Sal the Hawaiian shirt adds an element of credibility to your interview. Like a bald magnum p.i.

Magnum P. I.? Tom Selleck? Or the new series?

[@thereissomecoolstuff]

@@austinshowers1900 seriously. Tom Freaking Selleck. Don't ever ask a question that foolish again. Look at Sal. The obvious resemblance is striking. Sal won't grow a mustache because he gets stopped for autographs all the time.

I love the Hawaiian shirts!

[@thereissomecoolstuff]

@@3SpoiledDonkeys me too....Sal is awesome.

[@kathym6603]

Sal, I'm blown away by the insights you give about world events. OMG, is there nothing you can't know by watching shipping?

[@wgowshipping]

You are too kind Kathy.

[@trishkillian2459]

Thanks Sal! Very interesting as always.

Sal, good job and great info on Cargo. I’m looking at the design and engineering on the Fiber Optic ships for new “quantum internet” and upgrades to existing fiber. This includes new protocol change, new “browser” (web TV interface) and security capacity protected in this new active transport firewall via our AI Routing. I’d like to source as much as I can in US.

Those two freightwave newscasters always sound excited to be there. Someone should probably get them some voice inflection training. They're always speaking in a monotone. 🤭 And there's this annoying buzzing sound in the background. They need an audio specialist.

Fake enthusiasm is the easiest way to get me to stop watching your show. Why does everybody need to be smiling and bubbly all the time? I care about the information, not the delivery.

[@wanderingfido]

@@tissuepaper9962 I honestly don't care either. But. It could be why their view counts stay really low. IMHO given the topics always under discussion, the counts should be higher. Because it's about issues that have domino effects worldwide. So why are their view counts always low? 🤔 🤷‍♂️

You don't need false perky but you do need energy. These two are just a drag. I'm surprised that they haven't approached Sal to do the whole thing. His energy just blows them out of the water.

[@wanderingfido]

@@alexandermckay8594 My theory is, when one is paid to do something, they tend to avoid risks. Which means self-denial of any and all personal creativity. All out of an innate fear of being fired for 'experimenting'. They go along with the flow even if the format of the day is not really working well.

If Biden wants to use his pen to do something productive he should be proactively granting waivers and getting this moving.

[@easymoney8535]

So just so you can blame Joe for something, you want to give up American jobs to save the oil companies some money.

[@wgowshipping]

Waivers will not get more gas/diesel moving as the oil companies are shipping a lot overseas for the higher prices. All they want is to pay less in the transportation costs and pocket the difference.

@@easymoney8535 What I'd like to see is some executive action that will actually do something to lower energy costs. High energy costs are killing us.
