Coronavirus IV: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (HBO)

Trickles down your pants like shit...
The US is a fucked mess. The US is AT BEST a developing country and a banana republic

It's going to cost much more than a Caribbean cruise, and if you're intubated, that car would be a Porsche.

Aye. This pandemic exposes vulnerability and strength of countries,and their leaders

Well said

Welcome to Neoliberalism... The US used to be on it's way to becoming a pretty great country... About some 40 years ago that was
The EU countries took a bit longer to embrace unfeathered capitalism but aren't all that far behind... Everything in my country has been sold off to the highest bidders already

Alastor Damn, that is too fitting

Omg this comment is so great. This reminds me of my procrastination.

I'm guessing your grandfather wasn't a comedian.

@@edgzta mine too!

@@edgzta Did you know a lot of people self diagnose with insomnia, when they actually procrastinate sleep? If you are one of these people you should try going to sleep earlier so you can look forward to doing things when you wake up, instead of going to sleep being when the 'fun' ends.

I thought it was part of a bit and he was going to say those were actually real photos

Still life imagery is rarely something that speaks emotional volumes, it showcases the intricacies in everyday objects. An ex of mine once painted pairs of scissors. You're meant to appreciate aspects you pass off when it's not painted, like the colors or shadows or texturing. You also, conveniently, want to make sure it's something that not everyone else is doing, so everyone picks something different, for the most part.

I agree. I kinda thought they were lovely. Were they ground breaking and amazing? No. But it does take work to paint.

@@ashleyneku5432 that's fucking bullshit. Just like an intense written description of a room can inspire an emotional response, a well-composed still-life painting is absolutely capable of eliciting an emotional response.
Emotionality isn't about the subject, it's about the techniques used, and the use of color and composition

Ignoring that fact that it takes so much skill to make photorealistic art (hey if anyone can do it, why can't you or i?), I mean at its heart art isn't just about creativity, it's about about expressing yourself, not just the style you use to express it. If she's really trying to convey the idea of what's needed and yet missing then I think she has done a fantastic job at it.

@@ehall5151 He'd have to be crazy to get anywhere near John!

Is it a random joke? or is there a back story?

@@LmM-dq4ft I don't know if this is true or not, but I heard that John's wife has a crush on Adam Driver, and this is his way of teasing her over it.

Justin Clowater Why can I see this being true. Why do I want this to be true.

By an EMT of all people.

@@jsprowse Most EMTs are employed by private companies. Unfortunately private companies will absolutely screw over their employees to save a buck.

the thing is that you can go. you'll just go bankrupt

Someone who provides healthcare can't get healthcare.🤔I don't have insurance now, but when I did, the deductible was so high I still couldn't afford to get sick or injured. I can't afford insurance at all now. If I get Caronavirus, I'm either going to survive or die at home so I don't bankrupt my family with medical bills. Welcome to America: the richest country on earth.

america needs to catch up with the world and get universal healthcare wtf

Well said my friend...

EXTREMELY well said, thank you!

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAANG GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANGG!!!

Run for president, Cedric!

We also need more affordable and more self sufficient utility systems. Electricity costs for many of our homes are currently over twice as costly per year as water and gas combined. We need to have systems in place where we can be more self sufficient and be less reliant on utility companies.

To be clear, the “good” side here only has like 2 or 3 people actually pushing for universal health care. The rest just want to fix what the other side has recently done and not bother looking at any fundamental problems.

And we vote for hail Hydra almost every time

Honestly, no American politicians are good, I don’t trust any of them really. Of course they’ll say what their voters want them to hear, they just have to find a demographic and hang onto it
Wait, wait, no. Washington was probably the only good president we’ll ever have. Always thought of the nation he was building, always thought what’s best for its people and it’s future people, left because he was concerned staying would make him too powerful (Also probably exhausted from all the things he did the previous decade) Don’t see ANY politician nowadays worrying “Am I keeping myself in check? Is this what’s right?”

Worst is that 30% will vote for Hydra no matter what

@@heath6802 "Honestly, no American politicians are good, I don’t trust any of them really."
You can probably extend this to most politicians on federal or state levels. On community level it is a different story.

No one will. They just won't

Unfortunately very true. While the people in good positions/jobs can often easily work from home. I wouldn't exactly call it fair either.

There are a lot of people that still don’t. I work at a Joanns and we have only been allowing customers to do curbside pickups and many of them still treat us horribly, cursing, rude, trying to get into the store even when we say they can’t, yelling etc. I have coworkers that want to go on a leave of absence because they can’t take the way the customers have gotten worse.

I hope we all remember, and vote accordingly.

My dad works at a grocery store and everyone’s being a complete asshole to the workers there.

yes he did ! (still, I prefer dialogue over monologue)

Tentatively signed

That is an excellent idea. Signed.

absolutely yes

Some people here in the US really dig their heels into rugged individualism so much that they forget help and community isn't a bad thing.

But does it actually come through? Do people actually get their benefits? How long do they have to wait? Are their any exceptions?

Alot of U.S citizens are so fucking selfish. I make 800 a month and I give more than I should

Yes, some Americans think that taxes are robbery and refuse to see how it helps everyone. They "don't want to pay for someone else's birth control." They think they are completely independent and that everyone should fend for themselves.

You also probably get paid more per dollar. But yes, America is a country for the rich not the poor.

i hope he starts giving us full dances

So cute 😂

Kinky

John Oliver: Bi Exhibitionist Swinger Hero

PosthumanHeresy - what does THAT superhero outfit look like?

Just, fetishizing the inclusion of your wife on ''secret parts'' of life they're all too often left out of, lied about, even though they're your best friend. Parts of you that she absolutely must perv on cuz she married you, which is kinky in itself. A woman basically said she found the one that fits her, forevs. Letting her in, so she can feel her part in it and deal with that twisted feeling. her own way, yet together, is just top shelf spousal play.
It's like, the text you want her to 'catch' on screen on the couch, only to see it's all about getting her between the two of you flirting away about the things you want to do with her, because she's just so curious. If she's not game, she'll say something. If she plays along and acts like she saw nothing, well... that's when you'll know.

@@Krystalmyth I mean, this unexpected, insightful essay on John's intimacy should have been featured on an episode. I'm both wondering how much time you've been thinking about this, and amazed at the same time.
Cool.

Galimeer5 yeah now I’m gonna an hero

@sifujacob they do but they're killing their employees. Worl conditions is the biggest issue.

But more like one of those pre-Tolkien heroes, you know, the ones that usually go through 10x the crap they should to reach their goal, or who die at the end?

@sifujacob Bezos could be paying his employees 20 to 30 dollars an hour and still be the richest man alive.
Even more so since his hundreds of thousands of employees will have more money to buy Amazon stuff, just how Henry Ford intended it.
He's both a psychopath, and short sighted. He's real life Lex Luthor.

@sifujacob It depends on where you live. $15 an hour would be great if you were in Joplin, MO but if you're in NYC, that sucks.

Sums up the world right now.

it'd likely be cheaper to treat the workers like royalty and let reporters give them all the free press they could ever want

@@ayushthetic the USA isn't the world

Do you wanna spend a one-off payment in publicity stunts or actually put a huge increase in your wage expenses...?
Corporate logic is cold.

Well 1 add = y money, while actually paying is millions of $. I do not know how much y is or could be, but i think it is way less than actually paying all the employees.

thank you this exactly our "bonus" was free meals instead of just 50% off and the minute our state lifted quarantine we went back to regular prices and less than 2 weeks later we had 3 people out with corona no one is enforcing masks and I'm scared that I'm gonna die leaving kids behind fuck Wendy's

Just a quick point: Masks yes, gloves no. Gloves do nothing but transfer contamination from one surface to another. You do not contract COVID through the skin on your hands. Hand sanitiser is not designed to be used on latex, it is designed to be used on skin. It can actually degrade the latex and make it more prone to transfer infection. As well as a mask everyone should be carrying some sort hand sanitiser. Gloves should not be worn outside of healthcare settings (where there are very strict procedures, training, and guidelines/indications for PPE) unless dealing with specific risks like chemical exposure or blood/body fluid exposure. Just wash and sanitise your hands like crazy. To protect yourself, and protect others. All gloves do is prevent people from practicing correct hand hygiene.

@Julie W. It's a trade off. Antimicrobial soaps and sanatizers are more effective against viruses too, and the superbug issue has far more to do with medicine than cleaning supplies, since brute chemical force (the thing sanatizers and soaps use) is much harder for bacteria to adapt against. kurzgesagt did a good job explaining about super bugs on their channel. Really though, the far more important part is that you wash your hands regularly, regardless of what soap you use.

@Julie W. are you actually saying that using stuff to clean bacteria and viruses off you’re hands shouldn’t be antibacterial or antiviral? That’s fucking stupid.

I work at Dairy Queen, and I relate to everything you said. I can hardly pay rent thanks to mostly the pandemic, but also my ex just randomly deleting me from the schedule, because he just wants to be a dick I suppose.
I genuinely believe humanity's idea of "prosperity" is inherently flawed and we need to take a good, long, hard look at ourselves in the mirror to decide if allowing billionaires to treat the world like a fleshlight and avoid any consequences for it whatsoever, thanks to their money, is *really* what we want our world to be like.

I want there to be an Adam Driver reacts to Thirst Tweets video but it's just want John said

Modern-day prophet.

yup, but we are americans, enriching insurance companies at the detriment of the poor is the american way.

Keep voting for trump

@@pathevermore3683 hehehe, it cant be more true that statment xD other then car , life ,and some bits and bobs shoude be the only insurance one shoude need, the rest shoude be coverd by the companies,like work place injury .

Benjamin Valencia
Shut up

@@kingofthebis1068 Look at his others posts. He doesn't mean it like you think he would.

And despite the fact they passed this $2 trillion aid package, Trump and his henchmen have done all they could to sabotage it and make it harder for people to actually receive any benefits. And though many of those harmed ARE the trump supporters, they believe Fox News and support him even more for it, like some messed up submissive masochists who think they're fking Job and Trump is God.
Meanwhile, in Europe, countries worked in January and February to pass packages that paid *employers* up to 80% of the cost of their employees' wages if they DID NOT lay them off. But Trump was too busy then telling everybody it was under control -- that there "was only 15 cases and in two weeks it was going to be like zero" (sic.) only to gaslight the nation a month later with this crap about how he always took it seriously.

Insert conservative response about how it's not *my* responsibility to deal with *your* problem because *you* chose to do the actions that got *you* into *your* situation because *you* didn't do the *right* thing *every* single time, (even though your situation is -mostly- entirely out of your control and you had no way to stop it.) But if *I* have to be inconvenienced without *my* consent then *I* am being oppressed (even though it may benefit me or someone I know later in the future) because it's *my* tax dollars *you* want *big* *government* to bail *you* out despite *your* *irresponsible* actions. Then preceding to attack you with ad hominems on how *you* are either lazy or stupid because if you were a "hard worker" and "responsible" "and intelligent" then you'd be wealthy. (thereby implying that poverty is a cause of moral vices and dismiss the structural reasons of poverty). Then continue on with how *your* not *entitled* to a free anything... communism... mental disorder... moral decay... facts and logic...

Because our bills are someone's salary.

Ah, but it impacts the poor most, making it harder for them to fight the system that is crushing them. EVERYTHING is political once you have decided it is. If you can't get out of bed, if you can't afford a bus to one of the five polling stations, all of which are on the other side of the state, well, too bad.
France had a solution to all this. But it should wait till we CAN safely gather in crowds bearing torches and pitchforks. REMEMBER, GUN STORES ARE STILL OPEN, there ARE solutions to our political war of fascist vs humanist.

@@thesoundsmith kill those fucking pieces of shit.
Yeah put me on your watchlist so you dont pay attention to the ones who are gonna actually get you. Lol

EMTs get 0 support. I feel bad for them. I work at a hospital. They don't even have clean masks, hospitals wont give them out since we need them. They should get hazzard pay

I actually am more annoyed that people "value" his job better than the McDonalds worker that is forced to go to work with Corona virus to serve you a hamburger. Yeah he's an EMT, but why do we pretend that ANY job is acceptable and moral to go without healthcare and sick leave?

@@SherrifOfNottingham I think it's even worse that these people (cashiers, factory workers, delivery men/women, etc.) are supposed to be "thankful" that they have to work without adequate protection because it is supposedly a privilege to have a job. A lot of people that are working have been forced to have to choose between their job and their health & security

Its time to eat the rich.

for year - all time actually ... EMTs not given any respect. Considering the cost of the Ambulance ride - they should get 10% at least per trip.

Forget it. These dumbasses still think having one gun for each inhabitant is a good thing, and their most watched TV channel is a right-wing propaganda outlet. At this level of stupidity, I don't think much can be expected of them.

Everything that isn't hard right is Socialism, and socialism bad is how those kinds of fools think

Here in the US, if you mention anything about socialism, you'll inevitably get somebody asking very condescendingly if you know what the S in NSDAP stands for.

Even eastern Europe feels developed when you see how things are run in the US

Our system is the most corrupt thing in America

You can see it in his eyes, too. As the show goes on, he gets more and more furious. I think this situation is hurting him probably more than most, because his words are falling on the deaf ears of the people who need to hear it the most.

Ife ka Terry lying to the mass public probably not a smart move

@@prshadowcat two questions :
1: are Americans getting angry about this too ?
2: will they vote with this anger, or just wimp out . . . Again ?

Is he talking about the many different types of media praising the CCP for their actions against the CCP virus?

Stewart would be proud.

The Stig hahahahahahahahaha

That sounds brilliant, like something John Oliver would say

The Stig and compassion and sanity......

The Stig I thought liberals hated liberty now your celebrating it?

@@ellyr7an First, liberals invented liberty. If liberals never came along, we'd all still live under a king and send children to work in the mines.
Second, it's not a partisan observation to point out how many uninformed opinions Americans love to have.
Third, 'your' is possessive. You need the contraction 'you're/you are' in that context. Maybe get some of that liberal education.

I am the same here. I work at a public school, and even though the state governor had long ordered that schools remain closed to students and all learning shift to remote for the rest of the school year, our administration still pressure all staff to come into the building and work (preparing worksheet packets and other inane measures because we don't have enough computers and internet access for families). They've also already told us that we won't get pay raises next year because of the state budget cuts.
Overall, I don't know about you, but I am so sick of *money dictating everything,* from whether we have sufficient staff and resources to adequately serve our families, to now not even having enough hospital beds and ventilators for victims _dying_ from COVID. If you have not heard about a *Resource Based Economy,* I highly encourage you to learn more about it: krplus.net/bidio/ntKvhZV6gH_QaJQ

At a different time it was possible. I live in the rust belt and traditionally when you graduated high school you either went to college or went to the steel mill or other factories good salary good health insurance. But when 2007-2008 rolled around those jobs went bye bye. Damn near gone. Still haven't fully recovered over 10 years later. Forcing most people to have to go to lower wage jobs who don't offer health insurance.

@@elmogreen107 I think you're missing what he's saying. To be reliant on a job that could disappear to get health insurance is far too precarious a situation to be in. You have a job at a company that offers health insurance or you are out of work or at a company that doesn't offer health insurance. Your health shouldn't be dependant on a job. That's too random.

The most glaring flaw in our health-care systems is that they are FOR PROFIT. Nothing like gouging people who are faced with a brutal choice between expensive health care or illnesses and even death. That's the 'Murican Way!

@@pscar1 I learned this early on, soon after I graduated from college. The economy started to tank and I was eventually laid off. My insurance eventually ran out. One night, I slipped on some ice and fell on my back. I should've gone to the emergency room, but I knew I wouldn't be able to afford the medical bills.....Years later, I got an MRI and learned that I had a compressed disc. Thankfully, it doesn't bother me much.

HuckFlynn1138 We’re all here to support the welfare state for the rich

HuckFlynn1138 The government isn’t trying to build a permanent welfare state it is trying to build a partial welfare state. The only reason to have a welfare state right now is because the government isn’t allowing people to work. When people are allowed out of there houses and can work then a welfare state isn’t the only option for people to make money. Also countries like Italy that do have permanent welfare states don’t seem to be doing to well.

It feels way more serious when there is no audience

He even said one of the reasons why is because in England people dont laugh out loud at comedy shows

Because you have health care

It’s the standard episode treatment, I would recommend a VPN, there’s so many invisible episodes you don’t even know exist, like the WWE episode or the mobile home episode

Because Bell have first right to air.

I mean, do you have a "holy police" that goes around chopping people's heads off for speaking "blasphemy". If the answer is yes then I would say that its pretty barbaric to kill people for having "the wrong opinion" about your religion.

What country?

This comment deserves to be seen by a lot more people. I'm from the U.S. and hearing that whatever county you're from is doing better than the US. Is really good to hear. The U.S. has to rethink it's systems regarding healthcare ECT. and hopefully it's beliefs about being above other countries. We're a proud arrogant country and hopefully that reality doesn't last forever. That being said, around the world (the U.S. included) there are acts of tremendous compassion and solidarity. I hope that continues and grows.

Yes to all of this, but except it's not just republicans. It's also neoliberalism in general which includes plenty of (if not most) democratic congress members. They all look out for their own: corporate elites.

@@thebatonmaster ok but Republicans own 2 of the 3 branches of government. Who has the power to change it

Other tax paying citizen: I wish we could tax billionaires at normal rates, but If I had a billion dollar's I'd want my income to be taxed as long term capital gains, too.

What thebatonmaster said. Both partisan parties are 2 sides of the same coin. If you stop playing into the pandering of social issues that both parties play, you'd notice they both do the same corrupt bs but for the benefit of different companies and foreign interests.

this is so right .. this election is so revealing ..see dems have won already .. their only real goal was to stop bernie sanders .. and he was way to soft for the job.. but he was a chance .. they hate trump but they are benefiting from his tax cuts just like rep .. are makes no difference who wins biden or trump both will not do anything to help working people .. so i will at least write in bernie sanders as a protest vote ..lol and it will piss off hillary so there is that

Wyatt Corbin this is my situation and it fucking sucks. my entire workplace opened a month ago so of course nobody has any pto or accumulated leave. most of us are 17 or 18-20, young adults who recently moved out and dont have any more support from parents. so many of my coworkers are going to be homeless and there’s nothing we can do, no jobs we can find.

I graduated from college a few weeks ago and a lot of my friends are absolutely screwed right now. Job and internship offers are being revoked left and right, and if a graduating senior didn't get a job offer before March, they probably won't be able to now

I got $2400 deposited today

It also doesn't help that the money made through any form of unemployment negatively affects your financial aid if you're attending college in some states.

Except Kroger and Amazon are both paying hazard pay to their employees. I'm not sure about Wal-Mart, but I'm sure they are too.
The company I work for, The Save Mart Companies is paying all their employees $3.50/hr more if you work at least 40 hours and $2.50 more if you're part time.

Nory-chan - It's a PR exercise. People are waking up finally to the great financial inequities under which they live and seeing these corporations and their owners for what they are. The pandemic has exacerbated the situation. Made it plainer. And the owners are frightened of the bad publicity. So a cheap public Thank You, the smiley face solution, will do the trick, make us look like good guys. Anyone fooled?
With coronavirus sickness being a 'force majeure', surely there should be no time limit on paid sick leave if a person has the virus and is at home or in hospital recovering from it. Some people recover quickly, others slowly. Bezos could probably afford to personally pay for all his staff to have sick pay and health insurance for the duration of the pandemic and not see a change in his lifestyle. And the paltry 'hazard pay' cited below is hardly going to cover anyone's medical bills or pay the bills.

@@kingzach74 I'm a delivery driver in PA and we got a whopping $2 dollar per hour raise. That's it. Where is this hazard pay that you speak of?

I hope soon enough we get the health care people deserve I'm sorry your country let you down but I hope with this new election we can vote for those who help us rather than favors

@@elizabethcarlos3883 Bernie is already out,. So all lost is hope

@@msergio0293 by the looks of it, bidens got all hands on deck behind him and the facts are clear. Trump has not been doing well so it doesnt look to good for anyone if you ask me

taking two seconds to appreciate your seamless use of "magnanimous "

Jeff Bezos has enough money to solve this single handedly. He chooses not to.

Good point

And have them lose money? Perish the thought!!!

Hell yeah man same with Walmart and target and kroger

😤😔😔 if only

LoL LOL too bad the DNC pushes him out smh

One who is extremely dedicated and has been for years, has a long history of being a competent politician, and also believes in science, saving the planet, and being a decent human being to LGBTs

Italy has it!

So interesting how it seems nothing will change if Joe it's elected. I had real hope with Bernie. The system is broke. It needs change. 😢

There is always sunshine after the rain. Stay safe friend

AAAAAAAAMEN

No offence to anyone, but John Oliver is getting nostalgic to me. It used to be entertaining, but his cyanide is just too much happiness. o_o)

John is funney.

John is really good at highlighting issues that are underreported. I wish he would talk about how everywhere coronavirus is being used for political gain. In Poland the conservative ruling party is forcing through an election in the middle of a PANDEMIC: krplus.net/bidio/p9Bxp6V0loLaqHI While in Hungary, the president used coronavirus to seize power: krplus.net/bidio/ZMisomVpgaSXnoI It's part of a wider shift towards authoritarianism. Lessons for America?

Most of it was probably stock footage. I doubt cameramen for stock footage is essential

AD Block Plus is your friend. I never see ads.

That is definitely true.

She is.
But, like his wife with art, he does absolutely nothing in his area of expertise...

I thought the same thing! Really beautiful paintings. It's nice to see nice things when you're stuck inside.

The paintings were like a amazing singer with nothing to say. Yeah they are technically good, but they have little value in the way of expression.

Yeah, and it's totally normal for painters to paint hanging cloth to practice. I guess once you're good at it, you can keep doing it or move on. She kept doing it apparantly.

Yeah, like everyone in the country ensures that anyone in need, at any time, can access whatever healthcare services they require. It's just human decency, looking out for the people around you, as they look out for you.

Because anything that even hints at socialism scares the hell out of some people in this country.

40 years of propaganda will fuck a country and it’s people up😕

Evelina M
Yeah. It’s called *a society*
The US is more like a cut-throat, dog-eat-dog game show where only the biggest gangs succeed.

I agree 100% with you. I can’t understand either!

That story actually hurt to read

I am surprise with the Ignorant De Santis!!:(

This is just stupid enough to be real. Wow

While despicable & outright inhumane, well it's Florida, so no shocker there. SMDH

His name will be on the ballot

@@majdavojnikovic
That won't stop me from writing in "Mickey Mouse"

I still don't know why he did it ..With the current situation he was basically destined to win
I am starting to think that this is just a joke or a scam for him

If not that, maybe cheaper health care.
The cost of an ambulance is so high it would be cheaper to fly to another country for cure.

@@HeyCupertino The mouse will then go on to lead a cruel, brutal dictatorship that will cast a shadow over the country for decades to come. He will be Supreme Leader Mao-se

Too sad that the people would reject these ideas when other nations simple consider this common sense

Bernie doesn't want to be president.

Why can't Bernie win through protest votes

I know and it's so sad that more people don't realize that and wake the fuck up. We had 2 chances for a president who could help to affect *real* change in Washington but we fucked it up both times. If Bernie won and we could take the Senate (there are like 20+ seats up and we only need like 4 or 5 of em) real change could happen. We deserve whatever shitty president we get I guess. I wish there weren't so many stupid people voting against their own interests, blinded by propaganda. And it's so depressing that the best this country can offer is 2 75yo sexual predators of varying degrees with varying stages of dementia. I know people in my daily life who would do a better job leading the nation. This country is turning into a banana republic thanks to this awful administration working to make the checks & balances in our govt non-functional. And very sadly it would appear they're succeeding.

@@jamesw657 well let's just say that if by the time America done by this America will be a very different nation

Please thank your father for everything he is doing. Stay Safe!

Sorry our Shithole country's 'leaders' cldn't give a shit if it even occured to them.

@MrAlphaArc: Stupidvisor tells an EMT B/I/P to settle down/stop acting crazy/behave, kindly make sure they provide him w/the following:
*Written/signed orders to report for duty w/o proper PPE. Telling us to hit the streets w/o the gear violates standing orders, which damn well better be fully documented. 2nd Rule of medicine is documentation. If it isn't written down, it didn't happen. REMF is signing their confession; that becomes exhibit A in 1st murder charges should I fall in the line of duty (malice precludes manslaughter.)
*A properly signed/notarized DNR (do not resuscitate) order for every single desk jockey up/down the command chain. When each/all contract SAR2, no heroics will be expended by the line animals to revive the meatheads, who can be diagnosed w/chronic mental deficit that could render advanced life support protocols futile.
Like Archie Bunker said: Meat. Head. Dead, from the neck up...
*Have a serious face to face w/medical commander. Failures in standing protocols can permanently damage a medical license.
*Don't get mad. Get even. - Robert F Kennedy
*Fight the power - Public Enemy - Fear of a Black Planet
TEMS Tactical Paramedic.

As someone who is related to several medical professionals, I believe that there should be widespread prosecutions of hospital administrators after this is over.
Employers are required to provide proper PPE when employees are placed in hazardous settings.

I would've slapped whoever said that to me in the face

I totally relate. Grocery store. Good luck to you. This whe thing has made me despise this world. I had to seek a team of mental health professionals. I connect with you on this

If they call you heros they dont have to think about it too hard and still pat themselves on the back.

I absolutely agree. Liquor store manager, and why are we even essential?!?!

Aditya Randhawa "Essential" to keeping morale up, I guess. Same with Amazon still selling stuff like books. This thing won't just blow over in a week or two, and people need to be kept busy.

I'm sorry for this. I am so sorry. You need true care

Because we collectively do not care about people

Because they’re a monopoly that has taken over the industry.

AND THE RUSSIAN REVOLUTION and FRENCH REVOLUTIONS.

Lol Amazon is keeping them floating a lot of Amazon boxes are sent by USPS. My mom delivery Amazon Sunday with USPS ... every Sunday

Postal worker here, yes he does!!!

Yeah...a dismantling which just so happens to be taking place right before a pandemic-stricken election, in which mail-in voting is the most highly sought-after form of participation!

Has happened so many times that I wonder how the post office even functions.

Thanks, don't feel bad for us. We brought this on ourselves. Look who we voted as our president. A fucking dumbass Cheeto.

@@cann5565
Self-knowledge in a nutshell right there! 😂😂😂👍

why are all the examples of socialist ideas not working nations that the US has abused for decades

Socialism in itself is an idea. Social democracy is between capitalism and socialism. Feel like Americans hear socialism and think about Stalin (that was communism, corrupt ofc). Granted I'm glad a lot of people were inspired by Sanders and I wish you all the best.

@@christophluger793 The Socialists in Sweden are incompetent in handling this virus and also have the oversight of a healthcare system that is unprepared and underscaled, since it is all payed for by government funds. So no, Socialism, or the bastardization from Social Democrats, is not a good idea.
