What's Really Like America's Poorest Surviving Living In the Desert 

You're doing God's work by showing all of us how blessed we are. And how things can get. As others have said, one bad mistake...

YES YES

​@@JustM2024 He definitely does. I've been down with The Tribe for about 7 years, Supe helped me with my decision to move to The Valley.

Doing merh..

meth bro meth

All of these people have one thing in common, lying.

Exxxxxxxxxxxxxxactly po' me not my fault play the drums collect and dwell no work is no life

Drugs

Spot on with that comment.👏

don't do welfare ... it should be obvious they're all paid by the government to maintain their bad habits ... think about that

Not sure that is even true anymore. Kids today have more access to see what drugs do then ever before and yet they still don't care and want to see what all the fuss is about. That's the problem with some people, they are so F'n stubborn and thickheaded that they always have to attend the school of hard knocks and learn everything by doing. They are the type of person who refuses to take advice and will do the complete opposite just to try and piss you off and show they know better. "Don't take drugs" is a challenge to them. Oh yeah, just watch how I can do 100 pounds of meth and then stop. Don't tell me what to do or how to live, I'm 18 and know more then everyone else who has ever lived since the dawn of man.

Dont drink either (even though it is technically a drug).

.... Thats not the reality of drug use. I am gonna walk you through this nice and slow so you catch on Rich, white, and living on Daddy's money; you just thought of someone who lives on cocain and weed didnt you? Because that ia the reality of recreational drug use. So why would poor folk spend what coukd eaisly be half thier food budget on drugs? The answer is distrubing. Because Meth, cocaine, and pain pills all let a person go to work even when they are sick, worn out, or underfed. And Dr's cost a lot more to the poor then any of the above mentioned drugs. So the question isnt what drug will do to you, everyone knows. The question is: The devils at your door, you can play the addiction game and maybe win, but if you do not, you stay home sick he is there to kick you out, starve you, and force you to watch your very own children starve to death or die of heat exposure. So what do you say? Gonna flip that coin for life, or take a slow painful death?

With $600 for the electric bill, he should just buy some solar panels and some batteries and replace uneficcient electric devices with ernergy efficient ones. Then expand this setup the next months until he doesnt need an electric bill at all.

This is how they treat their dad. By making him carry all of them on his back

I know plenty of veterans and they are doing very well. After they turn 65 they get Social Security in addition to military pension, plus free medical for life. Home owners, nice trucks, Harleys....The "homeless vets" are homeless for the same reason anyone else is - addiction, convicted felons and general pains in the ass that their families want nothing to do with them. Some veterans take their pensions, free college, no down payment home loans and build a good life. Some become criminals and low lifes.

There's always MORE 😢

A lot more​@@aliciamartinez853

More bullshit based on 'feelings'

Punching a car with another car ?

Yep, my thoughts exactly. She’s on meth with six kids non of which are with her SMH

Its hot as hell out there. Bet the pups feet are on fire. Plus during the few months of winter I bet it gets really cold out there. The desert seems to have both extreme cold and extreme hot.

lol! Exactly my thoughts!

They seem like very capable people. If her kids are doing well, leave them where they are. No need to drag them into this life.

Be a man get 2 jobs move out of the desert slum and stop fuggin around.

You don't know how they found that dog. Those communities don't have the infrastructure to spay and neuter unless someone sponsors a dog. Maybe they found him in the desert. He's not in the best place, but it looks like they love that pup. I hope they take him east or to the south. I would get out of AZ and take him with them. And even people down on their luck love animals. It's the hard people that would do anything for a meal that you should watch out for... looks like the people they try to associate with wouldn't hurt him but help him. I think, despite where they came from, these people will do better when they get the hell out of there.

Her boyfriend was not even ashamed that he watched an older man working. Now that was disgusting.

@@thebastardgift Roaches thats what the both of them are.

WHat is about people? A man can be physically fit, and still need HELP.

People can be physically capable and still need help.

6 kids and she could care less never said she misses them, plus she's on meth they are user's and liar's every meth head is,, also you don't go to prison for punching a car red flags everywhere. That's why she is so skinny also she's on the stemfast diet. There using the father for there addiction poor guy.trash people.

And dad is supposedly a mechanic. They both have a little substance problem.

Lol anddd his dad is healthy enough to dig out that hole in 100* weather lol

Hey some folks gotta take care of those that did right for us.

​@@dmo848their not doing right for the dad!

@@dmo848 They're living off of the dad.

You know she's still phfruqk'n, I suspect it's not as tight though... poor girl 😕

her story was all over the place

The rich get richer and the poor get pregnant

​@@richardschneider4775-Good one!

In America there would be PSAs warning people of child bearing age not to have any number of kids they can’t afford to care for. But in Dumbmerica that never happened and probably never will.

When you have been knocked to the ground, you take as much time as it takes to get back up. You DON"T try an run a marathon, just to please idiots on the internet.

100% drugs and excuses are everywhere. Seriously. It's literally a pandemic. Poor me poor me. I used to drink, drug and smoke cigarettes. By the grace of my God whom I call Jesus Christ, I burned my life down, and Ive been clean and sober/cigarette free and have received lots and lots of material, spiritual and many many other blessings. One day at a time.

Thank you for your service n sacrifice sir God bless you n your family

Yeah, but everybody’s built differently, bro but more power to you

@@darylhill9400And that’s the part they never think about.

Word

Stressed the hell out? Probably your attitude. Class distinctions. Your judgement on others. Release it, and store up mercy/blessings for yourself. You'll feel better, less stressed.

It keeps women in poverty having children they can’t provide for but nobody says anything they are supposed to be victims of something according to society and the government that keep giving tax payers dollars towards welfare section 8 link to women that keep making babies with broke men the government stops giving them that money then they will stop making babies get married or date productive men some women actually just get pregnant dump the man trying to help be a father to get on welfare because they know the government will give that welfare it’s messed up

@@williamrobinson6680just mad because he told the truth the truth stressing you out evidently 🤣

And only do meth once a day

@@tiffanycurtis4794 You're just mad because I told the truth. My truth stressing you out! ITS CONTAGIOUS!! 😂

Casa grande is Beverly Hills vs Hila Bend

6 kids at $1000 per child from welfare isn't a bad living......

Exactly 💯

Ita a shame. They really need to help pops out like asap and stop freeloading off that elderly man!! 🤨😡

Been there not as bad as these people have it hope never will but had my struggles.

THIS

They don't need luck they need discipline and sobriety. The 2nd people (the guy and the girl) are two young able-bodied healthy free people living in the USA. Especially the guy. People around the world cross oceans, spend their life savings literally risking their lives to come to the USA to be in the position these 2 are in. Yet they lay around in a trailer doing meth all day. If they got more "luck" they would just use it on meth unfortunately. I say healthy, because there are a lot of unhealthy people who physically couldn't survive in a trailer in those conditions, in that heat, without access to medicine or pills or healthy food. These people are healthy and able bodied enough that they can survive in those hard conditions. But they are on drugs so they're lost.

@@asherray4969 You're acting like it's a logical arrangement. It's not.

I've walked in those shoes They choose to stay in their situation that their choices put them in

Apparently he was taking a nap.

Right! Literally the whole channel

Also, a great portion of the population in the US makes less than 50k a year. Content or not, a great portion of the population will always be poor with or without an addiction.

@@SolorockinOneIf both of them made $35-$40K year each then they’d be doing just fine! Especially in places with cheaper housing. No excuses

@@JCizzleSoCal No, you're oversimplifying life. Just be grateful that you and I don't have hyper addictive personalities and drug problems. It could happen to anyone. There's circumstance and there's science involved. Nature and nurture. It's just a sad, ugly truth. Quit judging.

@@JCizzleSoCal doesn't look like the town has many jobs that will pay over $15/hr for menial work. The woman has 6 children (probably all from different fathers). What is that guy doing getting involve with a woman with 6 kids?

Very well said Shannon.

I believe this is a side of society no one likes to admit or see. Good on him for exposing it and making the greater Phoenix valley aware of it.

Like Phoenix is any better 😅

I was wondering about their criminal history. There's a lot I'm sure they didn't tell the interviewer. In fact, the thefts they experienced could have been revenge thefts on them.

interviewing tweekers = guaranteed bullshit........i'm poor and lived low rent my whole life , but have no patience with this

The dude needs to get his ass up and find a job. No excuses young buck!!!

They are grown up lmao in their mid 30s lmao 🤣

If these people had something to hide, they would have told the cameraman to fcuk off.

Right!! She’s talking about her struggle and not even caring about her kids. They aren’t coming out of it, she cleans so well because she’s tweaked out!! 😅

And drugs!

Idk why this made me laugh so hard lol but facts

fax

And meth

ANd yet, you have never bothered to find out why... wow.

I agree !

You give them $20 and I guaranty it ain't going to the dog. Unless that's what they call their meth dealer.

@@rogermccaslin5963 give them $20 to BUY the dog.

I feel more and sorry for the dog than them. If I lived nearby I would take that dog and bring him home to a cool comfortable place. Hopefully SPCA will come....he looks like he's neglected walking on that hot pavement.

@@deidrediane9594 the dog didn't get himself into this hot mess. I don't feel bad for the people but the dog is just sad.

not likely

Spot on, Becky.

She's high as a kite , too. Talking nonsense at 90 mph , she's moving around another. Shady af

@@stevenhickey326 She's talking for both of them. He's Mr. Excuse-for-everything. What a pair!

@@kendallevans4079 Yeah , dude sure is quiet

@@stevenhickey326 Definitely a few skeletons in the closet

what's she gonna set on fire, the dust?

@@kimmancha4314AZ is a dry climate . Yes the dust will set on fire and set everything else on fire . Lmfao

I thought the same thing

Fire hazard is the least of their worries. A good fire would force them to look for another abode.

@@six1nina560 Burning dust? Is that a new military weapon? Wonder if it's being used in Ukraine?

Have you ever tried to get work after being in prison?

Yea she using very obvious

@@nightowl6811You can see her ribs!

omg did you see her teeth? She must have been doing meth for years

That’s not true at all. Only way someone can collect social security that never worked is if they were married to someone who is eligible for social security. They would be eligible for 50 % of their spouses benefits.

Yeah that really stood out to me too.... How the fuck can you let an old man dig a hole for two weeks in that weather alone? Especially when he's completely supporting you. These two don't seem like the worst people in the world, but the letting his dad dig that hole alone for two weeks really stood out and annoyed the shit out of me. Also 6 kids is pretty ridiculous when you can't even take care of yourself. I guess plan b and condoms must be too expensive for her. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Right??? OMG so obtuse 😮

Yep!! Taking care of dad, car broke down, no phones, got robbed lol they shouldn’t be allowed to have a dog

They should quit smoking, though I doubt they will. That plus the hazardous environmental conditions, low nutrition food and little or no medical/dental care will age them fast.

@@greg1030they should quit using drugs. That’s what they should do.

she said they have AC though

The young mother and her boyfriend said they were running their air conditioner. It's plugged in from next door.

When you’re in your addiction, those things aren’t as important, trust me, I was there once.

Exactly! I still work 2 jobs! It's really hard in today's economy for sure!!!! I'm just glad when I sold my lot by the lake that I bought a small house with a little land so at least I don't have a mortgage or rent..... it's not much but I love that it's mine!

That part. I didn't choose to be disabled and be on a fixed income. My husband works part time so my SSI isn't affected, cause if he works full time, then my SSI drops, but if he works part time, we get more. Damned if we do, damned if we dont! The system needs a long overhaul. He wants to work full time without my SSI dropping!!

Did you get child support? Section 8? WIC? EBT?

We have $100 billion plus another $100 billion given to Ukraine and Israel! But no money for our homeless and vets! Sick of this.

Yep, it's like a ghoat town in there. The end of Gila bend at Casa Grande is growing though.

Hey Cathy! Thanks for bday wishes!

@@OfficialBigSuper You’re welcome! Tell Cookie and the kids hello.💕

She needs to get off meth. Saying she’s clean but then, oh yeah I do meth once a day. 🙄

Pushing out 6 babies you can’t care for is solid? 🤔 I wish her kids the best.

@@marriejames01 so do I. But meth isn’t much better than heroin. Get off the drugs and be clean for her kids.

Yeah... and that takes time and money

Oh hell , I see people with the "cardboard signs" in a walmart parking lot , when walmart is hiring all day long

When I lived in NYC a beggar asked me for 5 dollars for Starbucks . I was making 100 k and didn’t use Starbucks . When I offered him 1$ for coffee at the bodega, hesaid their coffee wasn’t as good as Starbucks. I just shook my head . He was wearing better sneakers than me!!

Many of the homeless are crazy, or psychotic, if you prefer.. They may be lazy too. In those cases were they aren't lazy, they are unable to do what needs to be done in order to something like a comfortable life.

Sounds like he was trying to milk the county of its resources like EBT and bill assistance. I know because I’ve had to tweak my hours in order to have medical since I don’t have a good job that offers good insurance at an affordable rate. I don’t like scraping by paycheck to paycheck but the free health care helps a lot, especially when your spouse needs medication monthly that totals over 1500 out of pocket. Everybody has a story and everybody has their own reasons

There’s more to life than working insanely long hours

not just the cigarettes, she does "meth at least once a day"

I lol'd so hard, because it makes so much sense.

It amazes me that they are dirt poor but can fork over 10.00 + for a pack of smokes 🤔

"It's an addiction." That's my brother's excuse, smh. He blows a minimum of $200 a week on malt liquor and Swisher cigars. He should just have his SSI check sent straight to the liquor store. 🙄

If you used to be a heavy smoker, you do understand. Before I quit with the help of anti-smoking medication and laser therapy, I smoked 2-3 packs a day. It took me about 30 years to finally quit.

Sadly i dont think they will win the battle because they are not fighting. God helps those who help themselves. Amen. ❤

They have series problems with narcotics. This is an epidemic in this country. pull the wool off your eyes!!

I figured he was just high.

She Just getting warmed up..😅

She does have a set of twins tho 😏

I'm July 17😀...1986

Why do you find it so thrilling to piss on vulnerable people?

They are better off without her. Many children grow up without there fathers and the dads always get a pass. She's a mess and she knows it. Her kids are in safe stable environments. She can't even provide that for herself, she's doing the right thing. Would you feel differently if she had given them up for adoption? At least they are with family who love them.

That's the power of meth, habitually lying.

They are better off away from her

Ha, the US is a shithole. It's just that the mainstream media tells you lies and provides misinformation. Also, for some reason, we have a ton of money for Ukraine while we the citizens are dying.

You know you enjoyed watching that nasty white girl 😂

Good for you, Congratulations!

And I never ever had respect for a lazy scag that pumps out a bunch of kids from bums and doesn't even take care of them.

Alot of men are like this.

I don't have respect for lazy able bodied young men or women. Especially ones with 6 children who they're not caring for

​@@bellacortez I work 70 hours a week. 10 hours a day. Some men are lazy, not all.

Let's not forget her and the SIX kids. I have no respect for a woman who has all of those babies and can't provide for them. Accountability goes both ways.

Drugs make you stupid.. simple.

Like you would now

@@doriangray7238Aw, did he hit a nerve?

That’s very good please wait I had my first child at 36 I waited til I was financially stable. Enjoy your freedom now because once a baby comes it’s all over.

You keep waiting it may be harder to conceive and kid could have birth defects or developmental disabilities.

@@MrErichonda30 I understand. I’m a medical provider. But also.: times have changed. There’s a lot of advances in technology as well. But I want to do what’s best in my life not whats best for someone else.

This video isn't about you. Stfu

Sounds like you're making excuses for when you're too old to have kids. As someone who was raised in a poor family, waiting for money is a poor excuse to not have a family.

By selling the shit, she gets her drugs free and helps keep the community on task.

I wonder who would let her in their home to clean. Drug addicts STEAL!

Bro it’s Gila Bend. It forms part of a major drug trafficking corridor. That shit is everywhere and hella cheap

She got a decent little body and probably the finest thing around methville. So she aint paying for anything.🤣

​@@julioalberto2794 Thought she said that she cleans house for money.

Nope. She’s doing meth everyday. I wouldn’t let her near my house.

Start a business is the new trendy theme. You will not LLC your way out of poverty. Look at the statistics on how many small businesses go under in its first year. 10 years ago no one was preaching start a business. It’s easier to just find a job for a stable income even though that won’t get you out of poverty either and neither will it stop drug use.

@@SolorockinOneI’m thinking he means bring in some money without depending on someone to hire you ?

@@fourtwentythree There’s nothing wrong with working for someone. Too many people preach starting a business as a solution to everything. Again, you will not LLC your way out of poverty but I understand where you’re coming from.

@@SolorockinOne I like working for people but this woman in the video might find it difficult to get hired, but for herself she can probably make money and build a clientele. Again I’m not talking about an LLC I realize these not a viable solution for most people, so I understand you too 👍
