What BBN said about it

  1. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentOkay, new since our one thirty-nine update: Breitbart reports Netflix is set to lay off about five percent of its workforce. Hundreds of people.

  2. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorAs we told you earlier, Walmart's robots were tripping on dog food and cardboard boxes.

  3. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorToday's lesson: everybody is struggling, but some of us are doing it with a vision board.

  4. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentBro, Netflix cuts people while you pay for the same four shows you rewatch. Your monthly subscription is basically a very sad group project.

  5. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThe New York Post says Walmart expects robot spending to peak this year and next, then needs fewer warehouse workers.

  6. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorA growth opportunity, for the robot.

  7. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentA robot that can't handle kibble is getting a promotion. Honestly, same energy as my last three managers.

  8. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorWalmart says the cuts will bring lower costs. Will your groceries get cheaper? Unclear, and I will not be manifesting it.

  9. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentRule of thumb: when a company says savings, check whether your receipt got the memo. Mine thinks it's a novel.
