I thought America was "The land of the free".

Its always those at the bottom of the ladder that get shat on sadly and quite cruelly they are the ones populist and extremist politicians target, promising them a better life usually by blaming immigrants for all their problems and how they are the only ones to fix it.

It must be scary as hell living in America and being in that situation and its only going to get worse now. Will people ever learn?

He could have been talking in an English accent as some points he raised are a reality for an awful lot of people in the UK.
I don't agree with everything he says but ask me in a couple of years, I just may do!

Now, now Rob, Barry is a reformed character!

None Rob. Politics is banned on here so that would be very naughty indeed but just for the record any party that fits that description I would have a go at.

A common mistake to make, the USA has laws which take away 'rights' which we enjoy in the UK.

Almost Ral.

The bit you got wrong was he's Rastafar-left.

Maybe we need a sarcastic emoji for my "Land of the free" comment.

To be fair everyone including Attila the Hun is "Rastafar left" of Ral.

So now "free" and "rights" are the same thing

Didn't watch the whole video, but I am not convinced about the main premise of basically being illegal to live in a van. In the US there are loads of very low cost camping areas, generally referred to as BLM - Bureau of Land Management - Land, but not limited to just those. They have a 2 week limit so would have to move every two weeks to a fresh location (I guess it is a similar thing to being a "continuous cruiser" on the British Canalways).
What is the difference between "living" in a van and just being on a permanent holiday in a van?

If this was mentioned later in the video about BLM camping being stopped, then didn't get to that point, but the guy was just too depressing to carry on watching, sorry.

In the UK we are 'free' to plant vegetables in our gardens, do that in some parts of the US and you could be jailed, so you won't be 'free'.
