      <title>Netflix Down, Corporate Greed Up</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>We're back from the dead! Literally, one of us just came back from a funeral. This week we get a closer look as Lake (@LakeMarston) takes us on a trip to a Buddhist funeral. How fun! Tanim (noahxfence) tells us his experience of the pilgrimage Muslims take for hajj and the amount of deaths that occur each year. They also get into how corporations really just care about their own greedy needs and could care less about people as a whole. And speaking of corporations, they dish out how Netflix plummeted this quarter and why that may have happened.</p>
