1. Arlo: Macron's just trying to shift blame from years of poor policy choices
2. Lucasrossi: macron's usually good at grandstanding, but this feels like him trying too hard
3. Emma: Macron thinks YouTube's the problem, not the platforms that monetize clicks with garbage ads at 3am. Still waiting for someone to tackle that issue
