The fact we have separate Healthcare for vision and dental health absolutely baffles me. These two things most definitely are part of health
Dental problems can kill and glasses are a disability aid! It’s absolutely ridiculous that those are considered separate from standard healthcare.
Right? How the fuck am I supposed to drive to work if I can’t see. I had a heart attack the other day when my glasses frame broke a screw cause i knew it is expensive to get a new pair
Eyes are luxury organs
@@Ironcorgi2you can probably find a glasses repair set at a drugstore or on Amazon
And in Canada; our universal health care DOES NOT cover eyes or teeth beyond a small amount covered before you turn 18
Bro it’s CRAZY that the U.S Immigration Office is immune from paying reimbursements even if you sue them. The system is made to be as lazy as possible without any consequences.
If you think that's crazy just remember that federal agents especially ice can legally violate your civil rights if you're within 100 miles of a land or sea border. We lost a lot of rights after 9-11
They flip a coin to see who comes thru
Rules for thee but not for me.
A friend of mine who is working at immigration office says it's the best job you could ever have some days he is just on his phone watching tiktok and youtube.
Silicon valley has no problem bringing in underpaid indentured servants from India though
My wife paid for one of her cousins eye surgery in Afghanistan. I think we sent about $200. After the surgery she was so happy to see how beautiful the world was and was in tears when they spoke.
I hope your wife lives a blessed life. Giving someone the chance to SEE is beautiful. You've got a keeper sir.
@@krystinaxxlea what's even more crazy is that we had to do this quietly because her father would have pocketed the money if he found out SMH
@EhsOfBass ugh sometimes our families can be a problem. I'm so sorry they have to deal with that situation but so thankful it worked out for her cousin's benefit. It's so sad to think that her uncle would rather pocket 200$ instead of allowing his child to receive the gift of sight at no cost to him! I'm sure your wife's cousin is so happy and thankful she had someone she could trust that would help her out. That's such a beautiful bond.
Optician here. Fun fact there was a product that made it to clinical trials in the form of eye drops that staved off presbyopia. A pharmaceutical company (that I won't name from fear) bought the rights and shelved it. It has not had another study because glasses and contacts pull in more money... Greed always wins it seems.
There seems to already be some drops for presbyopia on the market that have come out in the recent years. Why would a pharmaceutical company shelf a product that would be used regularly by the patients, like would you not make BANK with a patented new eyedrop, compared to reading glasses that people by a couple pairs off from the drugstore that don’t cost nothing and the pharm company probably doesn’t even make themselves? Is presbyopia often corrected with contact lenses? I thought it’s mainly glasses.
@@enenenergp I agree his claim lacks water. Prescription eyedrops can be pretty fkn expensive. Ask anyone with glaucoma, which is primarily managed with prescription eyedrops.
And to answer your question on presbyopia; no, it can’t really be corrected with contacts. See the “stiffening” of the eye’s lenses simply impares focus accommodation. Like reading a book and seeing the letters in focus 2 ft from you vs street sign yards away as your drive. That ability to adjust your eye’s focus, is what’s lost as the eye ages - your distance vision is about the same, but you’ll gradually lose the ability to see up close. That’s why grandparents need the font size blown up on their cell phones. So an easy solution is reading glasses, that change the focus of their eye to make near objects clear. Put’em on when you’re reading or knitting or anything that requires seeing up close to you. You could give them contacts that do the same thing in theory, but you just wouldn’t want to… because then you wouldn’t be able to make out things in the distance at all. Everything more than 5 ft from your face would just be horrendous blurry. So reading glasses are the easiest, most practical, and cheapest way to deal with presbyopia.
After a few years the lens will continue to stiffen until it becomes a cataract and require surgery to correct. Cataract surgeries will improve vision drastically, but the accommodation will still be lost.
Edit: typo
@@daveanaitor Thanks for a more detailed explanation, pretty much confirmed what I thought. I’m more familiar with pharmaceuticals than eye care and eye physiology. I can imagine a pharm company nefariously shelving something that would be a one-off fix for something that now requires long term medication (like say if a company found a one off cure for migraine and the same company was making a lot of money with their triptanes or gepants) but if they have a chance to get ahead of another company for long term treatment of a chronic condition it’s hard to see why they wouldn’t release it. They could have shelved it if they ran into issues with clinical studies or the results just weren’t satisfactory in a real life setting on humans. Or maybe the drug molecule was already on the market and out of patent and they knew other companies were racing to do the same and just gave up, thinking they won’t make enough profit (so I’m not saying profit isn’t a factor, ofc it is, the whole process of getting a finished product is very expensive ofc they want a lot of profit).
It is such a crazy defense to say "we didn't deny your right to marriage because you can go to another country", like what? You could literally make that defense to trample ANY right. Ours rights are about things we are allowed to do HERE.
Don't like it? Why don't you leave! (Jk, I just wanted to finally say that)
Dumb comment. It's a legal fact ,there literally saying there not stopping them from getting married. Just stopping him from coming into country, two completely different things. Everyone just wants things to be easy for them nowadays, and cry about it. Everyone's thinks there the star in life and we're all supporting cast 😂. Swear the world gone soft
@@dougdoesitgood They ARE MARRIED she wants her husband here. They are saying live elsewhere.
@@TrustMelDontCareI really wish I could leave 😆 😭
@@dougdoesitgood if that was their counter argument then my comment wouldn't exist. My issue was with the phrasing of their counter argument. That being that they weren't removing her **right to marriage because** they could go somewhere outside of the US. There should never be any sentence phrased "you still have x right because you can go to different x country to do x thing". That defeats the entire purpose of what a right is.
The US immigration system is a joke. It took my case 10 years to process, and only got processed the day after I emailed threatening to sue. Even then, I missed so many opportunities in my university because I didnt have my greencard that shouldve been processed 5 years ago.
10 yrs!!!!! omg
Try being a US born citizen who's paid taxes for over 20 years and can't even get partial disability without a lawyer and 10 years. I couldn't imagine going to another country that I have done nothing for and demanding things. Only in America.
Only 10? 😂 Sorry. I used to coordinate with an immigration lawyer for family law cases when we had cases in common. There was one client that got denied because the clerk didn't see some paperwork that WAS completed and there long before the deadline. By the time we met, they had already been in 8 years. The family law case took 2 years and they were still waiting. After our case was done, I didn't keep up with them but they didn't even have their post-appealed case docketed despite apparently having all their paperwork in place. I felt so bad for them. They probably could have kept their family together if their money hadn't been having to go to a lawyer for a decade (because the case starts before you file) and being able to make meaningful contact that didn't cost either hundreds of dollars a day or tens of hours of driving with kids to meet near the border for the day--for YEARS--to break up video chatting. My heart broke for them. They really did love each other but the world was so much bigger than them and just crushed them.
Maybe it was different for refugees, but it also took 13 years for our green cards to arrive. We were basically integrated into the U.S. at that point. That same year we applied for citizenship.
@@ApocalypticSigns I've paid more in taxes to this country than you have. Not being a US citizen doesn't mean you don't get taxed.
I clapped for the editor that had to find video of a blind driver on a turnabout for the glasses story, kudos my friend, your efforts weren't unnoticed.
I love that video! It's called "BLIND MAN PRANK (REMI GAILLARD)" by @nqtv
As a Brazilian who lives in Rio Grande do Sul, the most affected state in the country by the floods, i appreciate that you covered the story. more rain is expected to come for the next week and me and all my family live next to the giant river that is flooding. there is no escape, we're just hopping houses of relatives wherever there's electricity. we dont even hope for running water anymore, its just so sad. luckily most of us live in tall buildings.
the worst was that i was close to one of the more affected areas in the capital but lucky enough to be in a street a little higher than the river. had no phone signal at all, water or electricity and no car to get help with a family member. had to wait days to be able to contact someone who would order an uber for me. the worst part is the not knowing, in the era of information being in a blackout away from everyone you know is terrifying.
Glasses are a disability aid, and it's so easy to forget that when you have the accessibility to it. If I even misplace them I go into a panicked frenzy. I could not function without them, and I'm all for making glasses more accessible around the world.
I’m an optometric tech here in the states, the amount of people over the age of 45 who come in without having their eyes examined in more than 5 years with visual acuity 20/40 or higher is terrifying. My job has taught me that we may not have as many bad drivers as we think but people just plain can’t see. No to mention over the age of 60 with risk of cataracts, macular degeneration, and glaucoma also effecting peoples vision. PSA, get an eye exam at least every couple of years after the age of 50 even if you can see. Not just for your benefit but people around you!
Don't they have to pass an eye test every time they renew their license? I know you had to in the two states I've had a drivers license in.
@@3xceIIent In Texas you usually only have to do an in person renewal every other time. So someone could go quite a few years without an eye exam.
@3xceIIent it varies by state but usually 4 years. The tests are not very thorough, and you can still pass with relatively bad vision as long as you wear contacts or glasses.
Absolutely get checked; I had to nag my mother into getting checked years ago and she ended up needing bifocals but grateful. (she's progressed to trifocals)
So, if a person is near sighted, and this happens to them... Do they just sort of balance out? Or do you steadily go blind..? Asking for a friend.
The UN needs to take real action against these horrific leaders who are committing war crimes.
Thank you for bringing the eye problems to the public. Great story and so well done. These types of stories are my favorite.
I'm all for nicknames and short hand, but referring to Moist Critickal as "Moist" instead of "Critickal" or "Charlie" or even "Penguin Zero" is a hell of a choice.
100% Phil just wanted to see how many times he could say moist
It showed ‘moist esports’ on the screens so I’m assuming he just used what Charlie used himself
he called him charlie at the end of the segment, i think he just likes calling him moist
Honestly I'd rather just stop hearing about him all together.
Arianna??? What are you doing here 🤣🤣
The Moist Critikal U.S. Immgiration lawsuit is not only huge for Moist Critikal, but it could also potentially push forward the largest demand for Immigration reform. The system is beyond broken, and MUST be fixed, as this has affected many lives in many negative ways.
It's disgusting what Charlie & his team had to go through to just play in this past tournament.
@@munkustrap2 The worst part is these guys were well known professional players for a league. Imagine what the average person has to go through. Its unacceptable utter insanity
I think it's really cool seeing RUclipsrs take on the government, first with Hoss vs Klein and now Moist Critikal vs US Immigration
lol glad you onl;y care about gamers having problems with going to a tournament and literally nothing else to do with actual immigration laws
That's cute that you think the government cares about being sued by a youtuber. Nothing will change.
If it is that difficult for comparatively well-known athletes for a legitimate sports team to even visit the US, imagine how horrible immigration is for everyone else.
As someone who has worn glasses for over 20 years (nearsighted), I was devastated when my daughter managed to grab and break my only pair.
I had to adapt for almost a year, due to Covid, without aid. It was awful, but I eventually adjusted fully and thought I was fine.
Finally got new glasses, and I almost cried when I realized how poor my vision was. Glasses are an absolute life saver, and I will forever advocate the need for eye exams and AFFORDABLE corrective assistance, whether it be glasses, contacts, or surgery.
As an Optometrist I can personally testify that countless times I’ve come across patients that drive with vision well below what is deemed safe. And I’ve seen the children’s life take a 180 after finally being evaluated and provided the necessary vision correction. Also not many people are aware of the importance of early eye exams. Many assume their kid sees well as they have no “complaints” but many children don’t realize what “good” vision is.
As an optometrist my advice is it’s never too early for an eye exam! At least have your children evaluated when they’re still toddlers 3-6 years so that we can see the trajectory of their vision while they grow. Or atleast before they go into daycare or school to make sure they are prepared.
I have a 2 month old... when should their first appointment be?
To be fair, it doesn't help general doctors tell kids just to read off a sheet from so many feet away and say they are good. For some insurance, you have to have a referral to get into an actual eye doctor. But if they do those "test" and say they are good, you aren't going to get to a doctor 🙃 people just say "oh well, doctor said I'm fine so it's fine" when those tests aren't accurate. I GUESS LOL letters/numbers are blurry, but I can tell by basic shapes what it is, boom doc says I'm good.
@@enelezed454are you fr? Become a better parent already. They said toddler age to have a first visit
My ex drives/drove without aids and I saw the doctor tell him not to drive without glasses because he can’t see his past arms length.
@@Zzz2xchill
Yo, why are most Eyewear companies owned by one guy?? Do we, or do we not have anti monopoly laws in this country?
We do but you can lobby politicians to write laws in ways that leave massive holes your monopoly can slip through without issue as well
I see what's going on
We used to have a lot more before Raegan
antitrust laws are just suggestions at this point
We do but not the politicians to wield them. Lobbies have way too much control in this country
Love how much of your nerdiness is seeping into your vid’s Phil! Please do continue this trend!
Hey Let's go! you mentioned Kenya! I live in Nairobi, and I can confirm that the flooding has been terrible. But most of the issues tend to stem from infrastructure. Places that are better developed have not been having as much issues as the poorer areas. but the rain is still crazy.
I’ve worked as a travel agent in Australia and assisted people getting ESTAs.
I was told be the consulate here that you can be denied for an simple of a reason as having the same name as a felony or someone on the no fly list.
One of my clients was denied because one of her grandfathers was Iranian. Every other relative was Australia born and raised. This required her to go through a huge process to get a visa even though she had never even had left Australia before.
Yeah Charlie is unfortunately not going to get any traction on his case but yes reform needs to take place
U.S. Immigration is so annoying to deal with. I have 3 friends that have been here for YEARS (they were on student visas and are trying to get their work visas) Their lawyers all said they have a great case, they’re essential at their jobs and they check all the boxes, but they’re still having problems and have had to reapply. It’s insane
they would be in a deportation holding cell in any other country
Tell them to come on through the southern border and claim refugee status... seems to be working for 10's of thousands of migrants every week
I mean, the guys he's talking about in the video got into Canada just fine, because unlike whatever stoner who was working at US immigration that day, they figured out that allowing international competitions requires letting international competitors compete. In fact, they even got into the US eventually so there was nothing wrong with them being there. But please, tell me more about how incompetent government officials can sit around not doing their jobs while we still have to pay them with our taxes. @@colinalia
Yeah if you don't have the level of abuse you'd have a reasonable system
@heatherscompletelackofchil6127 you're kidding yourself. Canadians even ndp commies are sick of the abuse of the immigration system.
Goodjob running the marathon Phil! Your dedication to your craft is very much appreciated :D
Thank you for being here Phil 🫶🏾💕🌸🫂
For anyone that doesn't know Drake's home is basically a landmark in Toronto. People go visit all the time and take pictures in the street in front of it.
When my mom passed away 10 years ago, we donated all her glasses to a charity that send them to poorer countries and match them with people that need them. A much better option than just throwing them away.
Thanks for sharing, I never thought something like that existed
@@EmpressoftheMoon I seen them when I went to my childhood eye doctor. I think I still have a few old pairs laying around my childhood home and I'll encourage my family to donate theirs.
this type of thing is also what destroyed the african textile industry
@@TheLilKonthat's not quite the same thing though.
I'd imagine you're talking about the shoe thing right?
I had no idea you were on Spotify! Thank you for sharing today!
thanks for the episode phil
One random piece of feedback: I enjoy how the show starts with a small summary of a few stories that will be covered. I know it was brought back in recent uploads, but like it as a start of the show
Long-time Kenyan viewer here.
Thank you for highlighting the floods that are wrecking us right now. There's a tropical storm that has hit East Africa and the damage, not just in Kenya but Tanzania and the Comoros as well, is growing day by day.
P.S. some of the twitter account clips used in the segment are NOT from Kenya. I think you can see Chinese characters in one of them.
I was going to say the same that clip isn't Kenya
I was wondering where in Kenya that is
The whole world is watching and praying for Kenya!
I had to fight for years to get glasses for my nearsightedness, my prescription is very minor but I was getting headaches, couldn't read the board in class, etc. It was life changing to finally get glasses and not have to strain so hard for everything. I hope this movement takes off and reading glasses become easily accessible everywhere.
love the defrancostache
The U.S immigration process is absolutely shit. Just coming back from studying abroad I was pulled aside for an hour to ask why I was coming into the country. I was carrying my textbooks and said I studied abroad. They asked me why and I just ??? To learn a foreign language?? I got in after that but to see they were so brain dead with us citizens coming back I can only imagine how hard it is for people coming to america.
You can say I am being overdramatic or they are just doing their job. But I can only answer “I am a student studying aboard” so many times that it becomes exhausting to explain. I can be not okay with being questioned for an hour because it was my experience.
People get brutalized daily.
So ironic seeing all these comments because Republicans will have you believe everyone is coming into the country from all over without any checks. Anyone can come. From anywhere.
I think it’s fine they asked you questions for an hr nothing is wrong with that
@@booytoyy69if only they were as strict with the southern border
They pulled aside a classmate of mine at university twice because she had a duel citizenship, being born in the Ukraine/Russia border but then her family fleeing when she was very young. (So she has been a US citizen for over a decade plus.) It was sick of them treating her like she was some prop, when she just lost her cousin in the Russian invasion of Ukraine days prior.
it occurred to me today that i’ve been watching you regularly for nearly two decades, literally since i was in middle school and i turn 30 this year and i’m just so grateful i’ve gotten to grow with your content. thank you for all that you do man
Same here!
22:46 😂😂 Thank you Phil's editor for this Rémi GAILLARD B-roll
Thanks Phil (and staff).
As a blind person living in the US with a government job teaching other blind people how to use technology so they can finally work and make a living and not rely on the sub-par wages given by disability, it sucks to see people who can have their livelyhoods fixed with such ease not able to have access to these remedies. It's difficult enough finding services or resources that can help those of us with no possibility of gaining our sight back, but it just strikes a nerve that people who can have their lives back with a simple fix like glasses, just have no access. Sure, I wanna tell that little kid you can still fly a kite unable to see, but the fact that there's such a lack of resources or a lack of knowledge about them, just hurts my brain. And these resources could affect everyone, disabled or not.
That feels silly.
true also reminds me of that mr. Beast video where he paid for a bunch of peoples surgeries to get their eyesight back, and it was relatively doable price, but so many people just do not have the funds. It’s sad that so many people live with no vision when the surgery could turn their life around 😢
It's disgusting how "fans" of this beef are saying it was set up or joking about someone being shot. People tend to distance from reality and lose morality when it comes to their entertainment... 🤦♂️
remember the roman colosseums?
As a former security guard i 💯 agree
When 90s nostalgia goes wrong
Modern day Idol Worship, I mean you got one of the two involved in this beef wearing a crown of thorns like he's Jesus...
But Drake is a predator
Hi Phil, I just wanted to say thank you for talking about vision, loss issues and glasses as a college didn’t struggle from vid loss. I always run into problems with getting anything accommodated and with any itty-bitty things being a struggle and a fight since companies don’t want to test out their software properly with reading software.
Love it when you cover stories from around the world Phil! As a Canadian most of the news we hear are from Canada and the US. I didn't even know about all these crazy weather events around the world. That flood in Kenya is is terrifying. Shows just how powerful water can be
The second last story about providing reading glasses is arguably one of the most important stories that people need to understand. Absolutely eye opening story, completely blew my mind.
I'm 51, I'm going blind. I was diagnosed at 34 with Macular Degeneration. It is terrible not seeing well. I don't drive for fear of killing someone. I can't imagine why we wouldn't want to help people with poor eyesight. It's a terrifying world when you can't see well.
My grandma has had MD since a similar age. She largely was able to do the traditional housewife thing. Not being able to drive has always been the main issue I think. I can’t imagine how hard it is to deal with now since most women [need to] work. And in my grandma’s case, she’s also “lucky” because my grandpa would never leave her due to her disability and medical conditions (she also survived a ruptured brain aneurysm).
Hope you have or can find the right types of supports.
wow! i didn’t realize everyone else was getting rain too. i’m in alberta & we have gotten warnings about possible flooding & heavy rainfall. that’s really saying something since we here are known for the dry dry land that isn’t good for growing anything in.
it’s scary hearing the rain smack our windows but i can’t imagine what those folks are going through. i send my prayers out to those dealing with the horrific flooding
Keep growing that stash bro. Looking good.
as someone who lived at the mercy of immigration officers for years on a series of annual work visas, it is an incredibly frustrating process. unlike almost every other legal system, there's almost no framework for requirements of behavior, outcome, or decorum for immigration agents or officers. i've been flat-out told by my immigration lawyer to be extra nice, because if an immigration officer doesn't like me they don't need to even give a reason to deny me, and apparently an agent having a bad day has no reason they technically can't deny every application they receive that day. it's absolutely insane that we give people so much power to upend people's lives without even requiring a reason, and as moist mentioned any recourse is incredibly expensive and the most plaintiffs can hope to gain in court is the approval they should have received to begin with. it's beyond frustrating that you can do everything right and still have your whole life up in the air because of someone's mood on the day you submit your application. and btw, when you get denied for no reason, you don't get that money back, and these applications are not cheap.
Exactly! And I didn’t even know there was any legal recourse we could take. An immigration officer has also “joked” with me that I must be wearing my Stanford hoodie to try to convince them I really went to school there. And I had to just awkwardly laugh as he checked the documentation right in front of him that indicated I went to school there. Like I just don’t get why it’s ok to taunt ppl like that or imply that I’m trying to trick you when I’m literally wearing my college hoodie at the airport. Felt like it was all about a power trip.
I'm honestly exhausted how basic, moral issues - especially ones that are simple solutions - having to be paired with monetary profit. Wtf happened to us that a large amount of people need that context?
Capitalism, comrade
Because the instant you imply society should do things not for a profit motive people call you a communist, socialist and Marxist despite being incorrect but they say it loudly and confidently that people believe them
“Effective altruism”
@@Ironcorgi2 yeah. It's depressing people don't even use 3 seconds to critically interrogate "Boogeyman words"

Thanks for the news
People don't understand guns are illegal in Toronto... If somebody has one, they are not a random fan concerned about internet beef.
I was just thinking that. I live in Scotland and we don't have guns either. I've never even seen a real gun before and I'm 34! But I was thinking.... Does drake not live in Canada? And a lot of provinces don't allow guns? So... That would be like a "random" shooting in Scotland! A random shooting here would be HUGE HUGE news. Someone must be OUT for him!
@@Leleche Blame the prevalence of guns in the US and our super easy to cross unguarded border, longest unguarded border in the world and we have a ton of illegal guns crossing the border then the criminals use them in shootings and get like 5 years behind bars, should be 40 years mandatory minimum to dissuade the baddies from using guns. Canada has a gun problem, but nowhere near the 150 firearm related murders a day and one mass shooting every day according to shooting tracker website like in the USA
Eww
Guns aren't illegal here you just need to register and go through a process. I know you probably probably mean handguns, which are more tightly restricted but even they are not illegal for the most part. Canadians have tons of guns. Don't kid yourself.
And if someone has a gun, they don't care if it's illegal. It's as if guns laws only leave guns in the hands of criminals.
As a young child, I was a problem kid and was brushed aside as a quiet but bad student. When I was in 3rd grade, I got my first pair of glasses and literally went to the first in class within a month. Within a few months, I had friends for the first time. Graduated valedictorian from high school, now an optometrist myself and I specialize in pediatric eye care. From both my personal experience and my professional experience, eye care is LIFE CHANGING. Glasses change lives. Get your kids eyes checked even before school. Kids don’t know what they can’t see. Also, if you have a baby, check out the Infantsee program - free eye exams for all children before their first birthday in the US.
Seriously, I got glasses for the first time in 5th grade and I will forever remember staring at a tree, seeing the depth of all the leaves for the first time and really internalizing this massive shift in how I saw the world without even realizing what I had been missing. I am so thankful my parents got my vision checked and I got the tools I didn't know I needed until I could literally see the difference.
I'm so glad to know how to help people. It seems a rare thing to feel like a single donation can make an actual difference. Thank you for giving time to the reading glasses shortage.
28:29 I was literally doing my daily 100 pushups when i heard your challenge. Lol
I need a legal eagle video about the Moist situation
It's pretty much going to go: "Yeah, US Immigration is failing to follow their own policies as well as the policies set upon them, but no accountability has been taken, and none will likely be taken unless the Supreme Court decides it, and even *then* not a lot is going to happen :/"
Naww
Immigration to USA relies not only on paperwork: income, background check, professional history and most importantly a “vibe check” from the interviewer. Anyone who had to get a visa knows that their application depends on the mood of the interviewer/agent
Yepppp so well said
Loving Phils start of a pedro stash. Heres hoping volume will follow
Literally playing Hades as you mentioned this, excited to try the second entry!
I remember when I was younger I was a C student and couldn't quite make out what was on the board, I had to squint really hard. After getting glasses and being able to see better, I became an A student. Glasses completely changed my life.
My wife I went through the green card process in a little over two years. We were two of the lucky ones. I've come to the conclusion that the dysfunctional nature of the US immigration system is very much by design to actually encourage illegal immigration. However, it's not because of some BS "great replacement" theory nonsense. It's a lot simpler. Certain industries in the US prefer hiring undocumented people because (A) They can be paid significantly less and (B) more importantly, they're a lot less likely to raise a fuss or advocate for better treatment because of deportation. Companies in certain industries want workers they can completely control and who they don't have to pay well and this is one big way they get that labor.
I'm currently looking into this as my fiance is in a different country and we are more and more disheartened every day about his process to finally come here - going above board is so discouraged it's ridiculous. Of course we're going to, but he doesn't even has his VISITERS visa interview until next year. He was "in line" for it for a year before that. This is a heartbraeaking nightmare. I hope we can get lucky I just don't see how.
To add to your second point, the threat of calling in immigration and being deported is actually acted upon frequently by business owners, especially in the agricultural and meat industries. There are lots of reports and records of this happening, including from Human Rights Watch. The only consequence to the owners is a small, negligible fine. There is a massive, if not endless, supply of undocumented workers for them to hire replacements from, all of whom will be paid poverty wages and just as fearful of advocating for their rights and safety (and justifiably so). Without access to legal recourse, fair pay, or the ability to advocate for themselves, migrant workers are forced into living as second class citizens in a permanently- and purposefully-maintained underclass or face the cruelty and inhumanity of US immigration policy.
@@Faeree I’m sorry to hear that. It’s infuriating. I’m hoping the best for you!
Creating bureaucracies so we can make a lot of government jobs that require little more than a high school diploma, if that, is our specialty in the US. That way we can pass around paperwork in a mediocre system that barely functions where no one really has the appropriate training or authority to really do anything or fix anything. Welcome to the US government. Please fill this form out again, we understand you may have submitted it before, but at this time we have not received it or we are still processing it. Then fill out these other 15 forms just in case. Now hurry up and wait.
Phil and I rocking matching corner moustache wiskers 😂
My cousin’s fiancé who’s from Italy has been waiting to get her citizenship for 2 years. They would’ve gotten it done a year ago but someone at DoI had lost all her paperwork and she had to do it again and wait another year
I hope the security guard recovers well and gets a fat bag for his trouble.
He will be gifted a 17 yr old from Drake

Sometimes like this that I remember toy soldiers by Eminem. No matter how far this rap beef goes it should never go so far that one side is pulling out a gun on the other.
Agreed
I mean, beef is beef. Hate can brew and come out, disrespect can cross boundaries, and if that happens what you gonna do? As soon as they got into it, it was real..
As someone that had to deal with USCIS for immigration proceedings for 6 years, it is absolute hell. It really does depend on whether your agent likes you or not, and when you call the info line they often give you information that is contradictory or lacking.
Love the Remi clip used during the visual impairment section
I got my first glasses in 2nd grade as I could not see the board in the front row. It was life changing and I still vividly remember it. My vision is now considered severely impaired and I often think I would have likely just been dead by now if I had been born hundreds of years ago.
I didn't get mine until 6th grade, but yeah, without my glasses, I'm legally blind. If there's any kind of apocalypse, we're all screwed the second we pull a Velma and trip.
I got mine in first grade for the same reason! when i first got them i kept taking them on and off to compare the difference and i was amazed with the change that the glasses gave. my mom still feels bad for not taking me to the optometrist sooner lol.
@@Tiamonster13 Did you also stare at leaves?
@@DerpDevilDD I keep extras for this reason, most of my old pairs, and generally more than a year of contacts at a time. But yea I think about that a lot for every kind of little thing. Basic meds that are plentifully and very much needed for survival for so many people.
@@TheFabled1 I have four extra pairs of glasses in my home and one in my car. But I know I'm not going to have any of them with me when I'm out scavenging for supplies and happen to trip. lol
I have severe asthma, tho. So, once the steroids run out, I'm dead anyway.
Title sounds like Drake leaned out the window himself
With how bad Kendrick's been roasting him, I'm surprised he didn't 😂
22:26 this choice of B-roll is so unhinged LMAO
over and over again they’re told there’s a “safe zone” and are killed there. why do we watch them do crime after crime to innocent civilians
As of today, I've completed 8,960 pushups since January 1st on the Road to 25,000 by the end of the year. We got this, Phil.
I always said, the dude who lost his glasses in the mummy would be me. 😂 😂
I only have myopia, so I can at least do the close-up stuff so my concerns are more about driving and stuff. But I'd definitely also be that guy because once you're 5' out and you're not something large like a car? I'm the failed witness in My Cousin Vinney (the funny Twelve Angry Men) 😂
@@OGimouse1 😂 omg iconic scene!
😢L{
My immediate thought was what happened to him after he lost his glasses and I must say I really hope not
This show keeps getting better and better, been a fan since day one and my god how things have changed! Philly D knows how to do it ✌️
Thanks
As far as the Drake shooting a few things are notable. First, Drakes address has been public knowledge for some time now. Second, The Weeknds managers bodyguard was shot just last week. The speculation is that camps OVO and XO are at odds with each other rather than Kendrick and Drakes beef getting out of hand.
💯 Thank you! Yep, it is definitely more likely this has to do with The Weekend. Also, why would Kendrick be involved, he won.
Yeah, I find it highly unlikely that the cover art has anything to do with it. Drake has openly said he lives in Bridle Path and anyone can just google his address. Kendrick didn't doxx him.
As a Canadian who lived in the Philippines for a year, the draught is a massive deal. When it is the dry season, rolling blackouts are a regular occurrence and last from 2-6 hours at a time. So even if you have an air conditioner, unless you have a generator, it won't do you any good.
Flashing back on the east coast/west coast hip hop fueds of the 90s.
Last story pretty damn fascinating. Many thanks for it.
I was talking to my coworker yesterday about our immigration system in Australia. She's trying to get permanent residency and applied for an interview back in November, meanwhile it seems like her boyfriend will be sent back to his home country because he's dropped out of uni courses two times and is now studying nursing. But because he hasn't been consistent with what he's doing on his visa, it's unlikely immigration will consider him for PR. I also worked with someone who didn't see his wife for 3 years because she struggled to get a visa here. It's heartbreaking and infuriating what people not from Aus have to go through just to live in Aus.
Pretty common stuff in Canada as well. Unfortunately, most of my older relatives will tell you that getting PR or citizenship is really easy, they're letting everyone in and it's ruining the country. I worked with a guy who was here for 6 years before he was able to bring his wife and kids over. Worked with another women who had been here for 3, couldn't get her husband so she moved back.
Israel out here saying
“An eye for an eye.” Then taking half the face….
If they hadn't been occupying and brutalising for the last 80 years, maybe the eye for an eye thing would have some credibility
You really want to make a deal woth Hamas?!?!
@@WhoLetTheDogOut where did I say that?
What I really want is to stop killing innocent people in the name of “stopping” terrorism.
Saying that doesn’t equal I’m with Hamas…
Also, Israel would be making a deal with Palestine, not Hamas.
Palestine doesn’t equal Hamas either.
@TibbarTheRabbit 19:55? Is that what you were referring to?
I was going to use your seatgeek link but as soon as i put in your code the price went from like 700 for two seahawks vs lions tickets to over 800. Your link boosts the price
me when I'm Phil DeFranco and it's a day: I have so much news
The flooding in Brazil is terrible; I have a bunch of coworkers who live in Porto Alegre (still safe!) and I’m so sad for them. They’re supposed to get more catastrophic weather starting tomorrow 😰
Climate change
Please cover what’s happening in Sudan🇸🇩🙏🏿
The story about glasses hit me so close to home. I grew up in a low income part of L.A. in schools that were absolutely not equipped to handle the needs of all the children they had. I had no idea that the reason I couldn’t read, and didn’t learn until I was 9 and in foster care being homeschooled, was because I couldn’t see the books. I thought I was bad at using my eyes, and the resources to help guide me through that didn’t exist… and that’s here in the US, I can imagine having to go through my whole life without the aid of a tool that literally helps me survive life and it fills me with so much sadness and fear for those who go through life that way every day. Didn’t expect that story to leave me feeling so lucky and also so grateful and privileged.
Love the intro!
That 100 pushups/sit ups challenge is also your Solo Leveling daily quest. Don't forget to do it or the Shai-Hulud/Graboids will get you.
As a visually impaired person, I love what Chris said about trying to maximize the vision people do have. It really hurts my heart to see how hard it is for people to get glasses in other parts of the world. Here in the US, I volunteer with a council to help improve employment outcomes for people with visual impairments and it’s hard enough here with the access we do have. I can’t imagine what it’s like somewhere where even glasses are hard to come by.
Thank you for highlighting this story and these organizations, Phil.
Love the Hades love 🙌🏾
Speaking on the weather story, today in Santiago, Chile for the first time in recorded history it snowed in May. And this right after we had one of the hottest Aprils
Kendrick shinned a spotlight on his home for anyone who doesn’t live in Toronto, but I live here, everyone knows where he lives and what his place looks like, it’s no secret. Even if you didn’t know, you’d just guess it’s in Bridle Path.
And Drake literally has a song with his town in tge title.
This is what I was thinking, he’s a celebrity so unfortunately where he lives is gonna be public information, so I don’t think Kendrick is entirely at fault here. Maybe to a certain extent he might be, in the sense that he highlighted Drake’s residence after people didn’t really think about it for a while or it was something that wasn’t in the forefront of their minds, but even so. Public info. It sucks that it is, but it’s just how things are and have been.
@@elarianaskyno one is blaming Kendrick tbf. XO (The Weeknds label (guess you could call it a gang considering what’s happened ) has been beefing with OVO for YEARS. On April 29th 2024 Cash XO (The Weeknds manager and manager of XO) his security was shot multiple times outside his house. Drake also dissed Cash on both Push Ups and Family matters.
The law passed against TikTok does smack of something that the US Constitution prohibits: a bill of attainder. A law that targets a single person or a single group of people. In this case, the people at TikTok. Article I, Section 9, Clause 3 states that "No Bill of Attainder or ex post facto Law shall be passed." And the next section, Article I, Section 10, prohibits state laws from doing the same. So while the First Amendment seems to prohibit this, another part of the constitution may as well.
Also the fact that other non social media companies do business with China here in the US......this actually is about US younger generations able to be either more opinionated and possibly more liberal or more conservative because of the posts influencing people. They'd rather control us youth.
oh my god that pic of phil doing the plank got me in HEAT
The b-roll of someone driving with a blind walking stick is hilarious
Phil is clearly hiding a VERY powerful moustache from us. Let it grow, brother.
I can't believe I had to scroll down this far to find someone else that spotted the upper lip growth, it's looking like it could turn into a proper big handle bar moustachio😂😂😂
the mustache returns !!! 💀
20:51 Love this teacher's insight 😅😅
Love the shirt, Phil, where's it from?
I know my country of honduras gets overlooked a lot and the one thing that has stood out in the states in regards to us is our president getting arrested in the USA and our caravans knocking at your border
But right now we are also having an environmental emergency with tons of smoke that cloud the sky and raise the temperature while choking our lungs
Specially for those with breathing problems and survivors of covid
I got my first pair of glasses when I was 7. In 6 months I went from requiring extra assistance for reading to reading at a 6th grade level. Poor vision can literally change your entire life trajectory. I cannot tell you how much confidence I gained when I could finally see clearly.
10:57 this is the first time i’ve ever heard EDC come out of Phil’s mouth. amazing , didnt think you could find those tickets on SeatGeek!
I would love to see more nerdy phil!!
