when would we have enough of this
nonsense and address the real issues i
really don't know when is it enough for
you i'm a person that i don't really
watch the news unless there is a big
problem
welcome to my channel my name is
antoinette and today is another
beautiful day here in valencia and this
is going to be a little bit of a
different video uh from what i normally
do but it just started to
weigh on me this whole situation
happening in the states and everywhere
in the world
this is something that we haven't seen
before on your screen are pictures from
brooklyn new york these are people
waiting in line at a food bank the queue
stretches for blocks it's what we used
to call a breadline prices especially in
california reached over eight dollars
per gallon
and that's very stressful most of these
people are not homeless or not addicted
to drugs some of them have jobs they
just can't afford enough food i'm
talking to my friends and some family in
la and everybody is being shocked and
upset about it and it just changes the
whole dynamic of the financial situation
of a household and because this affects
everything it affects everything from
being able to transport yourself to the
place of work or
anywhere to
affecting your prices your food prices
infl inflation reached
7.8
i believe and it's the highest in 40
years
and right now covert inflation the
government printing and doling out more
money to prevent a pandemic collapse
which is horrible
in spain there's also inflation the
prices are going up but things are
definitely not as
critical as in the states europe will be
affected by
the sanctions but spain is getting a
very small percentage of the russian
gas spain is getting
60
of its supply from algeria
and so that's one thing that i i found
pretty fascinating that spain can become
the next supplier for the whole european
union
what they're missing is a way of
transporting that and there was a moment
where they could have created this uh
line between spain and france uh
and then
everywhere but
in 2019 but something happened and that
didn't go true they rejected that
proposal
but spain is in a pretty good position
and it can probably go out of this
mess um
better than any other country here
portugal also has an advantage it's very
shocking how people are still not
reacting to the real problem in united
states
oh prices has gone way out of control so
you eat one meal a day on your night
shift at the restaurant and that's it
yeah we're cheering for for things that
are really out of our control and when
things are affecting our pocket our
economy people are just like being upset
and not doing anything about it i think
this is a pretty big issue if your
prices are going up
to go and protest for something like
that
then support other things that are
really out of your control so when i was
living in l.a i did not have any choice
but drive my car
to
my studio in downtown to anywhere i want
to go there's pretty much you have no
choice you have to be in your car to get
places everything is just so spread out
so big the transportation it's not like
in in europe now
with these gas prices people really are
looking for alternatives but i really
have i don't think you have much of a
choice there you know picking let's say
transportation then other transportation
than than driving your car and here in
spain i'm so lucky that we're here
[Music]
and you can you know ride your bike they
have amazing bike lanes you can walk
everywhere
you can take your
metro there's this amazing train system
that can take you into other cities
and just the options are so much more
and i think when you
when you have this freedom of
maneuvering from place to place it's
it's a power it's something that can
that can free you
right now especially after the pandemic
when we had to be home we have to stay
home
now that's another way of like keeping
you trapped
and
because you can feel your gas tank you
can go anywhere so that's the situation
in california because california has the
highest gas prices from anywhere in the
united states
over eight dollar a gallon
it's shocking
and pretty sad
when would we have enough of this
nonsense and address the real issues i
really don't know when is it enough for
you i think that i'm a person that i
don't really watch the news closely
unless there is a big
problem but right now i kept hearing
from from friends and family that live
in the state the problem with the gas is
something that affects deeply
everybody's budget
[Music]
and
just imposing sanctions
at the artery
of the enemy
it's not going to solve these problems
and until we're we are entertained with
this
with this bs
the the real deal the real business is
happening behind the scenes and
i just think we need to focus on on the
real problem
some millennials have resorted to even
more desperate measures last month i was
kind of in dire straits i had to donate
plasma twice a week to afford rent how
much do they pay for plasma for
newcomers you get a bonus anywhere
between 100 to 150 per donation
but after the first month it will drop
to 50 to 60 per donation
[Music]
i also find it pretty ridiculous that
the us is imposing sanctions on russia
and at the same time it's going and
asking
other countries that we
bashed before that we disagreed with
their political and economic actions
to
to get oil for us when we're sitting on
some of the highest resources in the
states i mean texas alaska you know so
america has also been reaching out to
countries that it's not exactly on great
terms with
you know like venezuela and saudi arabia
to try and get them to pump more oil to
get the prices back down
which you have to admit is a bit of an
awkward situation to be in so it's
pretty ridiculous we have some clowns
up there
yeah
so um
focus on the real problems if you want
to make a society volatile not just
angry and divided which is where we are
now but revolutionary and explosive then
you threaten the food supply
more governments have fallen to rising
food prices than to any other cause by
far
the economic changes we've seen in the
past year are so harmful and yet there
seems to be a confusion about where we
focus our energy
not only prices have gone up but more
and more people have drastically fallen
under the poverty line so let's look
into the actual issues and see if we can
make better choices about our future to
learn about the real reasons why spain
is richer than america watch this video
