florida the place that answers the
[2]
question what if all the stuff that
[3]
didn't make it in a hot dog
[5]
became a state florida regularly faces
[8]
its share of disasters
[10]
rising sea levels hurricanes rampant
[13]
sleeve robbery
[15]
and now it's looking at toxic floods
[18]
of florida where tonight there is a
[20]
frantic effort to prevent a
[22]
catastrophic flood from a wastewater
[24]
pond near tampa
[25]
hundreds have been evacuated crews are
[28]
pumping out millions of gallons of toxic
[30]
water to relieve pressure at the pond
[32]
the piney point reservoir
[34]
at an old phosphate plant is surrounded
[36]
by radioactive material
[38]
a collapse of the aging reservoir could
[39]
send a 20-foot wall of wastewater into
[41]
nearby areas
[43]
that's why 30 million gallons of the
[45]
contaminated water are being pumped
[46]
every 24 hours
[48]
into tampa bay and other waterways
[50]
raising fears it could kill fish
[52]
and wildlife some 300 homes and a nearby
[56]
prison
[56]
already under evacuation orders sweet
[59]
jesus
[61]
florida could get hit by a 20-foot wall
[64]
of
[64]
toxic water surrounded by radioactive
[67]
material
[68]
you know what this means right if this
[70]
thing breaks it's going to create a race
[72]
of
[73]
mutant florida people nudes
[77]
now you might be thinking wait trevor i
[80]
thought a radioactive flood
[82]
was florida's origin story but no this
[85]
is a new
[86]
threat from a toxic waste pond which
[88]
raises
[89]
a big question isn't it weird that
[92]
america just dumps its toxic waste in a
[94]
pond
[95]
and calls it a day i mean it's never a
[98]
great sign when your solution to a
[99]
problem
[100]
sounds like a problem we have a lot of
[102]
toxic waste to get rid of
[104]
and you know what i'm thinking toxic
[106]
waste pond
[108]
toxic waste pond and a big part of this
[111]
problem
[112]
isn't just that the water is toxic but
[114]
that the walls
[115]
that are keeping the water in are
[117]
radioactive and if the water goes over
[119]
that wall
[120]
it will take the radiation with it and
[123]
look
[124]
i know hindsight is 20 20. but how do
[126]
they not realize
[128]
what a terrible design that was i mean
[130]
it's like building a lion cage out of
[131]
guns yeah it might keep the lions in for
[133]
a while but if they get out
[134]
now those lions are strapped moving on
[136]
now to some business news
[138]
according to a new report more than 50
[141]
major
[142]
u.s corporations paid zero federal
[145]
taxes last year and now janet yellen
[149]
u.s treasury secretary and retired
[151]
hogwarts professor
[152]
has a plan for making them pay up today
[155]
janet yellen in her first
[156]
major speech as treasury secretary
[159]
called for a
[159]
global corporate tax rate that would
[162]
stop
[163]
countries from trying to compete by
[166]
lowering
[166]
corporate tax rates to try to attract
[169]
new business
[170]
we're working with g20 nations
[173]
to agree to a global minimum corporate
[176]
tax rate
[177]
that can stop the race to the bottom
[180]
together we can use a global minimum tax
[183]
to make sure the global economy
[186]
thrives based on a more level playing
[189]
field
[190]
now this this is a great idea
[193]
because guys let's be let's let's be
[195]
real
[196]
corporations shouldn't be able to move
[199]
to a different country
[200]
just to avoid higher taxes right they
[203]
should move to a different country to
[204]
avoid going to prison for all those
[205]
children they got killed
[207]
i mean it's actually wild that
[208]
corporations can be incredibly
[209]
profitable
[210]
but not pay into the societies that
[212]
support them it's kind of like if mark
[214]
zuckerberg
[215]
still lived at his parents house and
[216]
didn't pay rent you're a billionaire my
[218]
man
[219]
at least chip in for the cable and what
[221]
makes the system more frustrating
[223]
is how little corporations have to do to
[226]
claim that they're located in another
[228]
country for tax purposes
[229]
and do you have any proof that your
[231]
company operates out of the cayman
[233]
islands
[234]
uh i have the seashell okay i get
[238]
it no need to bury us in all this
[240]
paperwork i get it
[242]
put the shell away i get it so look i'm
[244]
actually glad that they're trying to
[245]
force corporations to pay their fair
[247]
share
[248]
but this is only going to work if you
[250]
get all the countries
[251]
to agree to it you know it's like bars
[253]
in a college town
[254]
if there's one of them not checking ids
[257]
well
[258]
then that's where the party's at
[259]
honestly i don't even know if getting
[260]
all the countries on earth is even
[262]
enough
[262]
i mean why do you think elon musk and
[264]
jeff bezos want to go to mars so bad
[267]
it's not to advance human knowledge they
[269]
just want to set up a p.o box baby
[272]
and finally let's pour out a 40 gigabyte
[275]
bottle for an old internet friend
[276]
who is soon to be no more it's the end
[280]
of an era yahoo answers announced it'll
[282]
be shutting down on may 4th
[284]
users won't be able to post any new
[286]
questions or answers
[288]
after april 20th the move ends the
[290]
16-year reign of one of the internet's
[292]
longest running question and answer
[294]
sites the company
[296]
says the site has become less popular
[298]
over the years
[299]
as its members needs have changed oh no
[304]
now where will we go to get life or
[306]
death
[307]
medical advice from anonymous strangers
[309]
i mean this
[310]
was the spot but yes if you don't know
[313]
about yahoo answers it's the site where
[316]
the world's dumbest people
[318]
seek answers to even dumber questions
[321]
questions like do you think humans will
[324]
ever be able to walk on the sun
[326]
or does spider have puss puss
[330]
and i know people will say that yahoo
[332]
answers was a wasteland you know the
[333]
questions were all so stupid but that's
[335]
exactly what made it so valuable because
[338]
no matter what you searched online
[340]
whether it was what happens if i
[342]
swallowed an airpod
[343]
or how to tie a tie when hand is stuck
[346]
in toaster
[347]
you knew that at least one other person
[349]
had already asked it on yahoo answers
[352]
and you felt a little less alone
[355]
by the way the airpod comes out in your
[357]
poop the truth is
[359]
yahoo answers is dead now because it
[361]
wasn't keeping up with the more
[362]
effective services because yeah yes yeah
[364]
yeah
[364]
kept people misinformed but to truly be
[367]
successful in this day and age
[368]
you also have to radicalize people into
[370]
white supremacy that's how you make it
[372]
in tech
[373]
but still people i'm sad to see yahoo
[377]
answers
[377]
go i mean it's never easy to say goodbye
[380]
to beloved old websites
[382]
i still remember where i was the day ask
[385]
jeeves was
[386]
assassinated al qaeda man
[402]
