\"Monkey<\/p>\n

Sometimes, I feel like I\u2019m the only person who doesn\u2019t watch YouTube. I only use it to learn how to fix something or keep the dogs I board entertained while I am out. I don\u2019t watch much television in general, but I like scripted programming when I do.<\/p>\n

My kids are the opposite. They\u2019d prefer to watch YouTube over most of the television shows. That\u2019s just a generational difference. My 12-year-old came to me yesterday and said, \u201cYouTube was suggesting something for me that might work on your blog. It was explaining tariffs with bananas.\u201d<\/p>\n

I went to YouTube, did a search, and came across Primate Economics<\/a>. It is a sprawling metropolis of exactly three videos totaling twelve minutes. The channel has a video with a million views and over 300,000 subscribers. Many people spend years making countless hours of videos and never get close to that kind of success.<\/p>\n

Primate Economics explains business concepts using monkeys and bananas. It\u2019s brilliant, and I obviously shouldn\u2019t<\/em> criticize such successful execution, but<\/b> you know I\u2019m going to anyway. First, I\u2019ll present to you the videos. There are a couple of swears and extremely brief portrayals of the current United States President. Again, it is brief and not necessarily negative, but you can understand how politics would need to be mentioned in an explanation of tariffs.<\/p>\n
