I have lived a hundred lives from this channel. I love how he just drops you in the middle of a life. I've slept in penny sit-ups, I've worked as a baker, an apprentice, I've been a grocer. I have lived on four pence a week. I survived the black plague! 11pm, North Carolina, USA.

Australia 🇦🇺 here, 1.30 am. I am a divorced pensioner, pay rent and food is the lowest priority on my list to make ends meet. Rarely eat meat. Not much has changed for those of us who can't work anymore. At least my children are all well-educated adults with good jobs and families of their own.

Hilarious how many strangers invite you into their homes and businesses. <br>Almost like a ghost people can see and hear.

This is not a problem of the past. Many people aren't listening from their memory foam mattresses and it isn't a "moral failure".
