When Government "Plans" For The Future | The Hollowmen

[@CanyonManGuy]

“This is too grand a vision to be bogged down in details.” Had me wheezing.

[@FesteringRatSub]

That's exactly how it works

[@garyhost6289]

It is if you don't work for Phillip and Warren - they know whats up

[@Handleyman]

Frighteningly close to reality!

[@Woodbug-b7t]

Brilliant...just BRILLILLIANT !!

[@jocee569]

We need this series back.

[@timeimp]

"you got initiave in there!" 🤣 "smell the paper"

[@SpottoBotto]

Bring back The Hollowmen

[@damienkramer]

We have Utopia now.

[@user-wr4uz8pg7m]

@@damienkramer It doesn't have to be either/ or ! :)

[@damienkramer]

@@user-wr4uz8pg7m technically you are correct and that is the best kind of correct, but I’m just not sure how well they might go producing both at the same time. Working Dog are a very capable outfit, but they aren’t Warner Brothers. I really think the ship has sailed on The Hollowmen and it would make more sense to focus their efforts on Utopia.

[@teddyrasputin3850]

Lovely dream. While we're at it bring back it's predecessors, "Yes Minister" and "Yes Prime Minister".

[@tobyfoster3695]

Love it Exactly how government works in all countries 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

[@tobybrown1179]

Only in the west.. China looks 200 years ahead

[@antred11]

This is how all HUGE institutions operate, government or not. Believe me, it's the same BS in corporations.

[@teddyrasputin3850]

​@@tobybrown1179LOL, that looks good on government proclamations, but how then do they explain Tiananmen?

[@teddyrasputin3850]

That's how it looks in any large company or institution with the critical mass of cash and personnel to hide the skim and scam.

[@anncoral]

"Smell the paper" so real.

[@mrrolandlawrence]

so on point.

[@kuukeli]

great one

[@KeppyKep]

This is way too good

[@blairmcfarland7165]

The theme continues in the next tv series Utopia

[@PuuberZ]

Where can I buy or watch this entire series?

[@damienkramer]

I think it’s on Stan

[@Jenifer_R_]

This is exactly the kind of sh*t I point to when I try to explain satire to Americans.

[@ellicel]

Satire….documentary….ah….it’s a thin line 😂

[@user-wr4uz8pg7m]

Have you seen Veep ?

[@Jenifer_R_]

@@user-wr4uz8pg7m No. It looks hilarious, though. And the US arguably did a better version of The Office. But Working Dog are masters of the art.

[@xenonozhid3383]

I wish these characters made it to Utopia!

[@raedlives9261]

Isn't it from Utopia?

[@damienkramer]

This is from a series called “The Hollowmen”. It was released in the early 2000’s and was made by Working Dog, the same crew behind Utopia. I see Utopia as the spiritual successor to The Hollowmen

[@raedlives9261]

@damienkramer thank you for the clarification, I've only recently been introduced to Working Dog Productions and have been absolutely loving these videos. Clearly I need to watch the complete series for both shows. 😊

[@wobblysauce]

People thinking about the big picture... forgetting about the little details.

[@onewaytoliveby]

Is this why we have a $1T debt and nothing to show for it?

[@jjsc4396]

If Australians REALLY understood how reflective this is of the reality of their appallingly facile, dithering governance they all emigrate.

[@ellicel]

Except for the fact that it works like this pretty much everywhere! I’m in the US and this really resonates. 😂

[@James_Bowie]

This is not fiction. This is a training film.

[@MrAtlas40]

Sadly, this fictional Canberra is still functioning better than real Canberra. Where is Graeme Blundell when his country needs him?

[@MikeFromDownUnder]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@Woodbug-b7t]

I'm sick of all this vaping....BRING BACK THE SEASON OF THE BONG !!!!!

[@aiart3453]

best show eveeer

[@TheK-PopInPublicAuthority]

Is this comedy?

[@jorgen7180]

"The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act" in the US sounds very similar, but with 1.2 Trillion. It's scary, very scary, how all these clowns do the same everywhere.

[@antred11]

Can you explain? What are the details of the instructure investment act that you object to?

[@jorgen7180]

@antred11 All of it. As Biden acknowledged last week, the bill has little to do with infrastructure and is mostly focused on the 'green agenda.' It wasn’t the government that built the infrastructure in the U.S., but the people. If any money is approved for infrastructure, it must be given to each state and local government, not the federal government. The entire approach is flawed. As you can see in the video (a humorous depiction of reality), they simply approved funds for the sake of it, without any concrete plan. I'm not willing to pay 45% or more of my income for this nonsense and hand it over to these irresponsible people. If one of your children had 200% debt compared to their income, would you give them more money?
