@@JacobJonesy I agree, but taxing labor at much higher rates than capital while capital is taking a greater share of productivity growth, is stunting human potential.

You are right - I hate being able to drive anywhere I want, whenever i want. It's too much freedom and folks like you absolutely hate freedom and independence.
They cancelled the mass transit project in Austin, TX during the '08 recession. That's a place that could use less traffic. It also takes years though to build everything.
Cars don't represent freedom in anything but theory. In practice, cars tie people down to maintenance, gas, insurance, and loan payments. Not to mention how long the average American spends in traffic each year. If having to spend over a thousand dollars a month just to be stuck in traffic most of the time appeals to you, you're a lost cause.
Odd how all these poor people are driving brand new SUV and have the latest iPhone.... I’m not disputing that millions of Americans through no fault of their own have been thrown out of work due to the lock downs and the covid virus. However there is a case to be made that part of the problem is the general financial illiteracy of the American population who haven’t a clue on how to save and stop buying absolutely everything on credit. Sorry but poverty cant be blamed exclusively on the “system” there is a component of individual responsibility here also.
The current covid19 crisis demonstrates what is wrong with how the world feeds itself! Seeing spoiled dairy products, rotten vegetables and needlessly culled animals across the world should force all of us to rethink our “efficient” food supplies and try to create a system that is better able to withstand a crisis. We need to refocus on local and regional food systems. This doesn’t mean cutting off all trade, but it does mean building diversity, decent livelihoods for workers and opportunities for small and medium-scale companies/farmers to flourish. The goal is to create shorter, more sustainable food supply chains that are closer to our home.
Globalisation issues. those guys have had a lot of time now to revert to regional food packaging and small scale users. why has it not happened? Anyyway, even if we do get draughts here and there is starvation, it is for lack of food and rain not because someone cant pack it for use. seeing this is so wrong on so manu levels.
No. It shows how greedy those at the top are and how unwilling our government is to help the people. There is no shortage of food, there is a shortage of wealth.
@@SeekingFreedom369 I agree but the op also has a point. It's a win win for us peons to cut the greedy out of the loop. The rich are dead weight. Let THEM eat cake. Cuz you know they have ZERO actual skills
Animals are not ours to experiment on, eat, wear, use for entertainment, or abuse in any other way. Not only is it cruel, but its also incredibly unhealthy for humans to eat animal products. You would be better off to adopt a plant based diet for best health
So if you had have been rich and successful you wouldn’t mind anyone robbing you and giving it to the poor ! It doesn’t work that way not all of us can be that successful and rich or have that mind set , even the well of actors are out of work ,successful businesses are closing down we are all in for a terrible seven years to come financially!, sad
What this pandemic has shown me is that I have to think differently and make changes in my life by becoming more self sufficient by returning to how my ancestors lived. So I started learning how to garden my goal is to get to a place where I don’t have to totally depend on grocery stores. The pandemic has shown me how fragile the system really is and how society has become complacent. It is a human right to have food,shelter, water and health care this capitalist system and society is not working and it never has. So society has to start trying to think differently and trying to find solutions to these problems and making these changes so no one has to suffer.
I am an immigrant. I work in the US for 30K dollars a year. It's drastic difference compared to Russian Federation. I am not food insecure, I can save for retirement, I got driver's license and bought a car and almost graduated from 2-year college. My dad retired here on social security pension 1400 dollars per month. He could have retired to 250 dollars per month if he stayed in Russia.
@@hayaglamazonluxe I am comparing my income in the US to my income in Russian Federation. Life in the US is fun and easy. If I need a book or computer laptop or desktop or photo-camera I can purchase them right now. And Amazon will deliver them right to the door of the place where I live. If I need a car to learn to drive I can save up an buy it. And of cause I have banking account where I keep my emergency fund and savings. I top of that have Roth IRA and Brokerage account. I completed 2/3 of program of 2-year college and someday I will have other job.
In the US there is always enough food for those who have the money to buy it. For those who have been spendthrifts before the pandemic and in the habit of spending all of every paycheck and making credit card charges to live high and beyond their means, sudden job loss means no savings and no way to buy food or pay monthly bills. Those who have a long pattern of frugal living below their means, of building savings, avoiding debt and owning outright their small home and a practical small vehicle, now find months of job loss an inconvenience but this does not prevent them from feeding their families or being able to stay in their home or pay their utility bills. Those who are unprepared financially are the ones who suffer the most during economic hard times. And a lot of spendthrifts do not even recognize that they are managing their finances poorly until they lose their source of income and have no savings to fall back upon.
How do we reconcile these reports of rampant unemployment and food insecurity and the need for more stimulus with the reports of record-setting holiday spending and issues with shipping backlogs of internet orders?
I actually find using toilet paper is disgusting. Thats why I always use soap and water to keep my ass clean all the time. For those who have not tried yet, No your farts dont get to smell any better but thats not the point.
We need to stop the food waste. I started buying ugly misshapen produce for a discount because it's not pretty enough to go on a shelf. Still tastes the same.
What about those farms that lost money and destroyed their crops instead of helping to feed Americans. I understand why they did it, but why didn't the government stop in to give this food to help?
I think that is one of the most disgusting things I saw during the pandemic that made me incredibly angry. Shelves are empty and they dumped food? It is almost as disgusting as farmers letting unperfect fruits and veggies rot in the field. WHY?!?!!? There is no reason. Who cares if the carrot is bent? Who cares if a pumpkin is misshapen? It's so dumb.
People need to think twice now about saving. It shouldn't take a pandemic for People to realize that saving some emergency fund isn't all that bad after all.
People in my opinion go out too much to eat or order in. People also want to go to the most expensive grocery story such as Whole foods or Wegmans. Give me a break.
Plant a garden. And it was not us farms that just dumped our milk. The company's that turn our milk into cheese . Butter, ect. Told us to either cut our production back by at least 20% an in some cases by as much as 50%, also some farms had to do both cut back an dump the milk. And we also had beef to sale, but no markets to send them to.

When I couldn’t find canned foods, eggs, milk, fruit, water, the church and the food pantry bank helped us. Just to get us by till the grocery stores began filling their shelves. I believe it will get worse.
The situation is that food production became centralized... which means fewer farmers produce more food... And those people will one day have enough! Like feeding everybody for lousy fiat money... Imagine hyperinflation that would make food production meaningless financially... Hope we don't go there!
I was born and raised in America. We got tired of the high cost and fascist government there. Moved to Philippines in January 2019, life is much easier now. Except we got fat from abundance of unhealthy foods and ease of life here. America will literally shake the last penny from your pockets, people are so used to it there they don't even realize it's so overpriced to live.
people are starving for food,, right hear in America, shortage of food is serious, because we're the one giving money to poor country, now we need food, open up your eyes and you will see, that thousands are hungry and homeless. and it's going to get worse, and you can take that to the bank.
@@KasirRham i happen to live on a farm and I am familiar with gardening. With the technology that is available to everyonev today vegetables can Be grown year round indoors. I do have empathy for the people who don't know what to do.
Richest country should be counted as... dollar per person in the country... not the amount of money in the country... US is ultra poor if you look at dollar per person.
Unfortunately, big corporations like Monsanto are the reason there are not very many small farmers. The lawsuits they bring if a "patented" seed ends up in someone else's field destroys small farmers. It is disgusting.
Why the USA considered to be the richest country in the world? People don’t have saving and have to take loans and get mortgages ... A huge amount of its population works for $7-12 per hour🤨
If you have been or are homeless you will be strong through all of this as many people who are use to going without the current situation won't affect them as it will others 🤔
I know what will feed starving Americans, corporate tax elimination and abolishing minimal wage! That sure will allow desperate starving Americans getting well paid jobs And when we are at it, how about giving up on human rights, we can't afford keeping up with it
It's clear that we cannot "give away" enough food to solve this problem. Some out-of-the-box action thinking is required. Something needs to be spearheaded at the national level to educate consumers on the need to manage their resources wisely when it comes to food. When those commodities boxes go out I've heard some people complain that they either don't like many of the items or they have no idea what to do with some of the bounty. We have a couple of generations that missed home economics education in high school due to the budget cuts of the past several decades. People have become complacent over the perceived abundance of manufactured convenience foods without realizing that they probably never could afford them in the first place. The purchase of manufactured faux foods is money down the drain. It's really ok to plan menus around thrifty meals made from staple foods, just like great grandma used to do. I know we can eat well in America on a $1 a day per person, as long as one has a kitchen and isn't living in a food desert with no transportation. Some can do this as a choice while some may have to do this to survive. If you don't know how to cook, you'd better learn!
A funny phenomenon: you see those people who claim they are too poor to secure food, most of them are obese. Are they really hungry to need food for survival, or they used to indulge with food that make themselves have monstrous appetite?
What’s large people got to do with slim people. We are here talking about the Global ELITES forcibly starving people as part as the new world order/ reduction in people & their happiness
The USA is ridden with hidden fees in even food. But it isn’t just how much we eat but the quality our food is missing. I lost 10kg by moving to Spain and not changing what I ate. I’m now living in Japan and I eat just as much food but lost 15kg and spend less because their is far less processed. But skipping a meal in intermittent fasting. I always forget how big my nation is till I visit. Especially comparing to east Asia

They just lost their jobs because of shutdown because of Covid 19. SO they already had nice cars because they had a job to get the car . SO now since they have no money or ran out of savings they have to go to the food bank. Plus cant wait in line remember COVID 19 this whole thing ruins people lives .

And in the report they are arriving in suv's which drink fuel as if its nothing
@@wilfredprins9718 then how can they get to another job? Or get to an interview to find another job? You seem to be blaming the victim here. I see the disparity, but it may also be a borrowed vehicle, so they can go to get food. Things happen beyond a person's control sometimes!

ive heard that people have to work below min wage to earn thier food stamps? The states are profiting from slave low wage workers?
Also those in college or with any college degree are automatically ineligible for food stamps. I know because I tried and I only have an Associate's degree, but that doesn't get you a decent job. Still making below the poverty line. And yes none of the businesses here pay taxes for 10 years.
fetching food while driving a car?
I noticed this too.
A car is shelter. And if paid off is cheaper than renting housing. Come on now
Yes crazy america
yes your car is your. new house. and if you have no car no one will hire you in some towns for real.
Because they want to keep distance and reduce covid
There needs to be more spaces that offer land to help people learn to be self sufficient communities with gardens.
Every empty lot, or abandoned houses, etc. should be planted
Only in Amerika you can have a drive through farmers market 😂🚗
And it's still disgusting compare to European fruit and vegetables
IKR, maybe drones need to drop people food.
....in the middle of a pandemic where people are dying from Covid-19? YEAH! Wow....what an unintelligent comment!
ummm what is she talking about 8 months....some of us on the west coast have been locked up since Feb 2020...
Video well done. I hope this situation improves soon.
"richest country in the world" 🤣 You almost got me there.
I am an immigrant. I work in the US for 30K dollars a year. It's drastic difference compared to Russian Federation. I am not food insecure, I can save for retirement, I got driver's license and bought a car and almost graduated from 2-year college. My dad retired here on social security pension 1400 dollars per month. He could have retired to 250 dollars per month if he stayed in Russia.

@@rlukinn welcome to America friend! I wish more people were as grateful as you to be here.

2022 and things have only gotten worse for everyone I know. Including myself.
When I couldn’t find canned foods, eggs, milk, fruit, water, the church and the food pantry bank helped us. Just to get us by till the grocery stores began filling their shelves. I believe it will get worse.
The situation is that food production became centralized... which means fewer farmers produce more food... And those people will one day have enough! Like feeding everybody for lousy fiat money...
Imagine hyperinflation that would make food production meaningless financially... Hope we don't go there!
I was born and raised in America. We got tired of the high cost and fascist government there. Moved to Philippines in January 2019, life is much easier now. Except we got fat from abundance of unhealthy foods and ease of life here. America will literally shake the last penny from your pockets, people are so used to it there they don't even realize it's so overpriced to live.
True & thanks for sharing
Philippines has a very low obesity rate. If you got fat over there, that's your fault and not the "abundance of unhealthy foods".
people are starving for food,, right hear in America, shortage of food is serious, because we're the one giving money to poor country, now we need food, open up your eyes and you will see, that thousands are hungry and homeless. and it's going to get worse, and you can take that to the bank.
You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet - It's going to get worse - much worse over the next few years.
Right! We have ahead at least 3 years of hunger and collapse. 😰
'Murica, when you're in line for food with a brand new car.
I can see that you are Dutch me 2. Be glad to live here
I don't like the term "New Normal".
Music was not necessary
The U.S. abandoned it's least rich people and condemned them to death.
Our poor are dying of obesity.
@@scottowensbyable yes they are. Food swamps are cheaper than whole foods.
@@KasirRham i happen to live on a farm and I am familiar with gardening. With the technology that is available to everyonev today vegetables can
Be grown year round indoors. I do have empathy for the people who don't know what to do.
Americans are losing weight, doesn't seem like a big issue yet !
The US is a wealthy country. It needs to re organise the supply chains.
Wish them luck.
Richest country should be counted as... dollar per person in the country... not the amount of money in the country... US is ultra poor if you look at dollar per person.
The stimulus needs money to feed the hungry not to send to Egypt
Because they need there baby to be safe 'israel'.
bring back small farms. Consolidation is a killer. did we learn nothing from the Irish famine.
Unfortunately, big corporations like Monsanto are the reason there are not very many small farmers. The lawsuits they bring if a "patented" seed ends up in someone else's field destroys small farmers. It is disgusting.
Idea: Non-perishables were hoarded in March. Food drive?
“We take MREs”
Global? No.. This is primarily in USA. Not a problem in Europe.
America wants to portray that they are not the worst hit. But lets face it Americans are like those of third world citizens in handling the pandemic.
Damn people still living in Europe in the 21 century
@@rusitoexplorador more than double the population in europe compared to us, people still living in the us in the 21 century?
True I am Dutch and no problems here
The fact that you register so called monetary wealth with being rich is where you lose the plot
HEY.. HEREs a crazy idea... LET the farmers sell directly to the customer...
@Clarice. so you rather they just kill off all the extra food and let it rot rather then sell it off to locals?
same... a normal city.
Why the USA considered to be the richest country in the world?
People don’t have saving and have to take loans and get mortgages ...
A huge amount of its population works for $7-12 per hour🤨
Huge income inequality, the wealth is owned by a very small percentage of people.
Do you realize half the world earns only 5 dollars a day? If you're American you're wealthier than 90% of every human that's ever lived.
richest PRINTING MACHINE in the world
If you have been or are homeless you will be strong through all of this as many people who are use to going without the current situation won't affect them as it will others 🤔
I know what will feed starving Americans, corporate tax elimination and abolishing minimal wage!
That sure will allow desperate starving Americans getting well paid jobs
And when we are at it, how about giving up on human rights, we can't afford keeping up with it
Still waiting since Reagan for that wealth to actually trickle down.
It's clear that we cannot "give away" enough food to solve this problem. Some out-of-the-box action thinking is required. Something needs to be spearheaded at the national level to educate consumers on the need to manage their resources wisely when it comes to food. When those commodities boxes go out I've heard some people complain that they either don't like many of the items or they have no idea what to do with some of the bounty. We have a couple of generations that missed home economics education in high school due to the budget cuts of the past several decades.
People have become complacent over the perceived abundance of manufactured convenience foods without realizing that they probably never could afford them in the first place. The purchase of manufactured faux foods is money down the drain. It's really ok to plan menus around thrifty meals made from staple foods, just like great grandma used to do. I know we can eat well in America on a $1 a day per person, as long as one has a kitchen and isn't living in a food desert with no transportation. Some can do this as a choice while some may have to do this to survive. If you don't know how to cook, you'd better learn!
7:05 soda bottle rolling then blue shirt man running and then.... I mean, why?
It was a gatorade....not a soda.
America a donation instead of a nation.
THE USA CAN NEVER GO HUNGRY WITH ALL THE WASTE too much supply release the supplies.
It's accessing the food before it goes to waste...that's difficult.
A funny phenomenon: you see those people who claim they are too poor to secure food, most of them are obese. Are they really hungry to need food for survival, or they used to indulge with food that make themselves have monstrous appetite?
They also need to learn to cook for themselves. It is going to be impossible to get that fat when you can't order take out!
We got boxes of Hamburger Helper from the food pantry, you don't pick, they just hand you a box of shelf stable stuff.
The average american weighs a ton and needs lots of food. I am a asian living in Singapore and i just ate a meal that is less than a dollar.
I didn't realize that a dollar was a caloric measurement.
What’s large people got to do with slim people. We are here talking about the Global ELITES forcibly starving people as part as the new world order/ reduction in people & their happiness
The USA is ridden with hidden fees in even food. But it isn’t just how much we eat but the quality our food is missing. I lost 10kg by moving to Spain and not changing what I ate. I’m now living in Japan and I eat just as much food but lost 15kg and spend less because their is far less processed.
But skipping a meal in intermittent fasting. I always forget how big my nation is till I visit. Especially comparing to east Asia
The Singapore dollar or the US dollar?
What did you eat?
These companies & corporations need to hire more people instead of trying to produce more production with less labor!!
They're replacing workers with robots and automation because machine don't call out sick or demand benefits.
I had to turn this off because of one woman screaming every time she spoke. Everyone else around her spoke in a normal tone. You need to do something about the technical problems in your show.
I guess that the future of hunger in America...... just LOOKS GREAT!!
RICHEST COUNTRY, 🤔😳🙄
Says a lot about the US that this happen
We are the richest country in the world but the wealth is concentrated. This country was built on individualism and you either make it or don’t. This is not a social democracy.
They drive in big shiny SUV to a foodbank???
Something wrong there
They just lost their jobs because of shutdown because of Covid 19. SO they already had nice cars because they had a job to get the car .
SO now since they have no money or ran out of savings they have to go to the food bank. Plus cant wait in line remember COVID 19 this whole thing ruins people lives .
@@avrilcode9945 sell the car to buy food
They have to pay petrol for those 2mpg suv's which it seems they still can.
I dont say that im not sad they lost their jobs, its the American way how businesses work in the US unfortunately.
But their are people a lot poorer who can't even afford a small car. And in the report they are arriving in suv's which drink fuel as if its nothing
Can’t eat your car.
@@wilfredprins9718 then how can they get to another job? Or get to an interview to find another job? You seem to be blaming the victim here. I see the disparity, but it may also be a borrowed vehicle, so they can go to get food. Things happen beyond a person's control sometimes!
@@Lisawhatshersname andcwhen things happen beyond your control sacrifices need to be made.
There are people who have no money for food and not have a car to go to a foodbank, especially no shiny SUV's.
A shiny SUV is not feeding you and a job interview you can do in a small car also or by public transport
Why is the government not promoting home hardens?
Maybe the author of Hunger Games was trying to tell us something.
We help each other. People got lay off. Business are closing.
People lost job, Food shortage will be next!
Looks strange seeing people turning up in cars, using fuel when they could be buying "fuel" for themselves.
Robotics and and land dedicated to the production of agriculture’s for the public during a crisis would make a significant difference.

Beans and rice 🤗
Nothing personal all business. The rich and churches bank on the poor. We are business to them, that makes them a lot of 00000. Homelessness is business
What happened to richest country in the world? 🤔
You could be the most perfect utopia in the damn galaxy. People are still gonna starve.
so food stores can get tax write offs to give hungry people thier expired and racid food .
isnt america a great country. a what would i love to live in a country like that. a country that doesnt give 2 shits about their own citizens. sounds like a dream to me lol. what a joke of a nation literally
When I share your videos on Facebook, Facebook takes them down
Jeremy same here . What are they trying to hide ?
@@rosaliamartinez8956 I wonder if FB is just trying to keep all politics out? They don't host up any of my youtube shares from PBS, MSNBC, ABC, NTD, VOX, etc. Could this be the reason for the anti-trust? Maybe they just want their content to really be focused on family photos?
@@jermsbestfriend9296 That is my thought also.
Why not bring in extra butter and share with others?
Or can it 🤣
Sharing will save the world.
