Trevor’s take is an amazing analogy of how much trash the world gets to dump on the planet and each other, because we as humans don’t have to carry around OUR OWN TRASH!!!
Planned obsolescence means manufacturers deliberately designing products to fail prematurely or become out-of-date, often to sell another product or an upgrade - a practice that is barred in some countries. 🤨
Yes, that's the new form of Capitalism.
I make shoes, and i've got footwear over forty years old and is still going.
I returned from Tokyo, 6/30. Very, very clean. Me and a friend did a go cart tour for 1.25hrs in Tokyo. I saw 1 paper flying and 1 leaf. No debris pushed against the curb. No glass fragments. It was amazing. I loved it. I told my friend we could never do this in any city in the USA and not have paper fly in our face.
so nice. And it can happen other places, we just need to all be committed to being clean.
However the Japanese don't give foreigners who give birth in Japan citizenship.
@@KarenHunterShow Yes Prof, I certainly agree.
Did you know Japan has bigger issues than trash or glass on the sidewalk???
I remember hearing the story about the first refrigerators sold in America. They sat down and talked about how they would continue to make money once everyone in America had a refrigerator. In classic form, they decided to make their product less reliable. This also allowed them to create a whole new source of income….appliance repair. I heard a similar thing about the lightbulb as well. Infuriating.
Yep, planned obsolescence is a crime against us and our environment
Our culture is all about consuming, buying , replace, getting something new, disposal of the inconsistent, fast food, fast solutions, having more more. And Avoiding consequences.
I lived and taught in Japan public school system for three years. Maybe the most impressive thing I saw was that the students were responsible for cleaning their classrooms and outside of their classroom hallways at the end of every day of school
It’s a great culture to experience in Japan, but largely their successes are difficult to replicate. Their successes are largely based on a homogenous community where certain things are suppressed or pushed down. The free talking free willing American culture would not stand for it. Our greatest strengths in America is tied to our greatest curses. The same can be said about Japan.
Planned obsolescence. Constant fashion changes. Advertising. Makes us crazy. Makes the earth a garbage pit. 😢
When I visited Yokohama back in 2007, I was actually amazed, seeing them sweep the streets in the front of their homes. 🙄 They really do have a clean city.
My Aunt is a DoD school teacher in Japan and absolutely loves it. All my cousins are grown so she rarely comes back to the States.
I grew up in Germany during the late 70s through the late 80s. #MilitaryBrat
@@ramseydone3556 Same- my dad was in the Army. We did two tours in Germany in the 80s. Absolutely loved it!
I have realatives who have lived in Japan 40 years only been home three times
I'm such an ole soul. When items don't last as long, I will figure out a way to repair things, myself (RUclips), twice before moving on. It's the principle
Me too always
Sir my patches, got patches. Agreed.
Now, some of these companies have designed their products so you can only get repairs through them. I used to repair Apple computers. You need specialty made tools to fix them.
@@bobyoung3857Right to repair is so important. Keep tabs on it 🙏🏽
You would fit in here in Germany lol. Germans would love you for your approach and invite you to Schnitzel, beer and pretzel
Sounds like a very civilized country. Amazing.
They have bidet toilet seats too, even in the public restrooms. I was on the fence about buying one & after visiting my son in Japan, I immediately ordered one when I returned to the US. Sold my house a couple of years later & the new owners were going to remodel the master bathroom, so I took the seat with me to my new house in the USVI & bought two more. Cleaner, less waste
yes to the bidet!
I love, love, love Japan, and I love Tokyo. It is very clean, very safe, and the culture is very respectful. Also, the technology is cutting edge. Bidets in public restrooms? Yes. I keep going back cuz it's a great trip every time, and every time I see a different part of Japan. Also, the fashion is awesome. I accidentally left my purse in the changing room of a boutique. It was there, untouched when I finally figured out where I'd left it - and it was busy in that store. Nothing missing!
Yes, Tokyo was so clean, and the people are super respectful. My family loved it when we visited 2019. We look forward to going back.
No trash and no credit scores!!!! This is making me think differently about Japan, Prof. Hunter!!!
Graveyard of the Fireflies is what its called. I watched that about 20 years ago. Excellent film.
*Grave. Beautiful movie, but I never want to watch it again. It's heartbreaking.
saddest movie i have every seen.
I love the Japanese shinkansen bullet trains. They run fast and comfy, they run on time, you can get to most places in the country by train. And then you can ride your bike and park it at a bicycle parking lot at a train station, catch your train, then hop back on you bike upon return and pedal off home. Don't even really need a car if you lived in most metropolitan areas.
Seoul has no trash cans either. It is also the cleanest city. I was carrying Starbucks cups till I got home.
I just visited Tokushima and Tokyo this past May, and it really is surprising to see how the trash is handled. During a tour, my co-worker and I asked the tour guide about the lack of trash cans, and he told us the story. I short, there was a terrorist attack years ago and the bomb was placed in the trashcan. After that, they were al removed. Imagine having a loss of life and actually doing something to prevent it from happening again. 🤔
I lived in Tokyo for 5 years and I absolutely LOOOOOVED IT. It shaped how I viewed a lot of things. I was there in my early 20s to mid 20s. I would spend the rest of days there. But it does have its downside.
What are some of the downsides?
@@Lakersman24you work like a robot.
@@Seeta_sa_gauta Thanks.
@@Lakersman24 like previously stated, the work culture is horrible. You have to constantly remember that you are not in your home country, and Japan does things differently. Japan is a homogeneous country, so finding community outside of Japanese people could be harder ( not impossible)
@@essencetaylor5956 Thank you for sharing.
I’ve lived a total of 3 years in Japan and my Wife has lived there a total of 5 years. We absolutely loved it. I lived in both Misawa and Yokota and my Wife Okinawa and Yokota. We’re both retired Air Force and let me tell you how wonderful Japan is… It’s clean, safe, and comfortable. We talk about moving there all the time in our quest to leave the United States. The only issue I had/have is property acquisition. I’m not the renting type, I need a house to call my own. I’ve heard they have made some changes to this and that non-citizens are now able to buy land/property but I have not verified that; I guess I’ll be looking into it today. 😂 In my experience, 🇯🇵Japanese people love Black culture more than they love Black people, but they are super respectful and do not really get into the nosiness and will not encroach upon your person. They will also not deny you anything based off your skin tone directly . They will however do this behind close doors and they will hide in plain sight. Example: They have several bars and restaurants that are well hidden that they will not allow anyone to enter, this includes Americans and Black people; but… It was never a bother as if your don’t want to drink with me or make money from me, it’s all good; just don’t disrespect my Family. Hope this helps! Loving the show by the way…
Nowadays, the durability of products seems to have decreased, with many items designed to last only a few years. Unfortunately, I have experienced this firsthand with my refrigerator, stove, and computer all breaking down within a short period. Despite spending a significant amount of money on repairs, the fixes did not last long, leaving me with no choice but to purchase new appliances.
If your refrigerator lasted 30 yrs, they would quickly go out of business. Back in the day, they continued to innovate and sell replacement parts. That same (internal parts) $200 refrigerator now sells for $1200 and you already know it has a reduced life-span and substandard warranty.
Correct me if I am wrong.
Hi Karen! I’m so glad you restocked your merch! I gotta get me something TODAY!
we will always have the logo merchandise. The drops are one of a kind.
RESPONSIBLE. ❤ that’s the conversation
I’m from south central Los Angeles, in my mid 30’s and went to Japan about 2-3 years ago. Great experience, people were generally nice or stayed to themselves, food was amazing and had plenty to do. It is one of the cleanest places I’ve been but they just use so much plastic.
When I lived in Okinawa in 1987 and I was living off-base, we were supposed to sort out trash and recycling. As an Entitled American, I didn’t sort until I noticed the trash collectors sorting my garbage at my curb. I was so shamed, I tried my best to follow the rules.
Great points made. I have gone through so many TVs and phones because they break if you look at them too hard now.
My cousins lives near Tokyo. He says it a beautiful country and has it issues. He waiting for me to come over to visit.
I was shocked at how bad the roads were in Michigan when I lived there in the 90s. I couldn't understand why they didn't have the best roads in the Motor Capital until I realized they want you to beat up your car & tires to buy more!
Who is “we” in the “we drop the atomic bomb on them?” It certainly was not AA’s. Let’s not overidentify with our oppressors.
america...are you an American. It's a "we"..not just when it's convenient, which is why you better participate to make sure "we" don't do something that hurts "us."
@@KarenHunterShowKaren, with all respect, it wasn’t “we” back then. AA didn’t even have full rights and couldn’t essentially vote when that bomb was dropped. Couldn’t even serve in integrated military units. Today yes, then no.
@@KarenHunterShowI'm gonna have to disagree with you on this one, Prof. I feel more along the lines of when Dr Carr states that we don't really have a nation; we have groups of peoples within geographical and political borders. The question is, can we build the nation we want, one that does in fact include not just a stake in, but influence in such momentous decisions?
@@karenl7786 are you leaving? If so, where are you going? I obviously believe we can build what we need here with the people who are willing to roll up their sleeves...I believe it's not just possible, it's very doable. And who has a nation? What nation right now has it all together?
I listened to Trevor Noah’s podcast about him and his friends trip to Japan. It was an interesting listen.
That is so true. We had a printer at work that was around for ages and it finally was going. They replaced it with a decent printer but you can tell the quality is not the same. It's crazy
Irony of this, yesterday lil dude was selling water on the street and threw trash on the ground. I gave him money and asked him to pick up his trash and put it in the garbage.
loved this very much. I too enjoy Anime. I always say that Ghost in the Shell anime series shows us the world's future. Looks like it is coming true.
4:20 It's called Planned Obsolescence, means manufacturers deliberately designing products to fail prematurely or become out-of-date, often to sell another product or an upgrade - a practice that is barred in some countries!
Went to tokyo in 2018 in April. AS a person period, it was sublime! As a black person? It was like being able to be human. Like a big weight was off.
Tokyo/japan itself is very very clean. At night, if u in like roppongi or shinjuku, it can get dirty from the late night goings, but guess who up early in the morning cleaning? Workers! Cus come tht morning, tht trash gonna be gone!
I keep hearing that. Thank you. Where did you stay?
@@KarenHunterShow my hostel was in asakusa, but I visited shibuya, roppongi, shinkuku, ginza, ueno, odaiba and akihabara. If u EVER get the chance, GO. U will not regret it, I promise u!!!♥️♥️♥️
@KarenHunterShow just saying too, omg, hearing yall talk bout Anime is soo crazy. I'm always surprised by those who like it. I love seeing all kinds,of people be fans♥️♥️🥺♥️. I love u, Karen, ur doing PHENOMENAL WORK! DONT LET NOBODY TELL U OTHERWISE! nd u was right bout tht situation in home depot! Lol
@@karlyn132 on my list!
I live in Tokyo and this is so true
Interesting
*LE SIGH*. Listen, Ive lived in Japan for more than a decade and have even got a Permanent Visa (Not a Citizenship Change). Im telling you, it can be nice. But I think there is wayyyyyy to much hidden under the rug that visitors can not see. Versus the reality. Japan is one of the most depressed places on the entire planet. They also cater to certain types of visitors. Its a system. Im just saying, we have to to stop believing the hype. Also, yes, the USA can learn alot from some of the mannerisms of Japan. Some. And the health care is also cheaper. Traveling is easy and fast to do. I am grateful for the experiences. But be careful about the surface things.
I was thinking this. Japan is struggling with a serious decline in population.
My friend’s son visited Japan and you can’t even spit on the streets. They are very orderly and spartan.
Not that Anna Mae, Karen. 😂
Planned Obsolescence is the phenomenon your thinking of.
Expendable and disposable…. Everything sold in the US has a shelf life and is made to be thrown away and recycled
Cars, computers, tv’s, cellphones, (we don’t have radios anymore)… Even home improvements will last only 50% of its warrantee time. Warrantees are prorated, and that starts ticking the moment the transaction is completed.
Frustrating.
Japan is a very rigid society. If you deviate from the general bubble of social expectations you are pretty much shunned. Plus living in Japan is very different from traveling in Japan. Everything is cash based and paper based. The backbone of Japanese society is actually pretty low tech. Another very nice place to visit also very clean is Singapore. People should check that place out too.
I was there this past May and it's super clean. I'm from NY and the MTA is garbage compared to theirs which is effecient on time and clean. People don't talk, and they stand aside to let people on and off. They are a number of black americans living and describe how welcoming the people are to them. They don’t ever to come back to the U.S.
They, love 90s hiphop and a lot of black american culture, fashion, etc. S.Korea is similar very, clean and efficient. Both countries have great and healthy foods, they don't have obesity issues there. You rarely see fat people.
Yes overweight people and disabled you will never see in japan
When I lived in Japan back in the late nineties, everyone, including kids, had cell phones already and there was a touchscreen phone called J Phones back then…
Planned obsoletion is the term for when you purposely plan for your tech to breakdown and become obsolete.
It is a jamaican woman arcitect that lives and works out of tokyo, in japanese. cool woman. look her up for a black woman that is doing the whole japanese thing, and doing very well for herself. Its a few videos of her on youtube..
The US innovates also. They have the most sophisticated weapons of war. 🤨
Obsolescence
I love this country but, We are fed so many lies in that we are the best in the world and the only place to be. We are not. We do not respect life, ours or life of the planet. We are shi__ where we eat on a daily basis. Literally poisoning ourselves. We are programmed to chase the dollar and all the shiny things. How do we blow up that pattern and focus on preserving humanity and our beautifully diverse country? I love this conversation.
I bought Samsung, and people threw shade because it wasn't an iPhone.
I didn't care and still don't care!
.
I love that Samsung flip phone.
most of the world have androids.
I lived there for five years and that recycling is no joke. Yeah all countries have their issues with accepting others but Japan is a very respectful culture. Even the older japanese people are coming around and accepting others.
planned obcelesence
Planned obsolescence
I think the term he's looking for is: planned obsolescence.
If they designed something to fail within five years, which is called built in obsolescence. They should also have a sale by date on the product or a date when this product will die so at least you know.
Designed obsolescence
I don’t think capitalism needs to reformed. It needs to be abolished. It’s been shown that it never works for all people.
Lol there hasn't been one economic system in existence that can provide for all. Stop with the uneducated take.
@@mostlysunny582 there is. It’s called socialism. You benefit it from it too.
@ShimonYaqulu socialism 🤣🤣🤣 just stop.
@@mostlysunny582 you can laugh. All the civil rights leaders were socialist. Only c**ns like Clyburn sold out.
👍👍
we don't make things. That refrigerator is not made in the USA..It is imported from South Korea or China
It’s called Planned Obsolescence.
I agree about Japan. Very clean. Respectful. I've been several times. My former band actually filmed a video there. Also, the process for weapons (guns, specifically) is very strict. Which is why gun violence there is extremely rare. Oh, and the US gave them reparations for dropping those bombs so I think you're cool, Karen.
See, reparations ARE possible.
Russia,China,Japan,North Korea, and the Nordic countries have surpassed the U.S.
On the car point, I'm nitpicking, but planned obsolescence doesn't apply to cars. Cars actually run better and last longer than they used to. They also are much safer than they used to be. The reason people don't keep them long is because of capitalist incentive to buy new cars and car dependency, not because the cars break down faster.
I had a car with 300,000 miles on it in the 1990s and was handed down to me from my dad...is that common today?
@@KarenHunterShowWhat brand? You should work on getting a brand loyalty advertisement contract with them.🤑😊

I generate enough trash, as a single person, for a pickup twice a week. It is shameful to admit it.
Very nice, but not always tolerant of our people. Musician’s wife who performed there hundreds of times throughout his career, never wanted to live there though, took the paper and left, that was enough. They love our jazz and culture, like everyone worldwide, but not us, IMO 🎶❤️🖤💚
Are they clean? Carbon emissions? Microplastics?
There are no garbage cans due to a terrorist attack.
thank you for the perspective...but even with that, there could be trash everywhere, but the CULTURE is that of being clean...and responsible.
Thanks Karen God bless 💙💙💙💙
The truth is, America is bloated with capitalism. We hang on to old America because we become the big steppers when the rest of the world was struggling, survived wars and they too time to learn form their mistakes. In doing so, we lost a national consciousness/identity, and in its place we instilled capitalism. And all our problems from social, economic, identity wars and such stem from our failure to have a national consciousness. We live in this world like we own it, our society is so ignorant about the rest of the world and our ignorance is loud. How can we be a better country? We have to rethink capitalism and this lie called the American dream .
Ha! You be watching anime Dr Hunter 😆🤔 lemme find out!
If we could start by removing capitalism from companies who get a tax benefit, non-profits.
Built in obsolescence.
I think Karen shouldn't let the history of Hiroshima and Nagasaki stop her from visiting Japan. I saw Japanese tourists visit Pearl Harbor during my Hawaii vacation years ago 🤷🏾♀
I never said it would...
Japan is definatly a African History Type of Country. They in my opinion do not reffuse their African Migration which led to Japan accompanying Africans into the Americas just after the second ice age.
Can't be mad at what you don't know...
I adore Japan. Unfortunately, when you are there, you understand why they don't want immigrants to ruin their way of life.
I'm missing something, i clicked to hear about capitalism.
IIRC, the original Godzilla movies are an allegory for how Japan feels about America and the dropping of the Atom Bombs.
yup.
Can Trevor improved Africa?
Thanks to Capitalism Trevor is loaded.
Good points! Have you noticed that the folks who enjoy the fruits of capitalism are the ones who criticize it the most? They are also huge supporters of BRICS and argue for the dedollarization of the global economy!

With all due respect, capitalism cannot be 'reformed'. By its nature, its exploitative. "Show me a capitalist, and I'll show you a bloodsucker." Malcolm X
you said that already.

“You’d be shocked how much your ability to discard influences your ability to consume.”Such a powerful conversation. I’d love more on how capitalism affects our mental health.
