e place. You say here's the problem. The normal way that empties are taken off is with the same crane I think. Fact-check me on this. The same crane that they use at the ports to do everything else that the cranes do. So the cranes as they're built are sort of multi-purpose for the ports. But suppose you wanted to very quickly develop an engineering solution that would simply take an empty off. T…
← Previous segment →'s a perfect example. So here I am trying to do my own research but you know it's not my full-time job just like it isn't most people's full-time job to research anything and I don't know what's going on still because if there exists and I can see that they do exist these giant forklifts probably they're all being used at the ports themselves but it seems like maybe for a day or two you could at least get a few of them and just outsource them to the farmer's field or wherever.
Yeah redesigned the trucks to be self-emptying. So I just tweeted there is such a device. So there are trucks that are self-unloading. So it looks like they've got some kind of a roller thing so they just dip it down and let it then they drive away slowly and the container just, but I don't think they make those for too many chassis.
Forklifts can't run on soft ground. Good point. Good point. So you need some kind of paved situation. That's a really good point. But they could if it's packed down. They could if it's packed down dirt they could probably. Maybe not too heavy.
All right. Did you hear about Travis Scott? He has this festival called the Astroworld in Houston and apparently the crowd surged. It's not clear why. And eight people died and hundreds were injured and stuff.
And is it my imagination or is the fourth leading cause of death in this country being killed by celebrities? So you got your Alec Baldwin slaying one person this week. You got your NFL players killing people with their automobiles. You got Travis Scott gives a concert and kills eight people. Then you've got all your celebrities who are so thin that is causing a generation of kids to have body image problems and die of eating disorders and suicide.
And here's a question I ask you. So there are several examples of celebrities have killed people just this week. There are three examples of celebrities killing people within the week or two weeks I guess. Now think about your profession. So those of you who are working think about your job. How many people in your job killed anybody in the last two weeks? Let's say you're an accountant. Let's say you scoop ice cream at the Baskin-Robbins. How many ice cream scoopers killed anybody in the last two weeks? Very low number. Very low number.
But how many celebrities killed people? A lot. A lot, right? And it's funny. It's no it's not funny it's tragic of course but it's gotten to the point where it might be the fourth leading cause for anybody over under 30.
You know just stay away from any celebrity related thing. Now I'm not even, just think about how much you could pump up the number killed by celebrities. Think of all the things that celebrities have promoted in public that you should do or not do that probably killed people. Probably a few, right? Depending on your political leanin

gs. If you're of the camp that says abortion is murder then you've got the celebrities you know supporting abortion. So depending on your point of view you'd say well let's chalk up some more to the celebrities. I know celebrities seem very very dangerous is what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. All right, pretty sure that's all I wanted to talk about today. Oh no I would like to remind you at…
