Tourist Shocked By Pandemic Fear In San Francisco 🇺🇸

- I had a spontaneous run-in with a tourist visiting San Francisco. It's interesting to listen to an outsider's perspective of the city, especially in these odd pandemic times. More Below ↓

I haven't been watching the news and I'm sleeping so much better.
Ignorance is bliss
I stopped watching it 3 years ago after realizing it's 100% fear porn propaganda.
What she said about not watching the news... that was us several years ago as it became clear it's a steam rolled herd directing. Has anyone watched Dune? The new one was released December 2020. "Fear is the mind killer. "
News can easily be substituted by something else. The core issue is people being lemmings not looking around, noticing people, having friendships, and growing as humans. When we're doing that not only are we thinking more clearly, we're more grounded, and when people come along expecting to just be followed, they get to meet those who have taken ownership of themselves. That is real freedom - being responsible for yourself, what you think, your EQ, your ability to think outside of the tide in a situation, noticing when there's social engineering and manipulation at work. It leads to happiness because you're relating to people while not getting sucked into everyone's negativity and drama while still capable of empathy - more capable of empathy actually both for yourself abs for others.
@@zlauriault sucks that they moved DUNE to release this year instead of last year.
@@Juggernogger64 Well that explains why we didn't find it I'm theater listings. Duh. Thanks for the info. We like the original Dune. Looking forward to seeing the new one.
Your vlogs are raw and inspirational. Dont ever lose this. The lady's advice is on point. We need to wake up.
This never showed up in my subscription feed nor did I get a notification. Just wanted to let you know!
Generalizing any city in this way is always going to be a lie. Each person has their own experience. If she’s in neighborhoods that are fear mongering, she’s seeing a limited slice of the city. That has been the farthest thing from my experience. Everyone is friendly and says hello and people are very happy to go on walks, hikes, bikes and do all the things that make San Francisco literal Heaven on Earth. She holds a lot of judgment for a “spiritual worker.”
A lot of frightened people find comfort in demonizing other people and places. I see a lot of fear and insecurity in her need to demonize my city. Using the word "rage" in particular is nonsense. I've lived in rural America and LA/Chicago equal years. There is good and bad in our cities and rural communities.
Bay area resident here... I haven't watched the news or television for about 20 years. When I want to know the weather, I step outside 🤪 And I strike up conversations with everyone, literally everyone that crosses my path regardless of covid. Im open and friendly, which is why I'm perceived as an irregular here but I don't care what they think, I keep being ME regardless. The problem we've had here in the Bay for years is that we have a vast amount of clicky intellectuals who can't rub 2 common sense brain cells together, they hold no wisdom and worship material and unfortunately they're the ruling class.
I adore this sort of conversation with a random / specific person when traveling ///
Two strangers sharing for a few minutes ...
Would have been better if it wasnt a nutjob "media is bad" conspiracist spreading nonsense
Yes and he said it's the best chat he'd had in some time.
Its the little things
Lay off the romantic comedies dude
@@BllueJeeper I don't watch crap american movies but yea , I do at times see the world this way ....
Social media is also propaganda. Like Facebook, twitter especially.
People sharing propaganda
Exactly! Wish more people came to that realization.
Exactly! That's the problem. Some people tend to have double standard when it comes to propaganda. In this case, it's thinking a country's news (Chinese news channel) has government propaganda. I'm sure other countries have government news propaganda, including the United States. What about the rumours spread online on articles and social media, such as Facebook and media too? They could be propaganda as well since many people believe them. Yes, there are lots of rumours about COVID-19 cases and other information here in Malaysia on social media, and we tend to rely on government statistics and formal news channels (such as TV3) since they tend to be more accurate and more reliable - unlike the social media that causes widespread panic and chaos. People don't tend to question them and they don't double check the information sources. They totally believe the information they receive and they accept it as if it comes from their holy scripture. It's a one-sided way of looking at things and that leads to bias.
Even Google
Type 'define fascism' and you'll see the snippet from the Wikipedia "definition" placed Above the dictionary definition.
Wiki "definition": "a form of far-right, authoritarian ultranationalism characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition and strong regimentation of society and of the economy which came to prominence in early 20th-century Europe."
Dictionary definition which is much better, kind of:
"a governmental system led by a dictator having complete power, forcibly suppressing opposition and criticism, regimenting all industry, commerce..."
(At the end they add that it's usually done by nationalism and racism)
Yes agree
What up Gangsta
San Francisco is real life zombie apocalypse lol
Glad I moved out in 2018. Much happier outside of that vitriolic place. The city and weather is beautiful, but the people there however for the most part ARE NOT

Not to mention what Peter covers in this video! Canada seems like shangra la compared to us right now amirite
I just moved to Fort Myers Florida and in my community everyone says hi when they pass by in a car or walking
Her comments on not watching the news were also interesting. It seems like people get offended if you even question the mainstream media outlets. Like people take 100% of what the news media says as gospel. “How dare you question the news!”
English speaking world is fkd up... Our media and politicians are doing nothing but fear mongering. You won't see much fuss in countries like France and Germany like its in our countries
agreed. I've had people legit ask me "do you not trust the media or something?" and my response is are you joking, of course I don't trust the mainstream media.. and they take offense!
@@beautifullybalancedyoga4651 It’s crazy. I’ve quit watching the mainstream media altogether and I am less stressed because of it. I wish more people did the same.
@@ChrisXMetal same here! also deleted some social media off my phone... it's a breath of fresh air!
@@beautifullybalancedyoga4651 There’s nothing wrong with that. I’ve also done the same. It helps keep the sanity.

@Alien West exactly!! There is NO WAY you can die if you talk to someone with no mask.
Strangely, I am 100% agreed with this, I have sence this fear since I move in Bay area. People don't talk to each other, don't greet each other anymore. it is kind of living constantly under depression. You can find this depression in all bay area not only San Francisco City. Sad but true! I tried make change, I always smile when I go out for walk, always greet stranger with smile even though they don't response. I guess worth of try!!
I feel this as well. I live in San Jose and it’s exactly the same . I’m only 16 and I’m realising all this with people when I go out.

I'm a 4th generation San Franciscan - we knew everyone on our block. Over the past few years it's lost its soul, character, and community. Never thought I'd say this but can't wait to get out.
Are there a lot of Trumpers and Q people there now?
@@Elcherino123 No. But there are a lot of Los Angeles and Florida transplants who are trying to turn it into LA: Part 2. Not to mention the fact that all of the regular families who have been here for generations are now being forced to leave due to the cost of living having been offset by the trust fund babies (of the 80's tech boom people) being let loose upon the city, destroying its culture in favor of having their venti-sized Starbucks latte and Uber ride to their favourite lounge where they go and complain about how tough it is living in a city where their $4,000/month apartment is paid for by the start-up company their daddy put the down-payment on to ensure said kid had a steady income.
@Poppeye Arms No. It's lost its soul - completely.
Same in nyc since 2013 it died
@@nesq4104 That's sad. I was last there in 2010. I loved it. But I am not surprised to hear it's changed for the worst. Based on the culture presented by Buzzfeed, it looks it.
San Francisco went down long time before pandemic started due to corrupted city management...
@@marcopolo1134 Pelosi and Breed must go to retire in Florida together with Trump.
@@passerbyp8531 Pelosi can go to NYC and be treated like a slab of meat between de Blasio, Cuomo and Schumer
My observation is that the most miserable during the pandemic are those who believe we can completely control nature. We can't. Science can certainly stack the odds in our favor but we must accept with humility that there is only so much we can do and try not to fret so much. (That may be why Peter found the Hasidic community, who believe G-d decides outcomes, so refreshingly unoppressive)
@@howardmoher9981 How do you control nature if you can’t control Russia with Putin regime and Trump as puppet?

@@plotus5885 That already happened lol.
The entire state has really (even though there are areas not destroyed like the Urban Areas).
Anybody that is overly critical of the western world should go live in the eastern world. I have now lived in both for over 12 years and I can tell you that the way forward is to take the best parts of both and merge them.
All the people worldwide who are not dependent on watching mainstream news all the time should come together and build their own country!
We relay on UA-cam, Netflix and Social Media
While I'm not surprised or upset by this perspective, and i agree with her take on the media, a nice companion piece would be talking to someone who's been severally impacted like people in the healthcare system.
It's really easy to ignore the effects of the disease if you're galivanting around, but some people have been hit very hard by this disease. I agree we've mismanaged this whole thing, but the perspective of "Everyones been overreacting" is an ignorant perspective.
400,000+ people have died of Covid in the US. Being concerned and taking steps to protect your community and country is not “over reacting”.
Usually, I really like Peter’s content.
@@lexig3452 it’s truly a privilege to act like it’s not a big deal. I get there has been overreactions and mismanagement. But writing it off is just disrespectful to both business who have struggled and people who have struggled
Coronavirus targeted the old and the sick. Allowing the young and healthy to fear for their lives was *indeed* a drastic overreaction. Running off of sidewalks and jumping into bushes, hiding behind trash cans, etc just to avoid passing someone outside was a fucking overreaction. A lot of you people have absolutely lost it.
San Francisco in the 60s 70s 80s 90s was the best then evil google arrived
By the 80's, if you were leftist wealthy, if not, not so much.
True. Although I blame Twitter and the sweetheart deal Ed Lee gave them for their Twitter building! Google buses bad too!!!
The 90s was the start of the decline with the arrival of big tech.
70s wasn't too bad in SF. Tucson was really lovely back then, too.

This woman is highly emotionally intelligent and has good critical thinking skills.

Like 60-70 % of small businesses are going to fail because of the government and not from there own mismanagement, do you think that's fair, for a virus with a mortality rate of 0.04%? Right now we are in an economic time worse then the Great Depression, it may take us 10-30 years to get back to normal, here's on last fun fact and 20-25 million Americans will probably lose there homes because of this, and probably aquire a lifetimes worth of debt (10000$ and up), 10% of the people entering poverty will probably die which is more people then has covid kill
I love this girl. Very smart and not brainwashed by the media and society.
She's stupid. I just got back from visiting Mexico, and the funeral homes are overrun by deaths.
@@secretysecret1551 Because there's more testing and of course there going to separate the positive covid test corpse causing a overpopulation in funerals because now they have to follow this messy disorganized covid policies.. I believe this virus was here a long time ago but people lived normal lifes...I bet how many people years ago we view at funerals with covid and we lived normal lifes ...this is more psychological and it's going to cause hunger and impact horribly the economy , society in general. And that's my opinion.
@@heribertort55 I appreciate the opinion, but I disagree. New variants of viruses happen all the time, this one is deadlier than most. I work in an industry where I'm in contact with many people in many other corporations. Last year, there was one death of a colleague that was likely covid related. And now, almost 8 months later, I know 4 people that have died of covid. Small towns in Mexico are being ravaged by Covid because people are ignoring lockdowns. Its just ridiculous that simply wearing a mask and maintain crowd control has become political.
@@ac7776 Yes definitely. But because she fakes spirituality shes more human? How stupid.
@Heidi Salas Feb
Wow she’s so right. In fact I’ve been avoiding the news too. I do watch the news briefly and then I walk away. It’s propoganda like she says. It’s not going to make you happier. It will make you feel anxious and sad. We know what’s going on in the world. It’s sad and bad but I don’t need to hear about new variances of the virus every day etc etc.
But yeah everything she said makes so much sense. Very interesting. Thanks.
I love her message. It sucks the news messed everyone up, but I bet they were happy with the ratings.
We were living in small town Wisconsin when the pandemic happened, and I gotta tell ya, it was lovely. You were allowed to live as you saw fit, but masking up was becoming a complaint. People who chose to stay home were allowed to become paranoid, but people who longed for community were still enjoying grocery shopping and meeting up. Our police would not waste time running around to say you can’t visit your parents, or stop someone who’s not masked, heck, we were allowed to have church services.
Sure, not everyone takes care of their health, but we should be trusted to take care of ourselves.
Dude, I have been living in Brazil for the last 2+ years with my husband while we wait for his green card and I recently found your videos and they have brought me such peace of mind. When I come back to the states to visit I no longer feel like I identify with American culture. I never realized the extent of our materialism, gluttony and obsession with things that DO NOT MATTER. Kirby is over the target, the level of programming is profound. Nothing makes you understand how amazing it truly is to be American until you experience what life is like in another country. There are people who live in houses made from garbage that literally don't even have a toilet to shit in or a shower to clean themselves and Americans are like, "I need to make a Whole Foods order, I hope they're not out of my vanilla cashew milk and dairy-free ice cream this time". After my husband's deportation we lost everything, we were just getting by paying the bills here in Brazil. For over a year we didn't have a toilet seat at our house because, unlike America, the seat is considered a luxury. We always needed to spend the money elsewhere, like on food, so I just sucked it up. Maybe some time spent in a developing country would give people more gratitude for what they have been blessed with.
👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾
Idiot had never heard of homeless in US!
Only thing what is a concern is starvation and warmth imo. I used to think of the issue what you said, real side of it there just comforts, Just imagine millionaires feeling sorry for middle class people due to them having better comforts and we dont have em.
As a farmer, i do my buisness outside every day anyways :) but a toilet is a luxury!
I'm confused. You do or you do not appreciate America now after these experiences you describe? Living in dire poverty in Brazil doesn't sound super appealing.
Thank you Kirby for being the voice of reason! I feel the same way and I've been laughed at since the onset of this craziness last year.
She can't understand the fear and rage? Gee, maybe people who have lost their jobs due to covid, while landlords continue to demand astronomical rents, while the techies continue to work from home, and their only incovinience is that they have to order food delivered by Ubereats rather than go out. People are drowning financially while others are making like bandits. How could that possibly breed anger and discontent?
There are plenty of people who don't even fall into those categories of lost jobs, high rents, and financial burden yet they are still in fear and rage....I know and see many of them. They have it made yet they have been brainwashed and programmed by the political, racial, and news matrix.
@@patrisio3 My older brother lives in Alameda. They are on full on Lockdown.. haven't seen him in a couple years now. They finally took a vacation after 6 months of never leaving their house and went to a beer garden in Nor Cal somewhere. Scared to death.
Those are all consequences of your response to covid, not covid itself. But gee, there's no need for you to think anymore now is there...
True. My household work life (work from home) was much the same as before, and as.a hermit (I have my wife and friends, yes), I did not suffer like others in the pandemic. She’s apparently financially and “community-“ independent traveling the world. So she has little compassion for those suffering in the pandemic. People who can’t just travel somewhere else. I was never bothered by people wearing masks.
Refreshing conversation. Thanks Peter!
I’m living in Sweden and watching the news out of the US over the past year I just feel the country has gone crazy. So sad.
Most of the people in this thread probably feel good about the Jan 6 terror attack on the US Capitol. You'll notice this woman is fixated on the "rage" of LA and SF yet failed to mention that and it happened a week before this video.
Watched twice. Great job! 100% agree with what Curby said.
Glad I saw your comment, thought her name was Curvy Butt 😳😁
What the privileged white trust fund person
@@halitosis75 That may be true or not, but to me all she said resonated with me for the current state of 2021. I would do the same as her.
Thanks! I live in a remote place in Mexico. Yes, Mexican people are happier by essence (through faith, family, community values), but the fear has been hitting here too, surprisingly for me, as I always had the impression we were so remote that it would protect us from fear-mongering (media, government).
To be fair, it does suck to actually get sick. So there is something to fear. Yesterday was my one year covid long-hauler anniversary. Back then I was afraid I might die. I still can't breathe quite right.
And yet, thankfully YOU ARE STILL ALIVE.
@@Captain_MonsterFartI had long covid and I just sucked it up. If you survive, you come out much stronger. If immune system has no “dirt!”No regular challenge, we actually become frail and super vulnerable to the slightest Earthly existence. I didn’t get no shot and hardly ever wore a mask, especially when 90%people were doing it. I bet you got shots and wore your mask. Insanity
No lie, if she’s walking around with no mask on in SF, then yeah, folks won’t feel inclined to speak to her. She’s also probably getting some looks 👀
Crazy people
It's pretty normal that people try to protect themselves from her! Of cause, she didn't wear mask and expect people friendly toward her! I call it Entitlement!
Yes, because they're hysterical and incapable of thinking rationally as a result. Transmission outdoors is exceptionally low because your few coronavirus particles (if you even have it) amongst the sea of open air particles are not concentrated enough to infect the next individual over. Outdoor air is not stagnant like in an indoor environment.
Good work Peter

I disagree, she travels and sees how normal people live. I travel for my job and SF is the last place I like to go. That includes London, Santiago, Mexico City, NY, Munich or even Tampa Bay.
Nah. She seems to be quite aware - more aware than the people living there.
@@charleslindberg4222 Sorry I'm not buying her bullshit! I can tell by her speech and mannerism that she's one of those overly sheltered liberal nutjob that has never held a conversation with someone from a different walk of life or race/ethnic for more than 90 seconds.
Traveling from 1 major city to another doesn't make you worldly. In this globalized world every major city in the world are exactly the same. The same personalities, political view, beliefs, etc etc are all concentrated in Major cities all over the world.
@@oliveraparicio8464 that's funny because most of the liberals in SF are petrified if they don't walk outside without 2 masks on their dumb faces.
@@oliveraparicio8464 She listened to her Chinese roommate when she spoke about her opinion of the "news." And she factored it into her own world view. How is that not having "a conversation with someone from a different walk of life or race/ethnic" [background]?
She judges people for their escapism not knowing the pain and loss that they went through. Isn’t the traveling lifestyle she lives just another form of escapism? It feels very preach-y... “I’m better than the people here...quick judge then leave”. The world is going through a tough time not just San Francisco. I hope we can all stop to help each other and ourselves more by living humbly one day at a time to get through it.
as commented above, classic projection at play here, I'd like to hear her open up about her own demons that are clearly eating her alive right now.
The reason people in the city have gotten like this is because America is an individualist country. You can't have happy people when they don't look out for themselves and not looking out for other people is glorified. When people are struggling to keep houses over their heads and dealing with a pandemic they're not going to be happy.
Yup I think everyone is going through some tough shit right now. It’s hard to put on a happy face and pretend nothing is wrong when a pandemic is clearly going on. I’d like to breathe in fresh air like any other person and smile at strangers like I used to, but there’s a social responsibility that comes with wearing masks. I’m currently pregnant and extra paranoid about getting COVID. Seeing someone not social distancing or wearing a mask around is very stressful and inconsiderate on their part.
I agree. INDIVIDUALISM only works if you can respect everyone else’s right to be an INDIVIDUAL! (Or not, maybe that’s how the system keeps moving?)
Love this
You should see the DC, Virginia, Maryland, West Virginia metropolitan area. It’s normal life, complete opposite of what the cities in California are going through. People are social, going out, businesses are open. Quite similar to your NYC trip.
Same here in Florida
@@julyjay3163 I'm thinking of moving to Tampa.
I live in Maryland and you still are required to wear masks when going to stores.
As a DC metro native, I've always found a way to talk to the people who are outgoing here, but I'm tired of the weather. Homeless people in California look like they're having a ball and that's because they don't have to worry about the weather and taxes.
It's all of the people stuck living corporate life that seem destroyed in Cali. There's something that's gotten the middle class really depressed in Cali, which is strange because that weather should instantly keep your mood up with no snow to shovel.
Same I totally shot myself out of watching the news about 8 months ago. I cancelled my cable channels and just have the basics. There are so much negativity and victimhood-ness as if .....FB i'm out of that as well....
Man I had a feeling your content was starting get a little weird... Don’t listen to the media! The media is misleading! *posted on the second largest media platform on earth*.
I totally agree 100 💯 % with her!!!! This is what they want you to do in America. She’s absolutely awesome and has common sense.
Get to Know your CREATOR! Because that’s who you’ll be returning to once you take your last breath.
Being stuck in the house for the most part really helps in realizing that I've got no more excuses for not improving myself. I set my own schedule, for better or worse. And I decide whether I'm being positive or negative about things.
I like her words a lot. They reverberate very much with what I've felt the past year.
Why are you stuck in your house. Did someone lock you in, call 911
@@andrewjohnson5188 why would I call 911 when I'm not in the US?
She spoke my mind. The media has ruined our mental health. Someone genuinely ran into the road when I was walking past yesterday. It's more terrifying than we give credit.
Smart woman. Keep on your path sister
More people gotta get this mindset
I think I'm done with the news too. There was a shooting in a massage parlor this week. Of course it was tragic; the shooter is a monster; and my prayers go out to the victims and their families. But even before all the facts were out... the news started this trope where America needs to stop being so anti-Asian. In fact, Congress is holding a hearing on this very issue. I'm sorry, what? One crazy loser in Texas goes on a shooting spree because he was double-charged for a rub and tug... and suddenly America has an Anti-Asian bias that needs to be addressed? It's like the media has this narrative that everything bad that happens to a minority in America has to have some racist motivation behind it. It's like they're intentionally trying to stir up anger and resentment along ethnic lines.
Tourist comes to San Francisco, putting people who live and work there at risk and criticizes the city for hatred and fear? People in San Francisco taking the pandemic seriously is not hatred or fear of their neighbors but people actually caring about the city... this is just so tone deaf
OK well Chinese news is state media and American news is a bit different, even with all it’s faults. In America, we have the freedom to have independent media under the sun light.
Welcome to Pelosi's town
San Francisco is such a beautiful city and it’s a shame what it’s turning into. I used to visit back in the days and I had fond memories. I love the Bay Area.
Yes, it truly is a beautiful city. We used to go there regularly in the 90's and 2000's and always had a great time. It started changing for the worse around 2010 or so, but I wouldn't have thought it would get this bad. I miss pre 2010 SF.

Spot on when she said we take everything for granted. I’ve always felt that as Americans we have it so easy. I didn’t figure this out until I traveled the world in my 20’s ( I’m 52 now).

Everything she's said my family has seen for a long time and even before the pandemic has ramped up. As a Ukrainian in a liberal area it's really bad.
I’m sorry. I am in a different area where it is bad too.
And I think getting worse fast with Biden. And idea of lockdown continuing on. Please help support President Trump to try to get things better. ua-cam.com/video/6mMmH9qGMCo/v-deo.html

I'm in Kiev which i consider a liberal area for Ukraine and almost nobody takes covid seriously so not sure shay your are talking about

Excellent
Sedona is great!! You will love it.
I heard there is a big move in to Sedona right now, hope it all goes well, so there is not suddenly lack of water or some yoga war break out between the old guard and the new hip LA guard, throwing crystals at each other 😁. But yes leave the old low vibe behind, find places with better energy and people. Fear, anger and pain is not the way forward.
@@larsstougaard7097 OMG best comment...... Up in Bend OR their having the same problem.... craft beers flying all over the place.... LA hipsters buying up all the REI $400 tents...
@@anybodyoutthere3208 yeah thats often the problem, people doesn't just move, they bring with them their culture, thoughts and politics and it can end in conflict easily and those who lived there long time feel disrespected or disconnected from the new hip crowd. Many from California has moved to Texas, so wonder if they have a culture clash different places. I hope you are not caught in the middle of such things 😊🍹
Lars Stougaard yeah my boyfriend is from Oregon and watches from afar all the pain going on up there. Not like the 70’s and 80’s anymore up there.
Now in Southern AZ....and everyone seems to be lightning up a little here with diaper ....soon will be 105 and the maskers will drop in the street like last summer.
Like that girl being interviewed we’ve continued to camp, hike, bike, swim, kayak and hang with neighbors
Seems in our area we do have the CA’ans here with cash in hand ready to buy over the price....like how they do over in Austin Texas. Not sure how Texas will fare with the influx from the golden blue state 🤔
Love this lady! Good Souls and conscious awake beings need to stick together!!
I am from San Francisco! She is 💯% right!
My liberal friends and family are terrified. My conservative friends and family are taking Vitamin D, getting sun, stopped watching the news, wear masks and limit but try not to eliminate risk. I worked to lower my blood pressure by reducing salt, since blood pressure is a risk factor. So far so good.

You have to be rich to afford to be living in San Fran. With homeless ppl sleeping in front of your place
Big cities in crisis times are horrendous.
Yes don't go to LA : " LA's annual homeless count, released Friday, shows that 66,433 people now live on the streets, in shelters and in vehicles within the county. That's up 12.7% from 2019. Within LA city limits, the number of people experiencing homelessness is 41,290, a 14.2% increase over last year". Super tragic and at the seem time many move out of California like 135.000 in 2020.
@@marcopolo1134 what I don't like about the political left is the hypocrisy I often see. The people in California should help and house the homeless. With billionaire after billionaire they could easily come up with solutions, innovations for micro homes, street therapy, new jobs etc. If they are soo good and perfect they should turn their big bleeding heart towards the pain and suffering they see in the streets every day and do something about it. But it just tell us how they really are when faced with real life problems, they can't handle it and go to yoga class instead or make a Facebook group about saving homeless hamsters.
@@larsstougaard7097 imagine if republicans were ruling LA and California for last 30-40 years.... Media would've launched a crusade against them for creating this homelessness crises but in case of democrats they're just mumm and only talk about issues like how many genders are there and how great it's to be homosexual or queer. They don't want to talk about issues like deindustrialization and other major issues
@@arminius6506 yes, yes and yes. Liberals and idealists are beautiful dreamers, but when it come to face reality of life they can't handle it. Tough choices is not their thing, and they create a lot of pain and suffering for all on that account. The old saying "The path to hell is paved by good intentions" comes to mind.
I'm so glad I live in a rural town 😬. I feel bad for the sane people trapped in these places
Lost in all this criticism is the *fact* that _(as of today Feb 22nd 2021)_ *33,613 infections and 394 deaths* have been reported in San Francisco (a city of 900,000 inhabitants). And when I compare the infection and death rates to *any* comparably-sized city in California let alone the US, *San Francisco is way, way better*
So, *if a stranger ignored you during the pandemic then TOUGH SHT* _I'd _*_rather be ignored than joining the HALF MILLION OTHER DEAD Americans._* (You can call me rude, terrified or whatever, I DON"T CARE... If you feel more comfortable going around mask-less and in crowds, you have the rest of the US, esp. the Red States to live in)
She's been here for five days and she's an expert!
Media and government have done a great job in scaring the b jesus out of the public.
I am in Los Angeles. I wear a mask indoors, but when I am walking my dog or jogging, I do not wear one.
The looks I get from people & being called an asshole is not unusual. Its sad how depressed & angry people are. What cracks me up is when I am walking/running and a person or couple are approaching, their mask is down, but as we get closer to crossing paths, they put their masks on. Come on! What I hate the most is how people are wearing masks like wearing socks with shoes, or putting on a sweater/sweatshirt/etc etc when it gets cooler. That's all!
4:40 “the right person” is pagan mythology. Every partnership will have struggles because people come from different backgrounds. by quarantining people were forced to work on their relationships.. sadly many people chose not to and divorce was the solution for them
It's ok to break up. A relationship shouldn't be a prison sentence.
That’s what happens when an entire city only watches CNN
TRUE We've seen what happens when a entire Nation only listens to a psychopath 🤡
@@vikinglaw88 whatever. stay mad, lady

I love San Francisco and I hear people complain people in the city are not nice blah blah. I always came accesos extremely friendly people. It’s all about the energy you put out.
She seemed pretty friendly and open.
Loved your vlogs from Pakistan 🇵🇰❤
What a breath of fresh air that lady is.I tell quite a few people in my day to day business about defunding the BBC,who are one of the worst propaganda machines.I stopped paying the licence fee ,as have many others.
I'd say the fact that 400k people have died from COVID in less than a year is something to fear. If that many people were to die from a terrorist invasion, bet folks would feel different. I haven't watched the news in years. PS_ I wear a mask & observe social distancing but do make eye contact with people & still smile under my mask. :-)
Thank you for saying this. I am so sick of Trumpsters crying “Fake news” like the leader they worship. It’s only fake news when they don’t like the message. 🙄
There are a lot of people suffering right now. Jobs have been lost during to the pandemic. California has a very high COVID infection rate, that may be why they aren't "chill."
@@NU2UTX Great point.
ITS ABOUT DAMN TIME. A non Robotic human able to critical think and Energy so bright it transfers through the video. It just go's to show. We can beat the unluminated Elites at their world wide Game.
I love her way of thinking, and she's going to all of the places I've wanted to go but that the pandemic and sudden fear of flying has put on hold lol - Joshua Tree, Sedona, Austin, maybe Palm springs, too. I need a friend like Kirby in my life so we could talk about this kind of stuff. Agree with the last sentiment of doing what makes you come alive, I want that for me again this year.
For a moment I thought she was gonna take us to church. The most important part she didn’t say is that we have to seek God and build relationship with Jesus, that’s what’s missing for many.
I visited SF 20 years ago, Im from Ireland and have traveled and lived in different places extensively. Even back then there was a darkness bubbling under the service, the class divide reminded me of south africa.
The US is basically South Africa.
I say this as an African American.. the US media will always over emphasize racial divisions over class divisions. The latter would be far more unifying. It really doesn't help that people love being bitterly divided over any and everything in this country.
06:58. YES! You are welcome in Mexico!
Hey man! How is Mexico? Pandemic wise? Is it more open there?
@Tropico Stylee sure thing buddy, keep holding on to your delusions because no one gets robbed in the U.S. How about you do something productive for once in your life and read Calhoun's Population Density and Social Pathology while you're at it to hopefully wake up and realize how the U.S is heading straight into the shitter.
@Tropico Stylee I can see you never been to Mexico. I've lived there for over a year and never been robbed nor felt in danger.
@@stockholmsyndrome411 yup but of course you're supposed to wear a mask. And funny the bars are open but some historical places in the nature are closed lol
@@MishaElRusito So are the mask mandates less strict there or what? In Spain it's near 100% compliance 😷😷😷
I was talking with an older friend (almost 80) about the news… He made the point that when we were younger, we all got the same news. You might interpret it differently according to your political stance, but the news was basically the same. Now, “news” programs are tailored towards ratings, not informing, though I think the degree does vary. And equally importantly, holding onto those ratings. That means cultivating a public, cultivating their fears against the other and keeping them on your side. And that in turn means skewing the news in every way necessary to do that. Or in the case of at least one network, making it up all together (as they accuse another of doing that).
And now that social media have become such a source of “news,” nothing is out of the question anymore. You can believe that the earth is flat, you can believe that queen Elizabeth is a lizard, or that Donald Trump has come to save children from evil Democrats who are raping and eating them and feeding their blood to Anderson Cooper, and you’ll find a whole mass of people willing to believe it and support you in that belief. Walk out on the street and you see a mass of people who don’t necessarily look all that different, but go inside their heads and you find multiple echo chambers. Put a few in a conversation and too often, you have a group of people screaming at each other with their fingers in their ears.
That was a great share.
Its not just there, its all over. I work in grocery stores all over Michigan. Things are slowly coming back. Most young people, 20-40's wont make eye contact with me while i work. BUT when I run into an older person, I always have small talk with them.
What was the point of this video? I’m confused..
Sad
I'm in England, and I'm not exactly sold on what governments are saying about this pandemic. The way some people scurry around in the street & almost turn away from toy in the street, when it's an empty open street.
Fear. I've stopped watching news, msm & tv approximately three years ago.
Wow another San Francisco Vlogger!
Everybody got an opinion but ain't nobody got a solution
She’s very understanding person by the way.
Yeah, wtf is going on in SF. Where I live in CA, everything is almost normal, we still have to wear mask and shit, but nothing like SF.
That hasn't been my experience here in California.
Yassss!! Finally someone who is awake!
Am praying, hoping and baking in the extra time I have. 🌹
This girl should have her own YT channel 👍
I've almost never had TV but when I rarely do suffer it I'm amazed how bad it is. Far worse than useless but that also.
The fear-mongering and the play on words to make everything seem more gruesome than it truly was had me in such disbelief. I knew that the media was capable of this, but I didn't realize the people would so easily fall victim to it.
Ha, awesome! I don't pay attention to the news either!
It is too much at this point!
@@samanthab6642 I agree.

It is so easy to get SF to be one best cities in the world. 1. Getting rid of homelessness. Easy, build them a separate place and get professionals involved to care about those people. 2. Build super effective public transportation minimize vehicle usage. 3. Criminalize public drug usage and sales. 4. Declare tax free zone. And watch thriving.
First, the best name ever! See I have so mixed feelings. I know it is there, and not going to lie, I am afraid to get it. But at the same time, I have always referred to my upbringing and wash hands regularly respect personal space, yours and others. I work retail and knock on wood, I been good.
I feel they spoke out of both sides of their mouth. No eating indoors only in plastic bubbles outdoors, close local businesses but not big box stores, only necessities like a curtain rod.
I feel this was earth or whatever higher being there is, resetting us. This was the time to recreate who we are, who we want to be. To reevaluate what really is important.
I find so much truth is what she had to say. She has a voice we need to hear, where is her channel?
Thanks Peter for chatting with her and sharing.
so in agreement with her
She is so right. I agree with her 100 percent.
San Francisco will never be the same just know that and it seem like after 3014 it changed for the worse lol
She nailed it. Probably not everyone's cup of tea- but she really gets this on multiple levels.
She did!
