Will Netflix win the streaming wars?
HBOMax, Disney+, AppleTV+, Netflix, Hulu, Vudu, UA-camTV… These are just SOME of the participants in the so-called streaming war. But the big question for Lou is - will these new services will affect the cost and experience of watching TV?

What's behind all the movie remakes?
Переглядів 32 тис.4 роки тому
Remakes, reboots, and sequels like The Lion King, Top Gun, and Iron Man dominate at the box office… even though critics and audiences prefer original content. This paradox has a simple explanation: the power of nostalgia. Lou looks at the psychology behind our affection for old ideas.

You'll never be rich
Переглядів 68 тис.4 роки тому
Economic mobility - the heart of the American dream - is on the decline in the United States. That means if you’re born rich, you’ll likely stay there. But if you’re born poor, the odds are you’ll struggle to climb the socioeconomic ladder. Lou explains how inequality fosters this self-perpetuating system and what the US could do to level the playing field. SOURCES & FURTHER READING The Pew Cha...

Why aren’t Millennials buying homes?
Переглядів 124 тис.4 роки тому
Homeownership in the US is on the decline. Meanwhile, rental prices are soaring. For many Millennials with student debt, owning a home is a distant reality. So, will the Millennials stuck in the rental market ever break out of it? Is it a big deal if they don’t? And how are Millennials changing what American homes look like? Lou explains.

The DO MORE mindset is ruining the planet
Переглядів 53 тис.4 роки тому
Modern consumer culture is obsessed with MORE. Economic growth is viewed as a universal good. Yet, the way we use the planet’s resources is unsustainable, pushing us towards catastrophes like climate change, food shortages, and drought. In other words, SOMETHING’S GOT TO GIVE. Lou explores the degrowth movement, a trend that calls for a simpler way of life. SOURCES & FURTHER READING Alexander’s...
Do presidential debates matter?
Переглядів 37 тис.4 роки тому
“Debate me, bro” is pretty much an internet slogan now. From Ben Shapiro to Steven Crowder, online debate culture is picking up steam. But on TV, this has existed for decades - in the form of presidential debates. Lou explains some of the most famous debate moments, and why we place so much importance on them.

Should student debt be erased?
Переглядів 51 тис.5 років тому
Senator Elizabeth Warren has a plan to reduce the $1.5 trillion Americans owe in student loan debt. It’s a bold, expensive proposal from the 2020 presidential contender that could jump start the economy and close the racial wealth gap. Yet, the lion’s share of the benefit would go to wealthy Americans. Lou examines the fairness of Warren’s plan. SOURCES & FURTHER READING Warren Medium post on p...
The military is afraid of climate change

The Pentagon is fortifying military bases to withstand things like flooding and wildfire.

Your boss wants you to lose weight

Google’s nap room. Facebook’s onsite laundry. Beme’s Juicero (RIP). Workplace perks and amenities are becoming increasingly common. Wellness programs that encourage healthy lifestyles are particularly prevalent. But new evidence has emerged that they may not make employees healthier, more productive, or cheaper to insure.

Fixing the war on drugs
Переглядів 28 тис.5 років тому
Marijuana crimes have led to over 40 million arrests since Richard Nixon launched the war on drugs in the 1970s. The so-called “collateral consequences” of these arrests can prevent offenders from getting certain jobs, certain public benefits, and even student loans. Now that marijuana is being legalized in places across the country, there’s a growing movement to expunge - or wipe away - these ...

Why does he live here 25 years but he still doesn't speak English?
Syracuse is the home of Syracuse Unviersity. It's most famous Alumni are Dick Clark the host of American Bandstand, Steve Rubell the former Co Owner of Studio 54 and Crown Princess Rajwa of Jordan whose Husband attended Georgetown University.
They nailed this one.
Getting kids to know god in a kid's game is a good way to spread God's words.
Oi!
Late to the party, but if you read this, look up the TV show Person of Interest. Amazing show, deals with all of this.
This is just no way to live.
Why shouldn't felons be allowed to vote when one can run for president and run this country?
Be grateful you don't have to deal with this. It's a vicious cycle of poverty.
I have deleted Facebook a while ago and when I talk to people that are still on it that I haven't talked to in a while it's like a world that you have to be part of in order to get it's like pro wrestling

No matter what A women does, she should always love her child.
this so sad😔🥺😭
Saying you shouldn't have to move it like trying to defy the very laws of science. This is not the first time this has happened to an island, and it would not have been the last. Islands come and go, and nature operates by its laws.
I'm really surprised this is a popular way of shopping. This feels really....old. An old way of shopping. In America, I don't think anyone likes to shop like this.
Whole lotta golden shit please
I like this channel, and I know it's defunct now, but this argument is too complex all around. Many people ARE homeless BECAUSE they are addicts or have mental health issue. It goes both ways. However, I fully support this idea. So much better to just give them homes instead of leaving them on the street.
Bla bla its better than Iraqi WMD BS
China aint world economy no.2 its no.1 now, USA is no.2 sorry 😂
Bri is Silk route version 2.0
Rather than throwing money for wars like Ukraine and Gaza.for military industrial complex
And yet this dead stuff that has no nutritional value is continuing and getting more expensive. Is this PayPal brother?
When I was on Facebook I wanted to buy more clothes,so I can post nice photos, go out more so I can look like I also "have a life", felt crappy about being single, my body, my job... Off Facebook for a few weeks now, those feelings have disappeared, I buy what I want, go out when I want, and have a new found appreciation for my life my job and the people in my life 😍
UA-cam, imho, is definitely violating Freedom of Speech. They have to be stopped (or sued)
Simple dont support or own a self driving car the more we push back against self driving cars the better because myself personally i own a car to drive and enjoy it not to be driven around by the car.
Dredging will allow you to pull the soil erosion back from the ocean and expand the island. It will also create jobs for the islanders.
China build the poor countries 🎉😢
Hey it ladies
4:15 love listening to people who have never done hard drugs talk about things they have never experienced. Like they're just reciting dumb shit they read online.
I live in Canada.
That broke my heart and I know it crushed her heart when her son said I want to stay here 😢. I pray you overcome your trauma and alcoholism. ❤
I recall when the service workers struck at Intel. I watched them picket from the office windows. After that, the workers started to be treated equally, having access to the lunchrooms and treated as regular employees. I speak Spanish, so made friends with many of them. It much better now, and I didn't realize how badly they were treated as contractors and second class citizens before.
theyll thank you later
😢 When little man cried, I cried.. Poor baby 😢
These should be abolished. Children don’t belong in prison.
I hate having emotions b/c why tf am I crying 😭😫🥺
I am not pleased .i thought the babies were in jail .
I am so impressed with this family! I wish I could follow them around and watch them! I just love seeing my people ride there is nothing in the world like it!
Dang I live near here and I didn’t know about this
❤
You can tell the oldest is so disconnected. I’ve had experience with children who have absent parents because my foster sister’s mother was never a good mom (she was alcoholic). She recently passed away and the second oldest child didn’t show any emotion about it because she’s so numb. It’s really sad to see honestly.
you guys should really consider making a googan rod sleeve i would defiantly buy and i think outher would aswell
The "guess how old i am" was so sad ❤❤😭
Awesome
I'm a musician. I used Fakebook to promote my music. After dealing with hundreds of scammers, sex workers, and extortion attempts, for years, I decided to move to a business account to utilizethe auto-reply in messenger. After doing so, I discovered the links I shared of my uploaded music, led others to different videos operated by other people. After opening a complaint, I was banned, but not before I deleted my discography and pictures first. Facebook is a disease.
