Why Does Congress Suck?In which John Green seeks to explain why the United States congress has become so astonishingly inefficient that it can’t even reach a compromise to avert disaster, and why—thanks to clever redistricting—most congresspeople are now incentivized not to work seriously on policy. Along the way there’s a bit of historical context, a lot of frustration, some screaming, and a celebration of the beginning of the 7th year of the vlogbrothers channel.
I was going to make a Huzzah for Six Great Years video, but then Congress did its thing. And by “its thing,” I mean nothing.

This year at my school seniors got to reserve a parking spot and then they could pay $20 to paint it. They wouldn’t let me put the initialism DFTBA for some reason, but now even people who aren’t familiar with Nerdfighteria will remember to be awesome. DFTBA!

Is College Worth It?
In which John ponders whether a college degree is worth the high tuition, student loans, opportunity cost, and low-paying entry-level positions involved. Is the cost involved worth the returns? Is this even a simple economic question, or are there intangible benefits that come along with education?
Frankly, of all the possible home intruder outcomes, grabbed by the ankle is, like, the best!

Yes- It's further from the sun. It has nothing to do with how far it is from Earth.

Wait, you're telling me that heat is not produced by the Earth? Now, everything is being overturned! Next, you'll tell me that the Earth is not the center of the Universe or that 6^5 is not 4!
