  • Did you think Wisconsin would be immune to the problems that plague the rest of the country? Cause they aren't.
    In this video, I explored the capital of Wisconsin, Madison. While it's a wonderful place, they are starting to see what happens when you open yourself up to a liberal invasion.

      Why are we blaming the young for being soft, of all the problems they inherited? There's too many poisons in food and forever chemicals. They inherited a broken economy, while the boomers voted for their interests and left social security debt to be paid by the younger. Boomers and Gen X reared millennial, why did their rearing end up making soft children?

    The homeless problem is not just Wisconsin its in every state in the union .

      Can’t just build housing for people for nothing. That’s not fair to those that worked 2 jobs and saved their money for years to put a down payment on their homes! Nothing is free! The homeless need to get off drugs, work 2 jobs and save save save. There are 6 million job openings in the USA. Get two if you need to.

      Proof that no matter how nice the projects are and no matter how much you give them; crime will not stop. They will also run it into the ground. All projects started out shiny and new and nearly free. The only reason projects look so bad, is because the people that reside in them, make them bad. People should be thankful when something is given to them nearly free, at someone else's expense. It is never enough for these adult age children.
      Welfare and fatherless children are the bane of this community.

Landlords say they love it; because they are the only units that are guaranteed to have on-time payments every month.

      Hey I'm a Sconi here and I'm with you and agree with you. Madison literally looks like it did in any of the last 3 decades I've been familiar with it. I can't even imagine what this guy's video would be like if he did this video during Halloween! If homeboy was gonna film state street like that he could have at least gone out at night not the daytime where everyone's sleeping off Mifflin and Big10 games. It's important to remember this guy's entire RUclips series on this is literally just a ploy to push radical politics. I actually live in St. Paul, MN now and frankly most daysIi go out here I find myself thinking this is the most annoying woke liberal place, then I realize Madison really isn't even that hardcore liberal. When you get most students at UW Madison talking about their beliefs they might come off liberal, but they're definitely more right wing in their ideologies. There's definitely an air of libertarian type mentality around the Madison Isthmus but it just gets overshadowed by mainstream politics...But since they don't vote for right wingers people need a reason to cry and whine over a scapegoat. I actually refuse to vote for the longest list of reasons and people attack me over that too and they don't even get why they're angry. They usually get quiet when i point out to them that I wouldn't vote for who they want to win an election and my refusal to vote makes their vote count for more 😂It's so ridiculous honestly the logic of some of these people. I don't understand how so many grown adult Americans are legitimately adults who have been around for more than a few election cycle yet they're still so foolish to think the person who wins an election even matters that much. I mean they're all politicians at the end of the day who are like the pre-internet, proto -influencers or perhaps just adults who live in the whimsical world of adult pageants. I happen to be an Archaeologist/Anthropologist among holding other diplomas. I'm willing to put my professional reputation out on the line here and say most people with this mentality like in this video really just don't get how things work. I would also argue this is a coping strategy for Americans who don't understand why we aren't #1 and have insane levels of purchasing power like our nation has enjoyed for nearly a century. Instead of looking at geopolitics and instead of looking at global economics, they just need someone to blame. It kind of reminds me of self flagellation and Spanish/Italian Inquisitions. People are just that desperate to point the finger of blame at the situation they're in rather than doing anything reasonable or productive about it. They don't get that everyone else with a halfway decent educations regardless of political party leanings sense the same idiocracy with them as the woke people. Have a nice day badger buddy!

      It’s weird how Tenney-Lapham has all these beautiful older homes just blocks from one of the biggest clusters of shelters and strung-out junkies in Madison. In summer you can see the junkies and homeless smoking fentanyl and occasionally fighting under the trees in Reynolds Park, just a hundred yards or so from parents (who pay out the nose for this neighborhood) and kids swinging on the swingset. There was a fatal shooting between people in transitional housing just a couple blocks from those expensive high-rises on East Wash. Aggressive panhandling outside Festival, needle caps sometimes littering the sidewalk over by the MG&E plant… sharp contrasts

    I feel like one big problem with social policies is it treats everyone within a certain income bracket the same. Like if someone doesn't make much money, they qualify for low income housing. Some people will be grateful and take good care of it. Some don't care at all and will destroy it. Those who will appreciate it should most definitely be helped. Those who just want to destroy can stay on the streets.

      Suburbs or neighboring communities don't have homeless people because they push them to the bigger cities. I've had several homeless coworkers that came from smaller towns. One guy his local VA drove him to GB whwre there was shelters after he broke up with his long time girlfriend. He was originally from another state, so it wasn't like he could just go live with relatives.

    Also, I wanted to mention that YES the city is extremely left-wing. Moreso than any city I've ever been to, and I've been to Portland and Seattle. At least those cities are big enough to where there are enough non-left people by volume to have some kind of community. But here it feels like there's really just no part of the population that isn't left-wing.

    WAS a beautiful place; clean, cultural, well educated, successful, walkable, cyclable, with cool specialty stores.

    Spent a year in Madison one day back in 2021. Town is great, it's the people that suck. I felt like I needed to shower after exiting.

    I had to drive to downtown Madison in October of 2015. 4 hour drive 1 way for me, in a Suburban. I don't recommend it. Suburbans just don't fit very well in tiny town & neither did I. I had to ask a cop to watch my rig while I ran 5 blocks to get where I needed to be. Had a great talk with the cop, a few good laughs. Best cop contact I have ever had! The rest of the folks were about as friendly & helpful as Hannibal Lector wearing ear buds...

    "TKE IS UNIQUE!" was our chant at Chicago's Loyola U house in the 1970s. We used to party hardy there. How disappointing to get the cold shoulder from a junior frat bro.🥹 Sad times.

    Same sh!t has happened to every city here in the UK. It's not just the increase in the number of homeless people that's the problem, it's how brazen (and sometimes downright hostile) they are now. Last time I went to my local city, I sat down on a bench to drink a bottle of water, a homeless guy appeared out of nowhere, sat down next to me and asked for a drink of it. Honestly, if he'd had a cup, I would've poured him some, but he didn't. Did he really think I was going to let some random homeless guy with rotting teeth drink out of the same bottle as me? I was already getting sick of being hassled by roaming homeless people every time I went to my local city, but this was the final straw. The only time I'm going to go back there is if I have to. I'm not going to go there for leisure anymore because there's no leisure to be had in a place that has total dogsh!t vibes.

    i moved up here from richmond 8 yrs ago and i was impressed how low the major crime appered compared to gang ghetto richmond va..since then its gone downhill i think becuz of migration from chicago and milw now its not as brutal as richmond but the news has alot of violence robberies and murder ...still its the midwest and they tend to be chill for the most part but the drinkin culture is over the top..
