“It’s official,” Stephen Green says in jest, “your Roku streaming box is the work of the devil.” Green says the popular streaming service has discovered a way to bombard your pause screen during videos with ads!
Green says the ads are generally a mainstay on free video streaming, but Roku is imposing their will on paid services, too. He explains further and shares his thoughts, along with “Right Angle” colleagues Alonzo Rachel and Scott Ott.
The $20 minimum wage in California is now cemented in law and the consequences are playing out exactly as predicted.
Legislators intended the hike to bring more money to low-wage earners. That was the theory, anyway, but cold reality paints a much more different and tragic picture.
The “Right Angle” crew of Stephen Green, Bill Whittle and Scott Ott discuss the unintended turn of events for a small business owner in Sacramento, who was forced to shut down her business as a direct result of the new minimum wage, a scenario playing out across the state.
An Anthology of Professional Woes video made the rounds recently, lamenting the fact that many Hollywood professionals have been out of work for so long that they are now at the end of their collective ropes.
Bill Whittle asserts that they seem to be asking for some kind of assistance, presumably from the half of the country that they have mocked, denigrated, laughed at and insulted for the last two generations. Says Whittle, “It’s kind of hard to feel sympathy for people who knowingly–usually gleefully–chased half of their audience, and paychecks, away.
Whittle is joined by his “Right Angle” colleagues Stephen Green and Scott Ott, who share their thoughts.
Recently captured deep space images from the James Webb Space Telescope reveal the possibility that light may not have been as well-behaved in the earliest days of the universe as it is today.
To put it simply, Bill Whittle says, light may have been lying to us about the age of the universe. He says if this is true, then instead of a 13-odd-billion-year-old cosmos, it may, in fact, be 26-odd billion years old instead. Whittle is joined by “Right Angle” colleagues Stephen Green and Scott Ott to discuss the revelation.
A chance return to an all-time favorite song, “The Sultans of Swing,” by Dire Straits, got Bill Whittle thinking about the extraordinary life he has led, which also brought him to the realization about the incredible life all of us have led.
“I think about the time I grew up in America, at the time I grew up in, makes me the luckiest guy in the world,” Whittle says. “We are the first generation in history to never be hungry, never be cold and never to be in pain for anything longer for the length of time it took to get you to a hospital,” Whittle said.
Whittle’s “Right Angle” colleagues, Stephen Green and Scott Ott, join in to share their thoughts.
Joe Biden ordered that the U.S. military must now do what Hamas has refused to do, namely build something useful for the Palestinians living in the Gaza Strip.
The “Right Angle” crack team of Bill Whittle, Scott Ott and Stephen Green debate whether the order amounts to fundamental human decency, a very poor way to conduct a siege or a cynical attempt to win back some of the Arab-American vote in Michigan. Or does it even matter anymore? Here’s more.
Stephen Green reports on shocking news of the U.S. military’s woke- training materials. Suffice it to way that they don’t paint a picture of a country worth dying for.
Is this is a move toward a third-world military, whose only real purpose is to protect the junta that pays for it? Green is joined by “Right Angle” colleagues Bill Whittle and Scott to discuss the issue.
Who will save us from Mary Poppins, with its scenes of blackface, mocking the indigenous Hottentots, when the approved dialog should have read, “people will think we’re a bunch of Khoekhoe, the indigenous nomadic pastoralists in South Africa.”
“Thanks to another generation of social-justice warriors, yet another bastion of racism falls,” Bill Whittle says in jest. He says there are no Hottentots to protest the use of the word Hottentot, but there are progressives, people whose lifestyle can best be summed up as “ashamed of nothing and offended by everything.”
Whittle alludes to the odd move by the British to change the film rating on Mary Poppins from its RG universal rating to “parental guidance is suggested,” 60 years after the movie was released and hundreds of years since the world “Hottentot” was in fashion. “Right Angle’s” crack team of Whittle, Scott Ott and Stephen Green share their thoughts.
On Feb. 26, Wendy’s announced a plan to introduce flex pricing, based on demand, at the time of purchase. Within 48 hours of viewing the following “Right Angle” video discussing the corporate move, they reversed their decision.
The “Right Angle” trio of Bill Whittle, Stephen Green and Scott Ott basically dissed the idea as over the top. “It’s really a bad idea, because people don’t see the discount, they see the mark-up,” Whittle said. “People are going to lose their minds over this. The human animal is a savage, especially when it comes to cheeseburgers. We’re this close to being red and tooth and claw.” Here’s more of their critique.
