stores sell things for selfish purposes. It's really not about the customer. I hate to tell you that because the people you buy things from probably they say, hey this will be good for you. I think you'll be happy if you buy this. If you have this car you're gonna enjoy it. I'm starting to think that's not why they do it. I feel like people don't sell things for your benefit. It's almost like there's some kind of selfish thing they're trying to do. Do they make money somehow by selling you stuff instead of just doing it for your benefit? I'm confused by capitalism.

And in politics too. Because according to John Bolton there are people that we've elected completely unknowingly. We thought we were electing good people but I am shocked there are people in the government who do things in public that are good for the public but not for us. It's not for us. It's for themselves. Bastards.

Well the NBA has a new plan for getting back to games. Two interesting features of this one of course is that they won't have a crowd and it looks like they're looking to pipe in artificial crowd noise, maybe from a video game or something. So this is a real plan. They've got artificial crowd noise and it looks like they're just gonna sample it over top of the game.

Now I am not in favor of that. I would recommend, and I think you could probably do it quickly, an app or some kind of a bot where the people working at home can actually cheer at home. And then if you're watching the game on TV and you go yay, that your yay goes into your phone or whatever device you're using. It gets summed up with all the other people who are chanting and then nobody hears your specific voice. It just gets summed up as crowd noise and presented in real time. Would there be a delay? There might be a lag. That could be a problem because you do need instant instead of noise. I think you could do it without the delay probably. Yeah, or at least without much. So I would like to see real crowd noise from your living rooms summed up into crowd noise. And that would actually be cool.

But if you were at the game and you knew that there was a guy with a button and he was just pushing the cheering button every time there was a basket, how quickly will that bother you? Now it might not bother you because you watch, if you've watched sitcoms forever they have the laugh track and it seems to work. Now Seinfeld famously did not have a laugh track. Did you know that? Seinfeld famously did not have a laugh track. Nor do movies. Back when funny movies were being made, I don't know when the last funny movie was made, but back when movies were funny of course a movie doesn't have a laugh track so you don't need one.

But it's definitely true that it's been tested and for some segments of the population, for some kinds of content, it does seem to help. The scripted half-hour comedies on TV. But those are dying again. So and I think the laugh track might be part of why they were less popular.

Talk about free money. Here's one that Trump did. He was asked about Colin Kaepernick and if he should get his job back. Now you all remember the story. He called the people who were kneeling and disrespecting the flag, in Trump's opinion he thought they were all sons of bitches. Which of course was interpreted as raci
