Bad Dads | American Greed

[@milanimorales2645]

Whoever waited until Father's Day to release this was cold. 😅😆😆😆😁 Dead wrong.

Men are treated like scum in today’s society

[@Mini-ge9sm]

[@tamuz9633]

Foolish woman! Stop acting as if you don't know that most horrible men are fathers too! Who do you think fills up the jail systems? Men who are fathers. Who are paedophiles, r*pists, serial k*llers, child mol*sters in the family and neighborhood? Husbands and fathers. STOP being so dramatic and naive about what you know is the truth about men. Many men are predators at heart. They fight every day to be civilized because they are afraid of getting caught. Keep being naive and silly like that and you just might end up on someone's crime channel!

[@jeffcampbell2710]

Regulations aren't the problem. It's excessive regulations that are harmful. Like shutting down pipelines with bogus regulations that skyrocket fuel and all products. Like we are suffering this very moment.

[@milanimorales2645]

I think all the men that are secure in themselves and know they are not bad dad's can chuckle and move on. If they released a "Bad Moms" video on mother's day, I wouldn't take it personally, because I know I am not a bad mom. Don't let anyone steal your joy guys. Happy Father's Day.

Mother here! Hi! I seriously would not care a bit about seeing a title that said, “Bad Mothers” on Mother’s Day.

[@WizeandShine]

Right it’s like they don’t realize no American greed episode is ever positive😂

[@lottoCIZZLER]

That's cuz u get praised everyday even claim ur both parents on fathers day .... Father's can't even have 1 honored day with u blood suckers

[@HellaReckless]

Right. People are such sheep and spamming the comments with the same BS

[@Beautifully_Elle7]

Because if you’re a ‘bad mom’, then that’s what is it. Horrible human is a horrible human.

I love these comments they’re great I find them to be hilarious considering that I am a dad and they’re talking about Baghdad’s find it to be hilarious but so far this is an excellent episode of American greed

[@kloud1174]

Imagine CNBC releasing "Bad Moms" on mother's day.

[@Sunny-sc6pf]

They did Google it

[@intuitivefire]

Exactly why didn't they post a video on mothers day called bad moms this is foil asf

[@jcguy777]

Haha

[@sarahissersohn5495]

Yeah, nobody in the media ever villifies Moms- that would really be crazy

[@sashamoore9691]

This is more like "bad dudes who happen to be dads".

I love ❤️ Stacy Keach the narrator 's voice!!!

Never, ever get under a car supported only by a jack. Always use jack stands for safety. As an additional precaution, use the wheels and keep the jack in position as backups. This tragic accident could have been easily prevented.

[@dwaynesmith9482]

Could have but who expects their own father to push a car on you

[@THEALCOHOLICdAYTRADER-vd5ti]

My stepdad parked an old car on a grassy hill one time, jacked it up, and had me under there working on it for hours alone. I was 15, and I didn't really know much about cars. That was his idea of teaching me some practical skills, apparently. He and I don't talk much these days. I agree about the jackstands. My stepdad told me not to ever use them, because he says they always collapse. To this day I wonder if he's really stupid or if he just didn't like me much.

[@aquariusthompson8212]

Most rich people stay rich by spending like the poor and investing without stopping then most poor people stay poor by spending like the rich yet not investing like the rich but impressing them

[@KathyJvanest]

Exactly! My grandparents were so frugal but they had a TON of money on both sides. I remember my grandfather telling me "you want to make money while you sleep." And I guess that attitude passed down to my dad (RIP), because I remember going to his house one day and I had bought something I really liked, so I wanted to show it to him. So I said "Look at this! Isn't it cute? It was on sale...I saved 50%!" My dad replied "Well, if you're spending, you're not saving." Obviously I had no retort, and that has always stuck with me.

[@Kelompok16SistemMultimedia]

Saving and investing wisely while prioritizing necessities and a few small luxuries in relation to one's total assets is a great approach. It helps ensure financial stability and I my for the enjoyment of life's little pleasures without compromising long-term financial goals. It's all about finding a balance that works for you!

[@CarlosGarcia56590]

How do you do that? I'm interested

[@StaffSpecial]

Thanks to my co-worker (Alex) who suggested Mr Stephen Milne Ebert.

How hard is it to be sanitary? I know a businessman, he built a water way circle around his factory, not too wide not too deep. Cement then oiled the sides, then filled with water. The oily sides, no rats can climb up the other side, if they succeed in climbing down. Everything is power washed every day, clean and sanitary.

[@fj1988ia2006]

While I eat my pb&j 😕 how did I click on this

[@deidradahl2802]

I remember a parliamentarian who insisted that the drinking water was super safe. A smart reporter came ready with sanitary cups, and in the middle pf the public meeting, he offered a cup to the member and told him to turn on the tap and drink. In front of hundreds, he said '''I am not thirsty'''

[@Desertoasisstudios]

Imagine if 'peanut corporation of America ' if they ran the company in a sanitary respectable manner it would make bank.

[@can7ge7righ7]

Exactly why we actually need a "Bigger Government".

[@ExceptionalLibra]

😂😂 The playbook will never change. All I need is a Bible, a suit, and a bogus get-rich-quick scheme to take your money.

[@MamaTriedSolo]

How does this video show bad parenting?

[@no7114]

When asked to sample the peanut butter, reminded me of that Good Times Episode when Florida gave him a plate of the spoiled food she brought. Not only that James came through to make Sure He ate every bite of it.

In regard to the last coverage in this video, I've watched the police interrogation of Carl Carlson. From the interrogation, after his 1st wife died, which I believe he had a life insurance policy on, the Belgium horses he had, all died in a barn fire, in which he had his horses insured, and his son Levi, he also had a life insurance policy on. It was also found out that he had life insurance policies on both of his grandkids
