How online shopping is polluting California’s Inland Empire 

we need 2,000 more warehouses in Fontana. These jobs are good and help the economy.

@@RollerBladingSuxs lololololols! What economy? Fontana now cracking down on street vendors just to try to make some money to stay afloat. More warehouses are not going to do anything for Fontana's economy. The only thing that's happening is creating more traffic and more trucks that don't have anywhere to park without getting a ticket. These so called warehouses kicks them out because they're full and there aren't enough truck stops.

@@bajaboy27 We need 1 million more warehouses to make Fontana the richest city in California. The air quality will be so fresh, we'll live longer too

And Cali's turning to Mexico so..

@@randyjenkins8743 mexico actually has industry

Fontana is turning into beverly hills. We need more and more warehouses each month to get there.

Trap jobs, good in the beginning but horrible to stay a long time.

My friend works in one of these warehouses in Fontana. I was absolutely shocked by how little he was getting paid for just last year. He is an account manager and was only getting paid $17/hr with no benefits or paid time off. I was utterly in shock that a manager could be paid so little! But its because these warehouse jobs just don't pay well and feel to stagnant overall.

My goodness aint that the truth. & it's back breaking work since most warehouses labor track you. So yes an abundance of warehouse jobs but difficult to move up. A warehouse facilities manager requires 5-7 years supervisor experience. Supervisor requires 2-3 years Lead experience. & Lead experience requires kissing butt.😂😢😂😢😂😢

​@@Moondoggy1941 your body will hate you for it.

I work at Amazon in Eastvale. It barley pays my bills. I honestly rather see the vast land the IE had once then work for a slave company ruining farmland

Only for items sold to/shipped to customers within the tax jurisdiction. The problem is these warehouses are national or least large regional hubs so no sales tax benefit for a large? portion of sales shipped elsewhere, yet the residents take on the brunt of the pollution hazards.

@@nomisgnoh what pollution?

Our consumer culture is vitalized and dominant and nothing will change, not even at the stake of the health of the consumers themselves

You can always get RU-vid premium and avoid these commercials you talk about. Cheers 🍻

They will do anything for a buck, Coachella Valley does not want them and they tax them extra if they build there.

The kids need more shade from the warehouses.

It creates more income for the environment. We need more warehouses like a million more.

Do you order from Amazon? I'll wait....

@@ameliaah I don't.

Well yes. Amazon packages shipped to residences create waste by the boxes they are shipped in however, items in retailers are also packaged and transported via ground transport and freight which also creates waste and pollution. Amazon however offers lower prices on many items stocked at retailers and provide the opportunity to purchase items that are not easily accessible to people in certain areas added to the fact that driving to retailers takes time and gas spent to get there. With the current rate of inflation, consumers gravitate towards competitive prices and convenience to obtain products. Amazon also provides the convenience of making returns easier to manage as well. Amazon’s selling point is convenience and competitive prices. I am also not defending Amazon as I am not in full support of Amazon’s business practices either. There’s also the due diligence of residents using the proper disposal methods by waste management companies like Burrtec. Recyclable items like paper and plastic are usually disposed in the blue recycle bins. If people aren’t using the proper disposal methods than this also contributes to the pollution/waste argument. Also if waste management companies aren’t doing their due diligence to properly dispose items than that’s another conversation to have. It’s easy to point the finger at 1 individual/entity but the responsibility lies on everyone. Regardless, the video is meant to show the pollution levels of these warehouses and the potential effects it has on its local residence.

As long as my package gets to me quicker. Im all for more warehouses being built only in Fontana.

The power grid needs to be improved before we start increasing our dependence on EV's. Last time I checked solar and wind only accounted for around 10% of US electricity. If we continue shutting down Coal and Nuclear Power Plants without replacing them with an alternative energy source then generating capacity will be lost during a time when demand will heavily increase causing electricity prices to rise and possibly shortages.

What happens to all the batteries after they die? How will that affect the environment as well?

And what's next? Self driving trucks? As a truck driver who lived in a house where now a warehouse sits in Fontana, I wouldn't want to see that happening.

And they're worse for the environment!

Either way the customers need to get their packages quicker. So there needs to be more warehouses in Fontana, no warehouses built in other cities.

Wah wah

@@randyjenkins8743 You would think a person with any possible intelligence would have more to say than just make a dumb comment. But it's okay that's just how people are brought up nowadays.

I need more of these warehouses in Fontana so i can get my packages quicker.

@@RollerBladingSuxs more warehouses in Fontana won't get your packages quicker. Even if they have them in stock you'll still get it in two days.

The Inland Empire is the armpit of America. It's nothing but dirt fields filled with trash, an abundance of warehouses, tract homes with no greenspace, liquor stores riddled with graffiti, and swapmeets filled with stolen goods. There is no sense of community, no master planning, no preserved green spaces, no clean air, no clean water, the roads are beat, and people walk around out there in flip flops and pajamas all through the day. The Inland Empire is an industrious wasteland with 0 quality of life.

I remember those days and the KKK meetings in Veterans Park.

Not only that, the city planners said, the area does not need a mall or shopping center, they called the area unattractive for developers, they want to build warehouses, because a warehouse pays a lot of money in taxes to the city.

Same thing in Ontario CA. Little area known as Ontario Ranch once a small vast area of farmland now infested with warehouses. Sad because I remember being a child driving thru there smelling the scent of cows and fresh air, It felt so far but yet its only 15 mins from Pomona my home town. Now its infested with warehouses and new highly expensive gated communities

Don't worry. More warehouses will be built. It's a good thing.

Im from Pomona and when they announced the closure of the Tiki Swapmeet that blew my heart out my chest. I remember telling my wife "they're either gonna build a bs warehouse or some expensive gated homes" which literally nobody in the area can afford. Ontario Ranch is rapidly becoming a concrete land. Its killing the culture & forcing low income families to move. Id seriously fund something to bring more light to this because what was once my childhood is slowly dying.

They could take every truck off the road I don't know what the difference they think it's going to make these environmental dummies

jobs help support families.

@@RollerBladingSuxs yes jobs do support people but not every job is worth doing even if it risks support

@@ulissesmendoza8752 I would work that job for free.

@@RollerBladingSuxs yeah ok please record a full day of you going to an Amazon fulfillment center for free and post it to your RU-vid. We’re all waiting otherwise cope and seethe.

Yeah lotta gangbangers prison types

Then you're not a hustler then. There are many people that are able to make it with one income.

who's gonna account for the excessive coal burning when the trucks are charging? what about environmental impacts from lithium extraction to create these batteries. And, when the truck batteries are done - how does the state/manufacturer handle disposing of the battery components safely?

Hydrogen is more appropriate for heavy transportation and that could decrease the pollution in the area.

We don't like. Electric trucks don't do anything to alleviate traffic, more warehouses without improving the infrastructure around these cities has proven problematic. Also the government can't mandate all trucks be electric, are you out of your flipping mind? Trucks are expensive, you buy a new car for $40-50k? Now imagine a new electric truck, it would easily be costing $150K not every truck driver delivering to these warehouses has that kind of money since they're getting paid next to peanuts, are you willing to help them pay for these trucks? Many have they're trucks already paid for, why in the world would they want to get back into a debt like that just because it makes you feel good to think you're doing something good about the environment? Do you know where a lot of the electricity we use comes from? From burning coal or nuclear power both which can be not environment friendly.

@@Alejandro-vn2si it's trucks not rockets.

@@bajaboy27 well, anything that does nor create carbon dioxide. Of its ammonia, go head. If is hydrogen, go head. If is electricity, go head. Anything that does not produce CO2.

if america doesn't start manufacturing people making 100 thousand a year will be poor

NO, we need more added pollution to Fontana.

Missing the point…

Sounds fancy I'll have to add it to my bag of tricks

Wouldn't matter cause people commuting pollutes the most

exactly look at San Bernardino that place looks like Detroit

They are greatest economical boom for the city. We should be happy.

@@RollerBladingSuxs economic boom at the price of the lower income classes living situation. In fontana at least

@@Jeffrey421942 More warehouses equal more income for families. Thoses classes will move into the upper middle class income with these warehouses.

​@@RollerBladingSuxs No, it won't. I have a friend whose been working in a warehouse for around 9 years now. Still has the same apartment he's had ever since. I know others who worked at a warehouse for over a year and decided to go to school again to find a better job, another who lives with their parents and works a warehouse job. The money isn't enough to move you to upper middle class.

also for these jobs, you sacrifice air quality for the people living here. And I've heard countless stories of trucks running lights in south fontana by classmates that live there. It does bring the city a lot of money. But as you can see, they spend the money on dumb things like performances to promote things such as warehouses and gas companies. I live here. south fontana gets no upkeep. All the money goes to north fontana where people are more well off in fontana in general. Its cruel that half of fontana gets almost nothing for it but are the ones living next to them

15 minimum wage work! Yes cheap labor

Same Demoncrats who have been running businesses and families out of California for decades. Texas is getting ready for another transplant wave from California. I wanted too move back home to Rialto, Ca, but all my friends tell me stay in Texas there is nothing here.

Aqcuanetta Warren is a Republican...

Notice Amazon and UPS build warehouses in Cali and not in weak failing Red states 🤣🤣🤣

As if Republicans will say NO to these donations. They're all in bed with each other, it's about who can play better the game of illusion with the people. Take that from a registered republican.

@@bajaboy27 What Republicans? The California Legislature is 75% Democrat. Republicans can't pass laws in California. Maybe some 22% inflation might do the trick for Californians.

Theres multiple articles talking about turnover. In 2017 Amazon's turnover rate was literally over 100%.

@@randommodnar7141 Amazon is one company. There are thousands of warehouses in the area.

@@senhuachang its a wider trend within the warehouse industry.

These jobs do not put anyone in the middle class, I dont know what you are smoking, maybe management jobs in warehousing, hr people, or accounting, working in warehousing is more often then not a deadend job for people who dont know or dont think they can do better, the amount of land wasted on warehousing is stupid aswell. Until recently I feel that most warehousing jobs were only paying around 14, and with inflation of thing going up 6% this year alone, how much better is that really? Either way you seem out of touch if you really think these jobs break you out of lower income.

@@modalsoul4748 He’s clear a shill for the warehouse industry and their overlords. You are 100% spot on.

That's why Fontana is in the condition it is.

Nice Commerical plug here. Let me know if any businesses need a business printer/copier/scanner.

Dildos, you need to invest in that.
