Crap video full of crap. And I've worked in the US myself, and lived most of my life in Canada(being Canadian).

Even up here in Canada, Walmart pays more than the min. wage. Hell it pays more than the average local store, or even larger stores, chain stores, or other bigbox retail stores for PT/FT in terms of wages.

Example in Ontario: Walmart starting wage: 13.25/hr(current min wage 10.25/hr), FT/PT, not counting benefits.
Gas station attendant: 10.55-12.08/hr
Large bigbox store sale clerk: 10.85/hr
L-BB Manager: 13.85-15.80/hr
Mom&pop specialized clerk: 10.85-12.10/hr
Fast food: 10.25-12.10/hr
Non-unionized janitors: 10.25-13/hr
Managers fast food: 13-15/hr
Regional Managers Fast food: 14.25-25.30/hr
Managers Walmart: 16.25-25/hr
Regional managers Walmart 18.80-27.80/hr

And...on top if that here, if you need a hand go to the damned food bank. And stop blowing your money on the latest gadets.

@chingalera
ill take a crack at that deconstruction.
@Sagemind was basically prefacing the fact that the few remaining jobs are low paying crap jobs,like walmart for instance.

but you are correct that it is NOT a job of last resort.
you dont HAVE to apply at walmart.
nobody is FORCING you to work for slave wages.

you could always suck a dick.
handjobs in the local gas station bathroom for a quick buck.
sell plasma,blood,semen.
sell a kidney.
sell drugs..but not weed..might as well work at walmart.

you could always sell your integrity.
i hear wall street is a good place for that,but they require your soul as well.
how about insurance fraud?
reverse mortgages? fuck those old people..they gonna die anyways.

ya gotta eat,so ya do what ya gotta do.

who am i kidding?
while i would never work at walmart nor any corporation,some people have to do what they have to do.
and sometimes its a short list and working at walmart is the trade off for them.

guess they dont like dick.

so im with @Sagemind or is my skewed line of non-reasoning still a retarded polemic?

because at the end of the day who are we to judge anybody for their choices?

I was just wondering about this the other day. At the gas station I go to, some of the pumps have different nozzles for whatever reason. With the blue ones, it shuts off and won't give any more when my tank is only 3/4 full. With the green ones I can fill it up all the way. It's pretty annoying and didn't happen with my old car.

edit: Oh, and not that he necessarily is, but doesn't it strike you that the guy presenting comes off as a little too dim to be presenting this sort of video?

Houston here, and I probably help someone with car troubles on the average about 3 times a month. Went home and got a gas can for a single dad out with his kids (one an infant, the other a 4-yr-old) after overhearing his frustration at the gas station's convenient lack of shelf space for gas cans.

When I rode a motorcycle I assisted more peeps it seemed them being easier to see and me having much more maneuverability...

Common courtesy lost to the pace and lure of society's self-centered programming.

Still, upload a video of myself helping another person out while wearing meine helmkamera from my cam footage of my day on my motorcycle in my daily ramblings??
Is this about him and this mission to teach people manners in another narcissistic chapter of "watch me", perhaps?

I wonder how much though. If you point a laser at the moon then the beam will cover much of its surface. Wouldn't make much of an arson target anyway, although an aspiring tag artist with a powerful, precise enough laser (probably an array of lasers high up in the mountains tbh) with enough time could make a mark.

Anyway, I think your right. The laser wouldn't spread much but I figure you wouldn't have to go that far before the laser beam isnt concentrated enough to produce a flame. Still, point it somewhere with flammable fumes in the air, say a gas station and focus it on something matt, black with a low flash point and you could make it a very bad day for somebody.

If you were homeless before, how were you able to stop being homeless? According to Ron, he is unable to get a job because he is unable to look presentable as well as unable to have a phone number to be called at. I had generally assumed that the majority of homeless people were in their position because they are people who are unable to manage themselves (due to mental disability or whatever else). In my position with the information that I have, if I were homeless right now, I would attempt to gather enough money to buy a prepaid phone from the gas station as well as some decent clothes from goodwill. The combination of these things would make me much more eligible to obtain a minimum wage job.

Would you predict that Ron will pull himself out of the gutter someday?

That's why you check your mirrors before passing.
...also, the guy in the passed car needs to find a gas station soon!

I've had the same New Year's resolution for the past two years.... I made one that I can actually keep.

I started carrying cash for the first time in my life, and whenever I am shopping at a locally owned store, I pay cash to save the shopowners the credit fees. Exception -- gas stations and Safeway.

My little bit for the local economy -- keep the cash local, and it is worth more to the community at large.

It's an incredibly easy resolution to keep -- and for the first time in my life, I have had SUCCESS.

The most consistent thing about the roads themselves is that there are cars on them. More so with parking lots. The Gas Station had way more than enough roof area to cover it's electricity usage, no need for putting panels underneath parked cars.

A light coat of dust on panels can decrease their efficiency by up to 50%... there would have to be a CONSTANT fleet of road washers, slowing down traffic. At least with roof/road mounted panels they can be tilted to shed most of the dust/pollen that accumulates, though they do have to be washed monthly.

And then there's the question of what happens with accidents. Sure, the tensile strength might be as strong as steel, but it's because of the enormous pressure it's under. it only takes one flaw in the surface to make the glass susceptible to shattering... just the thing to make car accidents more hazardous.

Less than half an hour is a lot longer than 2 mins to refuel, even more so that is shortens your battery life with repeated use. You also have to change your lifestyle around that. I can't tell you how many times I refuel in a rush...can't do that shit no more. The range on some of the more traditional EV's are like 70miles. I drive 30 miles a day, so I would have to refill like every other day instead of every other week! That amount of time isn't cheap, this type of car costs you time (see also money). Talk about annoying. Don't get me wrong, this is the tech I want! It just isn't as mature as I would want if I was in the market for a car. And @Jinx nailed it on the head, you need LOTS of these stations for that long a charge time...every gas station will look like a woman's rest room after an event otherwise. This can only be "free" as long as a lot of people don't use it. The capital costs to supply the amount of energy to replace gas is pretty astronomical, overpromising here for sure. Still neat though, let rich people finance the way for EVs still looks like the order of the day
