The People's Project Season 6 Episode 5: Blackouts, Mass Psychosis, PRGuy17, & Facial Recognition

In this week's episode of The People's Project:

OUT OF JUICE (AGAIN)

The NSW Government tells everyone to stop washing their dishes at night time to keep the electricity running

MORE MINIMUM WAGES!

PM Anthony Albanese gets his wish. After demanding a rise in the minimum wage greater than inflation (5.1%), the Fair Work Commission delivers a rise of 5.2%.

MASS FORMATION PSYCHOSIS

Mattias Desmet releases his book 'The Psychology of Totalitarianism'. Is it a plausible explanation to what the world is going through? How do we explain doctors losing their minds and manifesting extreme anxiety (Dr Greg Kelly's child isolation devices) , or professors flipping data to support pre-decided conclusions (the esteemed Professor Erwin Loh)?

I STAND WITH PRGUY17

Matt explains why he can't abandon his principles when it's convenient (like the pile-on to PRGuy17's unmasking): governmental attacks on anonymity and privacy are a long trend, and virtues like personal responsibility and fortitude in the face of trolls should not be forgotten.

OUR BRAVE NEW WORLD

China stops a protest before it even begins...by flipping citizen's digital health pass from green to red and stranding them with no access to their bank accounts or public transport. Bunnings, The Good Guys and KMart roll out facial recognition in their store entrances, capturing unique faceprints of everyone who enters...all for our safety of course.

NEWS WITHOUT NOTICE

A personal story of a grandmother who laid on the floor of Fountain Gate Shopping Centre (Narre Warren VIC) for 4 hours, unable to move, waiting for an ambulance that never arrived.
