  • The stock market seems to be showing signs of volatility lately. It's crucial for investors to stay informed and make well-thought-out decisions to navigate these uncertain times.

    "What is Paramount missing?" - "AI"... oooh these guys don't know what they're talking about. Cool.

    On content productions and streaming, clearly a major correction is coming. YouTube is still the constant just on the amount of content available where I am paying for the premium subscription. OR I would go directly to the content maker themselves, such as the performers’ own pay to view website-apps on one offs or serials……for example: Louis CK, the comedian and such….Established performers should do so to maximize net revenue…..Not subscribed to social medias or other streaming…..

    Ed Ludlow kept on saying, "I don't get it". Well, Ed...maybe shouldn't have partied so hard while at Uni.

    I asked Claude why Bloomburg chose 2 British-accent hosts, I got the answer: There could be a few potential reasons why Bloomberg chose British English-speaking hosts for their "Technology" show: Prestige and credibility: The British English accent is sometimes perceived as sounding more authoritative, prestigious or credible, especially when discussing serious topics like technology and business. Bloomberg may have wanted to project an image of expertise. International appeal: Bloomberg is a global media company. Having British hosts could help the show appeal to an international audience beyond just the U.S. market. The British accent is widely recognized around the world. Differentiation: Most American TV personalities do speak American English. Having British hosts helps Bloomberg's show stand out and seem distinct from the typical programming. Individual talent/expertise: The specific hosts may have been hired primarily for their skills and technology/business knowledge rather than their accents per se. As for how average Americans respond to British English speakers on television, attitudes can vary: Some may see it as sophisticated, intelligent or entertaining, especially for certain topics. Others may find very heavy regional British accents hard to understand initially. A few may perceive an unnecessary "foreignness" and prefer broadcasters who speak American English. However, British actors and personalities have had success on American television for decades. As long as the hosts are clear communicators, most viewers likely get accustomed to the accents quickly. The acceptance level depends on the strength of the accents and the open-mindedness of the individual viewers.
