Hearted Youtube comments on Nick Johnson (@NickJohnson) channel.

  1. Angry & frustrated doesn’t begin to describe how I feel about the sewer that our cities & towns in Cali have become. Not to mention all the near misses on freeway on-ramps & off-ramps & such trying to avoid hitting these people or their refuse. And speaking of refuse, dodging human excrement on sidewalks, bus stops & benches…it’s beyond disgusting.

  2. The collapse of America right in front of our eyes…. ☹️

  3. Anyone else old enough to remember when we were proud of our country?

  4. The top 1 worst places in Connecticut; #1: Connecticut Edit: All you doo doo brain pickle head looking boys commenting about how disrespectful I am for shitting on the "wonderful state" you live in, I live here too. Malloy turned this lump of land into a hot batch of deficit filled booty juice. Miss me with the criticism.

  5. It's a wonder how our country spends billions on wars overseas and cannot help the homeless by the way many are veterans who served ,what an absolute shame and disgrace, God Bless us all.

  6. If Mississippi changed its name to "Ukraine" the federal government would send assistance and money right away.

  7. My husband was killed by a drunk driver 3 months ago on Father's Day (I was left badly injured with our 3 children under 6 who also survived the crash), and he used to LOVE your channel. He always told me when you'd upload a new video. I bet he would've loved this video, he was always very interested in Montana for some reason. 😅

  10. Nailed it on healthcare. I got 7 stitches in the middle of the night at a hospital. If not my face I'd have gone to a clinic when they opened. Charged 4900. Doctor charged 2400 and hospital 2500. My insurance only covered half. They have you sign a blank check and if you tell them you have a job, get ready for them to max it out. Doctors are as scummy as lawyers at hospitals.

  11. It's so weird watching this as a Europeans. You mentioned you see more people walking there than in most places but to me it looks practically deserted. There are more parked cars in sight than people! When I had a chance to visit the US earlier this year I noticed that the normal neighborhood streets are so devoid of life and if there is any it is often shady people. While if this type of development were in Europe you would have children playing outside or cycling to their friends/sports practice; people walking dogs; people tending to their gardens or just relaxing outside. Is everyone just locked inside and afraid of others?

  12. You and many of your viewers have no idea how easy it is to become homeless. I made a lot of money starting one of the biggest call centers in Orange County. I sold my half of the business and moved to Oregon. My mistake was not saving or investing money intelligently. My fiance started having severe mental issues and became convinced by the voices in her head that I needed to leave the apartment I was paying for. She reported me for domestic abuse despite the fact I never laid a hand on her. By law I couldnt be in contact with her. I found myself freezing cold sleeping in my van thanking God I had a vehicle. Four years earlier I was in the highest tax bracket. I wasn't on drugs. I didnt have mental issues. This kind of thing can happen to anyone. Be nice to the people you meet on your way to the top you never know who you meet on your way to the bottom.

  13. You hit the nail on the head. " You have to be either rich or poor to enjoy the benefits of living in California" this is by design, theres no other way these people can manage to mess up every single thing.
    769
  14. We have way more than a community left behind... We have an entire civilization that is getting left behind... These despicable levels of neglect are completely intentional.
    768
  15. I cringed with horror as TIME Magazine put Bozeman, Montana on it's front page. Calling it the best place on Earth. God help you Bozeman, and Montana. RIP.

  16. I used to be fat but then a bunch of people got fat as well so, I guess now I'm average for USA standards.

  17. As a fellow Texan from Houston. I frequently visit Austin for work. The city has gone downhill. Nothing like it used to be. And its all political.
    757
  18. Our country is literally crumbling. I am embarrassed by our country's state. It's only going to get worse. Sadly.
    752
  19. My hometown, Middleburg Florida, is so poor that people's EBT cards get declined. They're so poor that children from Africa send them money. It's a disgrace I tell you. They're so poor they hang toilet paper out to dry. I'm definitely moving to Idaho.
    751
  20. Being honest, generous and hard working doesn't go very far in this world these days.

  21. I hate to see our veterans on the streets, and we're giving billions of dollars to other countries or the migrants😓

  22. I was a caregiver for a man who lives in Atherton. I took care of him until his last breath. The family was so grateful of me that they paid my college tuition 100%. I am so thankful for them. Now I am a Registered Nurse. The family did not ask for anything in return. As a professional, i also understand that my connection with them is already over since i no longer work with them. But i will be forever grateful.

  23. I live in the west, and have been in over 40 states. Went to Mississippi about 7 years ago and totally fell in love with it. I would take the poorest town in Mississippi over a monstrosity like New York City any day. Mississippi may be suffering, but it has soul and natural beauty.

  24. As an Asian American, I really appreciate your report - Got +++A from me! I was refugee a couple of decades ago; came here with no English and penniless. Like most Asian refugees, we are good and kind hearted people; work hard to reach the American dreams and very proud of it 🙏 Used to think we are blesses for this land of opportunity, but not lately because of the despicable hate acts against Asian Americans. Regardless, thank you for your perspective of Asian Americans; you hit the bull’s eye! 👍🏼 God Bless 🙏

  25. As a California survivor, I can confirm that this state is a disaster.

  26. The first step is looking at why are these areas poor, than look at why are the people poor, how did they become so poor. Any time you have the have and have nots, this is what you get. What’s missing from a neighborhood that’s not doing well from a neighborhood that is. Evaluate the people there, do these people have the same type of careers in these neighborhood, you can’t just drive through bad areas without stopping and talking to people to understand the differences. Are these home family homes where there’s a mom and dad in the house if not why. Can the parents afford to send there kids to college if they don’t have a college degree. It’s a lot of variables but requires research and an interview process. Talk to the elderly in these run down areas, talk to parents. When did you move here did your parents live here too. There’s not a lot of positive influence in these neighborhoods, or positive individuals to look up to either. Role models like the doctor lives across the street with his family, your friends dad who’s a lawyer. The male role models are the guys who been in and out of jail, at 13 you might get distracted from school because your hanging with the older guys in the neighborhood and they are making fast money, your intrigued by that because your poor. Your dad is probaly dead or in jail, your mother can’t show you how to be a man and she’s poor doesn’t have a good job, so the older guys who been in and out of jail show you the way to fast money, it’s illegal but you can’t see the school route because you need money now and have no patients for that now, this is the American dream to you. Once you become accustomed to that life style it’s hard to break free from it. So now your getting arrested at 15, the police who patrol the neighborhood already know who you are at 15, this is where your police record begins at an early age. You start going in and out of juvenile jail until your 17 and go to grown man jail. Now that you have been accustomed to being arrested and jail, you don’t fear cops or jail anymore, you know the routine at an early age. Now school is a very after thought now all you know is the street life, you might want to have a change of heart after seeing a few of your friends die to gun violence, you try to get a job but they deny you because they do background checks and once they get your police record, now they don’t want to hire you and what do you do go back to the only way you know how to get money because you rather do that and risk it vs being broke. Maybe you will make it to the age 25 and maybe you won’t, the odds of you dying before you reach 25 are high. Because the streets has no love for you, you out selling drugs one day and guys who know your selling wants to rob you but this time they rob you and kill you too. It’s so many variables, nobody wants to move in a neighborhood you hear gun shots every night. So now the property vaule of the neighborhood goes down, people move out and houses stay abandoned, it starts looking run down the city doesn’t want to invest money there now. The only stores that’s prominent in these areas now are liquor stores on almost every corner so you can stay drunk all day, grocery stores are few and far between. The older men you see around the liquor stores are the older guys who spent most of there lives behind bars now in a society they know nothing about, you don’t know how to work you become a drug addict the younger guys sells drugs too and your staying drunk around liquor stores. These young guys in these neighborhoods arnt living for tomorrow, they are living for today and hoping to live the night out without being killed by someone. Gangs only form to gain a certain territory, so everybody in this gang holds down this area to protect our interest over here which is money. Can’t have a guy from another area taking our money which is stealing our junkies, because junkies are dollar signs and if your buying your product from outside of the guys in this area now your a target if your caught selling in that area, which is grounds for extermination. It’s a very long cycle just making arrest doesn’t solve anything. You have to figure a way to uplift these people in these areas older people feel trapped in these neighborhoods can’t afford to move else where so you deal with it. I don’t have the answers but I love coming up with solutions to address the issue. Finding a way to keep the youth in these areas from falling into the traps, and there kids living through the same mistakes they have.

  29. All the money spent on weapons for Ukraine could solve poverty in the USA overnight
    701
  30. It’s messed up how the government is treating actual citizens. I should throw away all my documents and pretend I am a refugee. It would be a bump in my pay.

  31. I live in Denver and within the past 3 years the homeless & migrants have ruined the city completely. As a native, it’s terrible and definitely not going to change for the better
    699
  32. Mike seemed like a nice, upbeat, positive guy. He's the kind of person that small towns like that need.
    694
  33. This is the most bizarre thing I've ever seen. Illegal migrants are allowed to go wherever, but Nick Johnson, a legal resident of the USA, is not allowed in "restricted" areas.
    691
  34. This is incredibly frustrating to watch.. I'm Canadian and I can see the huge problems even in Canada by leaving the American southern border open like this. Flooding a country with military aged men (Mostly) seems like someone is working on a master plan. And that plan is flooding into my country as well..
    687
  35. I thought America was so rich 😂. Mmmmm They sure can dish the money out to Zelensky in Ukraine but they can’t take care of the homeless 😅PATHETIC

  36. These people could easily make a ton of money working a basic warehouse job making $19-$24 an hour. They could be making 500 a week no problem. Sorry but many of these people refuse to work and only want free stuff. Many vagrants come to Portland because the laws are very relaxed and never enforced when it comes to camping or loitering and career criminals are never put in jail because the DA is a weak man and supports lawlessness and disorder. But there is also the other side of this issue and that is we have many drug addicts who have made poor decisions and are now in a position where they can't help themselves. I've worked in social work here in Portland and the sad reality is that many of these folks do not want help and they do not want to change. They will continue to take advantage of our lack of law enforcement and commit crimes because the DA will not prosecute people and make criminals deal with the consequences of their actions. It is no surprise that Portland is also seeing an incredible rise in vandalism, theft and MURDER. Portland has become a trashy and dangerous place and yet it is still crazy expensive here. Thankfully I will be moving out in a couple months and leaving the violence, trash, smell of feces and urine, graffiti and high taxes behind for good.

  37. New York and California has always been on that List.

  38. It really disgusts me to see how taxpayer money is pissed away on bullshit, when we have this going on everywhere.

  39. Wpuldnt it be amazing if American Retirees and Veterans received this level of care and compassion?

  41. I’m not overweight I’m undertall! I’m still waiting on my growth spurt 😂😂😂
    622
  42. I cannot believe how politicians talk about how great America is, and talk about how good Americans have it. Politicians can be disgusting.
    620
  43. Makes sense that people are happy, when you are poor and only surrounded by other poor people you get a community and don’t have rich people to compare yourself too sounds nice to me
    614
  44. The dude said he couldn't do random food off the street, but random fentanyl was no problem. Holy holy crap.😢
    612
  45. I’m from Mississippi. We don’t have a lot, but the people are good to each other for the most part. Mike was a great representation of how people are down here.
    609
  46. All these so called "ghost towns" or dying towns look way better to me than the large crowded crime infested cities.
    608
  47. Im shocked that Mansfield or Akron didnt crack the top ten😂
    607
  48. Well that was refreshing to see... no tents, boarded up houses, no trash blowing in the streets. Nice to see... keep it up Omaha for the future.
    606
  49. 14 months ago I moved from Tampa, FL to a small, impoverished agricultural down in Tennessee that is much like the Alabama towns you show here, and I must say that I've really come to like the peace and quiet, and especially the wonderful people. During the day I sit on my front porch and enjoy watching the birds and squirrels, and at night I enjoy the croak of the bullfrogs outside. When I was a city-slicker I witnessed my once-beautiful city become increasingly dystopian and dangerous. Here there is a much greater sense of safety. And, you might just be surprised at who you get for neighbors. In a former life I was a NASA engineer. After moving here I was surprised to discover that my neighbor across the street was also a NASA engineer.
