| 0:00.0 | We know that everyone is feeling a little bit of the pinch here in the economy of 2022 or |
| 0:14.9 | the non-economy of 2022, but sad news broke over the weekend that Twitter warned its |
| 0:24.6 | employees that they might not receive only half. I mean, they might not even get half of their |
| 0:31.8 | typical annual bonuses as Twitter grapples with economic uncertainty. Oh, no. Oh, no. Sad news, |
| 0:42.0 | even for Twitter employees. Now, apparently, Twitter executives fear that earnings are dropping |
| 0:49.8 | because online advertisers who supply the majority of Twitter's revenue are worried that the war in |

| 2:14.5 | the wiser, but the reason that it missed the landing strip originally was because the pilots |
| 2:25.7 | were sound asleep. So they added on autopilot and they said, you know, let's take a little nap. What do you |
| 2:34.4 | say? And they put that bad boy on autopilot. And they, the air traffic control was like, |
| 2:49.0 | hey, flight 343, you're not starting to descend toward the airport on your final approach. What's |
| 2:56.6 | going on here? Staying at a cruising altitude of 37,000 feet. And they had multiple attempts |
