It is essential to make sure that all of the equipment is working properly before beginning a project.
It is essential to ensure that all equipment is functioning correctly before starting a project. This video is brought to you by Storyblocks. A couple of weeks ago, the internet was abuzz with a seemingly absurd debate about whether it was a good thing to pay for 1,000 blind people to have cataract surgeries that restored their sight. YouTuber Mr. Beast posted a video in which he paid for the surgery for 1,000 people, and sweetened the deal with bonus prizes like free Teslas and piles of cash.
However, the video was accompanied by controversy. Some accused Mr. Beast of making these individuals dance for their supper, as being willing to appear in his video seemed to be a prerequisite for receiving the surgery. Others accused him of doing good for online clout, and some even went as far as to use this as evidence that Mr. Beast is exhibiting Antichrist tendencies.
The critiques that focus on Mr. Beast and the morality of the video are missing the more interesting point, which is that the video points out the dystopian state of American health care while also showing the ways in which our current system depends on the charity of the ultra wealthy.

Mr. Beast has pulled off charitable stunts before, such as walking around town and giving stacks of money to unhoused people. He has said himself that giving away money on camera makes for the exact type of viral content that will subsequently make him even more money.
Some look at stunts like this and see it as a way for Mr. Beast to gain more clout, but it is still objectively good that these individuals were able to get access to medical treatment that drastically increases their quality of life.
