Good morning, Brew Daily Show. I'm Neil Freiman. And I'm Toby Howell. Today, the hottest strategy to turn around your struggling business, just hoard Bitcoin.
Then how is the unstoppable force Nvidia contending with the immovable object of a U.S. trade war? It's Thursday, May 29th. Let's ride.
Someone is finally doing something about people standing up and crowding the aisle right when the plane reaches the gate. That someone is Turkey, who in a Larry David-approved rule said it would slap a fine on passengers who get out of their seats before the plane has stopped taxiing or clog the aisle when it's not their turn to leave the aircraft.
Aviation officials say it's a safety hazard when passengers unbuckle their seatbelts or stand up while the plane is still moving, and it can also delay the disembarking process. Toby, what's next? Finding people who clap when the plane lands?
Obviously could not be more in support of this rule. Nothing grinds my gears like people getting hot under the collar and jumping up to try to make up three rows. Where are you going? There is nowhere to go. It just drives me crazy. But you combine this with American Airlines' tech that triggers a sound if someone scans their boarding pass before their boarding group is called.
And we are finally getting to the point where we are bringing back shame in proper amounts in the airport, in the travel sector. And I love it. Bring shame back. It's a very potent and powerful societal force. So shame the people who get up too early. Shame the early boarders. Shame and financial repercussions. And financial, but mostly the shame. And now a word from our sponsor, LinkedIn.
All right, Neil, trivia time. How many professionals are on LinkedIn? Price is right rules. Nope.
Feel free to go as high as you want. Well, if that's the case, I'm going big. Let's say 300 million. Wow. You nailed it. Really? No.
Multiply that by three and you'd be close. LinkedIn has 1 billion members. And among that group, there are 130 million decision makers and 10 million C-level executives.
