The Joy Of The Uncommon Updates

January 2, 2024 8:11 AM

Something I haven't seen often with any journalism outfits really, Wendover Productions brings us a bunch of updates in a single video: Everything That's Changed With Nine of Our Most Popular Videos. It's a half-hour of quick summaries plus updates of some of the situations and stories they've covered, and it feels good to know how the stories have progressed since first covered.

The videos they update are:

The Electric Vehicle Charging Problem [2 years ago]
The Failed Logistics Of Russia's Invasion Of Ukraine [1 year ago]
The World's Most Useful Airport [4 years ago]
Why There Are So Many Shortages [2 years ago]
The Little Plane War [6 years ago]
How Rwanda Is Becoming The Singapore Of Africa [4 years ago]
How Africa Is Becoming China's China [5 years ago]
Why Chinese Manufacturing Wins [6 years ago]
Australia's China Problem [4 years ago]

2022's IRA was a nice last hurrah out Biden's Congressional majorities. Clinton & Obama only had 2 years of that, too.

It sometimes feels like MeFi is becoming YouTube Review.

I'm sure you have a "new post" button on your MeFi screen, too.

Good on Wendover for bothering to do an update on these. A lot of explainer videos I've enjoyed have become outdated a bit since they were posted. This is likely not especially lucrative for them but it's good work.
