The Original September 11th

We're in Chile! Well, I guess technically we were already in Chile, but mainland is mainland.

Now that we've hit the milestone 100 Patreons I think I'm going to start dedicating some time to making Patreon-only videos and posts more often. My current plan is to sit down and do some storytelling with visuals from parts of our trips that didn't make it into the series. Basically just me chatting off-script about inside jokes, I'm guessing.

Like Tom Scott's Park Bench. Except just for Patreon, and likely on my couch. Rare Earth's Home Couch.

Enjoy! As usual, feedback is always welcome.

William thanks for the response mate. FYI super fan of NZ.

Yeah, you're right, it's not - the goal of communism is ostensibly to force a socialist society to happen. Going from socialism to communism is a step backwards. Kiwi here, btw. Our power and telephone infrastructure became privatised in the 80s, afaik. It seemed a good idea in the short run, but it has caused New Zealand to fall behind the tech curve as the private companies cannot afford to keep up with technological advancements, and have had to make services very expensive. Heck, we can't afford to have unlimited broadband because it slows down the service for everyone. We're slowly rolling out fibre, which is great, but man is it gonna be expensive. So I feel your pain, mate.

Bots gonna bot. Considering 2k dislikes came in less than thirty minutes with only around 800 views, I'd argue something was fishy... Doesn't bother me. That just says to me somebody reacted.

Once again Rare Earth, thanks for more great content. You make learning more fun and I feel more part of familiar with our global community with everything you produce. Pity about the 2k dislikes; remarkably round number.

So. We're on the internet so here goes with a mention. So i'm Australian which I imagine is closer to Canadian than American. We have public schools, public utilities, public emergency services (fire, police, ambulance, SES, etc) as well as public heath, public works, public roads. Makes us pretty socialist and i'm fine with that. I cant imagine a privatised Fire service, privatised electricity utility is pretty bad here (most expensive in the world in South Australia). I enjoy this, i enjoy owning a business, employing staff paying tax, supporting the public health system. It doesn't seem like the path to Communism to me though.
