Which other spots deserves to be on this list?
| WARNING: This is not a movie. This is real life in Kensington, Philadelphia.
For six minutes, you're going to see what thousands of people walk past every day-human beings struggling to survive addiction, homelessness, trauma, and life on the streets.
These are not "just addicts." They are somebody's child, parent, sibling, friend, or loved one.
Some are fighting to make it through the next hour. Some are praying for another chance. Others feel like the world has already forgotten them.
I filmed this because looking away will never solve the problem.
Please watch until the end, share this video, and tell me honestly:
What will it take to save Kensington-and the people still fighting to survive there? ® #fyp #trending #addictionrecovery
Pentazocine is a strong pain-relieving drug (an opioid) that doctors often prescribe for severe pain. It is used for painful sickle cell crises because it provides quick relief when the pain becomes intense.
However some people use it out of this reason because pentazocine causes euphoria in some people, hence the abuse and addiction.
Among people who inject pentazocine repeatedly, doctors have reported severe complications such as skin ulcers, abscesses, hardened skin, damaged veins, and tissue destruction around injection sites.
This guy right here is a survivor of pentazocine abuse, take a look at the damage it has done to his skin.
China has 1.4 billion people. Yet they eliminated extreme poverty by 2020. Let that sink in.
They built 48,000km of high-speed rail, more than the rest of the world COMBINED. Bullet trains gliding at 350km/h connect every major city. Beijing to Shanghai, 1,300km, costs about $50, cheaper than crossing Lagos in traffic on some days from island to mainland via uber.
In the Qinghai desert sits the world’s largest solar farm, panels stretching to the horizon, generating power for millions. The Talatan project covers an area bigger than some entire cities. They installed more solar in 2024 alone than the US has installed in its ENTIRE history.
Off the coast of Fujian, massive offshore wind turbines taller than 80-storey buildings, some with blades longer than a football pitch, spin silently above the sea, powering millions of homes carbon-neutral.
A single one of these giants generates enough electricity in a day to power 170,000 households.
8 of the world’s 10 longest bridges are Chinese. The Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge runs 55km across open sea — a feat of engineering Western nations called impossible. The Danyang-Kunshan Grand Bridge stretches 165km. They build in years what takes others decades.
BYD overtook Tesla in 2024. EVs start at $10K. Robotaxis without drivers cruise the streets of 7 cities. Humanoid robots assemble cars, deliver packages, serve coffee.
Shenzhen, a fishing village 40 years ago is now a futuristic skyline of drones, AI and skyscrapers that rivals Manhattan.
Sun and salt in the desert generating power. Wind and waves at sea generating electricity. Maglev trains floating on magnetic rails. Cities built from nothing in a decade.
Meanwhile, resource-rich countries with a fraction of the population sit in darkness, debt, and decay.
So how?
How does a nation of 1.4 billion pull this off while countries with more resources, fewer mouths to feed and centuries of head-start are still stuck?
How do they move this fast, build this big, dream this far?
What are they doing that we aren’t?
@TheAthleticFC Lol they will always want to talk about us….what’s the rubbish you wrote it’s the third time we’ve gone behind under carrick…you’re very stupid.
