The reality is in a country like Jamaica where people are able to grow food nobody's starving there. I've had three trips to the Philippines in the past year and a half.

The world has seen great empires; Ancient Greek, the Roman empire, British empire, and one thing caused the collapse of all these empires, huge Armies. The desire to maintain dominance is what has brought about the collapse of these great empires, and America has followed the same path. Armies do not build economies, they drain economies, what you bare witness to is the beginning of the end, and just as the British did in the past, a few years from now Americans will realize that the one thing they take such great pride in, is the thing that has brought about the collapse of their beloved nation.

You are right!

Look like Haiti in the making.

@@cody4916 it’s not a biological thing it’s a education and cultural problem. Black people were pushed to ghettos during segregation. The people grew up in job lacking,poverty stricken,drugs pumped by the government and they had no desire to further their education or aim for higher jobs because they weren’t accepted in higher society and over time this became a cycle of violence and poverty. It’s not a black people problem there’s not a special gene that makes them violent it’s just that majority of them are born into cycles in ghettos and only few can break that cycle. The ghettos are dangerous because they’re poor not because they’re black.

You must have a decent system of law enforcement. Some cities in the US are lacking in leadership and some mayors and some prosecutors have been known to restrict the enforcement of the law in some special cases. During a riot in Baltimore a mob was looting a shoe store. A bystander asked one of the policemen why they weren't doing anything and was told to ask the mayor. These cities are almost exclusively cities with Democrat leadership. Apparently we are still a work in progress. @@peterkoller3761

Think that's where part of the capitalism blame comes from. Rich people usually do very well with capitalism and they don't get that wealthy without being a shitty person. A shitty person is the greedy capitalist that doesn't give a shit about the people making them the money as they'll just abandon them when the profits dry up. They made their money, bought their legislators, and will only do what is best for them to keep their wealth going. These type of people will not be satisfied with $1 billion in profits per year if they can pack up shop and double or triple that profit in some other country they can shit all over and abandon. This is basically what capitalism leads to in the end and that perhaps maybe a little bit of capitalism, little bit of socialism, little bit of whatever-else-ism should be considered because clearly what we have only works if you're the one on top.

@@308pof I wish that where true. A lot of towns in California only offer lower paying jobs. San Luis Obispo is a great example. It's one of the most expensive small metropolitan areas in the country, yet most of the jobs are hospitality and retail. There's people who live there where a household of two holds 4-6 jobs just to keep a roof over their heads. A lot of the housing was bought up by rich people from the bay area or Los Angeles and are used as vacation rentals or just sit empty for when they decide to have their own vacation, and that's dwindled the housing supply. SLO isn't the only place this is happening, either. Mendocino is seeing it, Tahoe is seeing it, Truckee, the little towns in the gold country, and along the coast. Their economy is based almost wholely on tourism to save them, but now it's become so excessive that it's starting to cause a decline because there is little to housing and what housing is left is so expensive that it's too expensive for the people who work in the industry that keeps those places afloat. It's absolutely insane.

It's true what y'all said about having no hope, but if you're healthy you can find some kinda work instead of living off of hard worker's taxes!!

That being said though, I find it pretty ironic for how much Americans love perpetuating that statement to the absolute bone, only to end up becoming that statement in the years to come.

Work for a few months, go to food banks, buy cheap. Then enlist in community college, the poorer you are the more grant money you get. I was able to go for free, so will these kids.

Things were better back then especially if you have social capital. Poor folks tend to live around other poor folks...and college cost way more than it did twenty years ago and schools in poor areas tend to be grossly underfunded, therefore that means that even the smartest and most ambitious kid from undeserved areas tend to fall behind academically so once they get to college, they will have to take remedial level math and science, which means more time in school along with extra student loans to take out which leads to more dept and more poverty. Generational Poverty is not easy to escape.

What you say is true. We need books on the best seller lists and movies by important directors. There needs to be massive, in-your-face reporting on the real America and the real ppl living there. It may take a long-time to get any improvement, but nonetheless, it needs to get started or America will be the "No Hope" capital of Earth.

Agree! What's even sadder, in my opinion, is the money we waste, for example, on enormous salaries for sports players and some entertainment figures. Absolute millions upon millions, while others starve or die due to poor/nonexistent health care. It's disturbing. Finland is doing a great job supporting their homeless and addicted. There is a youtube video about it. The US needs to follow that same program which, for example, takes advantage of old and disused apartment buildings to create free or affordable housing. The problem is these issues aren't pretty, or fun, or even of interest to most Americans (and our politicians) to bother finding solutions. We're a very self-centered culture, quite different from yours. Those of us (like you and I) who do care are, sadly, in the minority. Thanks for your very informative comment!

You need industry. When jobs LEAVE. The city decays.

Well go fix one up for its potential. Good luck my friend.

Check out Obama Oligarchs.

I like the idea of moving them best buildings together to make a new smaller city surrounded by green space

@@nicsky20 do you know how expensive it is to move a house? Its not just hooking a truck and pulling hey. Leave the house where it is and demo everything around it and presto land to raise cows around that house. Easiest and fastest and cheapest way is just dump some gas and burn the whole city down. A few weeks later be nothing left. Use bull dozers to push the remains into new hills then cover in fresh soil.

I was born and raised in Omaha and left about 20 years ago and I left because it was a bit scary, everyday a shooting or a murder or a bank robbery or a carjacking. It was a good place to grow up in.

You dont see something that you dont wanna see...mhm According to the above comment its not all cakes and roses there

@@_____J______ I live on the opposite side of Iowa........

nobody keeps anyone separated,,, if that was so... I would be much happier!

It's not about the people it's about wealth if you don't think this is coming to town near you,.you are fooling yourself this is happening because of your greedy wealth corporation owners those globalist have no loyalty for Americans or America they deal on a global level. Our quality of live is in free fall and your blaming the people from the community your blaming the wrong people.

Nothing scary about cairo except for the emptiness

@@showmestatefinest5412 True that a lot of these towns have abandoned areas. IT was like that in the large areas of St. Joseph, MO and Elizabethtown, KY, and also many of the smaller towns in Arkansas. I always notice during my travels.

Isn’t that where the scary bridges are? I wanna say it’s their I’ve been back-and-forth across them twice in my life and said between those two bridges I would never ever leave in the winter there was any snow on the ground at all

@@marionpeebles3836 Yes, they are pretty scary because they are so narrow.

That's what Putin has done - putting reality before Americans.

Drugs and brainless gangs

I have seen it happen in Chicago myself. My grandparents raised 5 kids in south Chicago. Then they moved to a place called Dolton, IL. It got so bad we moved in with my grandma after my grandpa passed. She didn’t want to leave her neighbors or her hood but it was so bad there we couldn’t go to school with metal detectors unless my parents paid for Catholic school. Don’t get me started on the project, rober Taylor homes Cabrini green. All ruined. I have lived a few places in Illinois and have been living in Missouri since the end of 07. Can’t find the perfect place to live. That’s why home is where the heart is. I’m sad for my old home Chicago and I hope they can get it cleaned up. Lots of love in that city, and used to have lots of humanity.

@@ladyfreedomsrawnarratives super sad to see what's going on with our once beautiful small towns - from what I can figure out, the massive highway system in the 1950/1960/1970s and car centric suburbs really carved up the small businesses in the towns - plus all the big box stores and shopping centers you have to drive to - it's like this country is just one big shopping center

They still look nice to me, just filled with bad people

Places like this are ALL OVER the USA. Look channel Lord spoda. According to him, most were nice places to live, and then the 80s hit and 40 years later this is the USA

@@user-ei8mz8rp4h It’s little in comparison of how much the US spend on its many wars

so sad..it looks like my continent Africa

@@user-ei8mz8rp4h yep we have poverty in the UK too but I don't think as bad as that. As far as I know there's nowhere like skid row in the UK. I'm not saying the uk doesn't have massive problems but the states seem to have it much worse

@@clarencecarter1964 😢

​@clarencecarter1964 difference being Africa is rising and the USA is falling.

Thanks, Nick. I am glad I live in Sacramento, CA.

Just look up the number of Pharmaceutical companies that are present in Ukraine. That's why they're getting so much funding!

I came to this country in 1978 as a student, my first impression of U.S was everything is so bright and colorful ( I was in Kanas city bus station, go figure ), Have no idea what happened in 45 years, but I still love America !

This is the result of 45 years of Ronald Reagan's trickle down economic policies. Convince people it is good for them to give huge corporations tax breaks. Those corps do stock buybacks and enrich themselves and their stockholders. They overturned the laws that required companies to reinvest in communities. This didn't just "happen". It was perpetrated upon the American people by selfish politicians and folks convinced to vote against their own interest. I'm 60 y/o, I live in Chicago and I've seen it all.

Don't be so naive. What does pumping $ into bringing up these communities reward the politicians? 40 years later the community might bear fruit, but they'd be long out if office with zero income from corporate donations.

PUBLIC APATHY. The situation in US is horrific. Theres folks going around pointing cameras at semi derelict cities and towns all over the place. Theres people living there in total poverty. One of them inhabited by females on their own. Whole streets with empty shops, gas stations and diners and wharehouses all starting to collapse. How come that nation paid people to walk about on a moon. Why are they staring into space trying to find 'life' when they cant even manage what they have. Do you think any distant civilisation would tolerate the people here// Why are you assuming they would be like you. Foir instabncxer whats all this about Police killing a 1000 people a yr. They dont seem to do that to the corrupt. In UK we are experiencing Police attacks too who are sent on behalf of religion. They told us that the evidence we gathered during 12 yrs traipse round vCent London accompanied by victims cannot be revealed to public. They also told us that theres no such thing as 'Natural Talent'. theres only what your teacher teaches. That attitude killed millions US Nativ Americans and Germany did same to tribes in Africa. This is the 3rd attaxck we have experienced after doing state of the art work on so called incurable clients sent to us by Health system. They had recd anything up to 22 yrs 'treatment' They needed six hours. One of them would have died that nite had we not broken in to get to her. We wewre then told to stop the work which was threatening establ jobs so around 12-15 000 died and the issues covered up by Local Govt. Police. HM Coroners. HM Courts. HM Psychiatry Charities. Press. 17 universities who are in league with Int drug firms. f-book and Twitter destroyed all our mails and all websites also disappeared. We have no access to Parliament or Law or Health or Welfare. We are woriied anbout dying cos this place coulds be ransacked by Police and the public would do nothing. We are a Jewish Family who came to UK to escape the very activities going on in UK. We came here with two suitcases and 80 yrs old granma. we were washing up dishes in hotel and taking scraps food home. no one offered any help. We left behind jobs in the Law System. Now lets think about this site. People are goin around filming other peoples misery so what the persons criteria. Why dont they go raise hell at the areas + Go see Political representative for those areas. Why dont they stop and knock at all the doors to see if the folks need food por help with property maintenance. Why are people sitting watching all this and doing nothing. Is it becauase the victims aree not 'relatives' If so you need waking up. No change in 10.000 yrs. Stop the deception. 5000 comments have not changed anything.The UK and Europe are also horrific. The EEC has told us that nothing can be done about corruption or the attacks on us made by Police and violent threats by US Embassy. Maybe we should try to get out of here urgent before we end up dead. The natives that the US killed knew how to survive. You dont. You killed most them wheres the guilt we dont see any.

It's in the 80's

started in the cities in the early 70's by manufacturers importing alot of foreign made machinery that replaced American workers.@@erenyeagerist7681

Yep you are right. It’s destroying the middle class and America. I don’t worry for me because I am 72 and won’t be around much longer . My days are numbered but I worry for my grandchildren. Truly terrifying. And I live with my son and grandchildren because I can’t afford to live in an apartment.thank god for my son. I am truly blessed to have my children and my grands.

yes it started with Clintons nafta. which was the intentional destruction of the American economy in favor of a global economy favoring china for their cheap labour and outrageous profits for American investors and banks. no longer could you have a simple savings account to save for retirement but now forced to gamble in the markets with mostly disasterious results.

Multifaceted problem but the summary is unchecked capitalism. No public transportation in most places or poor ineffective public transportation limits the poor's ability to get good jobs. No affordable housing which again is caused by unchecked capitalism. Wages not keeping up with inflation, outsourcing of good jobs which again is caused by profit over people mindset. Rich and corporations escaping taxes. Poor education. Many factors with one main cause.

"if you get sick or ANYTHING happens, the crunch comes hard and fast...you're one vehicle repair away from being homeless at any time." Most people today and it's not going to get better. We keep giving low paying jobs away like we are it's going to come faster.

That professor is a moron.

Hello how are you doing hope you're fine and staying safe 🥰🥰🥰🥰

They are all Democrat ran cities ironically...

Go back and tell people that most of the manufacturing companies are about to leave and go over seas. The heads of the industries were making enough money, I guess they wanted more... Greed 💲💲💲😠 Someone should have told them you can't take it with you.

The upside to places like these is the populations in these areas have declined..

@@briansmith48 Americans don't rule America, there is an alien entity amongst Americans, running America from over seas.

@@blast4me754 that was the plan all along, one of them at least. An agenda that is.
