Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.George Carlin died in 2008. What year was this recorded, I have to wonder, 80s, 90's. I also have to wonder how many over weight people were in the audience and how they took what he was saying in the beginning.
Do I have you gears turning now?
How many people in that audience actually understood his political commentary? I and people like me are still preaching the very same message and have been for over 12 years alone since this Carlin gig. We get labeled by the vast majority of the very type of people that filled those seats in that theater.
Lewis Black anyone? This new guy getting popular, Vic the car guy? Vic recently has been going viral on the Internet after his shows in NY were canceled due to the covid virus. He's been doing stand up for years.
Everybody is loving these people but missing the message! !?!

You can speak for yourself, but we always are making shit up when we say who understand or don't or what people are thinking.
@gigihein you're on a higher level of intelligence than me. Not only am I unable to understand your reply, but it seems my comment was so stupidly produced, I couldn't get my point across to you.
@William_Mary Nah,not more intelligent, different perspective may have had me not get what you said. Another view doesnt make you wrong or me right. just looked at through a different lens. Sorry if I come off as thinking I am right.
He has always been a straight talker.

Oh dear this is so horribly true. Will Covid kill off these super sized humans?

I doubt if anyone can be certain of what makes certain people more susceptible to corvid-19. Research suggests that there is a higher death rate amongst the obese, but that may be because the strain that being obese puts on the body affects the immune system's ability to ward off the illness.
It's the same with anyone with a compromised immune system , and especially those with any form of pulmonary disease. Contracting the corona virus in these cases can be too much for the body to fight, but it isn't the virus that is the real killer it is the underlying health condition.
However, the blame is placed on corvid-19, but why? The reason is that no government wants people asking why they have been happy to see people die for so long due to underlying health conditions, that nobody seems to be in a rush to find cures for.
Obesity is not just the fault of individuals, it is also due to a system that makes processed junk food cheaper than unprocessed fruit and vegetables, that allows huge inequalities in wealth, that makes it easier and safer to drive everywhere, and where individuals may have to work long hours, to make ends meet, making exercise hard to fit in.
The reality is that poverty kills, and it does so in far greater numbers than corvid-19, but greed and selfishness means that few care about this.
