    I know a couple of EMTs here in Vegas. They say every time it rains anywhere in or around the valley (even just lightly), at least 20 people drown in the sewers. Not only does this happen, but they aren't allowed to go into the sewers either. So anytime someone overdoses down there and manages to call 911, they still have to get themselves to the nearest tunnel entrance. Which can mean miles of walking through pitch black drainage tunnels... Only to find out the ambulance is at a completely different entrance.

    The reality of living here in Las Vegas is far worse. The conditions are abysmal, and the treatment of employees is nothing short of appalling. It's as if they're mere pawns in a game, manipulated and exploited at every turn. The casinos operate with a sinister efficiency, employing agents trained in psychological manipulation to identify and prey upon vulnerable individuals, akin to the unsettling tactics described in government gang stalker theories. It's a disturbing truth that underscores the depths of exploitation and manipulation rampant in our society. Not to mention that position is legalized here and people go missing on the daily, everywhere you turn someone is in a shady business practice here and you have to know someone who know's someone just to get a job at a supermarket it's sickening.

    It wasn’t turned off as rich snobs wanted it on for their luxury cars down in Vegas.

I went to Honolulu and San Francisco. Some american guy told me that San Francisco is the best city in the country. Well, if that is the best city, then I don't want to know what the other cities are like. There were homeless people at every corner! Many of them were full of drugs and quite aggressive so that they have security personnel at the hotel entrances! As to Honolulu: I love the Hawaiian islands, the nature... But then again, it's unfortunately part of the USA, so: homeless people everywhere. I really don't get this. How can a country treat its people so badly? Then I realized that USA is indeed a totally different system than Europe. While not everything is perfect in Germany or Europe in general and there is a lot to criticize, people are treated like humans here.

It doesnt have ads on the outside. Ive been there a couple times, its fun to see documentaries on places I will probably never go.
      The idea itself of showing nature documentaries to "raise awareness" isnt bad, its just that Americans (sorry if you are one, my condolences) cant do anything the normal way. And IMAX sphere is a pretty neat concept, you do really feel immersed.

It’s in “unincorporated Clark County” just outside the limits of actual Las Vegas because when the Chicago mob built their first casino, they did it to avoid cops restricted to city limits and put it right next to a highway. And it stayed this way when the mob eventually lost power because a bonus to this quirk is that the people owning the property don’t have to pay as much tax to the city too.

    The kicker for me with Musk's "death tunnels" is he claims Teslas are so safe the chances of a problem aren't significant, while Tesla's real-world incident stats are actually terrifying, and top the list for most incidents PC. Personally I'm amazed we haven't seen the inevitable yet.

      History remembers one as _unsafe at any speed,_ the other is an infamous fire hazard.

    My mom is a gambling addict. It’s really no joke. We went to Las Vegas for my 21st. I had an absolute blast, because well, I don’t gamble. Everything in Las Vegas is so cheap because they make their money back on gambling tenfold. They were getting really annoyed with me because I would do no gambling. I’d go get cheaper free drinks, go watch some shows, some street performances, and have a cigar. The little gambling I did was very cheap. I made $100 stretch two days. On the third day, I was standing next to my mom who was gambling and she was sweating from excitement. She turned me and said give me $100. She had an animalistic look in her eye and I gave her the hundred dollars and she lost it and just said she would give me another hundred later. $100 gone in an instant that I used to go see three shows get drunk and have a good time.

    why do we make video games and movies about sci fi dystopia when you can just go to places like Dubai and Vegas

      @@mingus445_gaming that’s not how society should work but yeah sure. How does a rich country like the US even allow this to happen in the first place. And what good can I do any way. I’m not even American let alone in a position to help these people

      ​@@MrJimheeren plutocracy. the power (money) all lies in the hands of the 1% of the 1%. What you can do is this: understand there is a problem. Take measures to fix it. Start by becoming as competent as you possibly can, in every way you possibly can. The absurdly wealthy fear the power that lies in the hands of competent citizens who take responsibility for their communities. This is why community has been demonized and emphasis placed on the subjective identity of the individual. Once you become fairly skilled, you may be able to convince people to join you. Once you are extremely capable, people will beg to be like you. Teach them that resistance is not futile and never has been.

    Went there for the first time last year. The thing no one seems to talk about is just how terrible it smells there. LIke actually, it is by far the worst smelling place i've been to in the US. Just another thing to tack on to this list.
