A lot of outsourcing jobs overseas and we don’t manufacture anything anymore we import almost everything from China and Mexico
Yeah, this creates a huge hick up for the millions of Canadians that might otherwise be working in manufacturing of goods. This country is almost all service now of some type. Guess I'm going to have to be a gigolo.
@@IRLWojak there’s probably a tax on being a gigolo
There is for sure: herpes.

You’re bang on Wojak, I see many homes now that are unkept compared to years ago. People are hanging on by a thread to Keep afloat. The pendulum is past the mid point and heading the other direction which isn’t looking good. Urban decay is definitely happening right before our eyes. The cities are no better off in my opinion and if I could I’d much rather be rural and away from the masses.
Yeah, I really can’t make the math work at all for me to get myself into anything other then a mobile home at this point in life so I’m going to roll with it…hopefully the channel can sustain that lifestyle cuz I just received a bunch more rejection letters for applications for work - I’m actually going to be doing a video and going over all my recent rejections.
Wow...I missed this one. Seems like a quite city where you live. Peaceful
Only from 9-11pm then unbelievable as it is it can get a bit loud - it’s quiet here because of the amount of retirees, this is largely a community made up of older folks
Hahaha I worked in a suburb of Vancouver back in 2008. I was a server. Rough times.
Oh yeah, I don’t think I could make it as a server anymore, I’m too old and stupid and slow 😂

The Wizard's Tenth Rule
Wilfully turning aside from the truth is treason to one's self.
"People who for whatever reason don't want to see the truth can be acutely hostile to it and shrill in their denunciation of it. They frequently turn their venomous antagonism on whoever dares to point out that truth ... To those seeking the truth, it's a matter of simple, rational, self-interest to always keep reality in view. Truth is rooted in reality, after all, not the imagination."
I gotta look into this.
Excellent rule.
Well I haven't been in your exact area, but I have been in a lot of various places in Ontario and I can say while it might not look great, it's still not that bad. There are places in the US that are much much worse. places that were an industrial powerhouse in the 40s & 50s and were shutdown or moved away years ago... like parts of Detroit, or Gary Indiana, or Youngstown oh, or rockford il. In Canada we need to make sure we don't let it get that bad.
The entire Niagara Region looks pretty bad in some parts, like legit boarded up homes and buildings line the streets about 5 minutes away from downtown St Catharine's and the same thing goes for the main tourist strip of Niagara, Clifton Hills. Just 5 minutes from the tourists are boarded up homes and office buildings and some sort of giant building that was used for a museum.
@@IRLWojak I can confirm this; Niagara is just clinging to life. I moved here in 2017, and there were several dead areas even before covid happened. Maybe at some point the downtown areas were alive and/or even thriving, but I doubt those days will be returning anytime soon. Even with people moving here from Toronto
@@bradenanderson4271 it’s a really sad thing to see.
Canadian dream is dead. We are now in a prison, and we can't touch smell or see. The Matrix is broken.
The Matrix was a myth too, as far as I can tell.
"The Matrix" is actually the Shadowrun future, which has happened.
Suburbs are becoming Rental Homes and turning into shit holes. Landlords Do NOT Fix Anything
@@zomgoose AirBNB zones.
And rentals become rooming houses for *hoards of Indians* and it's gonna get worse.
Its economic disparity for many families and you can clearly see how bad its becoming as a direct correlation between the condition of their home and our economy. I have my money for the month of August, do you think $100 will do for the monthly grocery spend?
Did you grt a small increase btw? I think I actually got like $80 extra this month. $100 for groceries, I mean, what are you going to eat? Even a can of soup is like $4 theee days. I spent $50 on sandwich items, 2 chocolate bars, a can of Pepsi and some cat food…living it up!
If it wasn’t for my mom I’d be starving to death - tbh, I’ve lost about 10 lbs recently
@@IRLWojak not sure.. I’ll have to make do somehow. But it usually starts with first week being ok, second week I’m resorting to quick foods, usually stuff that brings out the worse in a person with diabetes. 3rd week I’ll resort to family. And that 4th week is usually junk filed - anything to cover up the hole. Latest dr visit last week and I’m literally deficient on most major vitamins, so the government has to spend more on pills, and the BAD cholesterol is “through the roof”. Not to mention I’m falling into some sort of diabetic sleep as I try to get out bed, so I have to force myself up, otherwise, hallucinations set in.
@@IRLWojak Its gone up about 17%, or $180 per month.They haven't touched the food amounts though. I pick up, what I can, in bulk- costco $9/3 pack, compared to Walmart $8 per pack. Vaping was $24 for 120mil bottle x 5 per month, Dougie introduced major taxation on that, so it's now $50 per 120mil bottle, so I order and make myself (from the USA), it works out to about $7 dollars per 120mil bottle.
The housing market is gonna crash on Canada in the next few years.
A crash, a crush, a flattening.
The high prices can't keep going, people can't afford it.
It'll be a disaster.
It should have already happened, this is the scariest part.
The only holiday character who proves himself very real and relevant is the Ghost of Christmas Future. 😊
This is a fact that has not been most on me - wait for tomorrows content…
A few in paradise, the rest of us in Detroit.
LOL, true enough...remember when Detroit had houses for sale like, $1 USD?
This feels like it could be a prequel to The Joker or something haha.
Half my city's downtown is owned by one guy, he plasters his name on all the buildings, and most of the buildings have been sitting empty for years. I don't know what the long term plan is. Just let them sit and appreciate in value? Establish a monopoly so people have no choice but to rent from him?
Yeah see, this is what I’m seeing here in my city too and I’m not understanding what is happening exactly. Why let the buildings linger and rot? Why not retrofit and then repurpose them for the less fortunate?
My parents told me I could be anything I want, so I became lazy
Roll with it, lol 😆
The world really did create the Shadowrun 2050 future for ourselves.
Is this a game or a movie?
@@IRLWojak : Where all the most insightful ideas are found: tabletop RPG. This one received its first edition in 1989.
Isn't that a reflection on the global human mind?
@@scome98 probably, our works reflects our minds.
