It takes a lot of time to invest in the first few minutes of a video to decide if to watch it.

Summarize it.

Sell it to us, if you want us to watch it.

Or give us the key points if you want us to get the information whether or not we watch it.

Many of us read way more than we watch because the information density of reading is much higher.

It brings back memories for me, as well.

One of the folks in the video (Jim Peck) put me up for a couple weeks back in 1978, between May 27 and June 12, during my first visit to New York, when I needed a place to stay.

I was too young to participate, but watched the nightly news and saw those images nightly.
The only good thing was that the media cared enough to report the real stories. Today it is either suppressed or reinterpreted to fit a particular narrative

failure. We did well in electing the first black President. I may not have liked him siding up to Wall Street, NSA spying and many other things, but he was part of the Establishment like almost all other politicians at the national level. He was socially beneficial to a great degree and he and Michelle have run the White House with class that we haven't seen in a long time. I am very proud of that and the many great things that he accomplished.

Trump on the other hand would be a complete embarrassment and failure. He is worse than W ever was! He would not only be in over his head since he doesn't know how Washington works, but also would be selling us out at a record pace and blaming it on the ones trying to stop him. The rest of the world is wondering what is wrong with us!
