Travel Trouble and Economic Shifts

This episode covered everything from travel disasters to economic uncertainty and major cultural headlines. We opened with ABC7NY’s coverage of Hantavirus before discussing Spirit Airlines passenger luggage issues, airline loyalty programs, Delta cutting snack service on short flights, and shocking aviation incidents involving United and Frontier Airlines. We also talked about McDonald’s removing self-service drink stations, Walmart scaling back self-checkout due to theft, and reports showing more people are leaving the United States than moving into the country. In our “Wow” segment, we discussed countries projected to disappear by 2100 and New Orleans continuing to sink. We closed with sports updates on Stefon Diggs being found not guilty, Deion Sanders celebrating his children graduating college, and nine former NFL players now working as Jacksonville police officers.
