0:00 at Americana remember when they St LA and they just they're basically like takeovers yeah yeah everybody just runs in grabs everything and runs out and like you know those people who are working there it's not on themom T I'm trying to figure out when the next one is which group chat is [Music] it hey did you guys hear about the uh UPS how like UPS drivers yes 170k dude they're killing it so it's been like report that uh the union struck a deal um and UPS drivers are now going to make up to 170k a year good for them dude they're the they're very nice people do you think it's true I like them I think it's true because then prices are going to go up for shipping now ooh interesting I feel like we're I don't even know the cost gets passed down to you can't wait is there if it's
0:52 sustainable to do it that way yeah is there a reason why um delivery services but specifically UPS over like other things DHL FedEx USPS or whatever like receive such a high salary the union the union they argue a good yeah they they got it but it's not exactly 170k equivalent yeah it's like your your uh your insurance your benefits your pensions it what it what it means is that it would rival a 170k a year job like you'd have to have a 170k a year job to take you away from UPS that's still good cuz I mean like you don't need a college degree for ups and if you no you have to have a master's if you're if you're just working as a driver and then and then if you you know
1:43 like some people like they're like I don't want to keep getting promoted like I'm just I like just being a driver right and then you can have like a stable job for the rest of your life yeah so I asked my I have a friend who's been working at UPS for quite a while and I asked him to uh like tell me something something that they're not writing about in all the Articles like why about the 170k thing this is what he told me oh he did it voice yeah he sent me a voice message okay so here's the thing our contract everyone's saying 170,000 that is absolute unless you're maybe a semi-truck driver for UPS those guys can get up there cuz they're pretty much getting paid the entire time they're driving from but and Egypt to California and back the whole time um
2:35 downside obviously they don't get to see their family and then uh is he on a shift right now for me that high pay and everything like that we're not going to see that till 2027 that's the one thing that they don't say uh on the contract they're just we have a progression so it's like we're going to get up to $49 an hour at 2027 that makes sense but there's no guarantee that we're going to get enough hours to get that the only way to possibly get close to $170,000 in a year is if we're working 6 days a week at our maximum amount of hours that California can let us work which is 14 hours a day um and even then that's pushing it
3:25 like there's no it's I don't think it's possible like you get literally got to have no life to make that money but yeah at the end of the day um you know if you do see me with a new car cardier bracelet you know that wasn't from UPS package baby then he he added something else right here oh and another thing cuz a lot of people that I've been hearing about talking about it they're like oh I can just imagine now how much shipping is going to cost um UPS has always been overcharging for shipping um obviously maybe don't play that part out loud yeah they've always charged a lot so and since the beginning of
4:16 Co they what a gangster saved and made so much money off of us new drivers that came in because we were pretty much the discount version of what we're where we're supposed to be at now that's a big detail so they made billions upon billions upon billions of and they didn't even want to give it back to their members they ended up giving it to the stock shareholders and everybody kind of was pissed so that's why our contract this time around we were willing to just strike and pretty much destroy UPS to get what we wanted damn that last part so what's being done here is it's reparations for something that they did was unjust to the worky they felt bad and you don't see that written anywhere I mean why would you this is like the prime example of like a good headline and people just go off of the
5:06 headline yeah and instead it's like attracting people to work for UPS but they're not actually going to get this as easily as yeah for sure you know when you see like those videos of uh like Amazon delivery drivers and stuff like that that are just getting looted yeah they got a they got a sh they got a in the bucket yeah like that's are those different issues I was like what are you talking about looted from bad guys cuz I was thinking about looted from Amazon cuz like their hours are so hardcore that to make their like demands they have to pissing in the bucket in their in their dve got it yeah that's exactly what I was saying except the other one they don't have time to do a bathroom break so they're being looted by like Heist people yeah when you just see like a bunch of people in hoods like run up to a event and then
5:56 they just like overwhelm that one driver and they're just jacking everything off the bus ah like that's where I'm like all right yeah you need to pay these drivers cuz like they're like safety or whatever's on the line and if they they they're getting backed with the salad then they need to like protect their goods you know Hazard pay whenever you guys drive whenever you guys drive by an Amazon truck do you think like man I could just run in there and take whatever I want no you need like you need like 60 people to do it all at once no of course you got a crew of course you got a crew they you see that's been going on around a lot right like freaking people going I mean even at the like everyone of the St at Americana when they St me and they just they're basically like takeovers yeah yeah everybody just runs in grabs everything runs out and like you know those people who are working there it's not on them from to I'm trying to figure out when the next one is which group chat is it you guys you guys are need a 62 guy don't play into
6:47 your stereotype here like I don't I mean I think it's up but at the same time I'm like that is kind of smart cuz when I was that age like to organize a smash and grab dude how many people could I have convinced to bum rush a store and just grab everything together and Just Bounce like kids were doing crime all like forever but they've been stealing independently these guys are organizing 40 50 people together and all doing it like I'm not here giving them props but I'm just saying like I could tap into that mentality when I was their age honestly yeah like if I in the ruffian I could see that being I could see it making logical sense no we were like walking up and like you got it all right
7:37 be my Lookout all right let's go I feel like it's like the ding-dong ditch era of like of now pretty much yeah but like you know it's I'm not I'm not trying to like side with the bad guys but at the same time when s███'s like difficult when the cost of living is rising when your salar is aren rising when like the economy is getting over because of like poor governmental choices like you're just pushing people into a corner you know like it's not even just people just like stealing like high fashioned designer pieces it's people like stealing groceries from grocery stores and organizing those in order to make sure that your community is being fed you know what I'm saying kind of is kind of is probably going to get worse before it gets better was the last time you stole something me stealing hearts baby I how much of that I don't like that answer you're too good yeah I wonder how much of that is just youth boredom how
8:27 much of that is necessity how much of that is just like youth anger towards Society you know like cuz yeah there are different reasons why people jack cuz they're greedy or like you know like some people just want to jack and then like people just cpto some people have intrusive thoughts and they want to live it out I guess I guess that's the thing it's like if you're mobbing then you have everyone for every reason doing it together it's like you could probably find somebody in there that needed it you can find someone who just wanted to have fun like of course but then you're right it is the it's like the Battle Royale version of like individual jacking you know what I mean it's like hey at least let's get a Lobby together 30 people and then we can and then we can we can steal larger volumes and better items and then we can start a militia together yeah so it's not all Claire's belts and Claire's belt I
9:17 think regardless of motive it's still theft right oh yeah it's still like bad for society but also Society is bad generally right now so you know and I think like at least it was consequences for our us like we all knew if we're doing it something's going to happen I think that's the difference is like well someone was going to chase you at least you can't chase you can't chase anymore now no one's doing yeah everyone watching recording yeah but that's the thing though it's it's the the litigation climate that we're in nobody wants to be liable for something right but if it's that if it's that like you don't have any consequences right that wouldn't that drive someone who is like you know what what I always wanted to steal something but now I won't get in trouble so maybe I'll just take that purse I think about it all the time and might drive people who never would have
10:07 stolen well they caught they caught two people from that uh Americana uh oh they did they caught two of them but they released them yeah they released them the same day and with a citation yeah it's just a catch a release in my head I I fantasize about this all the time yeah that's why I'm like honestly I'm inspired to just Jack some too like cuz why not when I see that Snickers bar just keep it under 9 50 that's all you got to do but after you see that and nothing happens doesn't that make you just go why am I working hard to be honorable why I want to be a crook so bad dude you want to know what really like broke my heart to be honest so like this happened in Downey at the mall in Downey recently where they uh Smash and grab the jewelry store there my I showed my mom cuz like my mom lives in Downey and then she goes oh um that's the Jeweler that your dad saved up to
10:58 buy our engag engagement ring oh my gosh my dad saved for like years to afford the ring like from his job back when like in the 80 or '70s and then that Jeweler like used to be outside the mall and then like they moved and then my mom was just watching it like that's so sad like to think that to think that we could have just jacked it all those Wasted Years all we had to do is get a group of people together oh it was that easy yeah he didn't have to work so hard that's why you got to have friends you got to have a community of friends right they educate you on stuff like this yeah for real JK takeover let's do
11:56 it
