MrBeast. now his cool, philanthropic facade has crumbled, but before he even created it, he made edgy "jokes" about buying Black people…

I mean in a year or so I'm sure the US will allow people "rent" prisoners and some of them will even be locally sourced!

Yeah that's the typical chain gang type labor that we've always allowed. But I'm pretty sure a random citizen can't just rent a single person atm. And it's not going to be retail or office jobs. Who wouldn't want their own prison "secretary".

Yeah but I meant your everyday American. You're not walking down the street seeing your local prisoner carrying some yuppie's shopping bags.

They're scraping roadkill off highways and picking cotton. I'm suggesting they'll change not only what forced labor is allowed but also how it looks.

Like many others, I've always felt he was fake and so were his videos. Was not surprised when all the crap about him and his rigged contests came to light.

Does somebody have a source for / link to the drama? I know the guy and have seen a couple of videos, but the fakeness tuned my off too.

But my YouTube frontage was full of him and still is.
