I'm not just skinny. I'm skinny svelte and pretty. Yeah, I mean I think to be American size You're somewhat got to eat like American food man. Man. I'll see that chubby Asian dude over there, man No way. He ain't had a good burger before a New study shows that overweight Asians are seen as more American than skinny Asians in America man David we got to talk about this. Yeah, we got to talk about this scientific study that's going viral right now It's called unexpected gains being overweight buffers Asian Americans from prejudice against foreigners They said that this dynamic Andrew is not true for any other group of people white black or Latino But it is true that essentially overweight Asians get more put in the American category Whereas like skinny skinny Asians get put in the foreigner category and by overweight guys We don't only mean like fat and obese. We're also talking about stocky thick, you know everything in between It's just overweight. It's just your BMI body mass index being over a certain point So we're gonna get into some of the reactions our takeaways as well as our own personal experiences Andrew because growing up you were Considered more skinny and I was considered more stocky. Yeah, so please hit that like button check out other episodes of the hot Pop boys David real quick. Do you see the logic in this? I guess is their logic, you know, this is interesting This is something I have thought a little bit about but obviously I did not go to the point where it's like I did this whole Scientific study about it, but um, yeah, I mean if you look at Psy You know kind of jovial playful big like beef dairy eaters like side They still have bigger hits than BTS at the end of the day and it's certainly way more than G dragon in America Yeah, and I think especially like I mean you can boil it down to Americans Respecting masculinity more if you're thicker bigger even fatter that can be seen as more masculine You're just a viking tradition. Yeah, you're being conquerors and axe-wielding vikings Think about me. You can't get all fat like that eating little bits of soupy rice and fish, right and dried fish flakes Also anecdotally Andrew, there's that new Korean actress from a cocaine bear for example Like she probably wouldn't be accepted as a like gorgeous gorgeous Sexy actor in Asia, but is certainly accepted in America So it goes to show you Andrew America in a most broad-stroke sense Andrew thick boys Asia skinny boys. Yeah Yeah, let's get into the comments someone said yeah I would perceive bigger Asians as more American because there's no way illegal immigrants would be fat They'd be malnourished from the boat ride over. I just wouldn't perceive them to be like big boys. Yeah I mean I think when you think of the typical Immigrant that's new to America. You're thinking of a skinny person now whether it's skinny because of lack of meat For example or lack of like red meat for example, or you're just skinny just because that's the culture out Because they want to be skinner in Asia Literally the beauty standard is to be skinny and in America the beauty standard they still like skinny guys But there's the other side that they also like thick guys lean guys buff guys rip guys even stocky guys in a lot of Communities someone said do you think it's true that it used to be in America?   I mean, I do think there's some truth that To the idea that when everybody's super fat like they tend to look a little bit more like each other like I Know it's because the features don't pop as much. Yeah when you're bigger I've seen like fat like white people smile and they're like cheeks go up because their cheeks go into their eyes So it kind of looks like Asian But yeah, I mean, I guess if Latinos like when it comes to the Latino side if they're indigenous that they are somewhat from a long 23 and me related to Asians a little categorize indigenous Latinos and Asians in the same category I would say to another point Andrew when people get to the age about 80 80 years old people a lot of the races start to look the same as well I've seen some Asian people look like Martin Scorsese or even like the old man from up. Oh Somebody said yeah, the truth is any identities that are more accepted or more widespread in the West such as being buff Being overweight being LGBT will make you seem more American. Yeah I think that like we like the action heroes here are thick I think there's things like football and being a firefighter that are very American Jackson Huh, yeah, he's a fob and he has a fob accent But a lot of people identify his vibe as very yeah, he's like, yeah, I play football Arizona Yeah, I do the greedy after a touchdown.  So you're saying that like he's clearly doing something that people find so rare and so American that that is Able to transcend the fact that he has like broken English Yeah And I think that since the stereotype is that a lot of Asian dudes for example Asian dudes are skinny and slimmer But if you're buffer or stockier or thicker that means you can fit in more with like masculine Americans, yeah I mean like you're stronger So therefore you can do more of the strong man things like you're gonna be able to be seen as a formidable opponent in an arm wrestling match In a football match in a in a whatever if you want to try out for the firefighters You know be do all these very American things. No, I actually think about it when I think about it in my past There's definitely some personal anecdotes to support this and we're gonna get to those after we get through the comments Somebody said yay fat Asians. I feel seen we might not be valued in the Asian Asian world But we can be accepted as American in the American world Yeah So, you know what next time that your auntie or your mom is like, oh you're getting so fat. Why you get so fat?  That's what I'm getting. Yeah when they come for us Don't you want me to open up the door and represent the family? Um, I think it's really interesting that this comment brought up the fact that the same thing that makes you more accepted Amongst the American crowd also gets you somewhat ostracized amongst the Asian Asian crowd. Is that is that weird? Yeah, I think it's getting better But yes, obviously at the best standard of beauty and the most popular look is to be super slim and lean and skinny out Yeah in Asia then of course as a bigger Asian You're not as valued over there immediately as far as like looks wise So but now you get to be more excited. I don't know You know, what if it was like man when I'm over up. Yeah when I am in Asia I get joked on and treated like a pariah amongst my family gathering, but when I'm in America I am just one of the boys knocking back a six-pack in the old boy old Birdo beef sticks Yeah, I mean, I think to be American size you somewhat got to eat like American food man Because you you know in America it's like man.  It's not true necessarily I mean, I don't I don't know how fat this guy was but there was definitely a person who got attacked who was like chubby And so I don't think it's like it's not a for sure fire thing But yeah, I think if you're skinny and short you are maybe gonna get like Targeted more or be seen as a easier target. I can see that because if you're skinny and tall It's like oh, well that guy's like a fashion model and then if you skinny and short it's like oh There's just not enough mass.  Yeah, somebody said, you know, I have once I got out of the army I joined law school and in my law firm I just made sure I was the buffest Thickest John Cena Asian guy around and I think that really helped my career break through the bamboo ceiling But I noticed that a lot of guys. They just don't want to do it. Yeah I mean in America they respect masculinity and size and buffness and I think you being like a Buff stocky Asian dude, even if you fill out your blazer and stuff, you know, like really well I think that's still seen as some type of power even if you're not that tall But what do you think about people saying? Man, that's unfair like my skinny white co-worker doesn't need to get buff to break hit the ceiling at his job Why do I need to do that? I refuse. Um, I think that first of all, I think scrawny people of any Color still get picked on by the bigger people in their group. That's just like literally like you're saying even Even in a white collar profession where theoretically that physicality doesn't come into play I mean because it'll be in a lawyer a lot of brain work. I've met a lot of larger white dudes who are bosses I'm not saying they got promoted because they're bigger But maybe them being bigger or you mean being seen as bigger you can handle yourself better You demand more respect obviously if you're Asian and you already suffer from certain stereotypes You also being Asian short and scrawny.  You did some research on the stats because a lot of people we got to understand why is this true? I think anecdotally a lot of people are like, okay. Yeah, I guess this makes sense But what are the stats listen 40% of Americans are obese not just fat This is obese 40% of Americans of all Americans. This is probably above like a 34 35 in the BMI index But obviously not shockingly Asians have the lowest obesity rate out of any American saying of any group in America Asians are the least Statistically obese. Yes 16% are obese. So you're saying if the stereotype is that most Asians are generally leaner or skinnier Then it's and then you're one of the 16% you're being like more American. I don't know.  You wanted to be American so bad You joined the rare 16% of your group to be like us one of us one of us one of us I'm moving on Andrew. We got to get in our takeaways. Oh real quick We got to get to our own personal experience because I would say that this is true that I have witnessed a few times in the streets Randomly or when we're playing basketball Sometimes especially when you were younger and or people would be more willing to try to pick fights with you on the basketball court Then they would be with me even though you are taller than me.  Look at that stability in his Achilles, you know And I'm like, yeah, people think that they can knock me down because I'm leaner, right? Growing up. I hated being called skinny because we we grew up doing a lot of American things playing a lot of sports play We're around a lot of non-Asians. So I was like, I was considered skinny even though for an Asian. I'm not super skinny I'm lean and I've I have a little bit of shape now But I'm saying like I can tell you that I didn't want to be skinny growing up I hated being called that because also in our town.  I'm skinny svelte and pretty I don't know. I think everything depends on your reward system and your group But I think the way out of fishbowl you're in right the fact that I'll do if you Like to do athletic things, you know being skinny is definitely not usually a a advantage unless you're a diver. Yeah Moving on to our final takeaways Andrew My first one is gimmicks like these visual markers and visual imaging ultimately as much as people hate them They're real and I think the bulk of you are like the more American you you'll get considered and that can be beneficial in certain Instances, however Andrew the same thing is true for clothing, right? If I wear a bunch of I'm a Leon Doree And those new balances, you know some Ronnie five joints I'm trying to present myself as a artsy hipster So it's like how hard is it to understand that fashion expression concept, but as a body type Mm-hmm, but I guess it's taboo to talk about Andrew because it's very difficult to change your body type Yeah, David the last point is like what's what's the value in being seen as American? You know, like I do know that obviously we all know a lot of Asians They get hit with the professional foreigner Steer a type of like oh where you from do you speak English? Oh, you're just like you're just like weird man Yeah, like you could say that I guess you know for example white and black people there They have their qualms with each other, but they do consider themselves part of the same Western family Yeah, what you're saying like sometimes skinny Asians don't even get considered part of that whole family dynamic at all Yeah, exactly.  Like we all know guys that grew up with us Andrew that grew up in our town That was mostly white and black people, right? So everybody's trying to play, you know hockey basketball football baseball Everybody's just trying to do these like really murrican things, right? But I noticed that there were some Asian guys that we grew up with that once they found the Asian Asian crowd in college They started growing out the J-pop K-pop hair looking like a final fantasy character wearing like you said, you know Yoji Yamamoto and kind of going into that lane because they found found finally found a tribe that like more accepted them Yeah, I mean people want to fit in anyways guys.

Thank you so much for watching and until next time we out Peace


Today I have the pleasure of speaking with Mark Saxon from Tasman Metals. How are you today, Mark? All right, Tracy, very well. Thank you. Mark, you just recently put out some news about the completion of a magnetic separation plant for the Noracar Heavy Wear Earth Element project. Can you tell us a little bit about this news? Yes, thanks, Tracy. We've just finished a magnetic separation pilot plant, and that was to do a scaled-up test of our beneficiation process, which for Noracar is magnetic separation. So that was a test run in Finland. It was paid for by the European Commission under our Eurair project, and it performed very well. We're very pleased with the results. All right, so in addition to that, there was something that I thought was very interesting in your news release. It said you've managed to take what was previously deemed waste product, a nephaline byproduct, and you found a way to commercialize this. Could you start by explaining to us at Investor Intel and maybe the rest of our audience knows what nephaline is, but give us an understanding of what you have here. This sounds exciting. Yeah, most certainly. It's a little bit different to what most companies are dealing with. And in fact, the Noracar project was first worked by a Swedish mining company, Bulleiden, for nephaline, rather than for air earths. And so it's had quite a long history there. So nephaline is a mineral. It's not a metal. And nephaline will go into the ceramics industry, the glass industry. It can go into cosmetics. It can go into building fillers. It can go into many, many end uses. Europe is a very large market for nephaline. And when you think of roof tiles and bricks, and when you think of Italian ceramics or Spanish ceramics, all of that is using nephaline. And so it's a very large market. For the rocket Noracar, about 65% of the material in the ground is in fact nephaline. And under our PFS, we had to deal with that as a waste product, because we didn't have our products worked out. The work we're doing now is to get the nephaline into some end markets. And so we can understand the value of that in particular, but also understand the environmental benefit it can have as well, because it is using our waste material. And we've got the aim there to have a very low waste mine or even a zero waste mine, if possible. So if we could just go back to the results, though, it seemed to be based on your comments in the news release that you were very pleased with the results. I think you said that it mirrors the bench scale test work. Can you tell us a little bit more about what this actually means? When we've done our bench scale test work, we have used a whole range of machines in order to see what performs the best. The pilot plant that was available to us under the EU Rare program that we could use for free was not the best equipment that is available and is not the equipment that has performed best for us, however it still works very well. The thing that was very pleasing was that our bench scale work matched our pilot plant work, and really that shows that the processes can be scaled up. When we do our final test work, it will be done with the optimized machinery and we'll see higher recoveries. But we achieved almost 80% recovery with a non-optimized machinery and we're very pleased with that. And of course, I think I just want to draw attention to this research partner. Can you tell us a little bit more about how you facilitated this because it seems like a real win-win for both sides? Yeah, sure. The EU Rare project in Europe is an ongoing project and it's been running for three years. I believe it's got one year to go. It's been funded with 10 million euros and its aim is to reduce the risk of rare earth metals inside of Europe. So certainly quite a bit of our work is done under that program. We've done quite a bit of large-scale drilling. We've done this beneficiation plant. And we're now moving on to some hydro metallurgy work under the EU Rare project that will be funded again by the European Commission. Okay, well, I find that very fascinating. I don't know if you've noticed, but we've all been... I've been talking to everybody in the industry about Dudley King's North's recent presentation and the impact of illegal rare earths from China on the overall market and pricing. I'd love to know your comments on this because, Mark, you are one of our leaders in the industry. Yeah, certainly. I follow Dudley's work very closely and he obviously has a very good understanding of the balance of what's consumed versus what's produced. And I certainly believe that there is some missing metal, I suppose, that has to be coming from illegal mining. Certainly, I would have liked to have seen the illegal production be reduced from the market a lot more quickly than it has. I think we're going to have to stay with it for many more years. It's very hard to reduce that amount of material. But I guess it's now up to the customers to say, are they prepared to be part of that supply chain or are they looking for alternative sources and things that are more sustainable both on the business case and also on the environmental case. And that's really up to the customers now. Okay, well, I believe that that was Dudley's recommendation as well is that the customers need to apply more pressures without an understanding of the large impact they're having on rare earths for the entire global market. Now, I noticed that you elected to withdraw your application for a mining lease for your ulcerum. Ulcerum, did I pronounce that properly? Rare earth project? Pleasant access. Can you talk to us a little bit about this? And it sounds to me like it's a reflection of the overall sector presently. Yeah, certainly. I think it was 2013 we put in a mining lease application for our ulcerum project based on having completed a small internal scoping study and showing that it was an interesting project having completed a resource and some drilling. And we decided to go through with a mining lease. However, we had done all the work we had to do for that stage. However, at this stage we need to be submitting more information and more information obviously comes with more cost. And so we have decided rather than incur that cost now, we shall move back to working on our exploration licenses and continue on exploration licenses rather than the mining lease. And obviously it does reflect the market and how difficult it is to raise finance and I guess the long-term view we need to be taking with rare earth metal. It's a very good project. It's got a very simple mineralogy. It benefits you as well. And the flow sheet is very well known for Zeniton monazite that occurs at the site there. But it's not a project we need to rush ahead with, I suppose. Of course, Mark, you have a lot of die-hard fans and shareholders in the industry. I mean, you've been a leader for many years now. Can you tell us what we should anticipate for the new year? Yeah, certainly. All I can say is I hope the new year is not as difficult as the past year. And really, rare earth is not alone. And it's been challenging for every part of the mining sector. And it certainly looks like the Toronto Venture Exchange will be finishing at an all-time low at the end of this year, unfortunately. And so it's been a very difficult time. I think in the rare earth sector now it's a much smaller market. All of the projects that are now being funded do have a chance of success. They won't all be successful, but they're all reasonable projects. So they all do deserve funding now. And hopefully the funding can be attracted for all those projects. And we all need to slow down and we need to be very cautious of our expenditure. And I think in the way that Tasman has done, we have increased the products we can produce on site there. And so we need to get a broader base of revenue, I suppose, in order to support rare earth metals while the price is alone. And then when the industry turns, I think, yeah, there will be three, four or five companies that are very well positioned to take advantage of that. Well, Mark, thank you so much for joining us today. It's a pleasure to get an update. No problem, Tracy. Thanks very much.

Welcome today's session on humans and machines in industry. So we all know that AI and other fourth industrial revolution technologies can improve production targets in manufacturing. That's clear. But they can also either empower the workers in those factories or they can disempower them. And this is what we're going to be focusing on today. For example, exoskeletons have allowed a new class of workers into the warehouse. For example, women who may not have been able to lift those heavy loads without the support of an exoskeleton. But they can also disempower workers as they no longer have the technical expertise which has changed to do their jobs. Likewise, in terms of workers' satisfaction, they can either empower or disempower. They can empower workers who have been helped to keep up their technical expertise and who feel proud of what they're able to do. Or it can disempower workers who feel that they no longer are as competent as the machines that are acting for them. It is, therefore, extremely important to treat questions of both machines and workers on the factory floor. And today's session is part of the World Economic Forum Initiative on Manufacturing. And it's an important topic that they're treating as well. So we're going to do something a little bit different today. We're going to go straight to two factory floors, one in Germany and one in Malaysia. And we're going to hear from workers themselves. So let's start first with the factory floor of Agilent in Germany. We introduced an automatic scheduling system with real-time output simulation connecting to our workforce. This eliminates production scheduling, allowing fast response and quicker decision-making to customer changes, avoiding productivity losses. In the Manufacturing Control Center, these changes enabled us to react quickly to a changing environment. Our AI library combines sensors and standard cameras to help us detect unknown interdependencies. A standardized toolkit means we can implement solutions within weeks. Now we can detect anomalies and respond faster to process and part deviations. AI is a game changer for us, with our pre-trained AI models and open source libraries. We deployed five applications in less than four months, now inspecting 140,000 parts a year. AI-based early prediction of possible outcomes for over 1,000 test parameters helps to manage test complexity. Our intuitive test system detects deviations early. Fast decision-making allows efficient and effective quality control. I started working on the shop floor and later furthered my career through four IR technologies. With this skills, I can find solutions using process automation and AI. OK, thank you for that fly-through of your factory floor. I'd like to ask you a couple of questions about what you've just shown us. Sven, can you tell us more about the digital journey that the factory traversed to come to where it is today? Absolutely. And a warm welcome from Agilent to Davos and the community. Well, Justine, in our manufacturing digital journey, we've embraced a transformative approach where we're integrating AI and robotics, not just to enable production targets, but to augment our workforce in order to enhancing efficiency and creativity. Our focus has been on developing a collaborative environment where machines handle repetitive tasks, empowering our people to engage in more fulfilling and innovative roles, such as smart factory developer, manufacturing execution systems engineers, or data engineers, and data analysts. Ethically, we're mindful of the importance of putting people at the center of the transformation. We're dedicated to upscaling our workforce and building a culture that supports diversity, encourage creativity, and build trust. This ensures worker satisfaction. In essence, our manufacturing digital journey is more than just technology adoption. It's about creating a future ready, ethically responsible, and sustainable manufacturing ecosystem that creates synergies between human creativity and machine precision for our people. That's great. Thank you, Sven. Sudarsana, can you tell us more about the interaction that you mentioned in the video between order fulfillment and your R&D team? Absolutely. And thank you for the question because I think this is an absolutely critical collaboration. And why is it critical? Well, because ultimately it's going to create and is creating new ways of working to ensure that we have the digital lab of the future. Because ultimately, where our development teams drive the cutting-edge technology, order fulfillment drives that towards real-world application through scalability. And so, this team not only works towards accelerating the innovation, but we're also able to tailor solutions for the life science industry together. And when we do that, we form the unstoppable team and then that enables more meaningful contribution and then ultimately that boosts motivation and job satisfaction. So, it's really important to recognize that our joint efforts ensures that all of these advancements that we're making meets the industry's practical needs. So, I view that synergy between our manufacturing and our R&D teams to be crucial for digitizing our industry because ultimately we're leveraging each team's strengths to drive the innovation, efficiency, and reliability. And so, I see it more than just two collaborating functions. We actually have a unified vision and ultimately that's what's gonna drive the digital evolution in life sciences. That's great, thank you. And Julia, you started out working on the shop floor, if I understand correctly. Can you talk about your journey from the shop floor to bringing together AI and automation? What kind of upskilling in fourth industrial revolution technologies you engaged in and how that's changed your career? Yes, I started as a production operator after middle school. I was always fascinated by the shop floor. My journey took a turn when I learned about digital tools and automation. This was more than carrier advancement. It was about feeding my interest and passion for innovation. Engaging with AI technologies really changed my job. I went from observing machines on the shop floor to integrating cutting-edge solutions into our process. It's a thrilling experience to see my ideas improve our work and deliver results. Upskilling has not only propelled my career but also boosted my confidence. You can change your career no matter where it starts. That's lovely, thank you. And Gabriel, we've heard some pretty exciting things here but this is not necessarily an easy task to convey to the workforce. How do you bring the workforce along with you on this digital journey? Yeah, that's really a key element, right? So effective change management in our digital transformation journey really relies on three key pillars. Our internal school of digitalization, digital champions and a vibrant digital ecosystem. Our school of digital innovation provides a tailored, immersive learning to our employees, helping to shape a mindset that's open to the digital possibilities and the innovation. Our digital champions, they play a critical role as change agents. They are not just the tech-savvy individuals but also passionate about guiding their peers through this digital shift, making the transition to digital thinking more relatable and achievable. And lastly, our digital ecosystem facilitates networking, offers access to subject matter experts and exchange of solutions. It's about creating a community where digital knowledge and innovative ideas are shared freely. That's great. That community aspect of things I think is essential. And in that context, I'd really like to thank you all for showing us how you work and for sharing Agilent's path till today and clearly into the future. Thank you. So I'm next going to welcome Christine Bastion from Western Digital. And I think we're gonna say goodbye to you. There we go. And say hello to Malaysia. Thank you for joining us. I know there's a considerable time difference so thank you for being here with us. Christine is the Chief People and Sustainability Officer for Western Digital. She's gonna show us around their shop floor and she's gonna speak with their workers to explain how their journey has happened to bring us to today. Thank you, Christine. Please join me. And I'll leave you here. It's my privilege to be here today representing Western Digital and speaking to all of you about the workforce and manufacturing. And while we'll obviously be talking about the tech that powers these advances, it would be short-sighted if we did not also discuss what it means to truly empower a workforce with these new technologies. Advances in AI, machine learning, cloud computing, internet of things, big data and analytics are all accelerating the fourth industrial revolution. These monumental shifts will touch every industry and they will undoubtedly have a profound impact on the future of manufacturing. But how do we ensure that we're implementing tech that helps companies achieve operational efficiency but also are designing solutions around the human experience at work and that we're unleashing new technologies in a more responsible and inherently inclusive and equitable way? It's from this place that we can start to re-establish trust with our people. Our digitally enabled world has disrupted the opportunity for those serendipitous interactions and the organic communities that are born out of our social exchanges have been completely disrupted. And we see that trust is being further eroded as companies begin to implement technologies like AI with employees viewing these as technological gains for our companies that will come at their expense. It's our aim to cultivate an augmented workforce who delivers business value through improved job satisfaction and more meaningful work. To demonstrate how we're using the technology to revolutionize the way that we work in our factories, I want to take you to one of our manufacturing facilities in Penang, Malaysia. This facility is the first global lighthouse in Malaysia and the first sustainability lighthouse in Asia. I am pleased to be joined by Kail Bak who has been at the forefront, leading the transformation of our factories at Western Digital. Hello, Kail. Hello, Christine. It is great to be coming to your live from Penang. At the Penang factory, you really charted what we call lights out. Can you explain what that means and what drove you? Sure, Christine. Lights out is all about slim lining the shop floor with minimal human involvement such that you can run manufacturing in the dark like this. So in the past, we heavily rely on labor intensive, manual process, manual setup, manual process control and operators moving work-in-progress material around. So to transform that, we embrace the Ford Industrial Revolution, big technologies like robotics, artificial intelligence, internet of sensors, internet of things sensors, machine learning and machine integration to name a few. So it all began with identifying the main problem in manufacturing, repetitive quality problem and non-optimum operational performance. So I question, which tasks often mundane and repetitive could be done more efficiently by robotic automation? Our goal is to find a sustainable, scalable, that bring consistency, predictability and optimized performance. As a result of our lights out approach, we reduce factory costs by 32%, decrease manufacturing lead time by 50% and increase employee productivity by a whopping 360%. Wow, that is a great segue KL into my next question for you. So a common refrain is that machines will replace people, when in fact we very much still need people, but we need them in new and different roles. So how are we upskilling and re-skilling our employees? Thanks, Christine. Two people are the heart of any operation. Our workforce development program is something that I'm proud of because it gives everyone a chance to progress in their career. We provide upskilling and re-skilling opportunities full on job training, technical classes, gamification workshop and partnering with universities and colleges. As a result of that, nearly half of our staff has undergone upskilling with no job losses. So we believe in promoting our people from within, moving them up from operators to technician and then from technician to engineers, making them a full-fledged knowledge worker. Thank you, KL. It really is about giving people an opportunity for more meaningful work and upward mobility. Now that we have seen the technology work, let's give you all of you into how our people work in this environment. Let's go to the control room with Jackie Jung, who is responsible for our four IR technologies and corporate sustainability. Hi, Jackie. To start, I wanna understand what drove you to relentlessly pursue the transformation of our manufacturing practices and ultimately the global lighthouses at five of our factories. Thank you, Christine. Leading the transformation from the inception, there's always this lingering question about, well, how do we know what good looks like? So it was my passion to benchmark and understand our progress on a global stage. I found World Economic Forum's Lighthouse Network an excellent platform. I know that by undertaking four IR transformation could help us achieve three strategic objectives. First, it enable operational efficiency that ultimately translate to the profitability of the company. And second, we could improve the quality of the work of our people by eliminating Monday and repetitive tasks, give them more value at work. And finally, implementing innovation, making sure that the employee were part of the transformation will make them feel proud for the company they work for. I stationed in a field factory for many years. Bringing that value to the people whom I work hand in hand with is very important for me. Thank you, Jackie, for taking that initiative and having the foresight to recognize that opportunity to revolutionize our manufacturing for the betterment of the company and our employees. I know that you're joined by some of our operators and engineers today. They will tell us more about how they use the technology and their role. Yes, I'm very excited to be joined here by Rafi, one of our operator here. Hello, Rafi. Hello, Jackie. Could you tell us how your job has evolved ever since we implemented LICE-OUT? Sure, Jackie. So in the past, I had to handle repetitive tasks, manually, and stationed on the production line to respond to mission alarm one at a time. But now, I can assess mission around. I can assess mission remotely from my station and quickly addressing alarm without moving around. If I can't feel an issue, I can alert the technician via the smart wash for troubleshooting. This setup allows me to work much more efficiently. Well, that's great. So your job has changed from the factory floor to the control room here. How has it changed your view about your job opportunity and prospect? So what I value the most is that I have a new set of skills that I did not have before that I can continue to build upon. Each skill that I have learned have paved the way for my continuous growth and advancement in my career. That's excellent. Thank you, Rafi. Now, let's talk to Charles, one of our engineer here. Hi, Charles. Hello, Jackie. Well, I see three stations, control room stations, two of them with chairs, with operator working on them. Well, this one, I see screens moving, no chair, no operator. So what's happening here? Certainly, Jackie. Allow me to explain. With this station, we've incorporated AI to work smoothly behind the scene. The AI algorithm effectively deal with the common errors by automatically suggesting troubleshooting steps and operational procedure for the machines. And this algorithm keep learning from real-time challenges addressed by our control room stuff like this ICS operator behind. You know, Jackie, I'm really excited about learning and implementing new technologies that can significantly boost the intelligence and efficiency of our operations. Well, I can really see your excitement here. I'm so thrilled. Well, Christine, you can see that we have architected a very broad-based transformation to positively impact employees at all levels, the operator, technician, engineers, and management like us. We have created the capacity to work remotely and intelligently, which enhances operational flexibility, mitigate errors, and foster a less stressful work environment. It also created space for growth and innovation so that we can unleash the full potential of all of our employees. And this is how we scale to the entire company. Thank you, Jackie, Kayelle, Rafi, and Charles. As I wrap up, I will leave you all with this. Just by the nature of being in this room, we are all endowed with a certain amount of privilege that we have a responsibility to create positive and sustainable change. And if we continue to implement advanced technologies like the ones that we've talked about today, it demonstrates an ever-growing need to marry our technology and people planning so that we continue to operate on the edge of innovation and grow our businesses while making sure that people are at the center of everything we do. That's lovely, and it's lovely to talk to you in Penang. I do have one question. So my own research is on building AI systems that collaborate with people rather than replacing them. And I know from the organizational psychology literature that one thing that we can lose or that I would worry about losing in a factory that's called Lights Out is the social bond between workers because research shows that social bonds both improve satisfaction and performance on the job. So have you lost those bonds between workers? And if not, what do you do about that? And I'll ask Jackie, I guess, thank you. Thank you. I'm sure. Thank you, Justine. You have a very insightful point and also understand our challenge here. We have here implemented a multi-dimensional approach by creating physical spaces and implementing structure mechanism, also nurturing collaborative projects and recognizing employees' contribution. So let me explain a little bit more. First, we create a dedicated space. We call it the Agile Studio. This serves as a big hub that employee across different shifts to collaborate, to innovate and undergo training. Then we establish a structure mechanism to facilitate cross-shift collaborations. Operators, technicians, engineer, and supervisor, they have the opportunity to convene, self-assemble, and collectively work on projects relevant to their respective areas. This could be addressing a productivity problem, a cost challenge, quality issues, you name it. We actively nurture these projects by providing necessary resources and recognitions. The completed project will be showcased to a broader team on a quarterly basis for awareness and broad implementation. Thank you so much, Jackie, for this. This is revealing and very impressive. So thank you for joining us from Penang. It's striking to me that both factories are working on fault detection, which is an important system or an important problem that we've worked on using AI systems. But in fault detection, you can also think about human workforce as a human detection system. How do we ensure that humans remain at the center of the workforce as they are at the center of the society that uses those tools? And you've shown us some impressive ways that you've addressed that, but I'd like to hear from the rest of you if you have examples from your own work or other comments that you'd like to make on what we've seen today. Please. So this whole question of replace versus augment. I mean, there weren't a lot of people on that factory floor, you know? So it's hard to say people at the center of it, if you can't see them. So I think it's one of those questions. And I guess what we've found out is there are use cases where the objective is absolutely people reduction. And it's good to be honest about that. And then there are other ones where it's about expanding the capacity to grow. And you can be honest about using AI to, you know, if it's difficult to get talent and you can have combinations of humans and AI's that have the ability to have five times the productivity, for example. But I found it's like when the language isn't honest about it, it actually destroys the trust, you know? So it's very difficult to say people at the center of it when you actually don't see any people on the floor. I'm sorry. No, people at the center is an important point. And trust is essential to all of this. We lose worker trust, we lose our workforce, and we lose who we work for. I think that's absolutely true. You talked about being honest about losing people and also upskilling. And those two, you've acted as if we lose a part of the workforce, we upskill part of the workforce. But in fact, AI tools are helping many factories engage in that upskilling. So I think it was Jackie who talked about gamification of upskilling. So AI tools can do on demand educational opportunities, for example. But I absolutely agree that trust has to be kept central. Other comments. I think these are excellent examples of what's being done today. And I'd like to know just from a show of hands how many of you are actually involved in manufacturing, period. Great, and how many of you are involved in moving your manufacturing processes towards the future? Let's just make that more specific because everyone's moving towards the future. We don't really have any choice. How many of you are engaged in using AI and other Fourth Industrial Revolution tools to move manufacturing forward?  What are you doing? Excuse me, I have chocolate. That's great, yeah. Other examples, both of successes and problems that you're struggling with. You're a very happy and satisfied group of people, I have to say. Either that or you came straight from lunch and you're hitting your downtime. So I thank you all for joining and for your comments. And I hope you'll continue this conversation. I was remiss in not mentioning the fact that this is an initiative of the advanced manufacturing and supply chain center of the World Economic Forum and that they are benefiting from the work of the initiative on transforming the workforce of the future, so manufacturing the workforce of the future. Thank you so much. I wish you an excellent, both happy and successful rest of the day in Davos and rest of the week. Thank you for joining us.


The toilet is the only place in your home when you can literally look inside of your distribution system, right? Short of gutting your bathroom and cutting the pipes apart and doing this. It's for us as a company and for us as salespeople going into the home, it's a perfect example to look in and see what's in your water visually. One of the things is definitely iron. Iron's attributes are red staining, light orange staining, depending on its severity. Iron can build up on the inside of that tank. There's also different types of iron. So if there's a bacterial quality to the water, you may notice that you actually have a slime built up over top of all the sites. Which is worse. Which is a whole other ball game over iron. It's definitely a different method of treatment. It's a little more involved and may require, and may require something other than salt, like a softener. It may require some chemicals to be involved to help treat that water. So a simple trick for everyone is just to pull the lid off to take your toilet. Take a look. If it doesn't look clean, you probably have a water problem. And should have it checked. Correct. Especially if you have kids. I mean, we worry about our kids, but don't seem to worry about ourselves, but... Well, any filtration equipment or anything that you had in your home prior to us coming in wasn't even your water for your particular washer. Mike wasn't even going through that. So anything that was in that well that may or could have been in that well. Was right.  So yeah, I mean... I was gargling with my shower. You know, you're fortunate in a way that, you know, you didn't have a terrible source from a bacterial perspective or from a, you know, something of a pathogen. But, you know, it could have definitely, you know, been a lot worse. A coli. Yeah. Parasites. What else? Coliform is another form of bacteria. Who? Sorry? Coliform. Coliform? Yep. Coliform is one of the tests that is included in a bacterial sample. So they test for coliform and E. coli. Coliform being an indicator bacteria can indicate that there could be an improper seal in the well, an improper cap, a leak in infiltration somewhere, or contamination within the aquifer itself. But it's an indication you should look further into your water source.

With the Great Gilder Sleeve, it's the morning before Thanksgiving. There's a white blanket on the ground, a brown turkey in the oven, and our Rotan water commissioner is in a holiday mood. Up in Adam Leroy, time for breakfast. Okay, I'll go ahead. Time and untied shoelaces wait for no man. Well, not bad before breakfast. Uncle Mort? Yes, Marjorie? Uncle Mort, just look at my hair. My goodness, is that your hair? What happened to it? I shampooed it and there isn't enough water to rinse the soap out. Oh, well, I have noticed the pressure's down a little. I wanted to look pretty for the Thanksgiving game tomorrow. What's wrong with the pressure? Yeah, it was so low last night, I couldn't even... Leroy, let's not say that like it's the only thing you have to be thankful for. Well, you just have to do something about it, Unkie. I'll call Charlie Anderson at the reservoir as soon as I get to the office. But the soap's drying. How will I wash it out? Why do you want to wash the soap out, Marjorie? It looks better all good up. Hey, I'll look into it, my dear. Nobody seems to realize how busy I've been lately, engaged to Adeline and Lila at the same time, and trying to get disengaged from Lila. I've been a busy man. I'll say. Leroy, your opinion has not been solicited. Okay. Water pressure's pretty bad, though, Unk. I don't want to hear any more about it from anybody. Uh, pass the toast. Sure. Morning, Bertie. How are you this morning? I'm okay, but the water's sure low. Oh, my goodness. Yes, and with all this cooking for Thanksgiving, we need a lot of water. I know, Bertie. You sure saw enough things in the kitchen? I understand that, Bertie. I turned on the faucet full force this morning. All I got was trickle, trickle, trickle. I'll take good care of it, Bertie. Believe me. That's good. Well, yesterday I got a big trickle. Today just a little trickle. Who knows what kind of trickle I'm gonna get tomorrow? Yeah, just leave everything to me, Bertie, and don't worry. Oh, I ain't gonna worry. I'm working for the water commission. It'd be silly to worry about water. Well, I'm glad that settled. You sure saw enough things in the kitchen? Sounds like a complaint. These things should be handled through the office, not at the breakfast table. Hey, Unk, it's Thanksgiving vacation. Can I go down to the office with you? Leroy, why do you want to go down to the office? Oh, gosh, Craig's got a cold and Piggy's got the measles. I don't have anybody healthy to play with. Leroy, the pressure's down and I'm gonna be busy. Well, that's why I want to go. I wasn't a little kid going to learn anything if he doesn't learn it from his uncle. What? I want to see how you handle those big problems. Well, it is something to see. Sure, like you say, it's time I knew how to do things. I'm not gonna be in school forever. I wouldn't be too sure about that, Leroy. Well, I guess you can come along. Oh, boy. Let me come to the office, Unk. You won't enjoy it, Leroy. People will be calling me all morning to ask about the water. What makes water pressure go up and down, Unk? Well, Leroy, it could be any one of a number of things. Like what? Well, perhaps the snifter valve isn't working or something. What does a snifter valve do? What does it do? Well, that's sort of top drawer information, Leroy.  Gosh, you have to know a lot to be a water commissioner, don't you, Unk? Well, you can't be a dunderhead. Door's locked. Where is that Bessie? What a secretary. Can't even remember to come to work.  Oh, yes. Bessie's going over the river and through the woods to her grandmother's house for Thanksgiving. It's going to be the newspaper, Leroy. Those letters with those little windows don't look very important from here. Here you are. Guess it won't do any harm. Gee, thanks, Unk. And let me know if you want me to take a letter, Mr. Commissioner Gildersleeve. I'll be right in with my pad and pencil. Just answer the phone, my boy. If there are any complaints, tell them I'll call them back. Who came in? Oh, the judge. Hello, Gildy. Greetings of the season. Hello, Judge. And Leroy, felicitations. Hi. Care to have a chair, Judge? I'm Bessie this morning. Thank you, Leroy. You make a very handsome Bessie. Oh, brother. And now, if you don't mind, Bessie, I'd like to have a word with the commissioner about the water situation. You too, Hooker. Leroy, step into the outer office. Oh, for corn's sake. Leroy? Well, Unk, I'm your secretary. I get to hear these things like Bessie does. Well, here's a quarter.  Gee, thanks. All right, Leroy. I'm Bessie. Bessie. Look more like Bessie's grandmother. Or the wolf. Close the door, Leroy. Gildy, you seen this morning's paper? What do you mean? Let me read you this editorial. Quote. What has happened to Summerfield's water pressure? Citizens ask Mayor Joe Williger for answer. Citizens, over. Is the slow trickle out of water faucets due to big drip in water department? What? Let me see that. Wait a minute, Gildy. Wait a minute. Look at this cartoon on the next page. It's a picture of you and the mayor. It is? Dressed up like Jack and Jill, carrying a water pail. Give me that paper off. Well, it does look a little like me at that.  What does it say? Jack and Jill are going over the hill if they don't fetch a pail of water. Not very far from the truth, Gildy. Has the mayor called you yet? Well, no. I guess I'd better go see him. I didn't beat him to the punch. I'd do it right away, Gildy, without a moment's delay. Quit rushing me, Horace. Just trying to build a fire under you, Gildy. Now it's up to you to get enough water to put it out. Happy Thanksgiving. Be careful of that gobble hooker. Everybody doesn't have his turkey yet. Charlie Anderson and find out. I always hate to call Charlie when there's trouble. He's such a cantankerous old rooster. Commissioner Gilderslave. Charlie, have you read the paper this morning about the water pressure being down? I don't have to. Charlie, let's show a little respect. What's the matter with the water pressure? We're going. Oh, yes. Storage reservoir. You don't read? No, Charlie. Watch it, Charlie. Let's get on. Shouldn't have called him in the first place. Come to the office with me, Leroy. Everything's gone wrong. This is fun. The water commissioner's figured out a plan already. Don't you worry. You wait here in the mayor's reception room, my boy. Hey, magazines. Just like a dentist's office. They're older, Leroy. To Williger's been in office a long time. Is that you out there, Gilderslave? I drop in for a little chat about things. Who came in with you? A little nephew, Leroy. Oh. Gilderslave, that cartoon this morning's paper was very embarrassing to be. Very embarrassing. Let's not take it too hard, Mr. Mayor. Why? Just look at this, Gilderslave. You were Jack. And me, the mayor, made up like Jill with a dress on. Well, I'm in knee pants. Gilderslave, this is bad publicity. It's so humiliating I'm going to take charge of this water situation myself. Now, Mr. Mayor, that won't be necessary. All I have to do is drive up to the storage reservoir and release more water. That'll take care of the situation. Naturally. Any dunderhead knows that. But it won't answer the press, Gilderslave. We've got to do something spectacular. Something dramatic. Something that will make headlines for the city water department. I could go up there on snowshoes. No, Gilderslave. I have a real slut in mind. And I'm going to handle it personally. But Mr. Mayor, I'm the water commissioner. Yes. Water is my responsibility. And I insist upon meeting my responsibilities. No, Gilderslave. This is quite a daring plan. It calls for a lot of nerve. Well, if there's anything I've got, it's nerve. And I'm willing to do anything for the good of the water department. Very well then, if you insist. I insist. Splendid, spirit, Gilderslave. Under the circumstances, I think you deserve the limelight. Well, that's very nice of you. So you can fly up there in the helicopter. A helicopter? Yes. I've hired one to come over here from the Hub City Airport. You and Charlie Anderson will take off tomorrow morning at 7 for the upper reservoir. But Mr. Mayor, is this trip necessary? I mean, in a helicopter. Oh, they're getting a lot of publicity, Gilderslave. Landing on buildings, delivering mail, doing stunts. Stunts, but Mr. Mayor. Hey, Elkie, you've fallen up in the helicopter. I'm not sure I know much about them. Why, you've seen them, Gilderslave? Those planes with two propellers? Yeah, no wings. No wings? I'm afraid there won't be room, Leroy.  You sure you don't want to reconsider and go up in my place? Now, Gilderslave, the newspapers will make a lot of you flying over the reservoir. You will make a big splash. That's what I'm afraid of. Gilderslave will be back in just a minute. Well, hello, Bertie. Hello, Mr. Wall. Everything all set for Thanksgiving Day dinner? Yes, sir. You want to see how I'm going to fix that turkey? Mm-mm, bet it'll be good. Going to have parquet and biscuits? Sure am. And that turkey? Nice part is, with parquet, you can be sure the spread you use is just as nourishing as it is delicious. And you can use scads of parquet on my mashed potatoes, too. And about that big roast turkey. Sure, parquet is wonderful on potatoes as well as biscuits. After all, it's prepared like a rare luxury food from selected products of American farms. And you can pile it on those potatoes because it costs only about half as much as the most expensive spreads. Mr. Wall, there's something I want to say about basting that turkey. Basting the turkey? Oh, I thought we were talking about tasting parquet. We're talking about good tasting basting, that's what. I'm saying that turkey's going to be good tasting because of the basting I give it with parquet. Oh, I get it. I'm saying it don't make no difference how you use parquet because it tastes so good. Tastes like it should cost twice as much. Well, friends, why not put parquet on your table? That's P-A-R-K-A-Y, the margarine made by Kraft that tastes like it should cost twice as much. Good tasting every which way, basting all biscuits. Let's return to the Great Gilder Sleeve. The man who's never been higher off the ground than when he got a hot foot at the Jolly Boys Club is slated to go up in a helicopter tomorrow morning. No wings, eh? Of course, Marjorie, if you children don't want me to go. What? My first obligation is to my little family, not to the water department. A lot of families feel funny about their breadwinners going up in the air. Oh, I think it's wonderful, Anki. You do.  Anki, don't be silly. We love you dearly. I don't know.  Besides, we want to see your picture in the paper. Oh, yeah, big splash. What's that noise? Sounds like a plane. Didn't think they were flying it over here tomorrow. Let's go out and see it, Anki. Yeah, I guess I better go out and have a look at it. Leroy, don't stand under it. OK. And put that slingshot away.  Look, he's waving down at somebody. Oh, Marjorie, you go inside. Oh, Anki. Uh, breasts show off. The idea. And to think I have to go up with that maniac. What's going on out here, Mr. Giltweave? Just watching the helicopter, Bertie. Hey, who? I'm considering it. You wouldn't catch Bertie stepping into that thing no, sir. Nothing to worry about, Bertie. Looks safe, doesn't it? Safe?  No, Bertie. That's the way it's built. No wings. Now that big propeller hoes it up. Bertie, it's not that flimsy. I don't think. You wouldn't catch Bertie risking her life, limb and pursuit of happiness in that thing no, sir. It's not that bad, Bertie. Mr. Giltweave, what do I do with your turkey dinner if you don't get back? Bertie! It's time to eat it, I mean. Oh, just save me the wings, Bertie. Thanksgiving tomorrow is going to be.  Pee-Vee? Well, hello, Mr. Giltweave. What can I do for you this afternoon? Give me a cigar, Pee-Vee. Your cutchamari brand, El Lobo? No, not today. Give me a Havana. Well, a festive-type cigar.  Big turkey. Mrs. Pee-Vee and I thought we'd stuff a small duck. Oh? We don't particularly care for turkey, so when Thanksgiving comes around, we always duck the turkey. Mm-hmm. Duck. Turkey. That was a little witticism, Mr. Giltweave. That was a very little witticism, Pee-Vee. And I'm in no mood for it. Oh, sorry to hear that, Mr. Giltweave. You do seem a little out of sorts. Care to have a coke on your house? Uh-huh. Thanks, Pee-Vee. Yes, I am a little upset. Excuse me. The mayor wants Charlie Anderson and me to go up in the hills to the storey's reservoir tomorrow to release some water. Have to get the pressure up. Oh. Well, I didn't want to complain, Mr. Giltweave, but I've noticed at the fountain all I get on Fizz drinks is Fizz. We'll take care of it, Pee-Vee, if all goes well with the helicopter. How's that? That's the way we're going up there. How do you feel about helicopters, Pee-Vee? Well, I was reading about them in a magazine just the other day. Said the average U.S. housewife can fly one. That may be, but I'm not the average U.S. housewife. No, I guess you're not. I've never been up in the air, Pee-Vee. I'm not so sure I want to leave the ground. Oh, you, come back to it all right. There's the old saying, all that goes up must come down. Oh. Law of gravity. I'm aware of gravity. That's what bothers me. Flying up there should be an exhilarating experience. Like the song goes, off we go into the wild blue yonder. Pee-Vee.  I suppose you'd grab at the chance to fly up there. Well, I wouldn't say that. Just as I thought. Well, I don't know if I could stand the altitude here. I'm not a young man anymore. Pee-Vee, you're no older than Charlie Anderson, and he's going up. Say, maybe Charlie Anderson shouldn't try to stand that altitude either. If the engineer can't go, there's no use in me going. Pee-Vee, I'm going out and see Charlie Anderson. Wait a minute, Mr. Galaxy. We forgot to drink our coax. Oh, yeah. Well, bottoms up. I'd like to propose a toast. Oh? As we lift our coax on high, eat, drink, and be merry for tomorrow we may... Oh! So, Charlie, as you know, I've always prided myself on thinking of my employees first. I don't think you should go. Of course, if you don't go, I won't get to go either. But, Commissioner, I want to go.  What if something happens? I've lived my free score in ten. I kind of hope something does. Charlie, don't say that. At your age, you don't dare take chances. I'm surprised some of the chances I've taken my young life, Commissioner. Oh, you kid.  Charlie. Of course I can understand why. It'd be pretty hard to get you off the ground with all that ballast, you carry. All right, Charlie. I'll see you out there at seven o'clock. We'll see who's afraid. Wings, eh? At seven o'clock in the morning. Hate to go up at that hour. I hate to get up at that hour. I wonder what Adeline will think about this trip. She has something to lose, too. Say, maybe she'll try to talk me out of it. And the mayor can't blame a man if his wife-to-be won't let him go.  Hello, Trockmorton. Hello, Adeline. Come in, lover boy. Thank you. I think Trockmorton won't belong now. Huh? Until we'll be married, and you won't have to ring the doorbell to come in. Hell, yes. Adeline, when you come over tomorrow for Thanksgiving, I want you to promise you'll enjoy the dinner, even though I may not be there. Why won't you be there, Trockmorton? Well, I'm going on an expedition for the water department. An emergency has arisen. Oh, I read what they said about you in the water department in this morning's paper, and I resent it. Well, I'll make them eat their words if it kills me. Did you hear what I said, Adeline? What? I said if it kills me. Good, Trockmorton, I'm all for you. What? But, Adeline, you don't understand. I'm flying to the upper reservoir. You're flying up there? In a helicopter. First thing in the morning. Good gracious. Have you thought of the danger involved? Well, no, but I thought you might. Oh, you have responsibilities, Trockmorton. Yes, there's Marjorie and Leroy, but you know how children are and never think of the future. Well, I'm thinking of my future, and let's not forget that sweet little baby we're going to adopt. I know, Adeline, but it's my job and my duty. I must go up. Oh, Trockmorton. I know you don't want me to go, but I'll be back. I'm pretty sure of it. Oh, you're so brave, Trockmorton. You sound just like my grandfather, Bedford Devereaux, when he stepped into the basket of that balloon. Balloon? He told grandmother Devereaux he'd be back for lunch, and he didn't show up until supper two weeks later. Of course, Adeline, if you don't want me to go, I won't. What? I shouldn't just think about my duties at the water department. It isn't fair to you and the little baby. But, Trockmorton, I want you to go. Huh? I'll make the sacrifice. You will. But Adeline... A good woman should never keep a man from doing his duty. I'd rather have a deep respect for your memory. They're warming up. Still no wings. Good morning, Mr. Mayor. I see you're here on the dot, seven o'clock. Well, I could have been here at five. I was awake. Where's Charlie Anderson? Oh, he'll be along. Come over here, Gilda Sleeve. I want you to meet your pilot. Pilot? Oh, yes. I've seen him in action. Mr. Clark, this is Water Commissioner Gilda Sleeve. Glad to meet you, Mr. Gilda Sleeve. How do you do? Makes a lot of noise, don't it? What happened? The motor cut out. It's a little cold this morning. I wonder what'll happen up there where it's really cold. Well, don't start it again until we've had our pictures taken for the press, Mr. Clark. Right. Gilda Sleeve, you stand on that side and I'll stand over here with my arm around the pilot. Yeah, all right. Take about five of them, boys. That's why we're doing this, isn't it, Gilda Sleeve? Oh, yes. That's why we're doing it.  Young? I'm 21. 21? Oh, you've got nothing to worry about, Commissioner. I can turn one of these hot rod spiders inside out. Well, don't do it while I'm up there. Besides, if anyone should be nervous, I should. Huh? Of course, I've flown a lot of freight, but you're my first human passenger. I am. What's going on there, Gilda Sleeve? Smile for the camera. Oh, yes. Smile. I'll try. Oh, the camera! Oh, the camera! You've got to get the engineer and them pictures. Well, here's Charlie. Oh, what's the matter, Commissioner? You're looking a little wide around the gills. The gills? Oh, I'll be all right, Charlie. I think I'll step over to the fountain and get a drink of water before we take off. Hey, Commissioner, don't turn on the water. Charlie, my mouth's dry. I have to have a drink. It may be my last. Oh! Brighten the face. Charlie, what's happened to the water pressure? That's more than we ever had. Dad, blasted Commissioner. Why'd you have to go and spoil everything? What's that, Charlie? We got so low on water last night, I hiked up there and opened the gate. You mean the pressure's up? Charlie, why didn't you tell me before? What? Miss a trip in this newfangled helicopter? Think I'm crazy? Yes. Hey, you hear that, Mr. Mayor? The pressure's up. We don't have to go. What, is this Gilda Sleeve? Yeah.  One taste of crisp toast topped with parquet margarine, and you'll be convinced that this margarine is prepared like a rare luxury food. For parquet tastes like a luxury. It's delicious on rolls, pancakes, crackers, as well as bread. It's nutritious and economical. Though parquet costs only about half as much as the most costly spreads, it gives you all their nourishment, plus 15,000 units of vitamin A. Tomorrow, get parquet, the margarine that tastes like it should cost twice as much. P-A-R-K-A-Y parquet margarine made by Kraft. Be sure to listen next week. We're going to announce the winners of Ford's Addents in Parquet's final contest. What's the go-up in the helicopter, honk, honk? No, Leroy. I would have gone up. I was all prepared. Help me offer this overcoat. It's heavy. Oh, gosh, honk, you're putting her weight, aren't you? You sure looks patterned in this overcoat. Well, Leroy, I wouldn't want you to tell anybody, but there's a parachute back there. What a carry. Yeah. Let's go eat the turkey. Good night, folks. Happy Thanksgiving.

People that buy the food are as bad as the people in the kingdom. So, he's... We're making an allergy for you. I've got a dog farm to sell dog burgers. No one's buying any. Five people come in, they want a dog burger. Bang. I take the dogs out from out the back, start killing them. Then they go tell five of their friends and then I have to breed more dogs into the existence to kill them and make dog burgers. And then all of a sudden there's 50,000 people there.  So, what's going on here? Who's responsible? I mean, if no one bought the f***ing dog burgers I could just leave the dogs there and have a happy life and I'd stop breeding them, actually. Maybe I wouldn't make a business out of them. It's pretty deep, isn't it? They're not potatoes. They're not tomatoes. They're not f***ing crops. They're sentient beings, like... They experience a world like dogs. Similar to human beings. They have an eye, a brain, a heart. They care about their young. They feel pain and suffering and well-being. And they get tortured and murdered en masse. In the UK it's like over a billion animals a year. Worldwide it's 80 billion. Trillions of marine animals dragged out the ocean just so people can eat a quick sandwich they forget about. I'm going to think about my choices.
