COVID-19: Explative laden rant that has the ring of truth

The Trump administration in the USA is throwing money at the airline industry.

Thanks to ‘The nice Paul’ who regularly comments on onemileatatime.com, I bring you this video from comedian Vic DiBetetto.

Personally, we here at 2PAXfly.com are entirely comfortable with ‘colourful’ language. But if you have children around, you may prefer to watch this with your headphones/airpods in and your speaker off.

Hope you find this informative and amusing:

The aviation industry has a difficult road ahead when it comes to sustainability. It’s going to require a relative revolution in technology, with ‘electric planes’ or hydrogen planes, or some form of jet engine that doesn’t require a carbon based fuel. And that is going to require the development of an alternative to jet engines probably.

It’s a big ask. It will take time to develop.

This move to home grown and manufactured SAF is a first step – maybe even a baby step in a very long road of innovation. In the long run, US$200 million won’t even touch the sides.

One of capitalism’s strengths is its ability to privatise profit, and socialise debt. Vic has a way of explaining this point that even Trump supporters might get.

Remember this is the situation in the USA, and not Australia. The scale of the airline industry is very different, so the effect of the pandemic is very different too.
