Can I just say it's genuinely nice to be able to watch an entertaining video like this, but also gain some actually useful current events knowledge that I can use to converse with people in real life. Loving the content, keep it up.
SAME!! I never thought I would enjoy marketing content, its not typically something I'm interested in. But Big A makes it super entertaining and easy to understand
So proud to be funding the department who’s info created that graph about amazon employees’ injuries through taxes. Unironically proud to be a Washingtonian every day bc of some new story with data from Washington state.
blew out my knee while i was working at amazon. after having to walk to the medical area by myself because my manager was mia (which was about the length of a football field and a half), they put an ice pack on it for about twenty minutes and put me back to work. they did not let me go home, they did not let me sit down. i quit that weekend
Sounds like Amazon. Full automation can't come soon enough. The only things you hear from those warehouse places is misery and injury. Even the software engineers report massive stress and misery due to the cutthroat culture at Amazon.
FedEx is terrible too. I just quit there. We had two employees who injured their rotator cuffs due to falling packages from chutes. They never got any compensation, one of them even had to keep doing the same job for months. Warehouses don’t give a hoot. My op manager was more concerned about boxes than people falling from the high tower in one of our employee safety meetings. A hellhole to be sure.
My dad actually has a small buisness (2 employees and himself) and the ppp loans definitley helped him stay afloat...too bad that it's being misued by massive companies who don't need it/ will use it incorrectly.
Now imagine none of the big companies got a cent... the funds could still exist to continue to help the small businesses who are still trying to get back to normal... and more of them. Shameful that they were allowed to get away with it... but MORE SHAMEFUL that no investigation has been opened into it with money being taken back or issued as fines due to fraud.
At first I was laughing at Uncle O’Grimacey because it felt tastelessly stereotyping of the Irish, but then I was DYING when I found out that it turns out he publically supported the IRA and he’s a true irishman after all
i don't understand why it's so hard for them to understand that to help working americans they should just give money to fucking working americans. this trickle down shit is a lie. it's almost as if the government has been, how you say, captured by the wealthy elite

I can speak on the Amazon thing, i've been working there for 4 years (in a fulfillment center), I've had ligament issues in my legs, i suffered a concussion, i've smashed my hands a few times so badly i couldn't use my fingers properly for a few days/weeks, i'm 28 years old btw and i feel like this job has aged me by 10 however there's a lot of people who actually do fake injuries at my place of work alone.
Why the fuck would you keep working somewhere like that? I just don't comprehend this. Is it just this shit in America trying to get a better job? I wasn't even university educated and had a decent job at a PR firm by 20.
found the channel last week, been steadily making my way through all your vids (mostly marketing monday) and can easily say this is some of my favorite content on the platform. everything’s engaging, surprisingly informative, easy to follow along, and just straight up funny. you really made my week so thanks man :)
Funniest/saddest part about the north korean ad is that I don’t think the majority of north koreans can afford a TV- Actually, turns out the propaganda department works hard in north korea, so somewhere around 98% of north koreans have a TV. Only 26% have electricity. So most of those TVs are not turned on.
We don't really know what propaganda within North Korea actually looks like. That's because most things in the news that is claimed to be North Korean propaganda is actually made up by western media. Radio Free Asia is the primary source that these kinds of stories cite, and it's a news outlet literally created by the CIA with the express purpose of creating propaganda in Asia.
About the amazon employee injury numbers, I've worked in a number of warehouses, and in my experience most businesses try to coax you not to report when injured, or will fight it tooth and nail if you try to.. People at amazon are probably more likely to report for policy reasons, saving face, and because they have the money anyways. Not to say things can't be crappy at Amazon, just my two cents. I have had this conversation with many fellow warehouse/driver coworkers from multiple companies. People give amazon a lot of shit for their warehouse situations, but as someone that's done work in multiple warehouses and had driving jobs that took me to many different warehouses for various reasons, most of the stuff that Amazon gets pooped on for is generally worse in other companies, they just aren't in the spotlight and people don't care because it's not as fun to poop on no name businesses compared to Amazon. Especially pay scale. Amazon pays more than practically every other warehouse I've seen.
Roasting Amazon for simply putting the gizzard’s prime value first, that their workers never stop that sigma grindset, no matter how many knees are worn out.
I just want to clarify that the PPP loans that Big A continually dogs on did also help save many thousands of small companies that genuinely did need it. That loan single handedly helped my family's travel agency avoid bankruptcy. Now we've already doubled our 2019 sales and it's only April. The PPP loans were not purely detrimental.
Right. He isn’t invalidating what it was meant to do (help people like your family), he is criticizing how the lack of scrutiny into how these loans were given out effected the widespread economy. What he tries to push here is that it’s a shame that big corporations were given a piece of this pie because they pocketed the money for themselves instead of using it for it’s intended purpose.
I'm confused why chat seems to think it's capitalism's fault that the federal government botched a bailout loan program. That's the polar opposite of capitalism lmao
Big A please do Finance Fridays or something. You explained the Cantillion effect better than most of the bankers I know, and as an economist I love that you could communicate that concept in a way that chat could understand. Love the content dude, keep it up!
My favorite part of the pandemic is how employers realized some work can be done at home. I practice architecture and it’s been super nice not having to be in the studio at 8 everyday
Now that we are "back to normal" I have heard that employers are trying to claw back those accommodations. Much to the chagrin of the disabled who have been asking for said accommodations even pre-pandemic.
@@jamesphillips2285 it doesnt even make sense in some cases, it saves them money in office space having employees working at home as opposed to tapped in an office
0:51 so Westbrook wasn't on any of them either, nor Melo? Seems more like a business decision than a contractual obligation. Lebron is their cash cow and overwhelmingly their best player. If anything he's underrepresented in the winning graphics, with Westbrook getting almost the same number of appearances despite being vastly inferior this season.
The FAA oversees aviation. The head of the FAA worked for Boeing and when his time at the FAA is up, he will return to Boeing, as has happened across multiple industries multiple times throughout the history of government regulation. “Oversight” just creates another pocket to be lined with tax dollars. Government cannot solve every problem or ameliorate every bad situation.
Paying money to the people got spent for the most part going to businesses. Sending it to people rather then businesses is flat out better. Because alright businesses will get the money either way.
3:35 Omfg : 1k injuries per 10 000 employees ? *A 10% rate ?????!!!!!* Dude, literally comparable to a Labour Camp, or some Industrial Revolution-era British factories or 3rd-World levels of working standards... What in the absolute FUCK...
If you checked Spanish economy you would laugh at us The Gas prices are so high that the transportist aren't able to pay it so industry doesn't get any materials to make things neither they can sell it so they stop production and some have to fire people, then government said "You can't fire people" They had a meeting and decided that to fix this instead of lowering at least a bit the taxes the would make the gas station owners give people a 20 cents discount for 1l so now the people on the gas stations can't pay this so lots of them are going to close and our president was traveling around Europe while this happened :(
I dont work at CD, crunch away. I havent played any of their games either, so just dont even develop them and just pay them for not working, works for me
I never even got the stimulus check, almost two years later and I found out you can file for an amended tax return and then get the checks. Inflation has a supreme hold now, I never even thought of the fact that the people close to the new money always benefit first. But it’s so true.
i kind of blocked out the fact north Korea is a country purely on the fact kim jong un is their president i did enough research to know we should just leave that man alone lmfao!!!!
Honestly, when I worked at Amazon, it wasn’t that bad and I was doing probably the hardest job there. Maybe it’s cuz it was the Airport Amazon Warehouse and not the normal ones, but I got more money than anywhere else with bonuses and pay boosts, and there were none of these horror stories I keep seeing. I was exhausted af after my 10 hour shifts but having a 3 day weekend was tight as fuck
I'm a huge fan of politics that are based for the specific audience that is intended. And the fact that you told us about the Applebee's one really opens my eyes. Thank you Big A for sharing it with us
