The Powerlessness of Air Travel: A Descent into Chaos
As I reflect on my recent flight experience, I am still fuming about the blatant disregard for human decency and comfort that is endemic to the airline industry. The flight was packed with 11 passengers who had opted for basic economy tickets, which meant they were crammed into three rows at the back of the plane like sardines in a can. The result was a scene straight out of a horror movie, with passengers stuck in the cramped and uncomfortable seats while the rest of us got to enjoy our flights in relative luxury.
The airline's decision to dump these passengers in the back of the plane was a clear example of their power and willingness to exploit vulnerable individuals for their own gain. It's a sad state of affairs when airlines can dictate where people sit on a flight, simply because they couldn't afford a more expensive ticket option. And what's worse is that they seem to take great pleasure in watching passengers squirm and get frustrated with the situation.
I must admit, I was initially furious about being forced to sit in one of these cramped seats, but as the flight wore on, something strange happened. The passenger who had been booked into my seat suddenly came to their senses and asked if they could move to a different seat. It was like a collective epiphany, and before long, we were all chatting and laughing together like old friends.
But this experience also made me realize just how powerless we are as travelers in the face of airline rules and regulations. The airlines have such power that they can turn a plane around and arrest someone who refuses to follow their instructions. It's a draconian regime, and one that needs to be challenged.
The COVID-19 pandemic has brought out some interesting trends in the airline industry. On the plus side, it seems that airlines are finally offering products and services that we actually want to buy when we're stuck at home with nothing better to do. Disney+, for example, has launched its streaming service in India for a relatively reasonable price of $20 per year. And let's be honest, who wouldn't want access to all the Disney content they could handle?
But on the other hand, it's also brought out some disturbing trends. The fact that airlines can charge exorbitant prices for basic services like streaming content highlights just how much power and influence they have over us. And in India, where the average income is relatively low, a $20 per year price tag may be out of reach for many people.
Meanwhile, back in the United States, the situation is looking increasingly dire. New York is still on the exponential curve, but thankfully our numbers are relatively low compared to some other parts of the country. However, it's clear that we're not immune from the pandemic, and we need to take the distancing measures seriously if we want to avoid a catastrophic outbreak.
In Kentucky, there have been reports of makeshift hospitals being set up in football fields in an effort to cope with the surge in cases. It's a worrying trend, but also a testament to the ingenuity and determination of local leaders who are trying to find creative solutions to this crisis.
Finally, as we head into the weekend, I'm reminded that social media can be a powerful tool for good or ill. While it's great to see people using Twitter to share updates and resources about the pandemic, it's also clear that some individuals are taking advantage of the situation to spread misinformation and propaganda. As always, let's try to use these platforms responsibly and keep our wits about us.
"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhello today is April 8 and I'm back with the camera and this section is all business andrew is laying down here I was gonna have her come up but she's just looking at me now Oh doesn't she know that she's the star she didn't seem to care when I told her that the commenters really liked her yeah she's just kind of like yeah whatever she's not a celebrity no give her time like say this is all business and weird make some news as usual just because not much is going on and most of them tie back to guess what it's the thing that's controlling our lives we're giving you time stamps this week now the patrons and flow point people they always had them but we didn't put them on YouTube because YouTube is really dumb but you shouldn't say that because if we put them on mondays video or kisses video and I get to monetize we won't put them on this video oh yeah that's right yeah this whole series of videos was supposed to be like a scientific experiment but it's a really poorly constructed remember that time we did Barbie's Dreamhouse I think we're testing too many variables we're like let's test the camera let's test if we get to monetize let's test this it's too much so the business world is mostly revolving around this thing and Amazon is certainly no exception because Amazon is now our like one window to getting some products into our homes and a lot of people are depending on it but you have to think about what about the people in those warehouses that's some close quarters in some cases I was thinking to go off on a little bit of a tangent for a second I was also thinking about Amazon I'd like their original purpose of being a bookstore all the bookstores are shut down is non-essential and so like you know imagine you're that like 62 year old guy 3 years away from retirement with the amazing bookstore this is the community hangout this you know has hung on through all the tough modernization of things and then now it's like everything is shut down but Amazon can still continue to sell books and you can't and it's like and we also think about the delivery drivers who are necessarily always Amazon employees but you know they're still out there on the front line dealing with all this we have a lot of have had a lot of testing positive at those warehouses as well and who speaks for them because for the most part they're not unionized or anything like that in fact Amazon looks very looks down on that quite a bit now some people one guy in particular have spoken out and said hey wait a minute who's protecting us and Amazon had a a very definite response to that you're fired bloomberg reports the firing of the Amazon strike leader draws a state and City scrutiny they literally refer to him as not very smart oh right sorry so the thing they fired him for is the biggest insult it's really the the slap in the face or maybe like rubbing his nose in his own poop is they fired him for violating a quarantine order so he stirred up the peons and said we got a strike against this and they said you've been in you've been exposed go home for 14 days and he came back for the strike and they said no no you're violating quarantine you're done you're out suspicious now as you alluded to divorcing there was some internal memos about this gentleman have come to life Amazon is that called fired worker not smart in leaked memo so it seems pretty clear that he's gonna have an open-and-shut case as far as the like an unemployment review I forget what that is it's like they officially fired it for the whole quarantine thing but this shows that they had a bias against him so they really better make sure they've got their documentation in order as far as everything else goes because it's probably not gonna go well for them although and I hate to be soulless and callous in this way but if this guy succeeded and they're like alright we're done we're not shipping anything how mad would you be hi I wouldn't be mad at first but then after the supplies the way yeah start going to the store like a peon yeah now wouldn't mind if Amazon was like okay every order that you place right now the extra dollar and all those dollars are gonna go to directly to some kind of fund yeah in some manner I would be fine with that yeah but it shut it down entirely it would be terrible so well I think that a lot of the you know of all of the warehouses that have had testing the testing has been very bad which suggests that the workers really should be wearing like full-on hazmat suits because there's just so much stuff in and out of there and it'll survive forever and paper apparently that it's not a good situation for the workers also no I mean those warehouses are running around the clock yeah I've got four shifts and you know the same people working in the same spot different times out of the day so yeah terrible terrible situation and here's the thing about Amazon during you know most businesses are getting crushed by this except grocery stores and Amazon are killing it they are getting way more orders than they can handle so what do you do seasonal hiring now this is no different than what they do during Christmas it's the same thing it's like a initiate the Christmas protocol immediately however the Christmas protocol is not prepared for the thing at all and so the systems that are already bad like you're talking about are way worse during the Christmas protocol Amazon's hiring boom for the thing has applicants packed into job fairs with no special precautions targeting a hundred thousand recruits the company dusted off its holiday season hiring playbook that says that it's weekend making its virtual that's not good that is not six feet yeah no not at all I don't know some of the data some of the data is saying that you know a significant percentage of people are just completely asymptomatic so yeah 33 percent yeah I mean even you I don't know it just could be even more you don't know now the guy that took that picture pointed out that he voiced concern after taking that picture and everybody was like brothers shut up we need these jobs all right there has a mask on her gloves er you don't like it just get out we don't need you that it's a little horrifying and no one knows exactly when it's always a secret although it's usually in July amazon rolls out the big prime day oh it's that holiday that they literally created and made an actual holiday and we're successful at it how much power you guys usually buy stuff on prime day right I haven't the last one or two but there was one prom day where there was something I'd been watching for a long time and the outter then was like hey this thing that you keep loading and looking at is like 33% off and it was like oh man well prom day you know it's it's a big hit I mean if we don't buy stuff a lot of people do and I think they kind of count on that and their annual budget so even though it's still a ways off they've said ah you know what maybe time to rethink that exclusive Amazon to delay their prom date event due to the thing and outlines the cloud risks it's a postponing it's major shopping event prom day until at least August and expects a 100 million dollar hit from excess devices it might now sell at a discount so apparently they ramped up production for something and I've got a whole bunch of devices sitting in a warehouse and yeah that's not good Alexis were what they pointed out but you're supposed to sell them at a discount on prom day yeah you're selling them at a discount of a discount well I noticed you know we reported last week that the Facebook portal device you know like a video conferencing thing has sold out it is still sold out like you can't they're making them as fast as they can and you can just you can't so if they were planning some kind of Alexa videoconferencing feature that might have been you know or they could pivot to that if those Alexis have a camera god it's gonna be just you know we've always talked about the mass acceptance of the spying devices in the home yeah I like how long will it take for that this has just accelerated this straight into the wall on that dark reality yeah great and when it comes to tracking you and watching you Google is certainly at the forefront because you're always carrying that phone in your pocket aren't you and they have that location data and they know where we've all been oh my god they know so much and in their you know benevolence they've said ah you know what we'll share a little bit of knowledge with the government so that they can help Corral you filthy plebs and your dirty diseases Google is publishing location data from 131 countries to show how the lock downs are working for the thing so spoiler alert Italy Italy is on the ball I guess it's very sobering if you live in Italy but California not so much California you receive a grade of an F you fail well there's a website and you can go on there and check out the little dots and how they're moving around for your hometown how exciting it needs to know be rich yeah one of the other companies that has been heavily criticized for their response to this whole crisis is Tesla and of course when we talk about Tesla we also talked about SpaceX because it's the same madman who runs the whole show and we'll start with the SpaceX news he's had another setback SpaceX loses its third starship prototype during a cryogenic test we will see what the data review says in the morning this is what is what he tweeted he also said that it's looking like this may have been a test miss configuration but they'll see so they had done a I guess a regular test at normal temperatures and pressures but once this thing is actually in space it's going to be cold and so that's what they mean by cryogenic test so it failed it felt catastrophic Lee when it was configured for space like conditions in terms of like how cold the material was and it got brittle and just exploded it's funny he said in the morning because the last time when that I pressure test blew up he apparently summoned all the managers to even ones that weren't there for the test to the facility at 3 a.m. to berate them so I guess there's there's a quote in here that's that's pretty uh about the babies yeah go ahead in the future you treat that rocket like it's your baby and you not send it to the test site unless you think your baby's going to be okay and then the article writer writes this baby was not okay not even like babies but if I had one I wouldn't put it through cryogenic testing but if you didn't have a baby to survive cryogenic testing that might be the next evolution just selling oh how are you like a China you want to study this 10 million we're going to make a small cut there why someone just walked by oh no no no we don't have to go he can just put something over the video okay time index what time index was it 12 minutes okay Wow 11:40 yeah okay do it we won't lose any that right I don't we've just covered up cut this part red cut this part but leave that okay just just put censored black bar moving in the back just have a like ruse ahead just pop up over top of it so we have a good picture of you on your toy of course you have a fridge to snack fridge next year ether in other spacex news of course we talked about zoom and the concerns that a lot of people have over its privacy controls the whole end doing encryption thing does it have it no it doesn't not really and SpaceX if you remember is a defense contractor so they're held to a higher standard remember when musk hit that joint on the gyrocompass not happy about that so I think he's taking things a little more serious these days Elon Musk's SpaceX banned zoom over privacy concerns memo not just the aforementioned the fact that it was recording the zoom meetings I mean it didn't it wasn't hiding it but it wasn't exactly putting the front center but also because of the zoom snafu where they accidentally routed some of their traffic through China for mysterious reasons and the fact that some of the encryption was maybe sort of not actually really encryption for reals some sort of homegrown nonsense and then also the fact that they leaked a whole bunch of other stuff I was like you know what maybe we shouldn't use this I'm sure China wouldn't have any or just ending interest in our rocket data I don't care about that kind of thing now musk like I said he had some maybe some tone-deaf responses in the early days of the crisis and I think he was trying to make up for that by sort of you know like being the hero later on but his rescue effort was questioned by some if he claims no it's perfectly fine and it's just the trolls you know must defend sending quote-unquote non-invasive ventilators the hospital saying criticism is from a quote-unquote bot accounts according to Newsweek so I guess the ventilators that we need are the kind that they can just cut a hole in your throat and shove it directly into your trachea no no they don't have to intubate you they can go in okay and but it's like in your lungs so it's like positive negative positive negative now they have CPAP which is continuous and BiPAP which is on-off on-off but not in near lungs hmm so what do you sent them cpap would have been useless BiPAP maybe not for the intensive cases but maybe like if you're just getting a mild that's useful and then the full-on ventilator where if you're serious case an issue that I rent to you with the BiPAP machines is apparently they like aerosol aerosol eyes the vibe yeah I could spread because it's like a scuba equipment weird like jettisons the exhale hmm then it exposes anyone who's in the room so like yeah that seems like that but medical equipment was not designed for that I sort of got down a rabbit hole of of this kind of a thing and apparently a common problem is when you get to that stage like you probably would survive but some of these machines the the phrase that I read was popular lungs like tires so oh yeah cause it's yeah I could doing it all for you yeah apparently you get at some point at some stage and like you're you're basically in recovery but your lungs just give out and then pop like tires and there's no recovery from that I imagine that's bucket calibration here come on you think about the number of people they have to deal with every day and how closely they should be monitoring a situation like that but they've got 50 to do in the next hour well it's apparently a common way that you die so the sidebar over here it says active volcanoes around the world that kid erupted well I think now would be the perfect time for the what is it aldera oh you have to counter if they if the earth was as some people have that theory that the earth is like you know striking back at us that our climate change and if that was true the ultimate combo move would be to hit you with the virus and then hit you with the caldera during growing season No welcome to the great filter everyone so the other thing about Tesla is that they did not give in to the whole like you're not essential thing they're like no but we're Tesla we're gonna keep making cars no matter what and they took a lot of flack for that I think a sheriff and one of the California towns like some a letter and it's like you go home now you are not essential but it seems like what the authorities weren't able to force him to do the market has Tesla is dismissing contractors from its California and Nevada factories sources say so these are not the Tesla employees but the contractors but this still amounts to a layoff they are not getting orders as you might imagine a lot of people buying Tesla's right now let's seem like a heavy expense to take right now well you can't travel yeah other companies are making concessions and I don't know if this is necessarily related to this is avoiding antitrust that's all it is and well I think what's happening is now that we are completely living our lives online people are paying more and more attention to these little problems yeah these things that should have been taken care of a long time ago yeah and so apples like hey let's get in front of this Apple we'll stop taking a cut of some video app purchases made through the app store we've covered this in the past with like Netflix Netflix is one that we talked about in the past where if you buy Netflix through Apple through iTunes then Apple wants a cut of that and Netflix says no we're already sort of razor thin on the margins so we're just throwing money away because a subscription to Netflix that includes the the ability to run on your Apple devices versus a subscription through iTunes the iTunes would have to cost more because we get less money when Apple's involved so I applaud you know what because the whole antitrust thing we're gonna just not do that do it that way anymore so like with Netflix it wasn't Netflix of Disney and somebody else was like three or four other apps anybody that does video and the way they had gotten around this before is they're like no we won't pay it so instead of doing Apple pay basically all the app was was just a login portal yeah and then you did everything on the side it's I'm an apple started blocking that app and then it was like turned into a mess so that's smart that 15% could have eventually cost them a lot more and why penalize your users yeah some people if they're looking at two phones and they're like oh this one doesn't do Netflix yeah the article also points out well aren't dark also mentions integrations with Apple but fails to point out the really amazing thing about that for Apple is that Apple will still make money beyond the dreams of avarice just having integrations so like hey Siri find me some movies on Netflix that meet this criteria Apple gets tons of marketing detail and is able to build a more accurate consumer profile with you and you know Netflix will want to integrate Siri into their application and Apple is going to make a ton of money that way so they don't they don't need the 15% that's all they need it they need all them how are they gonna survive this crisis like Kirsten said now maybe not the time you're planning a lot of large purchases you know with the uncertainty on the horizon but one thing you might think about buying is a new laptop because your whole world is now on the internet right and you're gonna be faced with a choice now you know a lot of people are gonna say it's not much of a choice these days but Intel will remind you that they have blazingly fast cords Fox speeds are just off the charts don't worry about all that other stuff it's the clock speed Intel's tenth generation age series laptop CPUs reach 5.3 gigahertz the ten nine eight ehk its overclockable and yeah I just I don't I can't I can't read this headline without sort of giggling because yeah this is these these it remains to be seen are you saying if they wouldn't like refrigerate the chip to get these numbers that's what it's looking like things are not looking good I mean the the laptops these models just came out we don't have enough benchmarks yet we've got slides like this I really worry about slides like this because it says gaming advantage with the tenth Janet they're talking about their their GPU the Apple a GPU is a little bit weak sauce here I mean I yeah they point out here that the in terms of the CPU clock okay yeah maybe but with the video the onboard video not even close yeah so if you are worried about gaming then that clock speeds it's not the window yeah so we need to actually test these like these models these new CPUs just to see well though if you had discrete graphics what's a lot of those laptops will have yes well even on even on the AMD side there there even though though the AMD built-in Vega GPU is so much better they're still bundling GPUs because at least at the higher end so we need to actually test them but we should point out it's not just the the big I 9 that gets that 5 plus clock speed it's was that I think the high five it to you right down to the iPhone it was a five point 5.0 gigahertz five point one gigahertz for pretty much all the mainstream CPUs and then five point three for the monster cryogenic cooling whatever now based on everything else those are selling for a major discount to AMD right yeah another company that is just raking it in when it comes to the current crisis because hey yeah now we remember we talked about Microsoft and that new guy was like you know what forget the desktop we're going to the cloud everybody was like really is that really the move you want to make well turns out gotta eat some crow here the badness has led to a seven hundred seventy five percent increase in usage of Microsoft Azure cloud services now this is this was published at the time we're filming this this is published a week ago I think it's over eight hundred and twenty five percent now like it's just growing all of these companies that have these mobile work forces that are working from home they're just rolling out all of the azure services a minor increase you would say that's statistical anomaly so yeah that guy is I think he's gonna get a bonus this year small one yeah you know if he survives I think Bill Gates is gonna be able to single-handedly fund the vaccine just on the dividends well some companies unlike Tesla and Amazon have said you know what we're just everybody just go home we're not making stuff right now just shut it all down and oddly enough some of those workers are speaking out and saying hey factories are just doing nothing let's go in there and make emergency equipment we could be doing this right now General Electric workers launched protests and demand to make ventilators G workers who normally Mike Jennings would say hey our facilities are sitting idle why don't we build these and take a while though to like change a whole production line over apparently not we had the story as last week or the week before where it took some manufacturing facility like a week to learn Foxconn did it really quickly yeah it's like oh we're gonna stop making iPhone so now we're gonna make mass and even those smaller companies razor did it oh yeah I've raised a complete GE can do you know ease now the thing I question here is a little more complicated than just like a respirator yeah with the rakin jet engines okay we stood masks I mean hey just masks do they they everybody who's making ventilators or masks and stuff are donating them so these guys expect to get paid if you want a volunteer your time that sounds like a great idea but if you expect to go back to work and get paid for something the company has to donate well the the article points out that the workers were saying we're not striking we're just demonstrating so it's like we'll do whatever the company asks us to do but we are demonstrating to say hey why aren't we doing this but they're not working so of course it's not strike I don't think they're doing anything wrong yeah I mean the board you spend your days making jet engines and then just at home with your dumb family something just let me make a mask and while everybody was busy with other things that big merger finally happened I thought the states pursuing them I guess those yeah it's we're all dropped I guess the states you know got busy with something I don't know what t-mobile officially completes the merger with Sprint and C with yes Brent and CEO John Legere I was mispronounced his name steps down ahead of schedule so he's like you know what I we're in a weird time right now I'm out see you guys can I get that kind of cash those options I'll take those lot of people catch those up a lot of people in Congress catch their options earlier before the public knew anything not salty about that at all oh yeah that that's got to be investigated yeah that is I really the one that sold all of their cruise line stuff before there was any public knowledge conferencing yeah it's just come on I hate to say it but krazee-eyez Cortes maybe the one time in the history of the United States I've agreed with her she's introducing a if you are in the government you do not trade on the market I totally agree with that 100% I think it would be okay if you had an index fund or something that is you know formulaic like that but other than that yeah no no because you could still play that be in a situation like you just it's something somebody else manages it's just like I'm gonna have an index fund if like the top 100 yeah but then they're gonna call that guy no you should be out completely no investments and then that would keep these sociopaths out of the government that's probably true yeah yeah that's how would be a great thing to do we work you know that company that leased out workspaces it's a scam during the biggest work stoppage in history the whole thing is a scam not going well for all we weren't founder misses out on 1 billion a Softbank cancels share buyout face and well the Softbank was like you know we had this agreement that like if things were good with we worked that we would buy the owners stock for like 975 million but you know the the global crisis and blah blah blah those are those are not good but also there's a awful lot of people that were in the company before we came along that are now being investigated as criminals so we're gonna bail and then we were people were like this is a complete surprise and it's like dudes you're being investigated as the criminals you are probably like your alleged criminals it's no wonder this Hopf bank is like you know let's just wait and see how this plays out face is my whole experience of like 20/20 so far they're done they still you know hundreds of millions hundreds of million are just not billionaire anymore so he'll be fine the other people would work maybe not but that was a dumb business and time to very poorly unfortunately so I think anybody he was gonna do a we work office now probably understands it's like just do it from home it works yeah can just do it that way it's so much cheaper we will see a change in construction trends in America where you have a legit home office that's an actual home office room that you go to do your home office things in that would be nice like looking at houses almost none of them have like a dedicated office space oh I have an office and a cat room you planned a pig you should give each of the cats their own bedroom they don't like being apart they get very you know testy when they're separated at all like that I will have that I do not currently have that I wish I could go back in time and tell until past me that hey I need a separate space for this and this because then I wouldn't I wouldn't have to be dealing with the other thing but you also tell past you that you were gonna get a cat against your will probably yes let me give you a long list of warnings here how's the trip cuz the trip still on I don't know well CloudFlare clouds right now we've talked a lot about there was the the UK anti-porn thing remember that mmm-hmm that didn't go too well no then Australia was like we're gonna do the exact same thing and I is that still in the works but it still works yeah so it's gonna turn out the same way and I think you kind of have to do it on a voluntary basis and CloudFlare has a solution I don't think this is gonna work out because kids are almost always more savvy than their parents yeah technology this is easy to change but this is gonna be an amazing thing for practical jokes CloudFlare launches a DMS based parental control service so they've got some new IP addresses that you can plug into your router to use for DNS one is just blocking malware and the other one is blocking malware and adult content so you give you can set up some more elaborate stuff with CloudFlare but this actually could work like if you're savvy enough to configure your your router and configure your router to block other dns servers that's the one-two punch then you might be okay assuming your kids don't know the password to the router now if people annoy you by trying to get you to fix their computer constantly just pop this DNS end yeah and they'll never bother you again yeah also DNS over DNS over HTTP your children can defeat this with DNS over HTTP so yeah well Christie you say they'll bother you as they find the problem but then they have to admit why they're calling you hilarious something's wrong go to Netflix and it seems to be working fine that's that's fine I don't know what you're talking about so interesting and that is free doesn't cost anything obviously so I guess that's good for some people the I you know I've kind of been leaving the Boeing news out of the tech news cuz I guess it's technology definitely but there's just so much of it and it's a constant deluge but this one was too good because of the old trope about have you turned it on and off again like a tired old joke but just in terms of a plane it's so funny yeah Boeing 787s must be turned off and on again every 51 days to prevent misleading data from being shown to pilots this isn't the first time we've covered this but in the Boeing thing because there were some problems with the new 787 s in the Boeing like operational manual they've actually changed the operational manual to just say reboot the phone or good phone reboot the plane every you know every month or so because it may be showing erroneous data on things like your airspeed controller and your altimeter and your you know artificial horizon and it's like those seem like critical systems Boeing do we really mean is it and it's like yeah it just builds up some old data in there and just reboot it it's fine now that's not the engines of the plane it's just the network in the electronic system and they pointed out I never thought about this but it makes sense when they park the plane it has to be cleaned and you know disinfected and everything they just plug it up to external power during that and the internal systems don't stop during that time so interesting it can run for well over 51 days without ever being shut down so now you got to remember to do that yeah but that also means there's definitely bugs there's definitely bugs in the software put like a post-it note on the dash of the plane that's like hey this was restarted on change I mean I'm pretty sure that the IT people could get a ticket like you could just go make a ticket in their ticketing system that it's like here for a regression test simulate 51 days of operational time and then look and see like where the like what stuff's in memory so that you have some idea of what garbage is not being collected and you would actually that would become one of your integration tests yeah but like you say there are bugs but I think with Boeing at this point it's like Starship Troopers it just okay yeah it's the worst possible bugs this isn't really one of the more serious one we talked about this I don't remember if we were talking about this on the news or whatever we were talking about touch screens and cars that was a lunch terrible yeah I hate the touchscreen in my car it's such an awful because you have to look at it and look away from the road whereas a more I'm losing this headphone so quickly I'm more tactile approach you know you get that feedback and it's just such a stupid thing so we got to celebrate Honda for this one Honda bucks the industry trend by removing touchscreen controls that make sense like that they said and I quote things like air conditioners people don't want to control that through a touchscreen because you can't just feel your way around it it's yes Thank You Honda thank you so much thank you yeah it's like oh but it looks so clean just having the one giant touchscreen in the middle of your console is the worst kind of touchscreen Suk's I feel like you have to really mash them to get them to register at such terrible well it's there trying to cut corners everywhere they can to get the cost of the car down without sacrificing performance and certainly a touchscreen is where you can do that plus it has to be you know you don't want to inadvertently brush it and change some integral setting while you drive so I hope that trend picks up and we get rid of the stupid touchscreens now we talked about they've really been vilifying game downloads because they claim that a lot of this congestion we're getting on the Internet which seems to be overblown everything seems fine actually it's coming from those pesky gamers and their downloads not the online gaming which doesn't really use a ton of bandwidth but those downloads so that's just so big and so terrible and some of the you know companies have been trying to make concessions to that valve has come up with one that I think is that really not gonna affect a lot of people I agree with this well to delay some steam auto-updates to preserve bandwidth steam will only auto-update games you've played in the last three days that makes sense I'm okay with this steam spends a lot of time updating games that I really don't care about do you think maybe it's like maybe the Internet's worse and more densely populated areas because like I said I haven't noticed any issues hi there but maybe it's well we had that the map last week if Texas was bad residential Internet in New York is hot garbage for the most part which is like New York City which is surprising like you were thinking would but no it's just yeah it's it's hot garbage for the most well but New York probably has because it's one of those places where people are working around the clock mm-hmm so you probably have a lot of cycling on and off that you don't have now you know cuz everybody's at home but yeah I really don't think we're in too much danger of the whole like overloading things okay because certainly around here I mean it's it's terrible yes but it's enough for everybody to have a little bit and they've already had systems in place to throttle it when they need to because they're evil they can always do that the airlines are definitely you know other aside from the Boeing thing they are having a bad time because people really aren't flying unless they absolutely have to but if you do have to fly you can get some real bargains right now get really good a flight to Orlando is like $13 right now if you're gonna go economy now that's not the nicer ticket if you really want to fly for just the bottom dollar you can buy those cheap tickets and they really want to discourage that they really want to discourage that American Airlines has crammed 11 passengers into three rows at the back of the plane because they only bought basic economy tickets so the plane was completely empty and they made everybody sit at the back of the plane in the crappiest seats because letting them sit anywhere else would have been quote unquote an upgrade now in the middle of the flight they came like I came to their senses and we're like you know what alright fine just sit somewhere else I've been furious ah it sucks because on planes the airlines have such power now because of the whole you know like not a federal marshal thing yeah yeah so you can't really buck them in anyway or they'll just you know turn the plane around and arrest you but I don't know if I could have resisted just getting up and going to another Jesus Christ there's a pandemic what's wrong with you you could have gotten a free retirement from that did you see that where they beat up that doctor who was like no I'm already on the plane you can't make me get off I have a ride of carriage and they were like now get off and he did well and you probably would've got the same situation here yeah because that's ridiculous but people just accepted it I guess they're $12 ticket they're like I'm not gonna make any waves protip if this happens to you just fine just start swinging just pull your shirt off I think the doctor got what he got because he just he didn't defend himself and I just punched the crap out of him until he was unconscious yeah well he wouldn't get up yeah so I think he just sort of like that's the cops that resisting without violence or resisting without something so it's like if you don't actively help me cuff you but you're resisting basically and finally we talked about all the companies that are winning because of this terrible thing because they happen to offer products that when you're sitting at home you want and a big one there is Disney Plus now Disney Plus was already launched in most of the world but one of the biggest markets they hadn't broken into yet and now they are for a really reasonable price Disney debuts his streaming service in India for $20 a year Disney Plus hot star all right I need a VPN that's in India like yesterday I would give Disney 20 bucks a year for all the Disney Plus stuff but that also goes to show you that they could make money at 28 yeah yeah now if you don't want to know but we should point out that the average income in India is real low compared to the US compared to the US before this video yeah so it's not I mean that there is a ratio there but because of that 20 might even be too much for some of those people so you can get another one for it was it eight that doesn't include the Disney content but you get the Indian oh no it's five thirty five dollars and thirty cents yeah so you don't get the American stuff or the international stuff but you still get the Indian stuff and you still get their Sports streaming the Premier League what's their big fans apparently possibly I have read some harrowing reports from some of the poorer parts of India during all this but they're all supposed to be quarantined but like those people are also packed together in the bigger cities that it's almost impossible but have you looked at the curve look they know I'm a girly grabs for that India is not even where we are yet well so with that population if they get to where we are that's gonna be bad you know but weird we're nowhere near the top oh yeah we still like three four weeks of rapid growth before we get to the peak at least at the time we're filming this New York is still on the exponential curve here where we are it's flattening out a bit and our numbers are relatively low but but we're low population yeah I don't think enough people are taking the distancing thing seriously yeah so I don't think we were ever in a ton of danger but mm-hmm ha population like New York yeah it's madness well this have you seen here in Kentucky there in Lexington they've started moving like they've making field hospitals in the football fields yeah the ice Frank is aboard that's yeah yikes do they have enough death to merit that yeah really oh it's getting there it's almost a thousand well the governor said that like the reason they're doing some of this now in Louisville and Lexington is because they don't need it yet but they probably will soon yeah so that's kind of okay did you get to see the in Louisville somebody set up a testing tent oh yeah regular q-tip baby they caught him he didn't even take his gloves yeah brings out the worst all right well we got for Friday Fridays whatever's left which is gonna be robots and social media and nonsense we'll see you there you\n"
