0:00.0 | New Year, new me. Nah. I'm fine just the way I am. Doing the things I love. Like enjoying |
0:07.7 | a latte on the bus with some music or on a walk with a friend. My only resolution is |
0:14.8 | to enjoy more of what I love. Like switching up my usual with oat, soy, almond or coconut. |
0:22.0 | All delicious non-dairy alternatives available at Starbucks. For no extra charge. While stocks |
0:27.9 | last subject to availability. We're facing a lot of problems as a nation, record high inflation, |
0:34.2 | rising crime, food shortages, Chinese spy planes and the prospect of World War III. But one issue |
0:42.8 | rises above all those threats and President Biden addressed it last night during the state of the |
0:47.9 | Union. I speak of course about hotel resort fees. My administration is also taking on junk fees. |
0:56.4 | Those hidden surcharge as too many companies use to make you pay more. We're going to ban |
1:01.4 | surprise resort fees that hotels charge on your bill. Those fees can cost you up to $90 |
1:07.8 | at night at hotels that aren't even resorts. And we'll prohibit airlines from charging $50 |

1:34.9 | non-compete agreements with the jobs they take. 30 million. So a cashier at a burger place can't |
1:43.8 | walk across town and take the same job another burger place and make a few bucks more. But not |
1:49.8 | anymore. For Benny knows agreements. So companies have to compete for workers and pay them what |
1:55.2 | they're worth. People can't afford eggs. The cost of eggs rose 60% last year. Much more than that |
2:04.8 | in some places. Joe Biden hasn't fixed any of the things he said he'd fixed. In almost every |
2:09.9 | single case, he's made those problems worse. But hey, he says he's going to try really hard |
2:16.4 | to reduce resort fees and luggage fees and the burden of non-compete clauses in the apparently |
