobacco, etc etc.
Hahaha, this happened in Estonia, the state slapped insane taxes on alcoholic drinks. Estonia is one of the top dogs in alcohol consumption so people decided to buy their shit in Latvia where it is two times cheaper (as is fuel, food, hardware). Now Latvian border towns sell more alcohol than the rest of Latvia combined and the state budget has a hole because retarded politicians couldn’t think one step ahead.
They dont buy it, the make it. Trust me I am Greek.
I like your advocacy for trade and tech schools. Coming from a country that has a LOT of them and not so coincidentally exports millions of labor to the US for jobs learned from these schools, your point is more than proven. The US has no shortage of jobs for these people. I guess it comes with the stigma that if you have less than a four year degree in college you can't succeed in life.
18:10 _but_ the countries that focus on rehabilitation instead of incarceration happen to have the lowest violent crime rates. It's not necessarily solely due to this, but a country like say Norway has an incredibly effective prison system that focuses on this - the opposite model I would say is the US, who I think we all agree has big problems on the state level with mass incarceration, problems that are leading states like PA to start using reforms to reduce sentence lengths for non-violent offenders.
I'm of the opinion that the conservatives have this one wrong - though I must admit that the appeals to emotion (ie. "keep those MS13 illegals off the streets for life!" or w/e) are undeniably effective.
I am a Republican and I agree with rehabilitation depending on the crime though. I don't think a serial rapist and murder should go back on the streets, some people just have problems and will never be able to be changed.
@@michaela5586 Well those belong in psychatries and not in prisons
Point falls apart when you look at the diversity in Norway. It’s a good point but it’s not going to solve the issue.
I dont understand what the diversity has to do with anything with other emotional stances. We all have biases, that's just a result of conditioning from a fight, flight, or freeze. But if you truly believe the Jeffersonian/Bacon (and all that repeated the idea) that all humans are created equal, then it just boils down to adjust rehabilitation of values, beliefs, and norms people were raised early life. Extreme/violent crimes is a split based off of malis and environment, kind of a manslaughter piece of the argument. If you don't see humans as equal (this is not a pointed statement) and you don't believe in the ability of true rehabilitation with the expectation of society to accept them back in to market (meaning there is a reasonable expectation to hiring ex-cons) then what is the purpose of even keeping anyone alive? I'm really not trying to make an icto procto argument I would just like to clarify the parameters of what diversity in an equal but class based society.
17:10 This is actually true. Because when you have access to internet at all times the less time you want to spend outside of it. Example: "I could go to Mosque with my parents OR i could stay home and watch some -porn- Pravus videos"
Wind Wind I take you speak from experience ;)
Yee.
>“porn / Pravus videos"
Do you really feel difference?
Cody Olander most of the time they Are, studies have shown that the more intelligent someone is the higher the chance of them being atheists
Miguel Lopes that depends on how you define education.
As a matter of fact, rehabilitation does reduce crime drastically. In the US, where justice is the focus and nobody cares about rehabilitation, there is an 80% recividism rate. However, in Norway, where rehabilitation is a big focus, there is a 20% recividism rate. Rehabilitation is more than just telling people that crime is wrong. In a lot of or most cases mental health is a huge cause of their crimes, so just with psychologial help you can reintegrate a lot of people into society.
If only it were this easy in real life.
I mean it would be easy if greece focused on money instead of name problems 😂
@@fitmotheyap Pretty retarded comment mate.
Rehabilitation of prisoners is usually a smart idea and a smart investment from the governments perspective. Case in point Norway which have a really low crime rate and recidivism rate because the rehabilitate people. This means that when they are released from prison they become hard-working citizens instead of hardened criminals. If one would look at the USA this is not what is happening, people are treated like criminals and therefore think that they can only be criminals. So instead of making sure criminals commit more crimes, one should make sure they commit fewer crimes.
Yes Pravus! In my school, half the graduating seniors said they would have liked a class on taxes. I believe that I have to take Geometry and Calculus, but Financial Algebra is optional. I hate that school forces us to learn useless information.
1. I went to a community college (was very technical centered though).
2. Going to higher education for a non STEM field. Do I have doubts? Yes. Do I fear student debt? Yes. But it was never my forte to do things like welding or plumbing.
3. No I don't look down on blue collar work. My whole family does that stuff. I may honestly try it if my degree falls flat.
And yes I know you weren't talking to me, I just like being a part of the "convo". I feel like you and I could have excellent discussions. I agree with you on a good amount of things but where we diverge we really diverge.
7:20 When Pravis makes you reconsider going to college lmfao
To be honest the whole culture is a good bit of life experience that can improve you as a person, so there are impacts other than just the actual lectures.
sam raynes
But is that worth thousands of dollars of debt?
jthedog thats a question only you can answer for yourself. I learned who I wanted to be as a person at college, formed my religious and political views, and met my fiance. Then went on to get a law degree based on my degree. Is it for everyone? No. Can it be worth it? Yes.
True
jthedog Suppose it depends on the person, I was always a bit more withdrawn and the whole experience has made me a better person, but yeah at the cost of over £9k a year....
Your rant on technology colleges was spot on! We have the same problem in Brazil, tons of people with useless degrees because they romanticize college education, even in pointless fields where there's little demand.
Two things to comment; I criminology major and rehabilitation have seen major effects on crime.
2. Regarding the married and raising children. I heard you talk about statistics regarding alcohol and health earlier about the two glass a week thing. We must remember that statistics is a two way street and does not say much about cause end effect. The alcohol messurements got those result probably because those who drink more alcohol has a worse less healthy lifestyle. A perfectly healthy adult that stops drinking 2 glass a week would not save a year if his life. That is simplification of statistics.
Same goes for marriage. That people "stick together" and would raise more well adjusted babies because of it is a simplification. The statistics is more likely the way it is because people that stick together have a more well functioning family, giving more care to their children. The statistics show more "well functioning parents" then marriage. I don't say you are wrong but be careful how to read statistics.
For your first point, I definitely think you have a point. The scandinavian model, which focuses on extensively rehabilitation, has been extremely successful at reducing recidivism rates.
I implore all of you who are interested to watch the documentary "Breaking the cycle" (ua-cam.com/video/NuLQ4gqB5XE/v-deo.html), where an Norwegian prison warden joins an American warden to visit a maximum security prison, and vice versa. It truly is fascinating to see the differences within the two systems and the effects it has.
As a Scandinavian, the bias is ofcurse there, but I agree and so does much of the research we have studied and I thank you for giving a second opinion!
US Prisons have sent administrators to judge the Scandinavian anti-recidivism model and... it does save money, it stops recidivism and it leads to better outcomes for society.
The desire to make prison a punishment and, of course, the needs of the prison industry are the ONLY reasons to run the US prison model the way that it is run, according to everything I've read.
Showing love for Blue Collar Work, I love my plumber, and electrician, and mechanic, they're all great guys
12:00 Good point about finance being taught in schools over other subjects like calculus (even though i'm an engineer) that only a small percent of the population will ever use. It's still important to have some business sense which should be a basic skill that should be taught to everyone.
See longer video.......know there's a Pravus rant in it xD Keep it going pal
Not even a member of his own party! Too funny.
Any Greek person watching this would know that Pravus' strategy I guess you could say would never work because even if you have the money why pay taxes?
The Problem with ineffective Tax Offices. They usually track down tax evaders and can get pretty good at it - but of course it's hard work to convict business owners. You'll need to check over their balance sheets, P&Ls, tax returns and so on and so forth - every year in order to track deviations hinting towards an illegal shift of money. And you'll have to do that for every business there is including self-providing farmers, etc. It's even harder to detect tax evasions on a private level - but there aren't that high amounts involved so it might be better to concentrate on businesses first.
I'm convinced getting Greek Tax offices up and running again would have been actually a service to the country as opposed to putting it in chains sacrificing everything to serving the interest of its enormous amount of debt. Instead going for the latter did only make the situation worse - but then again it was political corruption leading to public administration being in such a poor condition in the first place.
I mean in real life the Greeks were literally avoiding 70% of their taxes. The game simply don't accounts for the scale of the evasion.
Greece would have needed to publicize the both VAT and income taxes, as well as heavily ramped up enforcement in order to even have a chance of fixing their problems.
In my high school calculus was only required if you wanted to graduate with honors. In order to graduate at all you had to pass a course called economics where we had a semester long project where you picked a job you were considering for the future and then had to make a monthly budget based off of its average income. You were required to find a real place to live and an actual vehicle listing to determine your transportation and housing costs. You also had to budget for vehicle and home insurance if you didn't rent, groceries, entertainment, medical expenses, vehicle maintenance, and savings. The class also talked heavily about supply and demand and other basic concepts for how economies work. Good class, if more people understood some economic basics and how to make a budget I think our economy would be in better shape.
4 year degree, completed in 3. Masters completed in a STEM field "sort of." And I'm an electrician. I love the work. It's rewarding, and I dont have to deal with certain mental stressor. MIKE ROWE is the one celebrity I'll take a full on statement as truth with limited additional research.
Rehabilitation is way cheaper than prison btw... I'm a training psychologist and all the social workers really want to lower the cost of the prison industry by facilitating and improving rehabilitation process and vetting as, for now, the highest 'dumb cost' on the prison system is people improperly rehabilitating due to outdated laws blocked
****See Scandinavian prison model****
true I was going to argue what you did, plus the liberal system of handling prison is actually what leads to both the high cost of prison (due to it being paid by state on a "per man" basis) and the high repeat of crime (due to poor imprisonment condition leaving former detained with no move to earn their life outside of committing crimes), and guess what? no warden paid to have their man imprisonned would want to create a system where they are freed in advance or not coming back (would be good to implement a budget for achieved rehabilitation to the prison system, but that would cost a lot for sure...)
I've missed the Pravus rants. I agree with you on the Tech school's man. I am going to college for engineering since I got a great opportunity, but I did consider going to a tech college before that. Keep it up my dude!
Technical/trade/vocational schools should definitely be a much bigger focus in the US. Huge. Our education bubble has focused so many people on 4-year universities as the end-all be-all goal, when as you pointed out, tons of job roles and industries are seeing their workers age out with nowhere nearly enough qualified younger workers ready to take their place.
e.g. one of my friends is working towards certification as a land surveyor -- not the dudes in the field holding the sticks, but actually managing and updating county records, and checking measurements and valuations for accuracy. He's the one who puts the official stamp on the work, like a lawyer or doctor signing off on what an assistant has done. There are only a few hundred people in the county doing this work for a 6 million population. Last year 17 people retired, but only 4 new people applied for certification -- and only 1 passed the exam.
It's a crisis of old people in many fields -- and if new workers/students exiting high school or entering the workforce were informed about these opportunities AND THEIR HIGH-DEMAND, desperate salaries, we'd eventually see tiny upticks in new applicants. Earn $65k without going to college. For plumbers/electricians, train up to earning $70k to $100k in 5-10 years.
Or fight all the other medieval history majors out there for the 7 medieval studies positions that open up in academia every year... :P
In middel school we had the ability to choose one subject we wanted 2 hours a week and we had entrepurnurialship, buisness and management class as an option its was one of my favourite classes
22:44 Not if they’re constantly screaming at each other and fighting. The fighting will cause distress to the child, as well as perpetuate to the child that this is a healthy relationship. There by increasing the chances of them having a dysfunctional marriage when they’re older, thinking that it’s normal..
My friend had a similar "sit in front of a computer, building virtual models...of things I'll never get to touch" kind of job. He gave it up and became a middle school math teacher. His stress level has shot through the roof, but at least he feels like he is making an impact.
Extencive rehabilitation works really well in Norway, but then they do not have prisons owned by corporations, you come across as a bit narrowminded some times I am sorry to say.
Man! I can’t help my self to wait for you to upload! Love the vid Pravus!
I like how around 12:00 he says something along how he would like to see what happens when people don't learn calculus and learn business skills instead because I am an American and didn't learn Calculus but learned Business. Also, my school had a thing where you could take P.E. online and take online test limitless times so i just did the tests multiple times without learning certain material I won't ever need to do my preferred jobs.
Heck yeah, more Pravus Rambling (tm).
I 100% agree on all your points especially there are so many tech jobs in IT and engineering, physics, or even translations, design and very few go for it. Instead they compete for a few education or marketing and art jobs.
7:00 I like this rant +1
*Pravus discussing something that totally works like that in the real world* "Although it totally doesn't work that way in the real world."
18:30
I mean, there are real world examples of extensive rehabilitation being massively positive to the overall community. Sweden, Denmark, Finland and other such countries have very extensive, humane, rehabilitation facilities where individuals are treated as actual people.
These facilities have also been more effective than some heavy punishment prison.
Financial literacy is actually a required high school course in NJ. It doesn't really work though because they only have one semester to cover everything so you go through taxes, insurance, investing, etc. all in the span of a few months and usually don't remember much by the end.
6:30 student debt are some of the most ridiculous things I know happy that my country doesnt have them.
I’m in a trade school right now and that whole blue caller bs is so dumb I’m out here trying to make a living for my family so thank you for saying that 💪🏼
15:25 technocracy was the word you were thinking of, I believe.
Virtual models for things you will never get to touch ? What are you designing Pravus ? Private jets, luxury cars ?
Pravus, you have a tendancy to invest in tech before education , but when your tech is higher it make it harder to get rid of the "Skills Shortage" wich is a huge drain to your economy. My favorite way to get rid of it quickly is to max out "Adult education subsidies" who also improve productivity and "College grant". Once the "Skills Shortage" is gone you can just go crazy on tech and stack up the cash.
I'm in love with your brain my man...
As a chemist in pharma, I agree with Pravus, sometimes I wish I went to a year or two of tech college and was then a mechanic or something instead of spending three times as much time getting my bachelors and masters.
In Norway we are implementing rn what you talked about, when discussing young entrepreneur scheme, with finances... even coding into the normal subjects. I am sad i am just done with highschool.
I don't know if you know this, but rehabilitation is actually not teaching people not to be bad. Rehabilitation is helping people to not be dependent on crime, drugs, etc, to live but instead get normal jobs and lives and treat any psychological issues that may be present.
In my country Blue-Collar workers like Electricians, Plumbers, (tradesmen basically) EARN MORE than most people.
11:21 I have you, you have more, well... I have more. Like an AD campaign can be used in Marketing nicely.
Pravus, to build on your point of useless degrees, I was looking at potential degrees and I saw degrees for the amazing fields of photography history, belly dancing, and walking and jogging.
As someone who has been a Machinist (without a degree only reason I stopped limited my pay might get a degree in that one day), and is currently a press operator (yes all those bags of frozen food you buy is made shocking I know) I agree often looked down on but dam it pays bills quite well.
Taking economy classes in college , you learn calculus can be used in basically every single aspect of Economy and I wish I took it in high school😂
Exactly calculus is just the mathematical study of continuous change so of course it is important to a lot of sciences as many deal with continuous variables particularly things like physics and economics that do a lot of work studying and attempting to predict changes in variables over time.
Look, my country will finally get rid of its economic crisis!
Praise Pravus!
I can just skip to another video, but i want this guy have more money by me watching the ads
In Quebec we have nationalised technology colleges, so you can get a technician level of education super cheap (around 600 cad a year) and it lift off a huge chunk of the population out of poverty.
legueu tech colleges are a fantastic thing, the issue is that people look down on 'blue collar' jobs and would rather get a meaningless degree and a lifetime of debt, than get a trade (which in many cases you get paid for doing) and at the end of it a stable job.
Used well it's a fantastic way to raise equality and social mobility.
In the Canadian curriculum, you have to take at least 1 grade 11 math course to graduate. However, the only math 11 course that doesn't actually count towards that, is accounting 11 (or something along those lines). Now this does make a bit of sense considering to course is more for if you actually want to be an accountant, and they say you should only take it if that's what you want to do. Stuff like finances and budgeting are taught in HACE courses
Yeah, STEM field or bust with colleges. I’ve always wanted to be like an underwater welder or oil rig worker, not sure how too pursue that though.
14:56.
Capitalism: free-market for all, generally no subsidies or other govt intervention
Corporatism: giving corporations and businesses free shit
Free-market capitalists are typically called ‘pro-business’ when in fact all we want is to leave businesses alone.
I wish all schools were technology ones. I went to one and honestly was the best school in the area.
I also love mike row, you have gained a sub my good sir. Hey im also a canadian but i moved to the states cause i couldnt stand seeing canada crawl into dept and have my money wasted anymore.
My high school requires that we take an economics and personal finance course in order to graduate. It is like super helpful when you know nothing and realize how little you did know
Im happy my school offered "practical mathematics" versus calculus. I learned how to do my taxes instead of math I don't even know the practical use for.
An important thing to remember about celebrities and celebrity endorsements is celebrities are still people with political opinions they just have a platform. The bigger the platform the bigger the audience that is hearing you. I'd say most people want their opinion to be heard and want to educate their fans on things that they think are important.
Even you Pravus can be considered a celebrity with a political platform (e.i. This UA-cam channel). You play this game and upload it to inform your audience on politics and take time to inform them and talk about your views. Are you a politician? That doesn't matter, you should be able to express your views on politics either way.
Either way, great content. I like you going more in depth to talk about economics.
Actually. Several countries have adopted policies more akin to extensive rehabilitation and experience shows that it's both cheaper (since keeping people imprisoned is extremely expensive too) and it's better at preventing new crimes. While it's certainly true that not everyone is in favor of such a system, especially conservatives, it is a system that shown to be pretty much universially benefical.
Calculus is actually integral to finances and business to model growth
Grecce elects presidents for 5 years, parlament for 4 years, I'm guessing it's to ease transition between outgoing/incoming governments.
On your point about why people go to college/university rather than a technical college - there's many who are still stuck in the mentality that knowledge = higher paycheck. It's one of the reasons why the US moved from a highly industrious country to a more service orientated economy. The medical field probably being the exception, many move into law or finances to make the big bucks. The downside to this kind of directional thinking is that those who keep the country running by doing the practical jobs, end up getting looked down upon. Realise what will happen to your daily lives if blue collar workers stop showing up for work - because for some reason many of the practical jobs in the US get paid so little, some have to take up two jobs.
That said I'm planning on going to university (not in the US btw) because I can't exactly think of what I want to do, just which direction I wanna go in. And also because I have both the practical and financial means to do so.
The rant is back!
Also alcohol is quite carcinogenic, so odds are if you have one beer a week it wont be the liver thing that gets ya.
gosh, you're so loud. that grinds my gears a litle bit, you know? 4:28
Good thing is that in Germany College is for free. So no debts and you even get Grants from the state.
The thing with technology reducing religious membership makes sense, since there are people who believe in god not for the conviction that god is actually there, but for the comfort of having a superior beside you, who helps in your everyday life, with unemployment, abusive family, rejection, etc. But as technology becomes more common in that person's life, they are able to cope better with the difficulties, since they can, for instance, distract themselves with a TV or computer, talk to their friends and other people willing to help them from anywhere and other things, depending on the difficulties the person is facing. As the individual's life gets calmer, stable and better, added to the fact that they usually don't have the faith of a true believer, and technology gives something besides a god for you to attribute existential questions to, it can happen of them losing their belief, either through lost of interest or lost of faith.
It is also worth noting the important effect of free access to information reducing the effectiveness of the religious indoctrination of children. It's less effective once people have invested too deeply into incorporating the ideology into their identity but young children that are still learning about the world and forming their identities tend to be more curious and open to at least considering different ideas.
As a mathematician: keep your hands off of Calculus!
10:18 I know you're kidding, but alcohol is pretty terrible for your health. Moreso when you are young and your brain is still developing.
There were once studies that claimed that, for fully-developed adults, moderate drinking actually had some health benefits. That said, I recall seeing a more recent article refuting that claim, so for now the jury's out on whether or not the benefits outweigh the risks.
But doesnt our brain stops developing at age 25? So does that mean the drinking age should be raised to 25?
As a "fun" fact about the American drinking age-- the whole "brain development" thing is usually cited as the reason for the drinking age being set at 21, but it's actually because the federal government was trying to meet the wants of some Evangelical groups, and so they required the states to set the drinking age to 21 if they wanted money for interstate highways.
Sam Daley that is a fun fact. Though the brain development is a true factor. My country is far from evangelical and has recently increased the drinking age after decades of research proved it detrimental for adolescents.
Oh I'm definitely not denying the impact on brain development-- drinking is incredibly unhealthy. I myself don't drink. I was just pointing out that (as most things in politics), the welfare of the people wasn't actually the reason for the law.
Financial Management was a required course to graduate high school in hampton roads.
Sassy Pravus is great, yo.
I think technology colleges and technical schools are two different things, at least per the description. The description makes it sound like it focuses on high-tech industry training rather than classic trades that Mike Rowe and others advocate for, meaning it's fast-tracking people for six-figure salaries and white collar jobs that might prove to be an obstacle to those who've had fewer educational opportunities in life (poorer school districts and that kind of thing). However, I do agree with you in technical schools. I started a job working for the state at $12.70/hr that REQUIRED a bachelor's degree. You can learn a trade within a fraction of the time and start making almost twice that if you go into the right field and move to the right location. It's pretty screwed up how America is on this but hopefully it's changing or will change rapidly.
As you pay the national debt you pay less interest on it, additionally you pay less interest when you improve your credit rating, this is why your surplus is increasing.
They teach financial aid in my school and I’m in jr high and were not forced to take calculus
Ok Pravus, Solving Greece's Debt Crisis is one thing, but trying to get Greeks to drink less Wine?
You really are crazy.
Bruh I bet we whoulgo along amazingly well same political views same work field as you are (cad) man first UA-camrs I can like
I think alcohol awareness campaign should directly influence alcohol abuse.
In Greece you basically have to go full asset stripping
That only works if you're playing as Germany.
You can't be a complete free market capitalist without being ok with corporate lobbying, monopolies, and trusts. Those WILL develop in a completely free market environment.
7:00 Oi, I went to college for a communications degree, I was prepping for a career in the radio/TV production industry. Don’t bash on Comm mate :P
My school has a required financial literacy course. Not a lot of others do though
As for what you said about rehabilitation, that's just factually not true.
The system you have currently costs as much per prisoner as the way Norway handles their prisoners and they have 1/10 the relapse rate of the US.
Consider that people who are repeat offenders in the US keep draining money, while in Norway they reform them and make sure they have options when they get out so they won't relapse and fall back into prison.
Spending X money on a person once is more effective than spending ½X on a person 10 times.
7:20 Didn't like this guy at first because of my political beliefs but honestly, if he's going to build up blue collar work and encourage technical schools like that, I respect him and kinda like him. also love your videos dude
Though countries with high rehabilitation countries like Norway have very low crime rates.
Oh the trade union comment hurt me.
And yes I am binge watching this series just in case you wonder why I've commented like 7 times in a row.
4:20 I think the thing with celebrities taking political stances kinda just comes down to that they're private citizens, but we choose to give them the spotlight to express their view to a wide audience. They (usually) earned their status through their own merit, so they should be allowed to use that status to be active politically
But that's not my only reason for supporting them. I just think as long as you aren't harming anyone, you should be able to express your opinion, regardless of the status society gives you
Mike Rowe has a degree in communications. Not disagreeing with you about the overemphasis on a 4 year degree but I couldn't pass up the chance to point out the irony.
Practical School is actually more useful. But the system still favors the unreal combination of high degrees and a hefty amount of practical experience, the moment you got out of college. Like be more specific please, employers.
11:50 fun fact in my high school if you want to graduate you have to take a class called personal finance
A lot of schools offer finance or a money management class in high school
Honestly a easy way could always just be riding on the Germans back and having them do the work
Mr. Boopitybopityman what work? Sticking Mercedes badges on a Nissan? Defective locks on BMWs? Siemens bribery scandal?
5:46 well as you pay of debt your interest ticks down. (i know im a bit late)
I'm years late BUT 8:51 with the whole alcohol thing, we owe about 4k on the Bill's over a year of my mother not paying them. Why? Every dime we had went to alcohol. We rarely had money for even groceries, it's bad. How they buy it without money? They don't pay the Bill's, get only nessecary groceries, as in like, a week of food for 3 people. Not big meals, small meals worth. Also, almost all luxuries other then alcohol are gone. I know from what my mom did before she passed due to her alcoholism, that's how they do it and it's really upsetting to see, ESPECIALLY if they have family they leave burdens onto from it.
That, that is how they get it. And it is extremely unfortunate.
It is extremely upsetting, and I can only hope people having that sort of situation only get better from now, as it is super hard to go through.
I went to a Community college for a degree in fire technology I make 6 figures a year as firemen. A very hard working job but I have zero regrets. Costed me 6 k which I made back my first two months
You really sould change the your pose in ur thumbnails. It's such a 1940's style pose (Ï'll hold my chin and look thoughtful - lame). Get with the 21st century. As for your content, it's great. Love it. :)
About the prisons. Man I get your point. I do think tho, that the bias to rehabilitation prisons is an american thing honestly. We do have people like that in europe, but you should look at the statistics. Crime rates in germany are waaaay lower, but probably statisticly more importantly, people who get to prison are way less likely to commit crimes again here, than they are in the US. There's an amazing Ted Talks video about that topic, I highly suggest you take a look at that. It's really interesting and my opinion is, that bias and media propaganda (and I'm not talking about lies or fake news, talking about selective information, which both parties use like a lot. Especially, as far as I can perceive it, Fox news and stuff like that. Talking bout lobby based news, availability of more unbiased news or at least awareness of really biased news.) is a big problem in the US and leads to a lot of missinformation, which is probably where the whole americans-are-dumb prejudice is partly coming from.
Most people I know don't go to Greece for the history.
If you didn't go to college you would be a Rust Cultist *dabs*
