They have substantial 465 00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:02,760 Speaker 5: out about their ability to continue as a going concern 466 00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:06,760 Speaker 5: within the next year. So they are saying they don't 467 00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:10,720 Speaker 5: have the resources needed to sustain operations. You know, they 468 00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:14,760 Speaker 5: also have emerged from Chapter eleven bankruptcy. They said there's 469 00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:17,040 Speaker 5: a weak demand for domestic leisure travel. 470 00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:19,880 Speaker 9: Yeah, I was just gonna say, when you when you could, 471 00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:22,200 Speaker 9: when you want to fight from here to Miami called 472 00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:25,760 Speaker 9: seventeen dollars, You're not gonna be making that much money. 473 00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:27,720 Speaker 3: But then they charge for everything. 474 00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:30,280 Speaker 5: You charge everything you want to put a you want 475 00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:33,000 Speaker 5: to bring your purse on the plane, hundred dollars. 476 00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:37,080 Speaker 4: Ya Monique us to have this joke, was like, oh, 477 00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:40,000 Speaker 4: they charge you to land. You want to land, Yes, 478 00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:40,800 Speaker 4: the land and bee. 479 00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:43,240 Speaker 3: You gotta pay it now or you're not going to land. 480 00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:46,560 Speaker 9: That is Yaika's jokes so funny. 481 00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:49,840 Speaker 5: All right, make America healthy again, Maha. That is the 482 00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:53,200 Speaker 5: movement that RFK Junior has started. And right now they're 483 00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:57,080 Speaker 5: taking aim at school lunches and what they want to 484 00:18:57,119 --> 00:19:01,760 Speaker 5: do is make sure that there's like no more processed 485 00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:04,960 Speaker 5: foods in school lunches. RFK Junior has said that school 486 00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:08,760 Speaker 5: lunch programs have deteriorated. He talked about ultra process foods 487 00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:13,880 Speaker 5: and school meals and the problem is, as he's saying 488 00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:15,679 Speaker 5: that we need to stop poisoning our kids and make 489 00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:18,000 Speaker 5: sure that Americans are once again the healthiest kids on 490 00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:22,000 Speaker 5: the planet. They're not also providing resources to make that happen. 491 00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:25,280 Speaker 5: As a matter of fact, the US Agricultural Department has 492 00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:28,360 Speaker 5: and did two programs totally one billion dollars that helped 493 00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:32,399 Speaker 5: schools buy food from local pharmas and producers, and the 494 00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:34,920 Speaker 5: USDA is in charge of the nutrition standards for the 495 00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:37,879 Speaker 5: National School Lunch Program. They want them to create these 496 00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:40,320 Speaker 5: healthy and appealing meals, but on very slim budgets as 497 00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:42,879 Speaker 5: they're cutting things, so they're not sure how this is 498 00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:44,160 Speaker 5: potentially going to happen. 499 00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:47,080 Speaker 9: I mean, I'm all about having healthier food in schools, 500 00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:48,520 Speaker 9: but my question is are you going to feed the 501 00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:50,240 Speaker 9: kids for free? Because I don't think kids have to 502 00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:52,600 Speaker 9: pay for school, They have to legally be in school. 503 00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:56,200 Speaker 5: And it's not even just the cost of the food, 504 00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:58,359 Speaker 5: but schools would also have to pay for more employees 505 00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:00,919 Speaker 5: to make the food because it's not going to be 506 00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:03,320 Speaker 5: frozen food that gets heated up. They want you to 507 00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:06,800 Speaker 5: make fresh food that's not processed, and then they also 508 00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:10,800 Speaker 5: would need to acquire equipment to handle making fresh food 509 00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:13,840 Speaker 5: for one hundreds store and every day. So it's a 510 00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:18,480 Speaker 5: great initiative, but not as you're cutting plans with agriculture 511 00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:21,520 Speaker 5: providing fresh food to the schools and also not wanting 512 00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:23,520 Speaker 5: to hire more people to work in the schools to 513 00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:26,960 Speaker 5: make that happen. So just putting that out there, and 514 00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:29,000 Speaker 5: that is you're under the radar. We do have the 515 00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:31,119 Speaker 5: way up mixed.
