  1. The Cossacks called mink "soft gold" and it was as good as cash on the frontier. Clans generally had to pay five furs tax to the Tsar, which were sold for a fortune in Europe. The fur trade is part of what caused Russians to migrate into Siberia.

  2. I love the puppers casually playing in background...

  3. A curious remark, since people who buy jewels prefer the rarest stones.

  4. No matter what it is, you can be sure there's a super expensive version for rich chumps to consume and young men risk their lives to obtain....

  5. The Soviets used a railroad to the launchpad, but that meant there was an awkward process of lifting the rocket upright.

  6. You know this channel would make sure to blame Russia at every possible opportunity, right?

  7. 12:15 Obviously they were not prioritizing big mezcal makers over small ones, they were prioritizing big bribes over small ones.

  8. No one cares. Now shut up and get drafted

  9. It's good food, but beef, pork, and chicken are cheaper where I live. I don't discriminate where I get my protein.

  10. Another thing about the landfills: They're full of batteries. The power in Gaza breaks often and is repaired slowly because they don't know what they're doing, so people that can afford it often run their electronics on disposable batteries.

  11. We've also been 20 years away from fusion power plants ever since 1960......

  12. Former machinist here. There's a lot more work in making those wierd and precisely shaped airplane parts than you think because you can't weld or cast aluminum. You have to start with a block of metal and cut it down until you get the part. Most of the material goes in the recycle and robot cutting machines do most of the work but it might take a semi-skilled worker all day to make 100 VERY SIMPLE parts while the bigger structural parts we did often took three guys all day to make a couple dozen. This is why airplanes are so expensive.

  13. All seafood is sustainable
    33
  14. It's still cheap and perfectly good to eat, so we eat it anyway. It's all about getting the most out of finite acres of land.

  15. The beef industry isn't broken. It's highly automated and highly efficient and the cows have better lives on the farms than they would in the wild.
    25
  16. Almost as if they get paid per click
    23
  17.  @Squintis  Dude, you don't need paid troll to see what you see here

  18. The Soviets didn't let soldiers wear cross necklaces either. Lenin and Stalin were very anti-religious.

  19. Pakistan is also widely short of freshwater due to decades of well building and lack of expertise to make large infrastructure improvements. Many areas even truck in fresh water during the dry months, and even municipal water is visibly dirty

  20. 10:45 not just excessive pesticides, but fake fertilizer. One common of is to use lead nitrate in place of ammonium nitrate, giving the soil the requisite nitrogen but reducing all future crops with each usage.

  21. We all know how sanitation works
    18
  22. Any farmer that turns a profit is kind to the animals.

  23. Proof that quality and luxury are totally unrelated
    18
  24.  @iamagooddog21  I mean it. You're not going to get good meat if you're not nice while they're still alive.

  25.  @__prometheus__  except they were not only free to leave, the sole form of punishment was firing. They were also paid. That's called being an employee, and it's frankly the same conditions early colonists in much of the Americas tollerated. Although for them starvation was an actual possibility.

  26. Like that guy who ate the banana art. Some things are bought to show off how rich you are, which can sustain prices high

  27. Only in modern times can people say that but think nothing of the ham he had for lunch....

  28. One is essential, the other is not.

  29. Will Inside Edition ever show the slaughtering process or is that too R rated for this show?

  30.  @TheTinyRedDot  farmed seafood is fatter and cheaper, which is what a lot of customers want
    14
  31. 2:50 Weird oversimplification. Both Lenin and Stalin confiscated the stock of private business people that would not sell their goods to state store houses at the fixed prices whether they be farmers, merchants, or craftsmen (that was the punishment for refusing collectivization). Many farmers were known to have destroyed their fields so they could not be nationalized, others died fighting rather than being sent to a commune, others joined guerrilla groups and their farms went defunct when they were killed/captured. This is actually why Lenin wanted to collectivize through incentives rather than by force like Stalin, because for many years after being nominally unified under Communism the area was very much a war zone.

  32. Stop it with the preposterous slavery allegories.

  33. These aren't international companies mostly. These are small factories largely operated by clan leaders with government connections.
    12
  34. How traumatizing for you.
    12
  35. Just so we're clear, pearls form when oysters get sharp things stuck inside their privates.
    12
  36. This Eyad guy totally has a Hamas or PIJ connection. That's why he can't get a license to import materials and that is why his factory has been bombed
    12
  37. IDK, we like to be free of your drunken shenangans too.

  38. Let's be frank: The reason fur is less common is because rising populations means there's less wild animals like mink to go around.

  39.  @pirakkaesh  that's laughable. Now finish your bacon

  40. These aren't kefalas, these are ordinary Masri. And the middle man is probably just a struggling small time trader too, because if there were big companies involved they'd bring in diamond tipped cutters and proper safety equipment and someone who knows what they're doing.

  41. The Egyptian government lacks both the funds and expertise to make a difference.

  42. He's just making tea but he's clearly having fun...

  43. Funny. Now pass the chicken.

  44. Canola oil and corn oil are frankly faster and easier to produce. That's why they're cheaper.

  45.  @Ass_of_Amalek  people live where there is work.....

  46. A case of putting the cart before the horse. What good is a sallary when there's no market it spend it?

  47. They get fires, just not this big inside major cities
    7
  48. Houses burning use to be a routine issue but now we have building codes and sprinklers and don't use open flame heating so most of the fire damage now is crazy out of control blazes like this.

  49. Also the price of aviation limits the number of crafts in existence

  50. @Giu dude, these guys were hunter-gatherers before getting hired.
