The F**ked Up History of LEGO
The LEGO story - the INSANE history of the LEGO company, including how lego was started, the challenges LEGO has faced as the business grew (and nearly went bankrupt), and the situation of LEGO's business empire today in the toy industry. LEGO was born from fire and death, rising from the ashes to become the billion dollar company it is today. On one hand, the story of LEGO is an inspiring story of tenacity, family love, and quality craft. On the other, it’s a tragic tale rife with controversy, feuds, and sorrow. All these things together went into the creation of the company that makes the bricks so many have grown up playing with. But of course, LEGO is so much more than toy bricks - it’s an empire - they have lego world, lego games, lego movies, and so much more. And the story of how that happened is absolutely insane. Welcome to the untold truth of LEGO

The Disturbing Story Of Hugo Boss
Hugo Boss is a luxury fashion brand associated with wealth, elegance, and status - but this fashion icon has done all it can to hide its dark business past from the public eye. This is the story of how Hugo Boss supported Hitler, made the uniforms for the Nazis, and yet somehow re-branded and built a global fashion empire. Welcome to the INSANE story of Hugo Boss & the history of Hugo Boss's luxury fashion business empire. We'll look at: How did Hugo Boss begin? Why is Hugo Boss' history controversial? Did Hugo Boss make nazi uniforms? Why did Joe Lycett change his name to Hugo Boss? Why is Hugo Boss so successful? What business and marketing lessons are there from Hugo Boss? Plus lots more in this business mini movie about the story of Hugo Boss!
The Hugo Boss story all begins when a boy named Hugo Boss was born in Germany in 1885, in Metzingen, who developed an interest in the fashion business from an early age... He wanted to create his own fashion company - and before long managed to turn a small local shop into a whole factory, Hugo Boss' apprenticeship as a merchant made him a great salesman, and before long, the company’s clothing became fairly well known around Germany. However, after World War I Germany had been ordered to pay a huge amount of money in reparations. The debt was set at 132 billion gold marks, the equivalent of about $270 billion US dollars in today’s currency. This began to cripple the German economy. As the US, UK, and France enjoyed extravagant spending on behalf of Germany’s debt, a time known in America as the Roaring 20s, Germany struggled to pay off the war. As a result, German citizens saw high inflation and business closures - and therefore even though Hugo Boss’ clothing had been pretty popular, his company began to suffer. No amount of good reputation could help the fact people were struggling to afford his work. And then, the Great Depression only made Germany’s bleak economic situation even worse - food became scarce, jobs were nowhere to be found, and some families even burnt their money to provide heat during the harsh winters. Hugo tried to save his business, but was forced to lay off most of his work force and shut down his factory. Eventually, he filed for bankruptcy, and all Hugo Boss was left with were 6 sewing machines. It seemed like the Hugo Boss clothing brand would be nothing but a short-lived dream... But of course, we all know that’s not the case - in present day Hugo Boss is a multi-billion dollar clothing empire. So, what happened?

Ponzi: The Financial Idiot Who Scammed the World
The history of the Ponzi scheme, and the story of Charles Ponzi, the financial fraudster who became rich and infamous with his Ponzi scam that claimed people could get rich quick thanks to the arbitrage of IRCs. Ponzi promised very high returns to investors and soon millions of dollars were being invested by those looking to get rich as fast as possible. Imagine doubling your money with an investment in 90 days, and making money with no work. Well, it sounds too good to be true, because it was...
But there was a time when the financial world marvelled at the financial genius of Charles Ponzi, the man who was in charge of one of the most successful business investments in America. He had millions of dollars at his disposal and crowds of people lining up literally begging him to take their money. Little did everyone know that Ponzi’s business was built on nothing but lies. The whole thing was an outrageous scam, one which turned Ponzi into a very rich man, but ruined the lives of thousands of innocent people. Ponzi’s deception was so shocking and infamous that even now, a hundred years later, the scam still shares his name - the Ponzi scheme.

Ibrahim Traore’s Net Worth And Salary: You Won't Believe How Much He Earns.
Though it is not usually made public, African Presidents are usually among the richest in their countries. Most of the time, information about their wealth and how much they own is not available for public information, except when they have spent so much luxury, especially outside their countries, and Western media happens to carry such news. However, the fact is, that most African politicians are very wealthy. In fact, aside from getting power, money is one of the major reasons why they choose to join the politics of the country. And, we all know how they get that wealth. Not just from their salary as government officials but more importantly from bribery and corruption, and diverting public funds for personal use. Despite the economic challenges and myriad of problems faced by the citizens of the country, the politicians in that country, especially the President, never fail to showcase their wealth and luxurious lifestyle. They buy expensive cars even with the ridiculous number of cars they already own, they live in expensive mansions, travel in luxurious private jets, and wear custom-made clothes. It's as if they do not see the high cost of living that is suffered by the masses and neither does it affect them.
This is the way things have been for a long time. In fact, there is a recent example of an African President spending public funds extravagantly, while his people are suffering. This President is none other than Kenya's President William Ruto, who everybody knows is a Western puppet. During his four-day visit to the US, where he betrayed the fight against imperialism, by agreeing to send Kenya police to Haiti, President Ruro hired a royal private jet from Dubai which cost Kenya taxpayers 1.5 million dollars. Can you imagine that? The President felt no qualms about spending this kind of money despite the fact that the economic situation in Kenya has worsened due to the increased taxes, a move directed by the IMF. And guess what? After heavy criticism by Kenyas, President Ruto defended his actions by saying that he is a steward of public resources and it was cheaper to travel on a private jet to the US rather than use Kenya Airways. How can using a private jet that cost 1.5 million dollars cost more than using Kenya’s local Airway?

Sativa vs Indica | What’s Better?
The terms indica and sativa are both widely used and hotly contested. Whether you're new to weed or a long-time cannabis consumer, it's highly likely you've heard about the supposed “body high” of an indica, the “cerebral rush” of a sativa, or the varied effects of a hybrid.
These terms are hard to miss. Browse any well-stocked dispensary shelf and you'll find all types of cannabis strains, or cultivars, featuring one of these three labels. But how helpful are they and when can indica vs sativa be misleading?
If you're ready to learn about the controversy surrounding indica and sativa strains, the origin of these terms, and whether they're still valuable to cannabis consumers, welcome. This is the videoo for you.

China's Plan to invade Taiwan with Soviet jets
China is converting its old fighter jets into attack drones, possibly in view of an invasion of Taiwan. Specifically, these drones are numbered in the 600s, and are based at the PLA bases closer to Taiwan's capital, Taipei, and the island logistical hub, Kaohsiung, making these drones a tangible threat in case of an invasion of Taiwan. For these reasons studying these drones movement can become a useful tool in predicting a possible invasion. In this video we will analyse China's conversion of old Soviet era fighter jets into attack drones and we will try to answer two main questions. How could these drones be used in an invasion of Taiwan? How relevant is that for an invasion of the island?

The Terrifying Sniper Who Owned the Most Chilling Record
The weather was humid and extremely hot, and sniper Carlos Hathcock and his spotter, John Roland Burke, were tired from running around the Vietnamese jungle looking for their next prey. Still, Hathcock remained unfaced.
Peering through his binoculars, the experienced gunman quietly inspected his target, a feared countersniper known as the Cobra that had become his nemesis while fighting against the North Vietnamese.
But Hathcock was confident that Cobra was no better than him. After all, the brave soldier had a 30,000-dollar bounty on his head, the highest ever for an American sniper in Vietnam.
After failing the first attempt, Cobra and Hathcock ran deep into the jungle in a cat-and-mouse game until the two men were within sight of each other.
They then aimed their rifles at each other, and what happened next only cemented the so-called White Feather sniper as a Marine Corps legend…

AWESOME! What would HAPPEN if a YELLOW SCORPION meets an ASIAN WASP?
· The coloring of the Buthus occitanus scorpion is yellowish, darker on the back and lighter on the rest of the body. During the day it usually stays under the stones in the warmest places and goes out to hunt at night, injecting its prey with the poison with its sting.
· The nests of these curious Asian wasps can be made of mud, although they also use a mixture of vegetable fibers that they chew until they create a texture similar to that of paper. Did you know that they hunt bees? But their diet is not only based on these honey workers, they can also eat spiders, butterflies or dragonflies, they are predators since they reach adulthood. The vespa crabro prefers undeveloped sites and usually makes its nests in the hollows of trees, while the orientalis can make them in urbanized buildings and constructions, which makes it a health risk since it attacks when it feels that its nest Is in danger.

The Genius of Coca-Cola's Marketing
How Coca-Cola stole Christmas - the greatest marketing ever? It was the 1920’s and Coca-Cola had a big problem. People mostly thought of their product as a refreshing drink in summer, but sales normally dropped substantially in the winter when it got colder. And this makes sense - who gets in from the snow, feeling freezing cold, and immediately thinks: I want a cold glass of Coke. So Coca-Cola desperately needed a way to improve sales in winter, but just running more ads wasn’t going to be enough to change people’s perceptions of the product - they needed something that would create a deeper long-lasting connection in consumers' minds between Coke and winter. We'll answer questions like: Did coke create Santa? Did Coca-cola change Santa to red and white? And how did Coca-Cola create one of the most powerful brand associations in marketing history, heling Coca-Cola become the billion dollar empire it is today.

Why FedEx Bet Their Entire Company In A Casino
THE INSANE STORY OF FEDEX... FedEx employs well over half a million people worldwide, has a market cap of over $40 billion dollars, and delivers millions of packages every day in countries all over the world. But, in the early 1970’s, this future shipping empire depended on one man, $5,000, and a weekend in Las Vegas. This is the absolutely crazy story of FedEx...
Frederick Wallace Smith, founder of FedEx, did not get off to a good start in life. At the age of four his father passed away, and for the first 10 years of his life, Fred was afflicted with a type of childhood arthritis called Perthes disease that affected his hips, temporarily causing a loss of blood flow and affecting his ability to walk. Thus, Fred was forced to spend his early years in leg braces and use crutches to get around. And Fred faced bullying as a child because of his condition. However by his 10th birthday Fred had overcome this, and he not only was able to walk, but within a few years began to acquire a love for flying - something that would play a pivotal role in his future success. But during high school, Fred started his first small business, The Ardent Record Company, which he founded along with some friends. It started as a small recording studio in a garage, but eventually grew into a larger recording company which actually still operates to this day. However Fred left the company in 1962 to go to Yale University and study economics. In his junior year, Fred wrote a term paper where he proposed a business idea that he said could revolutionize the way goods were transported. Now at the time, packages were shipped throughout the US in the cargo holds of commercial airliners, and thus delivery schedules were at the mercy of the passenger airlines. This meant package delivery times were much slower and less predictable. So for people who had something to send urgently - for example medical supplies or legal documents, surely there had to be a better and faster way?
So Fred’s idea was to buy a fleet of jets, fly in the middle of the night whilst airports weren’t busy with outgoing flights, then sort the packages at one central hub, and deliver the packages from there by truck. Fred believed this idea of carrying small high priority packages at night would mean that companies and individuals could have their packages delivered in just 1 or 2 days, much faster than the current restrictive airline schedule. Fred was excited about his idea and handed in his college paper - however he ended up only getting a C grade from his economics professor, who told him that the idea wasn’t feasible and wouldn’t work. This is the story of how Fred Smith built FedEx, and turned it into a billion dollar shipping empire - whilst the FedEx story is undoubtedly a business success story, it's definitely not your typical business story, as it involves 'investing' (gambling) the company's remaining funds at the casino to try and save the business. Welcome to the crazy company history of FedEx
