  1. It's a bunch of tech nerds. They wouldn't be able to lift the guns, let alone fire them in a controlled direction. It would be like a cartoon firefighter hanging on to a hose that's flying all over.

  2. Clearly because there aren't many mistakes being made in the world.

  3. Same reason nobody was held accountable for the 2008 financial crisis.

  4. So George had been on drugs over and over for many many years, and by absolute coincidence, he happen to die when he was held to the ground by Derek? The cop literally had zero to do with the death? Dude was walking and talking "normally" when he was arrested, yet he suddenly died through zero fault of what happened? What a coincidence it must be, eh?

  5. Is it biting your tongue or giving the person rope?

  6. Dems simply won't look inward. Talking about celebrities is proof of just how out of touch these muppets are. I promise you that when you can't afford groceries, you don't GAF about the color of anybody's skin or thier gender, end of story. They just don't get it because they're all multi millionaires.

  7. " and ignored the greedy right-wing capitalists " You are writing that comment on something made to exist because of a giant, greedy corporation and you are publishing it on a platform that is the same. New inventions and innovations were rare in non capitalist societies. You can't embrace and enjoy all the perks capitalism gave you, then shit all over it from a moral high ground. Also, capitalism has empirically lowered the rates of extreme poverty in the last 2 decades in developing nations at a rate that far exceeded the UN's wildest dreams. Capitalism has many flaws, but so far nothing has even come close to improving humanity like it has. Not even close. It's unbelievably disrespectful to tell the other people who don't enjoy your lifestyle that they don't get to have it because capitalism isn't perfect.

  8. Maybe Daily Wire could do a movie about it. Hollywood for damn sure wouldn't.

  9. Tell them to go away and only come back when they find a consorious regime that history was kind to. That should keep them busy for the next eternity or so.

  10. I'd like to see the answers you'd get from an anonymous poll of millenial biologists.

  11. So all the areas that predominantly vote read election after election are a shining example of student achievement year after year?

  12. I wish people would stop taking such a hard life stances about the vaccines. Whether they work or not depends on what your expectations are. It's 100% fact that there are less deaths from Covid amongst people who are vaccinated. It's also true that the vaccines don't stop you from getting nor transmitting Covid, and that they wane drastically over time. It's not an all or nothing topic.

  13. It doesn't matter that they were just collectors coins. They were charging face value and no shipping. I did buy a few hundred dollars worth, I just never thought about buying all of it just to get the points. Collectors coins are still legal tender. I could've bought all of them and then taken them to a bank. @99EKjohn

  14. 1:40 I'd like to see examples of the "negative, toxic images". Also, I want to know what the end goal is from anti gentrification groups is. Do they want the neighbourhoods to be able to keep the same people at the expense of the neighbourhood being dramatically improved? How is that going to help in the long run? I digress though. How does a small mom & pop style business hurt the community? He is not a multinational corp that is going to tear down a character building and build something unsightly. I'd like to hear more of the argument. And if he had integrity, he'd have responded to Reason.

  15. Jon took a very notable turn for the worse after he got his pee-pee whacked for going on the Colbert show (don't get me started) and talked about covid coming from the lab. He admitted his tribe was very angry at him. Right after that he became a different person. He's now a gross apologist for lies and deception all over the place. I really liked him up until relatively recently.

  16. In my city in Canada, they just have either a smiley face or a frowny face depending on if you’re under or over the limit. It’s cute, but going barely over the limit gets you a frowny face so there’s no incentive to go any faster.

  17. It's just pinching the hose. How anyone can say that rising debt isn't a bad thing is beyond me. Rising debt is literally not sustainable, in the most straightforward way. It's basically a way of saying "I will be long dead before it becomes a problem so who cares?"

  18. When asked, the teachers always say it's not being taught. They should be asked if they like it and agree with it or not.

  19. 5:30. No actual direct quotes or evidence given? This is the hallmark of Wokeism and the leftists. The best example of Jordan Peterson. He has constantly accused of things yet there's never a smoking gun. Ever. Dozens and dozens of hours of him speaking and he's written books, and they can't point do a single concrete thing. It's so intellectually dishonest I can't handle it.

  20. The universities that are full of pro-communist people? That would be a no.

  21. Very well put. There is zero chance this will work if they don't get support from the government. End of story. They really need to do a big public campaign, emphasizing that their own constitution for bids expropriation. They also need to fund local community projects. Build some schools and playgrounds etc. You damn well better be making a visible positive difference in the community because being poor does NOT cause people to become depressed and angry. Wealth inequality does. For them it's all a PR campaign. I don't see this experiment ending well, but maybe there are things to be learned from it. Part of the reason I don't see it ending well, that undermines the socialist government's entire message, and reason for existence. Socialism. Then, again, maybe it will work. Stranger things have happened.

  22. When I asked the average person on the street, why they hate Trump so much they will always say that is a terrible ruler, but then I asked them to tell me which pieces of legislation, or what specific policy they are against, they always go back to vague character assassinations.

  23. I'm having a hard time regaining my trust of Weissmueller after I saw a horrific video that he did about the vaccines, Wareham and the other host parroted all the main stream media, talking points about vaccines and all of that stuff. It was awful and I never expected it from a libertarian channel. I don't want to let one video taint the entire channel, so I'm trying to watch more to get back on board.

  25. I believe that if someone gives you a full-time hours, they deserve to be able to live. You should be able to afford to share a shitty 2br apartment with another minimum wage worker, along with food and a bus pass and basic cell bill. The basics. That means the minimum wage should be different in different cities. But to tell someone that full time employment isn't even good enough to live is fucked up. I also can't stand this bs of "It teaches you skills you can use to get better jobs". That's absolute nonsense with even a modicum of thought. Unless you get NEW skills that translate to higher paying jobs, flipping burgers at McD's will not get you anything else other than minimum wage. I say if the business can't afford minimum wage, then you don't have a viable business. Yeah a few less people will be employed but I think it's better to have 80% with jobs that can actually keep them afloat as opposed to 1/2 of them earning fuck-all and driving them deeper into a hole. And if you for one second think that in bad times employers won't abuse the lack of minimum wage laws then you are detached from reality.

  26. Not exactly. The smart people are making fortunes. Play the market to go down, then when it's cheap you by everything for pennies on the dollar.

  27. At the federal level, nobody ever admits a mistake. They just blame it on the other guys. I guess it happens even at a more local level. A city can be run by democrats for 40 years, in a blue state under blue governors under a blue president and they will still somehow blame the other team.

  28. Yup. Apathy is the issue. People are technically capable of so, so much more but they aren't motivated to give a shit and it's so sad because the world would be so much better if people didn't do just the bare minimum to not get fired.

  29. She lost the very last bit of possible respect I had for her when she made a connection between tipping and slavery and structural racism. If I had a dollar for every well off POC woman who told me how hard everybody but the white man has it, I'd be driving a nicer car and renting a nicer apartment. Still not as nice as hers though. These people are no different than telephone scammers.

  30.  @agentsmith3874  Elon gave the middle finger to California and big up's Texas. He said the lockdown rules are nuts. I don't think his baby mama is hating his opinions that badly or she wouldn't be with him.

  32. In Canada it IS a crime, literally, if a court orders it. The court can order you to refer to your own child as a different gender. There are cases in Canada where this has happened and if you don't comply, you are legally in trouble. Canada is scarily going down the path of authoritarianism.

  33. Great video because it shows a bit of both sides. That should always bee the mission.

  34. It's not June 2021 and we're STILL in partial lockdown in Canada. I still can't go to a theatre, and still can't have my neighbour over for dinner.

  35. Bingo. Let's experiment. I'm sick of people saying things can't work when they've never been tried in earnest before. Then, again, no amount of defeat will discourage some people. Look at communism.

  36. 3:50 So the people who are losing their jobs are the ones who make less than twice min wage. So you causing people who make the least to lose the most. Okay then.

  37. It was a joke, on a humorous stage presentation by the man who made Cleese laugh hard multiple times.

  38.  @user-hm5zb1qn6g  Really? Haven't heard that one yet. I worked construction on a project in the absolute worst part of town, so I saw the most horrific parts of this stuff every day. Nothing would surprise me at this point.

  39. I don’t even live there anymore and I got kind of excited to see that too.

  40. No you wouldn't, because no you couldn't. It's like when Parlour was taken out of AWS because Amazon didn't like them. And not only do you require other companies for you to have a site on the web, you need to tow the party line or you'll get shut down way before you get big enough to be able to tell them to fuck themselves.

  41. The San Francisco one is so gross and so California. You can be on your iPhone made by borderline slaves, and using cobalt mined by small children in horrific conditions, but God forbid another state has a policy on bathrooms you don’t like. Virtue signalers make me sick.

  43. Toxic radiation from the plant? No, I'd blame toxic masculinity all around us, then pat myself on the back and use my iPhone to bitch about capitalism.

  44. And this is a good example of why I never take anything for gospel because I seldom have expert knowledge and know all sides of an issue.

  45. 6:00. No. Nope. Absolutley not. Negatron. I wish we weren't moving in this direction, but we are.

  46. Normally I like your stuff, but this video does not live up to your normal standards. It talks out of both sides of its mouth, like saying that automation killed the manufacturing and not sending production overseas, but then also talking about how "millions and millions of workers" can earn a wage and get out of poverty overseas. I was very interested in the answers to these questions but I didn't get real data to chew on. This guy gives things much closer to sound bites that don't have any substance. America is the second biggest manufacturing base in the world, but what was it before? Don't ever give me data that's not relative to anything. One data point doesn't help with anything. It also ignores the fact that the United States has a giant population. You can't compare its manufacturing output to Germany on an even basis. Comparing it to Germany is silly if it's not based on population, and it's silly anyways because Germany has done the same thing as America with outsourcing. I don't really have an opinion on globalization and I was hoping this video would help me come to a conclusion but it doesn't at all. I'm sorry but I'm very disappointed in this video. It was sorely lacking in substance. He also talks about things like how worker output is higher in America. Who cares? That literally has nothing to do with the issue. The issue is whether it is good or bad or a mix to have more things produced overseas. It's also absolute complete nonsense to say that there are less jobs overall but that's a global phenomenon. It's complete nonsense because right after it you specifically talk about all kinds of jobs that went overseas. This feels like a rushed video. Next time I'm really hoping you make a video that's more logical and objective because this one is purely rhetoric.

  48. Evidence based solutions, no less. How can anybody with a conscience not have every school like this? I don't care what it would take to fund it, in 2 generations you'd completely turn around society.

  49.  @travisthompson1679  my point wasn’t specific to this video. I was talking more about the concept in general. In Canada the government can take your land and give you a “fair market value“ whether you like it or not because they want to put a road through there or turn it into condos or whatever. This is extremely common and there’s not thing one you can do about it. A good friend of mine‘s father was the one who took the land from people in one of the biggest cities in Canada. If you bought a piece of land five years ago on the outskirts and wanted to keep it and use it as your retirement plan because you thought in 30 years it would be worth a ton of money, too bad. You have to sell it today at fair market value and if the market is down you can get screwed even on that. And technically the government doesn’t have to give you fair market value. They just do because of the optics.
