ABOUT US:
We report on the full range of the current economic situation in the Phoenix Area from Gas & Food prices to the current Real Estate situation and present our videos to you in a real life, on the streets format.

OUR MISSION:
Our mission is to present to the viewer of our videos an alternative to economic depression by documenting the current economic crisis and looking at the daily economic negatives straight on and laugh at it. We understand that there is nothing that we the consumer can do to change the current economic situation other than accepting the fact that it is out of our hands and all we can do is make the best of it.

HAVING FUN:
You may from time to time whilst watching our videos find that we sometimes add a touch of humor to our presentations. The reason for the humor is to suggest that in spite of that fact that our current economic crisis is here to stay for a long time, we can still have a good life. The best medicine to fight off negativity in our opinion is a smile and possibly a good laugh. If we fall victim to depression or give in to the negativity then we feel that "They" win. Please accept our spontaneous humor as an attempt to help you the viewer to look at the economy in a different way and to help you feel good about life. Have a nice day!.

People of Arizona --- you may not like to hear this...but this is not a time to enjoy donuts. Its a time to repent. God is very angry with the people of Arizona.

[ArizonaPublic]

@USZombeeKing - Why is God angry with us Arizonans?

[USZombeeKing]

@ArizonaPublic The answer is simple. The people of Arizona have time for everything else, but they have no time for God, no time for a simple prayer. The present crop of new young Arizonans, have a completely God-less lifestyle...weekends are spent hardcore partying, drinking, gambling and all the sinful activities that you can think of. 30 years ago their grandparents would spend weekends with family and Sunday was a day of prayer and church going.

Today's kids have no time for all that.

[ArizonaPublic]

@USZombeeKing - How do you know where I go or don't go on Sunday mornings and Wednesday nights? Well, I can tell you that there is a lot of people that go to Church here. Assuming that ALL Arizonans don't go to Church is preposterous.

[ArizonaPublic]

[wildwelder123]

@USZombeeKing FYI i personally thank GOD everyday ,at every meal and every night for allowing me the privilege of being alive one more day ......go talk your smack somewhere else ..oh and GOD BLESS YOU (you really need his blessings)

True, the credit card machine charges each swipe & we have to pay a certain percentage. That takes away the cost from the donuts. Here in the valley, ppl complain about it a lot saying it's illegal. It's not even our choice to do the fee. How are we gna profit with that right.

[TheNinjaPicker]

Selling to grocery stores and gas stations is a good way to make extra bucks if he is not doing that. Nice guy, I hope he makes it!

[innHD]

Arizona is hot as fuck

[chuc555]

He needs to add something like Ice cream or soda drinks in the summer months

Small business can't compete against a national brand. Also I can only eat so many donuts. Cops will be your steady customers though.
