"People used to think the apocalypse was what dystopia was gonna look like. Make no mistake, we live in one. It's just a whole lot more boring"
literally exactly what i thought of when i saw this video
yea lol
I'm not sure apocalypse means what you think it means
@@amelliamendel2227 they mean that the apocalypse would be what people thought of when they imagined a dystopia - not that we live in an apocalypse, we just live in a really boring dystopia.
I don’t know what’s worse. The situation we’re in now, or Ragnarok/Cataclysm/Armageddon/The Apocalypse.
Funny thing about the ‘bootstrap’ analogy.
The term was originally meant to mean an accomplishing an impossible task, particularly used by the lower or working class. The point is that you physically CANNOT lift yourself up by your bootstraps.
I am genuinely impressed that big corpo has succeeded in making the phrase take a complete 180.
they did it with "The customer is always right" as well.
it doesn't mean the customer is right 100% of the time. It means the customer will always go after trends.
We gotta flatline the corpos choom
Y’all wanna hear something real fucked up?
My sister has severe stomach issues and can go days to weeks throwing up anything she tries to eat/drink.
Recently her doctor prescribed her an anti nausea medication that she needs to not die from dehydration/starvation from vomiting. We were told it would be 30 pills.
When we went to cvs to pick it up, we received only 9 pills. When I asked why, the poor ladies behind the counter told me that had to bargain with the damn insurance company to get my sister’s pills to a low enough dose so we could be covered.
The kicker?
If we were giving the full 30 days supply of ANTI NAUSEA PILLS, we would have to pay out of pocket 43,000 DOLLARS. We’d need to take a second mortgage out just to get meds that prevent my sis from throwing up every time she eats.
Fuck America’s health care system.
But the free market is so amazing isn’t it /s
@@BudewFan_not the free market but those who use the free market to privatize the free market so only they can benefit from the free market.
Without RAMQ (Quebec Health Insurance, it's run by the government), my medication would cost at least 2000 dollars a month. I just wouldn't be able to live alone/be independent without it, and am so glad it's covered. I wouldn't be able to work most jobs without it since, y'know, functioning hands are important, but then by proxy I wouldn't be able to afford the medication because I can't work. Knowing the USA, they'd probably also mark up my medication to be like 10000 per shot.
That’s f**king awful. 😞
Holy sh*t, I feel extremely bad for you and your sister, I hope things get better.
7:59 imagine dissing homeless for refusing to get a job, failing to realize they actually do have a job, but the tax rate in Chicago is so ridiculously high, that dispite still being employed full-time they STILL can't make a living wage
It's not because of the tax rate
@@jessyjulie5506no it's the cost of living. But if somebody who's about to lose my house because I can't afford the property taxes anymore I can say they don't help 🤷🏻
@@jessyjulie5506
Can confirm, as in Finland they have even higher tax rate, yet the government help is put so wisely, that there's almost no homeless people and everyone who works full time can afford to at least rent an apartment
Lmao some of them have TWO OR MORE jobs, and still can't afford housing.
Meanwhile weirdly, the finnish government can put homeless people in apartments and help them get gainful employment and reintegrate into society and stuff.
But thats "socialism" i guess.
Are you insane? It's not taxes. It's never taxes. It's the greed of landlords, the greed of CEOs squeezing more, more, MORE out of customers by raising prices even as they make record profits year after year.
Make no mistake, it's the greed of corporations that has caused this.
My job is considered "unskilled labor" and let me tell you- the managers have no idea how to do the job. I haven't even been there two years and I've outlasted at least 6 new hires that couldn't do the job. I'm not payed enough for this :(
Yep and they'll never promote you even though you totally deserve to be promoted, I assume you don't have the requisite piece of paper... And if you do ,you should quit and re-apply because they only hire management from outside the company
Personally I found that it's not about how hard you work, it's about how hard the person who can promote you thinks you work, and that doesn't necessarily require hard work.
Develop sociopathic tendencies, basically.
When I worked retail, it was considered unskilled work _until the fucking pandemic came about!_ The I was an "essential worker". No pay rise for it, either.
At least you have a job that allows you to pay for some ridiculously overpriced basic human rights. I can tell you, misophonia and misokinesia (got both of them) are no fun. Waiting for official diagnosis, but until then I'm stuck in this void. Can't get any form of compensation without it for my inability to work full-time (in a place that requires social contact) for more than a few months at most. Insurance isn't even the biggest problem; I'm left with crushing college debt because of having to drop out due to burnouts. In the end, it's for the best as my health comes first but I would accept an "unskilled job" in a heartbeat if that means I can work in peace with enough rest in between workdays (either shorter or 3-4 workdays a week). Just something so I could get the bare minimum, and feel like I have a future.
"unskilled labor" yet "essential workers".
we don't have slaves and indentured servants, because we don't call them that.
"This is a no quit restaurant". Screw you, if I say I'm quitting I'm just not gonna come in. What are you gonna do? Fire me?

I love that we call the USA a developed nation when we care not at all about its citizens. This is bullspit
We are a nation that has a military capability to probably eradicate any country but can't offer supports and fair wages for those in need. :)
@@ChillyUltraKill not even their own troops. The people who sacrifice life and limb… it’s a sad sad reality.
@@erikarussell1142 we don’t even give large support to veterans. THE VERY SOLDIERS
Fun fact, the US gdp is a fucking lie and if you remove the 1% who hoards all the money it qualifies as a third world country.
Many "third world" countries care way more about their citizens. Americas education system brainwashes people into branding everything that is good for society as a whole and good for people in need as "socialism", "dangerous", "taking away from yourself".
It's stupid.
And don't tell me a system where you have to pledge your life to a goddamn flag each day isn't brainwashing.
I work at a fast food place, I had a police officer come in, and even with his discount he couldn't afford his meal... It was fast food... I just gave it to him.
I had something similar happen with a military veteran... and again, I just gave him the food. People need to fucking eat, why are we gate keeping crappy tacos behind a pay wall?
Right with you on that. Everyone deserves to eat
because Corporate need profit. money good with more money. poor people just too lazy.
Why are we shutting down 20,000 farms per year and seizing control of the food supply? Why doesn't anyone treat this for what it really is? Tyrants will always do the most they can get away with, just under the level that would cause everyone to rise up and riot. Or what if people just start "randomly disappearing?"

I don’t know how much soothers are in America, but here in Scotland they cost us 80 pence, which is one dollar and one cent, let’s say one dollar for convenience.
This is a pack of ten, so we’ll say that it’s 10 cents for a single soother.
If they’re giving one soother for ten dollars, then thats ten times the price.
@@Png_gamingwouldn’t that be 100 times the price?
@@Mr.Bob-Gray You’re quite right, I made a mistake.
My family uses Blue Cross. I have a disability that is benign skin cancer (LCN). When I was only a few months old I needed a severe surgery on my spine with the risk that it would become malignant in the future and cause nerve damage. My family argued with blue cross for 6 months to get insurance to cover it! And in the end I still ended up with nerve damage and had to get a blood transfusion. that blue cross also refused to cover to help.
I still will never understand the “benefits” of not having universal healthcare.
Felt. I have a degenerative disorder that affects my bones and cartilage. My mother and father refused to acknowledge it so I haven't had treatment for decades. I didn't start to receive treatment and diagnosis until recently when I was literally homeless (having been kicked out of where I was living for needing a wheelchair), and even then. I got kicked out of the homeless shelter I was stuck at for being disabled and not able to get a job or use a benefit advocacy program (Im not old enough.)... :| I really wish I could have just had insurance from the get go and the means to get care when I was younger. Because everyone just treats me like I deserve to die and it's all my fault I'm "broken" and need to be "fixed". I dont want to be fixed, I just want to be treated like an equal and like I deserve help.
why don't we just get free healthcare (bc that wouldn't be the American way 😢😢😢😢 /j)
but the TAXES!! it isn't the AMERICAN WAY!!
...i'm so glad i'm canadian
@@lychenthropetalk to a lawyer about that, kicking someone out for needing to use a wheelchair is definitely illegal
@chazmitchell5696 many countries with even US-level public or subsidised healthcare systems have a tax rate no higher than the US, the only real exceptions being those in western Europe (barring the UK).
Society is doomed bc of the rich. Blaming anyone else is just idiotic and i wish people i know would stop doing it
I’m personally a capitalist, but I sort of agree with you.
@@Astreiousyeah it isn’t the system, it’s the people that only wish to privatize that system so only they can benefit off of it at the cost of everyone else.
What happens when they have all wealth in the world, they own the planet, all its resources, and all its people? Nothing, that’s what. Their greed is insatiable and even when they have literally everything they still won’t be happy with what they have.
The lame-duck "revolutionaries" aren't helping by not doing anything offline for 5 minutes without their social structure turning from the French Revolution to Mean Girls the second a disagreement happens.
@Astreious dude, the minimum wage has been fixed at $7.25 for the past 15 years, while cost for food, rent, gas and overall cost of living continues to rise
@@Josh_the_jester you’re saying this why
13:54 man.
One fine day in the dead of winter the pipes froze on my water radiator heater. Pipes snapped all throughout town. I had been blocked at grandma's house when the blizzard hit and it took 3 days to get home and see what was broken.
The short of it:
Lay cardboard on the floor. At least 2 layers but aim for 4 when -10°F (more layers when lower).
Put one tent inside of another.
Put bathtowels on the roofs of both tents to absorb humidity and reduce heat loss.
Hang sheets between the ceiling of the big tent and the roof of the little one to slow air flow.
You'll wake up sore and ashamed, but you'll wake up.
The worst part about things being built on the moon Is that unlike earth, there are no plants to break down the buildings and such on the moon, so the only way for them to disappear would be asteroids, which means that an amazon sign on the moon would stay there, for at least a hundred million years
No oxygen either. That is a very sad mental image
A derelict Ad sign. Possibly a better thing to leave behind as an example of humanity than "mostly harmless".
micrometeorids can erode things much faster than that. And the moon has no atmosphere to block them. UV radiation is also a factor. The flags planted on the moon by the US no longer look like flags because of the unblocked radiation that bathes the moon constantly.
A good one to add to this is idaho just shut off water to 500k farmers at the same exact time they just opened a cobalt mine running 24/7 on a pristine mountain range, you know what cobalt mines need? Lots and lots of water.
This is why Idaho isn’t real. It was always Oregon.
god 😭 i hate it here
And then they'll complain the local crop yield was too low 💀
welp guess im not getting water for the next few months *hoo boy i love moving*
Who the FUCK needs cobalt??? Farms should absolutely take priority. I hate that money has ruined our world. We have the ability to get rid of world hunger but the people at the top are actively choosing not to. I hate it here.
my friend got a rock as an appreciation gift. no joke, a literal rock in a gift bag. to make it worse, she was a teacher.
that is just plain stupid unnecessary.
I'd quit on the spot if somebody tried to give me a rock as an appreciation gift.
how do you think of this. genuine question -- what is the thought process here? what goes through the minds of administration of a SCHOOL, to say "ah yes. a rock that we found 15 minutes ago. this is definitely an appropriate gesture to show our appreciation for our underpaid teachers !!"
I assume that was a student going "I want you to have my favourite rock, please take care of him"? You know what kids are like.
as a student i do know how bad teacher's lifes are. they work from 8-5 and have to do alot of preperation at home too.

19:32 WIC is VERY specific in regards to what you can and cannot buy. Down to brands, and ammounts, so by changing the ammount in it could cause it to be no longer be valid as the Government for that year only approved that specific oz ammount.

@@Roadent1241 Not it was clearly an organization just refusing to cover that format.

@@fr0nk571 Someone else in the comments put it better:
"A gallon is 128 fluid ounces, so a half gallon would be 64 fluid ounces. This is a scientific fact. This is not something that is open to interpretation. By taking away 5 ounces from a half gallon, they are removing almost 10% of the milk the buyer is expecting to get."
WIC isn't supporting the new bottle size purely because Darigold is practically scamming buyers, especially ones in need. They didn't change the price at all
@@fr0nk571 The format being an alternate type of milk? I couldn't read the paper and I had it on a 32 inch TV.
21:40 if i’m not mistaken, that’s a nuclear reactor. the safest form of non renewable energy and the only form of non renewable energy that doesn’t have a carbon footprint at production.
If only they'd finally build a safe permanent storage location for nuclear waste instead of stuffing it in old salt mines and then acting surprised when the salt eats through the storage containers.
And actually build new, safer reactors instead of keeping the old ones running until they become decrepit and prone to failure.
But that all costs money.

I bet the "but we miss Amazon" article title is just another quote joggling and the actual quote was something like "there are 1-2-3-18-29... benefits, we are so glad we're here, we won't ever move back - but is there at least one thing you miss?... well, if you insist, Amason delivery was kinda ok..."

If someone says x homeless people should just get a job, many of them probably forget that some homeless people, with all due respect, are not capable to have an occupation, due to not only physicial but also mental problems.

That and some don't have proper education for some jobs.

23:26 “conversion” in this context refers to the people who actually bought the product after seeing the ad, I can’t say for certain that it was the intended word for this sentence, but it does make sense.
Watching this video after having to console my crying mom because she had to work a 14 hour shift, stopping by to give commentary and some relevant anecdotes to a couple of the posts. First off, the US made microchips being found in captured russian vehicles… it’s pretty moderate compared to where else our MIC has stuck its fingers. We’ve sold aircraft to both Turkey and Greece, who are in constant spats with each other and it’s a regular Thursday for them to shoot down the other one’s fighter jet, and so it’s often you will see American built jets facing off against American built jets between the two sides. Second off, the post about the shift leader having to come into work on his birthday… at least he got pizza. A coworker/friend of mine had to come into work on his birthday and he got nothing special for it, not even a birthday card. I work at an escape room and we do more for customers having a birthday than we did for bro who worked on his birthday, we usually have to make customers cards and everyone on shift has to sign them but I digress. The reason my friend had to go in on his birthday is because nobody could cover his shift. I was the only one available and willing to take the shift byt I wasn’t even allowed to because I would’ve gone into overtime during the shift and they didn’t wanna pay the extra $40, which pissed me off.
That's sad. My mom works 16-hour shifts sometimes. Luckily, her work can't legally keep her at work more than 48 hours a week because she is physically disabled. (Her shoulder muscles were ripped beyond repair, and her hips were damaged beyond repair.)
I hope it gets better for everyone's sake.
Good luck.
While I technically had no bonus on my birthday when working… I worked at a theme park so my employee benefits were basically my celebratory birthday

Antihomless laws that jail them for years are what happens when places have prisoners work for the prison's profit.

Technically true. Depending on which ones you mean, they tended to have very big bedrooms but did have to share. Share beds that is.

Technically, but they had bunk halls and had to share it with like loads of people
Prisoners are also charged for rent not just utilities. And if they can't pay the bill when getting out of prison they can get sent back to jail and charged more rent and utilities while being unable to get any kind of income while locked up. But still working for the prison cause if they refuse to work for 12 cents an hour its solitary confinement
this sounds like an easy way to get trapped in an infinite loop of getting out of jail only to be sent right back in.
@@cloud_congestus Yeah that's kinda the point. Because prisons can rent out their prisoners for labor to places like Walmart. They need to guarantee they have a good(pardon my phrasing) supply of workers so that they can get paid by the companies who use prison labor.

My class did a water test in 5th grade for some reason, but suspiciously, we never saw the results. They were immediately taken to administration and all the water fountains were replaced a year later over the summer. Parents were only told that the school was "remodeling".
12:30 can confirm. I just finished healing up from having necrotizing fasciitis in my tailbone area back in January. As painful as that was, my insurance paperwork was worse.
Remember when the idea of a billionaire that could get away with whatever they want was so bizarre they just became the norm for supervillains? Lex luthor and green goblin are just average top 1% people in the 21st century.
I made it :3
You made it :3
Nice
I also made it :D
I didn't make it. But congrats! :3
@@Amber-Stardust Congratulations >w
19:26 A gallon is 128 fluid ounces, so a half gallon would be 64 fluid ounces. This is a scientific fact. This is not something that is open to interpretation. By taking away 5 ounces from a half gallon, they are removing almost 10% of the milk the buyer is expecting to get. I've stopped buying Darigold products because of this, and I hope that the WIC boycott leads to Darigold losing business.
Greed ruins everything, and the rich don't give a fuck about anyone else. My landlord installed one coin operated washer and dryer for six units, while charging $1,200 a month rent. During one of our conversations, his wife blurted out "we're not slumlords", even though I didn't say or imply it. They also have all kinds of insane restrictive rules. They even locked the outside water faucets. Besides being tiny, the place looks and feels like a prison.
1:04 The forbidden Pokeball
Robin rant time!
The EU alredy solved the ATM promblem. They are 24/7 but acces to the small room they are in is restricted by a card scaner at the door. You have acces to the inside if you have a active card and wen you enter you are held responsible for any damages, and no one else can enter sed room till the the one inside leaves.
Uplifting good ending sci fi:
i went thru a pack of cigs and its only 10 minutes in the video, god i hate this planet
6:16 LOL This is just a win for retail workers who’s least favourite part of the job is dealing with customers. Just let a robot do it and they can hang out with their coworkers in the back making food and making jokes as loudly as they want.
Random comment: You did actually say Quebec right the first time🥲
I was like oh wow he didnt butcher it and then he did...
@@fr0nk571 I was like "so close... yet so far..."
I know. He got this close and then fucked it.
So.... the dating simulator is an actual tax filing software made by a person who was angry at Turbotax.
22:20, so we hit that point of Black Mirror!
This subreddit does actually make me feel better! I've always felt like things were fucked up, and this proves im not crazy
I needed all of the subreddit
me too
That squeaky toy's noise is one of the triggers that makes me laugh no matter what. It's making this whole experience rather interesting, as I'm angry with what's on screen, yet laughing each time that sound pops up.
I'm angry laughing.

Radical highway?????
listening to this while I play "Adventure Capitalist," a game literally about being part of the problem.
Love your style, keep rocking it!
When I went to my first prenatal visit, they asked about my mental health history and my family's. I told them my brother struggled with depression and anxiety, and they billed my insurance $114 for it. They didn't do anything about it, not that they could....because it was my brother and not me..their patient. So confused and angry about that BS.
They also let like 4 separate salesmen into my room two hours after I gave birth. I just wanted some damn tacos and sleep.
M&Ms and popcorn is pretty sad, but don't worry! They've learned their lesson.😊 Next year you'll get nothing. Edit. Please don't stop doing this subreddit, you're passionate about change- this is how you helped exact it ,this is your chance in life to help.
I remember one time me, my dad, and my brother completely blocked a stock checking robot. That was funny
16:55 so weird how monetary value is offered just to donate blood and plasma, here in Australia people just do it if they can because it’s the right thing to do.
People donate blood all the time here and we don't get paid for that, people sell their plasma because they can't afford to eat. No joke.
Right?? People have become so selfish they need monetary incentives to get donations, and where do they get that money anyways, I just know it could be put to better use.
@@fr0nk571Well that's what happens when we're not paid enough to be able to use our free time charitably.
Sorry if I need some extra money to make ends meet and literally selling my blood is one of the only ways to do it that doesn't involve getting a second job.
@@hmnhntr yes wouldn't you be so happy if that ability was taken away from you too? I know I can't afford a car maybe soon I won't be able to afford to keep the lights on either 🤷🏻 I'm sure I'll have plenty of free time to spend on charity then I guess.
6:50 This looks straight out of one of those city skylines videos where people try to make the most awful cities they can.
Seems... dystopianly boring -_-
49:05 ok when the hell did earth turn into the gosh darn Lorax like chopping down all the trees poisoning the water and selling air
Except squandering and mismanaging all of it, like in Spaceballs.
Hate the sub, immediate dislike
Just so you know, there’s quite a lot to be gained by reading Capital.
44:21 its so sad that were loosing the libarys.
