I’m sorry which conservatives denied the damage from the East Palestine disaster? If anything I heard heavy criticism

Why should the Indians own the land? Thats not how any conquest and country has ever been founded during all of mankind’s history. lol The Indians constantly killed each other and battled for land. Why should America give a losing, backward tribe free land?!?

Thank you for doing this video. People need to be aware of this atrocious bullshit. I grew up learning about this shit in Minnesota. Fortunately, my teachers told me the truth about what happened there and many other places and times, so at least my classmates and I were informed so we could grow up helping to make sure the truth is known, the assholes responsible are NOT remembered with any kind of respect, and that nothing like that ever happens again.

dude shut up

wtf kuz

Imagine we get a global zero carbon emission and then another one of these pop off

Simon ftw I don't like to the new presenter on this channel

The mistake of the system was clear-cutting right through urban areas. Mostly low income areas.

The way you tell these stories makes me think you like what happened.

BP didn't care what happened to it's workers!!! The damage thet they have done is lasting!!! I'm sure that that money that they have paid is nothing to what they should have paid!!! They have just walkex away!!!

In the long run, the interstates did more severe damage than any good that they are perceived as being. The decline of older northern cities, the bypassing of small rural towns, and the development of environmentally destructive, aesthetically hideous suburban sprawl were all caused by the interstates. Americans became too addicted to automobiles and the serious problems of obesity and respiratory ailments are all an end result of a wasteful car centric lifestyle. The USA made its most horrendous mistakes in its history right after the Second World War by becoming beholden to the oil, auto, rubber tire, and road building industries. We had the best passenger rail network in the world prior to 1945. We allowed other modes of transportation to decline and wither away just so that the automobile would become the only viable method to get around. Now we are facing a multi billion dollar maintenance and repair bill for the aging interstate network but there are other pressing needs and there is only so much funding available every year.

Sorry, i come here to listen to Simon read content. If i wanted some random American dude, id listen to a different channel 😂

the sound doesn't match the video for most of this one

Read the epic of Gilgamesh to find the gold

Did Simon escape, or is he dead?

In Alabama, local police are not allowed to stop speeders on the interstate, unless the city has more than 50K of population.

Ahhh breezewood an amazing olace to stop when traveling between ohio and maryland

Simon please say Bottle of Water

It’s kinda sad during the WW2 the Islanders helped the americans winning the war, fast forward to the ethnic tension when the Solomon Islands asked the US for help they did nothing damn....ain’t that a bitch

This is very interesting. I gratefully accept correction of certain inaccuracies in my beliefs. A few years ago I was teaching international students. I always tried to find interesting ways to engage them in otherwise dry topics. One day a few of them complained that it was bizarre that in the US a car was a necessity, while others were ecstatic about the ease of renting a car and the wonderful Interstates. I asked the good-natured quarreling students if they knew that the Interstate was a weapon, the weapon that killed the USSR. That got an immediate silence followed by a slew of shocked questions. I told them to compare the US economic stats before and after the opening of the highways and compare the US and USSR stats. That was very effective in getting them to do the homework, and the follow up discussion was equally interesting and productive.

Our interstate system can support military vehicles. Now yes tracked vehicles will tear ANY road up over time, especially if they don't have their rubber track pads installed. Bridges with weight limitations will have signs depicting this to caution the crossing of the bridge with excessive weight mi I tissue vehicles. We do consider the interstates as back up air straps for military aircraft. Honestly the interstate system has been a huge boon to the US economy allowing it to be more de centralized than rail would require.

Today is the result of past

Gotta give it to the Americans tho for actually checking for any signs of a dangerous fault line before building their nuclear plants on the west coast

I have been here several times in my life. The size and beauty are great. It’s sad how every amazing site or place has a dark past. However you choose to see it, that’s how we got here. I wish knowing history would help us not repeat it but that’s just something we tell our kids. In reality we are human and use the past as a template for the future, with slow progress away from the mistakes of the past.

If time went back, I would hope that the Baghdad Library had not been burned by the Mongols. If the Baghdad Library had not been burned, we would now be living in space. All the books had been burned. What a pity. 😢💔

Silicon Valley wouldn’t be a Big Loss.

I just got to Bucharest while touring Europe. This is brilliant 🤩 thanks boss

I never got out of my cell but maybe every 6 or 7 months and then you had to fight and it was all directed by the guards so don't give me this 23 hours bullshit

Years late, love the shirt.

Speed limits were proposed and invented not for safety, but a form of State taxes.

Was looking forward to hearing about Deadwood but had to inject politics into it.

21 hundred hours*

I’ve watched this over four days so far, and I still haven’t finished it.
