"People used to think the apocalypse was what dystopia was gonna look like. Make no mistake, we live in one. It's just a whole lot more boring"
literally exactly what i thought of when i saw this video
yea lol
I'm not sure apocalypse means what you think it means
@@amelliamendel2227 they mean that the apocalypse would be what people thought of when they imagined a dystopia - not that we live in an apocalypse, we just live in a really boring dystopia.
I don’t know what’s worse. The situation we’re in now, or Ragnarok/Cataclysm/Armageddon/The Apocalypse.
Funny thing about the ‘bootstrap’ analogy.
The term was originally meant to mean an accomplishing an impossible task, particularly used by the lower or working class. The point is that you physically CANNOT lift yourself up by your bootstraps.
I am genuinely impressed that big corpo has succeeded in making the phrase take a complete 180.
they did it with "The customer is always right" as well.
it doesn't mean the customer is right 100% of the time. It means the customer will always go after trends.
We gotta flatline the corpos choom
im pretty sure it was used in the video because of that too lol
My job is considered "unskilled labor" and let me tell you- the managers have no idea how to do the job. I haven't even been there two years and I've outlasted at least 6 new hires that couldn't do the job. I'm not payed enough for this :(
Yep and they'll never promote you even though you totally deserve to be promoted, I assume you don't have the requisite piece of paper... And if you do ,you should quit and re-apply because they only hire management from outside the company
Personally I found that it's not about how hard you work, it's about how hard the person who can promote you thinks you work, and that doesn't necessarily require hard work.
Develop sociopathic tendencies, basically.
When I worked retail, it was considered unskilled work _until the fucking pandemic came about!_ The I was an "essential worker". No pay rise for it, either.
At least you have a job that allows you to pay for some ridiculously overpriced basic human rights. I can tell you, misophonia and misokinesia (got both of them) are no fun. Waiting for official diagnosis, but until then I'm stuck in this void. Can't get any form of compensation without it for my inability to work full-time (in a place that requires social contact) for more than a few months at most. Insurance isn't even the biggest problem; I'm left with crushing college debt because of having to drop out due to burnouts. In the end, it's for the best as my health comes first but I would accept an "unskilled job" in a heartbeat if that means I can work in peace with enough rest in between workdays (either shorter or 3-4 workdays a week). Just something so I could get the bare minimum, and feel like I have a future.
"unskilled labor" yet "essential workers".
we don't have slaves and indentured servants, because we don't call them that.
I love that we call the USA a developed nation when we care not at all about its citizens. This is bullspit
We are a nation that has a military capability to probably eradicate any country but can't offer supports and fair wages for those in need. :)
@@ChillyUltraKill not even their own troops. The people who sacrifice life and limb… it’s a sad sad reality.
@@erikarussell1142 we don’t even give large support to veterans. THE VERY SOLDIERS
Fun fact, the US gdp is a fucking lie and if you remove the 1% who hoards all the money it qualifies as a third world country.
Many "third world" countries care way more about their citizens. Americas education system brainwashes people into branding everything that is good for society as a whole and good for people in need as "socialism", "dangerous", "taking away from yourself".
It's stupid.
And don't tell me a system where you have to pledge your life to a goddamn flag each day isn't brainwashing.
Y’all wanna hear something real fucked up?
My sister has severe stomach issues and can go days to weeks throwing up anything she tries to eat/drink.
Recently her doctor prescribed her an anti nausea medication that she needs to not die from dehydration/starvation from vomiting. We were told it would be 30 pills.
When we went to cvs to pick it up, we received only 9 pills. When I asked why, the poor ladies behind the counter told me that had to bargain with the damn insurance company to get my sister’s pills to a low enough dose so we could be covered.
The kicker?
If we were giving the full 30 days supply of ANTI NAUSEA PILLS, we would have to pay out of pocket 43,000 DOLLARS. We’d need to take a second mortgage out just to get meds that prevent my sis from throwing up every time she eats.
Fuck America’s health care system.
But the free market is so amazing isn’t it /s
@@BudewFan_not the free market but those who use the free market to privatize the free market so only they can benefit from the free market.
Without RAMQ (Quebec Health Insurance, it's run by the government), my medication would cost at least 2000 dollars a month. I just wouldn't be able to live alone/be independent without it, and am so glad it's covered. I wouldn't be able to work most jobs without it since, y'know, functioning hands are important, but then by proxy I wouldn't be able to afford the medication because I can't work. Knowing the USA, they'd probably also mark up my medication to be like 10000 per shot.
That’s f**king awful. 😞
Holy sh*t, I feel extremely bad for you and your sister, I hope things get better.
Society is doomed bc of the rich. Blaming anyone else is just idiotic and i wish people i know would stop doing it
I’m personally a capitalist, but I sort of agree with you.
@@Astreiousyeah it isn’t the system, it’s the people that only wish to privatize that system so only they can benefit off of it at the cost of everyone else.
What happens when they have all wealth in the world, they own the planet, all its resources, and all its people? Nothing, that’s what. Their greed is insatiable and even when they have literally everything they still won’t be happy with what they have.
The lame-duck "revolutionaries" aren't helping by not doing anything offline for 5 minutes without their social structure turning from the French Revolution to Mean Girls the second a disagreement happens.
@Astreious dude, the minimum wage has been fixed at $7.25 for the past 15 years, while cost for food, rent, gas and overall cost of living continues to rise
@@Josh_the_jester you’re saying this why

13:54 man.
One fine day in the dead of winter the pipes froze on my water radiator heater. Pipes snapped all throughout town. I had been blocked at grandma's house when the blizzard hit and it took 3 days to get home and see what was broken.
The short of it:
Lay cardboard on the floor. At least 2 layers but aim for 4 when -10°F (more layers when lower).
Put one tent inside of another.
Put bathtowels on the roofs of both tents to absorb humidity and reduce heat loss.
Hang sheets between the ceiling of the big tent and the roof of the little one to slow air flow.
You'll wake up sore and ashamed, but you'll wake up.
That’s. Depressing. All because a cheap fucking company doesn’t want to pay for working pipes
A good one to add to this is idaho just shut off water to 500k farmers at the same exact time they just opened a cobalt mine running 24/7 on a pristine mountain range, you know what cobalt mines need? Lots and lots of water.
This is why Idaho isn’t real. It was always Oregon.
god 😭 i hate it here
And then they'll complain the local crop yield was too low 💀
welp guess im not getting water for the next few months *hoo boy i love moving*
Who the FUCK needs cobalt??? Farms should absolutely take priority. I hate that money has ruined our world. We have the ability to get rid of world hunger but the people at the top are actively choosing not to. I hate it here.

16:52 when I was on a leap year in Los Angeles and was shown around by a class mate, we saw a place to “donate” blood. He literally said, and there you can donate blood for money. He stopped for a moment when I said, so you’re selling your blood.
19:32 WIC is VERY specific in regards to what you can and cannot buy. Down to brands, and ammounts, so by changing the ammount in it could cause it to be no longer be valid as the Government for that year only approved that specific oz ammount.
So it's not like a product recall because something dangerous is in it?
@@Roadent1241 Not it was clearly an organization just refusing to cover that format.
Sounds more like a nightmare than something actually meant to help the less fotunate.
@@fr0nk571 Someone else in the comments put it better:
"A gallon is 128 fluid ounces, so a half gallon would be 64 fluid ounces. This is a scientific fact. This is not something that is open to interpretation. By taking away 5 ounces from a half gallon, they are removing almost 10% of the milk the buyer is expecting to get."
WIC isn't supporting the new bottle size purely because Darigold is practically scamming buyers, especially ones in need. They didn't change the price at all
@@fr0nk571 The format being an alternate type of milk? I couldn't read the paper and I had it on a 32 inch TV.
39:00 I feel compelled to translate Heinrich Heine: "It is an irony, the poverty of the teachers. Because they only want to afford teachers for 600 marks, the people stay so dumb that they *have* to afford wars for 60 billion."
we had a jewellery store, not kidding, one time it had a sign that talked about how the best thing you should have is your husband's credit card. three months later, it had a going out of business sale. I was kind of happy to see that happen
21:40 if i’m not mistaken, that’s a nuclear reactor. the safest form of non renewable energy and the only form of non renewable energy that doesn’t have a carbon footprint at production.
If only they'd finally build a safe permanent storage location for nuclear waste instead of stuffing it in old salt mines and then acting surprised when the salt eats through the storage containers.
And actually build new, safer reactors instead of keeping the old ones running until they become decrepit and prone to failure.
But that all costs money.
tell that to Belarus
3:55 honestly that seems like such a sensory overload? Never seen such an overwhelming visual here in Australia.

If someone says x homeless people should just get a job, many of them probably forget that some homeless people, with all due respect, are not capable to have an occupation, due to not only physicial but also mental problems. Not only that, but consider that some jobs are not available even to those who can work for many reasons and some don’t even have a job available.
That and some don't have proper education for some jobs.
According to study from ‘cross river therapy’, this is indeed true. 54% of Americans or 130M people are suffering from literacy issues.

I will say, As someones struggling financially and receiving calls every three months to donate blood, I would actually like to be paid for it. But it's illegal, in my country, to be compensated for it.

Which country?

Any type of bio material donation is... well, a donation. The same way if you need that blood you won't be charged a ridiculous amount for it.
teachers in tennessee are gonna have a major problem mentioning historical figures like: Emperor Julius Caeser, Emperor Hadrian, Emperor Elagabalus, literally every single spartan warrior, King Nicomedes of Bithynia, Sappho, Plato, Anne Lister, Alan turing, Frida Kahlo so on so forth.
they are LITERALLY going to be writing letters to the parents every day like "yeah we're talking about the romans again. and im saying this because they straight up said "if an lgbt person/subject is even mentioned"
23:26 “conversion” in this context refers to the people who actually bought the product after seeing the ad, I can’t say for certain that it was the intended word for this sentence, but it does make sense.

Watching this video after having to console my crying mom because she had to work a 14 hour shift, stopping by to give commentary and some relevant anecdotes to a couple of the posts. First off, the US made microchips being found in captured russian vehicles… it’s pretty moderate compared to where else our MIC has stuck its fingers. We’ve sold aircraft to both Turkey and Greece, who are in constant spats with each other and it’s a regular Thursday for them to shoot down the other one’s fighter jet, and so it’s often you will see American built jets facing off against American built jets between the two sides. Second off, the post about the shift leader having to come into work on his birthday… at least he got pizza. A coworker/friend of mine had to come into work on his birthday and he got nothing special for it, not even a birthday card. I work at an escape room and we do more for customers having a birthday than we did for bro who worked on his birthday, we usually have to make customers cards and everyone on shift has to sign them but I digress. The reason my friend had to go in on his birthday is because nobody could cover his shift. I was the only one available and willing to take the shift byt I wasn’t even allowed to because I would’ve gone into overtime during the shift and they didn’t wanna pay the extra $40, which pissed me off.
That's sad. My mom works 16-hour shifts sometimes. Luckily, her work can't legally keep her at work more than 48 hours a week because she is physically disabled. (Her shoulder muscles were ripped beyond repair, and her hips were damaged beyond repair.)
I hope it gets better for everyone's sake.
Good luck.
While I technically had no bonus on my birthday when working… I worked at a theme park so my employee benefits were basically my celebratory birthday
I'm 14, and I want a job. Reason? Money. That's it.
Best reason
I wanted a job even earlier than that for money to escape my abusive situation. This society doesn't pay enough attention to the disadvantaged.
I hope this is a joke. Yeah, your first years working are great because you get your own money to spend how you want, then your parents will have you using that money to contribute towards bills or in some cases pay rent. Enjoy your youth while you can please.
@@HannahWelch-vd4xyOftentimes, kids also want to not have their parents have to give them up because of the financial burden. This is why r/aboringdystopia exists. This is why we need to fight back.

Very first one, that's Birmingham! I suppose it is kind of sucky if you stop and stare at it but honestly the market is so bustling with honest small businesses and good food and small bands that it hardly crossed my radar.
Maybe it's just that where I live we go to the hospital for non life threatening stuff but the ambulance is for emergencies and for people who can't get to the hospital on their own. I wouldn't exactly call that a taxy.
My class did a water test in 5th grade for some reason, but suspiciously, we never saw the results. They were immediately taken to administration and all the water fountains were replaced a year later over the summer. Parents were only told that the school was "remodeling".

29:25 as someone who worked for goodwill for 5 years, the employees are not there for anything other than goodwill's bottom line. Regardless of the employee's feelings on the matter.
Apparently, you don't get a choice. When you get solar, they automatically put it so that once your batteries are charged, they start dumping the power I to the grid. Even if you have batteries.

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

Greed ruins everything, and the rich don't give a fuck about anyone else. My landlord installed one coin operated washer and dryer for six units, while charging $1,200 a month rent. During one of our conversations, his wife blurted out "we're not slumlords", even though I didn't say or imply it. They also have all kinds of insane restrictive rules. They even locked the outside water faucets. Besides being tiny, the place looks and feels like a prison.

12:33 I’m sure part of the reason is they were considering many of the very necessary surgeries “cosmetic”. Do insurance companies not realize that in many cases, aesthetics vastly impact quality of life.
Try getting a good job (especially dealing with the public) if your teeth are all jacked up and/missing, or prominent scars and growths that could easily be fixed. Not to mention the emotional anguish and mental health issues that ensue.

46:35 Well, the huge settlement from the manufacturers of OxyContin was supposed to go to things like free Narcan, but it was left up to states and cities to decide, and so far the VAST majority has gone to buying new police cars and other things for the police department, that really aren’t related to the opioid epidemic whatsoever.
Robin rant time!
18:06 I wonder how much of the lower end of the graph is because people don't need them as badly, and how much is people who need them but can't get access to them.
where I live we started out as more socialist with affordable healthcare, free education etc. but because our government is trying to copy the hyper capitalism of the US (because they want the US to like them), now it's about 45% like the US.
we still have affordable healthcare and free/affordable education (until end of high school) but our currency dropped in value by 99.99% in the last 50-60 years, houses costs about 1 million dollars for a basic family house, rent is about 2,000$ a month in some areas and finding jobs is like finding a needle in outer space.

When I went to my first prenatal visit, they asked about my mental health history and my family's. I told them my brother struggled with depression and anxiety, and they billed my insurance $114 for it. They didn't do anything about it, not that they could....because it was my brother and not me..their patient. So confused and angry about that BS.
They also let like 4 separate salesmen into my room two hours after I gave birth. I just wanted some damn tacos and sleep.
Conversion is a marketing term that basically means converting a viewer of an advertisement into a consumer. That is how little these people care about the human race... just numbers to them.
abt the Kia access thing( 5:17 ), it’s to remote start. My kia didn’t even come w a fob, so I have to manually unlock and lock my car at said car every single time. It’s annoying, and I’ve considered paying for the sub so I have the option. It’s stupid. also iirc, you aren’t supposed to get your own fob installed cause I think it can void your warranty, which is even more stupid.

A lot of single mothers, even on food stamps, can't afford to feed one child in the States. It's even worse if she has chronic health issues, because the ACA didn't give us affordable care. If I am not making a low enough threshold to stay on medicaid my insurance is 700/month, for just me.. and I have to pay 2000 a month for my medication (after the discount) until I meat my 20k deducible.
My medications? One that lets me walk and one for diabetes that I developed due to organ damage from anorexia developed during the time I just wasn't eating because my child's life was more important than my own.
At the time the average income for women was 27,000 in my state. and the average rent was 20,000 a year before utilities.
Yous till have to pay for power, water, sewer, trash removal, your phone, your car.. (because where I lived they WILL NOT hire you without a car.) Car insurance and the "Average work commute" was 36,000 miles a year. (Just over 56,936 km a year.)
That was to get from an apartment with "Sort of affordable rent" to a job site and back.. an hour each way, minimum...
That doesn't include daycare at 20,000 a year..
Turns out "Daycare assistance" doesn't always exist either... and the daycare they had approved for me had literally lost three toddlers the week before they finally approved it.
One of them still hasn't been found 10 years later.
The last one about the solar panels I am not so sure about. I live in Poland and we had a situation when solar panels caused massive damage to a not so small neighborhood, because the power plant rejected the energy influx and suddenly you had 500V on 250V lines. Every piece of electronics has been fried despite fail-safes that have not been designed with such a situation in mind.
I really, really want to have a solar panel but firstly, neither a scam nor costing a kidney, secondly, I don't want to get sued for millions in our currency because of situations like that one.
Always amazed that people actually GOT something for working during the pandemic, because my job at the time gave me fuck all.

Calender, and even put it in on our time clock app(even tho it glitched out and didn't save it) and she still put me as a late day shift giving me no time to actually celebrate, I told her I should swap shifts with someone who was off that day and she refused, giving me a early morning shift instead. So after the long drive to the place I wanted to celebrate my bday at I didn't get home till about 9pm and still had to immediately go to bed to get up early in the morning. Legit fucking cried as I was afraid she'd force me to do another meaningless task right at the end of my shift causing me to be over time. Thank God she's no longer my boss and my new boss actually gives a shit about me

I'm all for automation of jobs, i just think we should have a priority for automating jobs with higher injury/death rates.
31:01 it took me an embarrassing long time to realize he’s referring to minors as kids and not men who go down and complain for living. I was very confused why he was so upset that they would be working at a poultry plant. lol 😂
19:56 it's a MTR station in Hong Kong, if you look up Tai Wai Station on Maps you can see "The Wall" which is the mall that goes alongside the tracks. In front of it was a construction site for the past years (Google Maps still shows it) where they removed one arm of the gigantic sidewalk leveled above the main street. Back before construction, one arm was directed straight forward to the station (along Mei Tin rd.) but now, it just leads into this mall. It is quite a maze to navigate sometimes but at least it has AC lmao.

I think people tend to confuse unskilled labor with hard labor.
No one in their right mind would say that such position aren't hard and that it does have some skill requirement to do well and proper. The thing is you can take 99% of able bodied ppl and they will be able to do the job and in time will learn thr skills easily to do the job properly and efficiently as long as they are willing.
Here’s a fun one. I’m in heart failure and one of my life sustaining heart medications after insurance is 500 dollars a month. My heart failure is because I have treatment resistant tachycardia I need this medication. Let’s not go into my medical debt
Holy crap I hope it gets better but I don’t know if that’s ever going to happen
I didn’t realize this was made a minute ago. I was too busy playing the mod with a bunch of worm bosses like that primordial one
"Why can't homeless just get jobs?"
How do you get a job without a legal address? If people know you are homeless why would they hire you if you can't shower or wash your clothes?
Now, I DID manage to land a McDonalds job when I was homeless... I had a Laptop and was a Black Card Member of Planet FItness and let me sleep on the vibrating lounges at night, and I used my old address when filling the application. The Laptop was used to fill out surveys for 5-10 dollars for about 6 hours of work, so I just *barely* managed to pay the monthy fee and have enough to eat and wash clothes. Then again I have a better head on my shoulder then most people.
right after i turned 16 i got a job at mcdonald’s and the girl who trained me was my age, she’d just been working there since she was 14 😭 that mcdonald’s is always hiring because people keep quitting, i only lasted like a month
14? 😭in the uk a 14yo would be starting GCSE stuff, not working
@@cloud_congestus where i am in the US you can get a workers permit if your parents/school agree that allows you to work as a 14/15 year old at certain businesses
I remember seeing an ad for google implementing AI in fast food menus, and just seeing them spin it into a “it makes food so much better” pisses me off.
