This past week, when I go to The White House on YouTube the featured videos tend to be old videos from 2018 and 2017. It was really convenient to see the content in descending order of newest to oldest. I hope new code wasn't written to make that happen; I hope, too, that YouTube and the internet are not breaking. Because now it is difficult to see the newest videos which used to display them the day of publication, the same day they are posted! I mean that I hope something like code that isn't supposed to be there is not stopping or keeping new videos posted on a certain day to not be accessible to especially people who check The White House on YouTube; because if I hadn't searched by date I wouldn't have found the briefing on August 22nd, for example, since all new videos of that day wouldn't show up on Featured Videos, and Play All Videos led to the videos jumbled not in descending order of newest to oldest like it used to as of last week.

For example also as about three months ago a search of "President Trump" would lead to different results on YouTube where The White House would not be on the top ten results. I also three months ago had searched for Speaker Paul Ryan and his office's YouTube would not show up in the top fifteen results. When I searched for Ralph Nader three months ago his radio hour would not show up in the top twenty results; similar searches for Bernie Sanders or John Kasich or Ron Paul did lead to some CNN stuff on top ten, but mostly lead to "humourous" videos that were not informative.

"Beligerence of South China Sea" is not very straightforward. I hope to discourage jingoistic talk that seems meant to be divisive, and maybe not meant to be racist.

China is actually quite extensively a world leader in cracking down on piracy. Also, there are multivarious specifications for media to be sold in Asian countries. In the Philippines, official movie DVDs used to be sold in thin environmental friendly packaging which is reminiscent of how the Academy ships samples of movies to those who might be voting for the Oscars. In both cases, the distribution is legal, but many were askance in America that they looked "different."

The thesis seemed to be that since it is packaged to look "different" that while it is legitimate and not pirated, they are "cheap" or "illegal" copies. Different countries in different cultures have similar value systems when it comes to competition and relevancy and fair trade, and being environmentally friendly, or having different laws, shouldn't consistently deter American businesses from engaging in trade with their international counterparts, in Asia, Europe, Australia, Canada, Meso through South America, etcetera including Russia.
