"private prison" and "for profit prison" are two ideas that should not exist in a society
Capitalism
We live in a capitalist society. If something is profitable, it will happen.
Capitalism doesn't care about morals or ethics, you should know that by now.
@@ShawnC.W-KingYes bi, because mass incarceration wasn’t a thing under socialism lol.
@@kgm4556name one, one actual socialist country. Because there isn't a single country around right now where the economic system is based on the workers owning the businesses they work for. Which is what socialism is.
@@kgm4556 We're not talking about mass incarceration, we're talking about Private Prisons and For-Profit Prisons.
Billie had a point tho, and it’s not just western artists who are being so wasteful. I’ve been a fan of kpop for the past 7 years and it’s insane the consumerism culture that runs rampant. People buying hundred of albums for different photo cards, photo shoots, and repackaged with one new song and a lot lot more.
One of the 1st things I thought of not Taylor swift lol! My sisters are big bts fans and have so many of the same album and I just don't get it. Seems crappy to take advantage of your fans
I briefly was into bts, and the number of cds my friends bought just for the little cards was astounding.
Excessive consumerism and gluttony turned me off to them tbh
K-pop fans are the worst kind of people. Right next to tswift fans.
Yes exactly what I thought of too, k-pop. I actually think western singers started doing this because it worked in k-pop.
@@WhyRUclipsWhy that's also something I think too. Artists always put some sort of deluxe version but not as many as they do now!
Minor technical correction: liquid nitrogen does not react with water. The liquid *nitrogen fertilizer* used in agriculture is just ammonia: either compressed or cooled into a liquid state, or stored as concentrated aqueous solution.
I mix a lot of pelletized nitrogen with water, I never knew it was dangerous. It says to right on the bag!
Thank you, I was just about to add this correction.
Vinyl collector here, I completely see where Billie is coming from. There are so many variations coming out for mainstream artists that it is actively oversaturating the market, not to mention that when smaller artists want their own products done, they have to wait months before they can even get the chance if at all, as well as it costing a fortune. Maybe if more mainstream artists embraced the recycled wax practice then it can be less wasteful, as well as actually looking at the demand for albums. I remember seeing when Adele’s latest album came out, stores were lined with different variants and types but the demand wasn’t there for it so ended up taking up space and no one wanted them.
It's what lead to Marvel/DC almost going bankrupt in the 90's with variant comic covers.
@@kyleellis1825don't disagree with what billie said but her own album had dozen variant so she's acting like a hypocrite. For someone whose carrear is being carried by her brother, she acts to entitled.
What’s the problem with going digital
@@Lukemarlowe for me personally it’s a way of supporting the artist and owning a physical piece of media. Sometimes artists will also add new or exclusive content for those releases or sometimes they aren’t on digital platforms
@@Lukemarlowe look into the massive negative effects of streaming. We don’t think of data as having a physical form, but it needs to be stored in physical places. If you have an album you like to listen to on repeat, having a physical copy of it is a greener choice. Same with film and tvshows, if you only watch it once, then streaming might be better, but if you want to watch your favourite film once every year or more, then owning a dvd/bluray is definetely better for the environment.
There unfortunately are one simple fixes, there’s so much to consider if you want to find out what is the most sustainable solution.
If anyone needs a relatively light news story, the Pittsburgh Penguins (NHL team) had ordered 18,000 bobbleheads of one former player who they were honoring before a game and everyone who attended would receive a bobblehead.
A day or two before the game, it was announced that the shipping container with the bobbleheads had been stolen. They were eventually located after being returned to a secure warehouse, so everyone will get their bobblehead. But, I just want to know the thoughts of the people who stole them who were expecting items that could be easily sold without being traced back to them, only to get 18,000 bobbleheads of 1 former NHL player.
Thank you for this story! I didn't hear about it but it makes me happy to know everything worked out for everyone... Everyone except for those who stole the bobbleheads.
The sad thing about the spill in Iowa is that if there is a fine, it will likely be a drop in the bucket for the company. If we want these companies to start taking these things seriously, we need to strike them. Have the fine be a significant percentage of what they made last year. These billion-dollar companies will continue to pollute and not care about our planet because all we do is fine these multi-billion or multi-hundred million businesses a couple hundred thousand or a couple million and say do better next time. Then we are shocked when the same company does it again, and then they use the last fine as an excuse to cut costs while simultaneously giving the CEO and those at the top a much larger bonus. It seems like a tale as old as time.
The spill reminded me of a mass die-off that happened in Australia a while back. The Menindee Lakes are part of the Murray-Darling water system, and so little water had been flowing through that the lakes became isolated and starved of oxygen. And now that I looked into it, it first happened in 2018/2019 summer, and... again last year. And it all comes down to greed in Iowa and here in Australia. In our case, farms are allowed to pull obscene amounts of water from the rivers far, far upstream to grow crops that just shouldn't be grown in our climate.
The fines are the cost of doing business. They are not a detureant, nor do they pay even a percentage of the damage done.
If the punishment for a crime can be easily bought off, it's only a punishment for the poor.
Almost like voting red has consequences for the average person over time as accountability is stripped from the profiteers to the everyday man/woman
Wild.
And even if it's due to corporate neglect the ceo steps down and some low level mechanic falls on the sword.
I hate that the new norm is, "well you're doing it too!" Instead of "you know what? You're right, lets be better people." But being a better person seems to be too difficult for most people these days
Bazed
I’ve lived on the Missouri River my whole life, and hearing about this chemical spill is heartbreaking not just because of the local impacts, but the impact it may have downstream. The Missouri River is part of a HUGE river and tributary system, which feeds into the even larger Mississippi River watershed, which flows into the ocean. The Gulf of Mexico already is having a problem with dead zones and fish kills because of agricultural runoff from the river.
I did not expect to see that the judge sentencing the Chinese mobster at 9:53 is Mindy Glazer, the same judge from the viral video where she recognizes a man she's setting bail for in court as an old friend from middle school.
She's great .
When I tell you I RAN to comments when I saw this .5 second clip! We live in a small world…
I see I am not alone in noticing
I noticed it too lol
As a record collector I not only agree with Billie Eilish here, I am happy to hear a big name call this out. The record industry hinges on the ability to produce enough product for artists. When Adele's album 30 came out a couple years back it was pressed at almost every pressing plant and backed up the entire industry for over 6 months and as a result drove up the cost of records as a whole. The multiple variants issue is a different side of the same coin. You get big name artists paying pressing plants to skip over their backlog of orders and smaller artists are often left high and dry with fans often having to wait months to get an album from their favorite artists. I think that the sustainability of the production of records is very important and if the hobby is to survive into the future the coversation around the impact on the environment is very important.
I had a serve accident on Jan 1st 2020 where it left the other driver getting air lifted. Honestly, I wanted to run and hide but I didn’t. I helped him get out of the vehicle and on to the stretcher. I helped gather his things flown from his jeep. All while his family was threatening out loud that they were going to assault me. Despite all the guilt and shame, I only worried for the other guy. Luckily he only had cuts and bruises and even after that, they inflated the situation to say he survived something more horrific. I was fine with it, he was alive and that’s all that mattered to me.
Still lucky to say that I am 4 years removed of any vehicle accident. That day molded me into someone safer.
As an Iowan, it is frustrating how much the farm industry gets away with in this state. It's not just damage to the environment that could be completely preventable, but also how prevalent cancer is in many areas that can be linked to pesticides and fertilizers. There are also issues with air quality and hog/chicken confinements and how they lobby to make everyone else's quality of life lower as they push to allow them closer and closer to larger population areas.
I think Billie has a point. If an artist wants to release an album in multiple different mediums (digital, CD, cassette, vinyl, whatever) that's one thing but having four physical copies of the exact same album with the only difference being an additional song or a change in the cover art is so beyond wasteful. I don't know what the solution would be since the music industry in general is so money hungry and statistics driven.
Print special releases to order. Boom, no more waste.
@@Panama_Redthe problem is the same person has multiple versions of the same album, not that records are going unsold
@@lukejohnson6415 I'm still confused then. How is it waste if someone bought it owns it? Are we gonna go after Pokémon and other collectables?
This whole story is nonsense I say.
Also, get off my lawn😂
Is it just me or does this dude talk a mile a minute?! I literally put.75 speed he sooo fast! Such a great talent I wish I had!
The wasteful part is when ppl toss them out. I believe it was one of kpops group seventeen, where Chinese fans bought 100s of the albums for the extra stuff inside them, then left the actual albums at the trash bin, or left them in cafes. That's when it becomes wasteful.
I've been in an accident where I had someone rear end me going 80+ (I was going 65) and spun me out into the median. I was fine, but for several months I was checking my mirrors every half a second to make sure no one was coming up fast and was super nervous anytime someone tailgated me (which is every day, regardless of if I'm speeding or if there's room to pass)
I definitely get that. Someone hit me head-on because they were driving on the wrong side of the road at night without their headlights on. I really dislike driving at night, especially on single lane roads that are dark. That happened in 2017, and I'm still working on not being scared to drive after dark.
That’s me right now. Thankfully they didn’t hit me going 80+ but I have so much anxiety and I’m so cautious. Every time a car come behind me extremely fast if immediately get a panic attack. I know it will get better over time but it never goes away ❤❤❤
I was rear-ended at a red light when I was 19 that caused a lot of back issues, and it made me very anxious about people coming up behind me too fast. I'm over 40 now, and I still occasionally get that panicked feeling in my stomach when it happens. Even if your body heals, your mind might not.
I definitely get it! I was in shotgun, and a car clipped the front of our car at the intersection from my right. And for months, I would flinch, every single time we went through an intersection
I was in a hit-and-run and had PTSD for 6 months. Driving is a stressful thing and is too normalized.
Phil vibing with the phrase "comment commentary" like he doesn't remember as sourcefed is amazing
The way Phil just casually glossed over the SourceFed reference at the end 😭
Calling the last segment Comment Commentary was a huge Sourcefed throwback. Thank you to whoever was calling it that, that made Phil notice your comments.
I love his face like he didn't remember that it was a thing
Can we get Lee or Trisha to do Comment Commentary?
Thank you! I could've sworn it was from that but I wasn't sure if I was remembering it correctly
People want so badly to pit Eilish against Swift. Literally one of the first interviews I saw of Eilish had her saying she had a crush on Swift. People just have these whole worlds in their heads that do not line up with reality.
I love how celebrities act like they give a sht about everyone else when it's all a way to become more likable as a means to boost their record sales.
People want to see and create drama.
You see it in celebs big and small.
Billy is still ignorant af though lol she needs to learn to just keep her mouth shut at this point 🤦♂️
It doesn't mean she cant be criticized when other people manage her.
Crazy how my comment got deleted 🤔
Billie might want to have a chat with her record label before speaking on the matter of overproducing vinyl variants. Her debut album has about 20 variants, with three more announced for preorder just this past month (a swirly blue one with a glow in the dark cover, a picture disc and a bright orange one). 😅
Also, her second and most recent album had 8 variants. People say “but those were all recycled vinyl!” No. Only 1 was eco-vinyl. The other 7 variants were brand new “virgin vinyl.”
That was exactly her point though, and I think a lot of people are missing this. She specifically called out that you almost have to play the game in order to be successful, and that it isn't a choice they are wanting to make but being pressured into doing in order to succeed. She doesn't want that to be the way the system works, and with more pressure from artists things could change.
we love the correction my man. were not hating for wubby we just love seeing the man get credit because he has been snubbed by a lot of bigger content creators in the past that used his clips! keep up the great work
Oklahoman here:
We have an incompetent government more focused in virtue signaling to their base rather than governing.
If they cared, they would have regulations and regulators frequently checking in on these farms using the insane amount of tax dollars they rake in just by this industry being here.
This government is not only lazy but one of the most corrupt governments i have lived under.
💯 agree, our state government is literally the League of Villains
I second this, I'm stuck in Oklahoma too, all my life, and I'll likely never be able to afford to escape it.
And the thing that sucks is people are going to take the wrong lessons from this. It’s just fodder for the boomers who grew up hearing the propaganda around weed.
republicans.... I mean really this is not hard at this point
These are people who think government should do absolutely nothing while taking as much money as they can.
Former Dispensary Manager in Oklahoma here. The Black market is insane here. I quit my job over my boss buying from illegal grows rather than legal ones just because it was cheaper. Fake the tests for your customers and hide the stuff when youre getting audited. Its easy. But why would you even do that if you can just make a grow and lie on how much you produce, then just send that to the streets? Why go through the hurdles of becoming legal when its way cheaper and easier to get it from a plug?
Literally. I have 5 friends that smoke and only one has a license. The other 4 just have a random dispo that will sell to them anyways.
@@paigehall4830to be fair nobody should need a license to smoke.
The hard regulatory approach to legalization has fostered poor unit economics for legal operations. Its ridiculous that politicians will be able to stain weed legalization with this illegal bs. If alcohol was taxed to shit after prohibition ended I guarantee that we would be drinking a whole lot more moonshine now
@@paigehall4830cant afford dispos in most states bro. i live in chicago and i sure as hell cant afford it here. 70 dollars plus tax for 1g of distillate
@@AreteZoe Jeez it's much much cheaper here. I can get a good cartridge for 15 dollars.
Thanks for the help phillin
I missed the sale, thanks work
with the sustainability thing I immediately think of K-pop and how many different variations and versions there are of each album. Music in a whole does all of that not just Taylor Swift. Sad to see the internet always coming for her even as a person who doesn’t like her music.
I was just going to say the exact same thing. As someone who is in the kpop community and has seen (especially in the last year or two) the amount of variants that come through for albums. The biggest draw are for the collectible photocards of the members of the group, but it’s gotten to a point now where we’re getting three to four sets potentially to collect, as well as for some groups individual members as a version themselves. It’s getting really insane.
Its not just Taylor Swift doing it buts greedy, and people only defend it when it is Taylor Swift apart of it.
@@GeteMachineyep! I have a feeling if it was a man doing this then people would have been less likely to defend him.
People act like Taylor Swift is constantly the victim of sexist bias, and there are some ways which she certainly has been, but I think that a lot of people won't see all the things that Taylor has said or done that would have gotten a lot more criticism if it was a male celebrity doing it.
Yuuuup, as a J-pop fan I can confirm it's bad over here too ^^;
I think thankfully many people are finally coming to the conclusion that kpop was never good and was just marketing. Unfortunately it will never fully go away because it sells
Almost 1 million fish dead is horrible. The ecosystem and environment has been devastated there.
TY for the news
hey Phil, I have been a long time subscriber and I watch daily. I love all the content and how hard you and your team works to put things out. One thing I'd like to suggest is on stories where there might be a darker/bleak tone at the end you could adjust the transition phrasing or be a bit more conscious of what stories go before a sponsor. It's jarring as listener to hear about this well done story about Chinese gangs and the crime on drugs and going right into a happy ad about creating a business with squares pace. But hey im just a bastard with an opinion. Love all the stories and the constant bangers yall put out!
It's so funny because once you said Oklahoma the first thing that came to mind was "Chinese mob"
It’s a piece of the problem but promise you 75% of producers in OK have or are making off the books sales. The industry here is 👎
Do you live in Oklahoma? I smoke almost everyday and follow the news pretty regularly and still had no idea this was a big thing. I live up north though.
It's funny how us Okies know this but our state government turns a blind eye.
@@TheBest-zi2fp yeah, I’m familiar with it because I worked in the industry for 6 years. Honestly like 4 years ago people had started mentioning things to me but I thought it was just xenophobic stuff but the more time that went by the easier it was to find illegal organizations operating in the industry
got the same problem in rural canada with the vietnamese gang . happens all over man and its funding stuff back home . at least this group and that group were arrested but how many countless more are there?
Billboard should treat each vinyl variant as it's own separate release IF the track list is different, even if it's only different by one track. That way, in case of four different variants, it would cut total number of sales to about a quarter and each would chart WAY lower. That would hit egos and wallets.
Exactly this
Agreed! Big time. I’m a huge Kacey Musgraves fan but she just did this too and she didn’t even include her bonus track on the limited vinyls. I have a feeling she’ll release even more with the bonus. It’s a “don’t hate the player, hate the game” thing for sure. Billboard needs to account for these tactics
I love how PDF merch sounds super emo, but he means it in such a positive way 😂
Shout out to the sourceFed fandom for not letting comment commentary die. I see you and I'm still a part of you
Taylor Swift’s carbon footprint is incalculably huge-but so is Billie Eilish’s. This is a systemic issue, not one individual artists fault. Don’t let this be twisted into a Billie vs. Taylor thing. Tell the music industry to stop destroying our environment by speaking with your wallet! ♻️🌎❤️
That's why i don't get bought into all the media companies trying to drama farm. The most honest thing such successful celebrities could do is admit they over-consume and out-kill the planet compared to everyone else. That's why that Ricky Gervais speed at the golden globes was so epic. Everyone sounding like they care about something is just part of a game that requires likability.
YES! It's classic industry deflection. Instead of addressing a systemic issue, they turn it into petty "drama" between two women that they can profit off of. It's disgusting, and just another example of what Billie was talking about. But also--she is right for calling out artists doing this. Sure, don't hate the player, hate the game, but at the end of the day, creating all of this waste is a choice, a choice that is both harmful and self-serving. Billie was brave for speaking publicly about this--it's nice to see someone in the music industry actually TRY to be sustainable, particularly someone with the influence of Billie, as it can help raise awareness among her fans.
Or people could just stop buying stupid outdated forms of media? We live in the future, knock it off.
@@sadphie69she'd have a point if she didn't have a private jet that she flew around the world. I remember a story. I think it was 6 months ago about how she flew her dog over 8 hours on her private jet. Just her dog. Well I agree multiple variations on the exact same album is ridiculous and incredibly wasteful. But I think if you are burning jet fuel to fly your dog over 8 hours you really shouldn't talk. Environmental change because with yourself and if only 6 months ago you dumped that much carbon in the air for your dog for no other reason than you wanted to see it. Not because it needed to see a medical specialist, that'd be different. Just because you were super missing it. Come on.
See it’s a mix of that and everything else. Look at the Iowa story with the pollutions. And he says it’s the republicans but in truth it’s ALL parties responsible. Democrats pretend to care about the environment to get elected but then do nothing to change it because they are paid by the same people who fund the ass hat republicans. The only fix to environmental issues is to change every person who is in a position of power, from congress, executives of the corporations that fund politicians, and so much more. Otherwise nothing will continue to change. And we will just continue praying for a change that everyone in power lies to our faces about caring about and then continue doing nothing but making speeches pretending to care. And it’s just sad.
i was in a car accident recently where the other other driver hit us and ran. still haven't found out who bc they couldn't read the 'cross traffic does not stop' sign and hit me on driver side and fled. people are assholes and only care for themselves. my teen son and epileptic corgi were in the car with me at the time and thankfully we were all ok. drive safe out there friends.
There are SO MANY of those types of intersections where I live in Washington and I despise it for the exact reason that happened - people are selfish and aren't always paying attention. I'll never understand why those cant just be a 4-way intersection. I'm so happy you and your family are okay!
Our driving test standards are embarrassingly low, and adherence to the rules or etiquette, or judgement goes out the window. And all any state wants to enforce is the speed limit because "speeding" is an easy buzzword for people to understand.
There are places with unrestricted speed limits and the accident rate (let alone the fatality rate) is a fraction of ours. If our tests actually required people to know how to properly operate their vehicle, understand the weight of operating a multi ton hunk of metal, and exercise common sense, and if enforcement actually acted on anything other than speed (road rage, cutting off traffic, blocking merging traffic, not merging at the correct speed, driving slow in passing lanes forcing more dangerous right passing, failing to signal, failure to follow lane designations and signage, DISTRACTED DRIVING, and yes EXCESSIVE speeding) then we'd be safer overnight.
Even with how embarrassingly easy our tests are the first time passing rate is only around 50% in many states. That should scare EVERYONE. Some countries even require individuals to pass winter driving courses so they can be safe driving on ice! Meanwhile send a couple Benjamin's to Marios' cousins' best friend at the long Island DMV and you've got yourself a legitimate license.
Epileptic Corgi is a brutal band name
Yup. I got a concussion from a hit and run. Unfortunately it was still my fault. But the driver leaving is wild bc there was glass everywhere, and it wasn’t my glass
The editor in the beginning. You made my day!
Phil saying comment commentary just blew me straight back to 2016 watching Sourcefed and SourcefedNERD. RIP to the greatest channels ever
Jamaican here. The Haiti story reminds me of the bits and pieces I learned about how guns came into Jamaica - FROM THE US - and aided in the eruption of political wars. I'm super summarising, of course and this started before I was born. But I couldn't help thinking about it as I listened to the story.
UN blaming US gun laws? Did forget the time the US government gave the cartels military grade weapons?
I live in Iowa and work for the Natural Resource Conservation Services as a watershed coordinator and the situation with that chemical spill is just a large scale event that got attention. Many of the chemical and fertilizer plants, while well regulated, are not policed and inspected very often. The damage done to that waterway can take a project like mine which might take YEARS to implement progress and throw it all down the drain. I hope that the entire case is studied and preventative measures come from the whole situation
As a former Iowan...I wouldn't expect actual accountability or change. Kim and the rest of em only really care about whether the private schools get public school money.
That sounds like it costs tax dollars.
Shhhh, we're talking about the child celebrity who thinks we should make fewer vinyl records to save the environment
I need this to be heard: I LOVED THE TRACKING CAMERA
comment commentary is such a fun little throwback to sourcefed
What Billie is saying is so true! The fans dont want 4 vinyls that differ in one bonus track and colors: They want ONE deluxe version of the album. And that's all thats needed!
The amount of people who buy those different variants disagrees with you. People have to remember that if it wasn't profitable/tons of people weren't buying it, the labels wouldn't waste money offering it. Part of the issue is fan/consumer behavior that needs to be unlearned. The labels offering a bajillion vinyls is not good, but it's very much a two way street.
If fans didn't want them they wouldn't be selling. That's basic logic.
@@ShogunThomsen Speaking as a fan? Fans would definitely PREFER to have one deluxe version with all the bonus tracks on it. People want all the songs on an album, and currently, the only way to own all of them is to buy all the different versions. If there was an option of getting all of them at the same time, the vast majority of people would do that. Not only is it more expensive that way it's being done, it also means you can't listen to the entire album all the way through without switching out vinyls 4 times, which is kind of obnoxious.
@@jaylynn8630That’s if you’re buying vinyls to listen to them, which not all collectors do. I have a massive collection and don’t even own a record player. I view them more as art personally.
@@jaylynn8630 Maybe the ones who are online want just one deluxe album. That doesn't account for the probably millions more that are offline who buy the variants without a care in the world.
All those folks caring about who Billie was talking about,to point blame, instead can we focus on what she was saying, maybe address the planet issue instead of more infighting?
If you need celebrities to tell you how to behave morally, You're doomed. Celebrities exist for our entertainment. It's literally their job.
people really lean into "gotcha" moments without even listening to what is being said. i try to minimize the amount of single-use plastic i use and i can't count the number of people who immediately respond with pointing out a single-use plastic container i have. billie even said that she was guilty of the same thing, and didn't even mention names. we've also got a problem with this "team" mentality where everything is "us" vs. "them" like you have to go to war for a celebrity you like.
@@olknoxlocelebrities have gotten far too comfortable on their soapboxes
@@conormurphy4328 The issue is the people that are comfortable listening to them. Celebrities can have stupid uniformed opinions like the rest of us.
That intro felt like Tom Cruise had been recast by Phil in "Mission Impossible: Mission Ful-Philed" and the camera-follow was just showing the sheer hold of Phil's hair gel. My dear sir, that stuff is unstoppable and glorious! That's where you can get a good sponsor:
"Maybe he's born with it. Maybe it's Phil-balene."
I just have to ask. WHAT is the song you use at the end to advertise merch cuz it's been stuck in my head. It's a BANGER
That crash on the North Dallas highway is something that happens constantly. That highway is known for people driving recklessly because it is one of the few non-toll roads in Dallas and because of that, cops rarely patrol it.
If only you knew the hell on earth that is driving through houston
@@ronswanson1410 I have friends who live in Houston. I will take the minor chaos of Dallas any day over the absolute hell that is Houston traffic
Yeah I avoid 75! I’d rather drive an hour out of my way than drive on that death trap. A good friend of mine had someone wreck into her and total her car. They were the only two cars on the road for a good chunk of the highway and still it totaled her car.
You get a lot of dicks on 75 driving their massive trucks like they're the size of a compact car and weaving through traffic and it makes me never want to drive again. Also, the tailgating, so much tailgating.
driving in dallas is so stressful,,, i feel awful for those folks.
Editor: HAHAHAHAHA
the most silent evil laugh ever.
the editor is such a Bamf
I love you phil........APRIL FOOOLS 🤪
Why does china keep targeting the US. Wtf is the government saying to them???
Obligatory comment: love the daily dive, Phil! Keep up the good work.
Thank you for not falling into the April Fool's Day pranks. I have a sense of humor, but people tend to go too far making nothing believable on this day.
Hey Phil, Alabama guy here. Grew up around a lot of hunting/gun culture. Wanna correct one thing in the Haiti story. Hollow point ammo is actually “safer” than full metal jacket rounds. Full metal jacket (let’s call them normal) bullets are often mostly meant for practice at the range.
It’s not ideal to use those “normal”rounds for defense or combat because they will tend to pass through the target and then keep going where you then become responsible for everything else the bullet will impact past the target.
The purpose of the “hollow point” is that it will expand and “dump“ all its kinetic energy in the first thing it hits and won’t over-penetrate the target. Which in a crowded hectic environment like Haiti sounds fucked up but is actually “safer” for bystanders.
Obviously the Haiti situation is horrible and no one should be shooting at anyone. I’ve spent time down there in the past helping with disaster relief and my heart is breaking for the few people I know stuck in the situation.
Just wanted to chime in because often media sources don’t know a thing about how firearms work and phrases like “hollow point ammo” just sound scary.
I hollered loud enough to wake up my dog when he called them that. Funniest thing he's said in weeks.
I think like, a lot of people, he just has a bit of a blind spot when it comes to firearms. I also expect he is mainly repeating what was reported which often comes from people who aren't really informed on the topic.
On hollow points it's extremely common for people to view them as scary or more dangerous even when it's the common choice for self-defense and even by law enforcement for the reasons you gave.
Part of the difficulty is, Hollow Points are more dangerous in many ways, as the expansion means that yes, they aren't penetrating as deep, but the wounds are a lot less clean. So they're harder to treat because, just getting the round out is hard. There's a reason they are banned in military conflicts.
Should add: Remember: This is Hati. They don't have the best health system, so the round can be more deadly not from the bullet itself, but from the inability to treat the bullet.
Hollow points will mess up the intended target much more, but reduces the chance of accidental casualties. They are also less effective against body armor.
I ADORE the outro song. That’s literally all.
phil always has drops or deals when i’m at my absolute brokest 😭
As absolutely insane as the "CCP invading Oklahoma" is, it's a real thing. My grandparents bought a couple acres of wooded land about a decade ago with plans to build a house out there. Unfortunately my grandma died in 2019 and the land has been sitting there unused since. My parents have been taking care of my grandpa for the past few years because he's declining mentally, and we've seen him get calls from people trying to buy his land, come to find out he's gotten calls like those for years, most of them from people with ties to China. It's such a bizarre thing that's happening and no one seems to care all that much.
Yep, if you own land, you will get calls or find tons of low ball offers stuffed in your mail box all the time, lol.
@@lordfrz9339The opposite where I live. They'll offer way over asking price. They've massively driven up lamd value here over the last decade or two.
My grandparents bought 10 acres in 1978 and a whole city built around it. Most ppl there own horses, and the place is worth about 3 million now. They got it for 150k. I told my grandma that my husband and I would pay the refinancing off so she could stay there and use her money for a home health nurse. I just want the house to stay in our family. That house means a lot to me, and it's seen 4 generations of our family and my grandpa passed there. The idea of foreign countries using it to manipulate our economy is wild and upsetting.
@@stevenboelke6661 There are legitimate offers much higher in price, usually trying to build houses on it since there is a big demand were I live. But the spam offers are always super low. While the legitimate ones tend to offer once and realise most people wont sell for any price and move on.
@@SaintShion Just watch out. If she ever needs to be in assisted living and needs medicaid, they will require her to spend down and sell all her assets before being eligible. Even if the house is in a trust. If the house is still in her name, they will force her to sell it. If she gives or sells it to you within the 5 year look back period, they will not cover her. You are much better off having her sell or transfer ownership to you now while she's healthy and letting her stay there until she needs assisted living. I went through this mess with my grandma and her house. Everything was in a trust but Medicaid didn't care. They are brutal.
Love it being called Comment Commentary! Warms my heart with nostalgia for the Sourcefed / PDS double feature days.
I never thought twice about Billie Eilish before but after seeing how she handled that situation i could easily become one.
This video was more Moderate, good job Phil.
""fully" legalize it. the "legalization" by the people who also profited off the criminalization has been doomed to fail because of the numerous and huge flaws with how it has been done. it is my right to decide if i want to use it and how much i want to have to meet my needs and i'm not interested in asking permission.
Everything that’s occurred to Haiti is so disparaging. From the earthquake, the lack of aid in the aftermath, the continued deterioration and now this. As a zoe, it just feels like the worlds watched it fall apart and smeared haiti and fear mongered until it reached its current point.
No people were calling out Haiti on its BS, but soft-skinned lefties pretended it's a paradise that can do no wrong
The world hasn’t watched it fall apart. It’s been occupied by empires for centuries with periods of internal revolution and kingdoms. Don’t expect the west to help buy in large because we’ll just be called imperialist colonists even if we never adopt it as a territory
I think it needs to be pointed out more how American weapons have found themselves in the criminal hands of gangs AGAIN, it's happened in Mexico, where the gangs became cartels and it's happening again in Haiti, one of the consequences of free flowing weapons in the US starting to affect its neighbors
Hey, it's Monday and welcome to the Phillip We'll-Just-Have-To-Wait-And-See Show! 😁
Thanks Phil
My final thesis in Economics back in 2008 focused specifically on the major social cost of decriminalization vs just legalizing... It's cannon fodder for the black market incumbents. Crazy to see that happening now!
Variant covers ruined the comic book industry, now it's coming for music. __
I kinda like the road show. Feel free to do more of those!
The roadshow was awesome, do more like that so that we can carry on knowing that you're not just stuck in a box.
Whats going on in oklahoma affects way more than people think
Phil pulling a fast one and making the 25% off discount actually ADD 25% to the price. Respect.
Thank you so much for reporting on the American prison struggles. It really is nightmarish for the people involved.
Just wanted to say thanks for coupon code Phil! I’ve been dying to buy stuff from your store but I’ve been a broke bastard. The code helped me out a lot and I just put in my order! Thanks!
I don't know what stories you have for the week but there is one that I'm very eager for you to talk about: The conflict between China and The Philippines. My girlfriend brought this up (she's from The Philippines) and I am really curious on what your thoughts on it are.
I also heard that there's a conflict between China and Vietnam for basically the same reason.
@@evice I didn’t know about Vietnam being another one of China’s conflicts, Jesus Christ
China is in conflict with any asian country within its vicinity, they are a bully country that pretends they own everything and take what they want whenever they want. From taking air spaces from japan, the west Philippine sea, the Spratly islands, and the entire country of Taiwan are just a few examples.
@@Chlorine5572yeah, China is very well notorious on having disputes with multiple south East Asian countries over many reasons especially the South China Sea dispute
@@dandrelowery3714 does anyone think The US will get involved? That’s what I’ve been seeing.
Iowa news just feels like another case of people suffering due to a company cutting corners for profit and lack of regulation. Decades to fully recover is insane.
The tracking cam was fun. 😂
that "tracking camera" joke was gold
Hey Phil! Glad to see you!!
Swifties themselves are sick of the number of variants and bonus songs for Taylor's albums. They call her Capitalist Queen because of it and complain every time she announces a new one because the bonus songs that are limited to each album make them feel obligated to get all of the variants if they want the full album. That being said, it's definitely not a Taylor-specific thing. Pretty much every artist does this, in every genre, but of course T Swift is singled out by social media goons because she always is.
You should make the comment commentary section a separate video/playlist. I think that benefits both you and myself lol. Lately have been loving it, but seeing the followup on yesterdays stuff has become increasingly more on my radar and would watch it more if it wasn't at the end of each video as sometimes I dont have time to make it to each story. Just a thought!
One thing people aren't mentioning with the vinyl boom is how it's affecting smaller bands. And not just local bands, niche bands that go on national tours. I have a friend in a moderately well known punk/hardcore band with about 10K-30K followers. He's been a musician for over 10 years, they've been on multiple national tours but when I asked about vinyl releases I noticed his demeanor becoming really disappointed as he mentioned Adele by name. He said the shortage she's caused in he vinyl market alone has made the cost and speed of producing vinyl skyrocket and has made it unapproachable for independent bands. Their albums wouldn't be released on time if they had to wait on the vinyl. It just sucks how the mainstream uptick in vinyl production for pop is hurting the grassroots music scene in America.
Billie has a point, releasing multiple versions of one album on vinyl is not only wasteful for the environment, it also overloads the vinyl pressing plants which causes other smaller artists and bands vinyl album productions to be delayed, sometimes even a year. Jack White who owns the Third Man Pressing plant even made a public plea for large record companies to start building their own pressing plants.
The Chinese mafia story reminds me a lot of the Prohibition era of the 1920s and early 30s. A lot of the events play out beat for beat like those back then. I usually don't look into current day organized crime (cuz it makes my heart break and there's enough current events for that) but it just proves how history is cyclical and humans will human.
Thanks News Daddy for the news
omfg...that latina? model showing off the merch was incredible!
I like the positive Fools vibe that’s flowing. Jacksepticeye uploaded 22+ hours of all his happy wheels videos plus a drop on his coffee brand & now you’re giving the gift of discounted merch. I like this not practical joke version of the holiday. 🙋🏽♀️🥰
That was blowing my mind LMFAO. 22 hours, like damn.
@@jshooa4840 still found my favorite clip where he eats the habanero & the birth of Billy. 😂🥰
I heard "Ray Donovan" and was immediately disappointed the graphic was not of Liev Schreiber
Love the sourcefed reference
I normally don't care about celebrities or drama, but kudos to Billie for not backing down. So much drama often concludes with someone taking back what they said and apologizing profusely or giving a passive-agressive response and saying "I'm sorry my words hurt your feewings." It's refreshing to see someone own up to their hypocrisy but still stand their ground.
Also, while I think Commment Commentary is fun to right out and makes more sense, I really like Yesterday, Today. Maybe it's the way it rolls off the tongue. Maybe it's because the sylables of the words decrease instead of increase. I dunno, but those are my thoughts on it
Keep it as Yesterday Today please, its more unique
In regards to the Vinyl situation, this is nothing new to a K-pop fan. Its been happening for decades already for Korean charts. K-pop albums always come in multiple variants, sometimes up to 12 different variants with specific members gracing the cover. Collectors like myself go crazy and get every one because we want to fill out that collection. This definitely boosts sales. If you look at some of the K-pop acts that graced Billboard charts recently like TWICE, they had 3 variants of the basic album, plus 3 Vinyl variants, plus 9 Digipack versions, and more if you bought the Korea-only variants.
That Chinese Mob story was insane. I had zero idea but apparently anything can happen these days smh
Okie here! We live in the middle of nowhere and we are surrounded by grow houses. My husband is a surveyor so he’s been around most of the properties. There are a lot of crazy long buildings with hundreds of doors where they keep the workers. They have lots of giant dogs and razor wire all around. More cameras than seems reasonable. There was one that was raided while he was still finishing the survey and they brought out bus loads of women that were being kept there. It truly has gotten out of hand and our legislators haven’t been listening to us for years. We, the people, saw this coming and were begging for more clarity in the law before it was even passed but they didn’t care. It was all very rushed and we are struggling now to play catch up.
9:54 Hey that's the Judge that saw her old friend from school and he broke down when she talked about him.
K-pop is so guilty of doing the multiple versions. K-pop will have 3+ versions of each album plus versions for each member. Some groups have had 40 versions for a singular album. It's a cash grab and horrible especially because album collecting is a big part of the K-pop fandom
Enjoyed your content 4 years ago. Peace
Phil had his own Glorg moment.
WUBBY WUBBY WOO!!!
Glad to have you back in the dungeon from your Bringer of Sadness tour Phil!
I've never been here 12 seconds after the video does up...but here we are
😂
Have a cookie
I see the editor offset the camera centering just to mess with us for April 1st. Well played. Well played indeed.
I think the collectible albums are really cool. The whole physical media market is turning towards collectibility because ppl who want a physical edition are usually fans who want something more than the standard fare, otherwise they would just stream the album.
Is there evidence that vinyl records largely contribute to pollution? I'd imagine that since they're more often considered luxury and/or collectors items and thus less likely to be thrown away.
I’ll keep this short, but I worked in Oklahomas industry since it launched. Off the book sales were and remain standard practice, regulation were virtually nonexistent at launch and the state did move slow to impose guardrails with the hopes of a collapse of the industry but it just facilitated all the illegal activity. I just don’t want people to lose sight of the fact our leaders in Oklahoma were happy let things burn because that didn’t agree with the 788.
keep covering Haiti❤
Didn’t realize that Vinyl became so popular its mainstream again but I’m kinda glad it is.
