    YouTuber Trevor Jacob sentenced to 6 months in prison after deliberate
    plane crash in California

    YouTuber Trevor Jacob has been sentenced to six months in federal
    prison following a 2021 plane crash in California that the Federal
    Aviation Administration has claimed the pilot purposely caused.

    Last June after reaching a plea agreement, Jacob pleaded guilty to a
    charge of destruction and concealment with the intent to obstruct a
    federal investigation, which would have carried up to a 20-year prison sentence.

    We as a culture created these incentives. This is the world we made.

    Berked Breathed foresaw this kind of thing back in the 80s in his comic
    Bloom County. Don't remember exactly, but someone (Opus?) had an
    overturned lawn mower, blades spinning, and a video camera, waiting to
    film someone getting hurt.

    A former Olympic snowboarder and experienced pilot and skydiver, Jacob
    hatched his scheme to allegedly deliberately crash his plane on
    November 24, 2021, after securing a sponsorship and agreeing to
    promote a company's wallet in a video. The company has not been named,
    and there is no mention of wallets in the video titled "I Crashed My
    Airplane" that's still viewable on YouTube.

    Maybe you did, but I sure had nothing to do with this. I've been
    anti-youtube since the beginning.

    ``We'' did nothing. Google did this.

    "We" created a world in which destroying a $150,000 airplane might show a profit. <https://www.controller.com/listings/search?Category=6&Model=180&Manufacturer=CESSNA&sort=11>

    Google or YouTube is just the vehicle for presenting the show to the suckers/losers.

    The aircraft was described by sources at Lompoc Airport as "in need of
    major maintenance."

    No more than radio, TV, books, etc., have been the past. One example,
    that ongoing media show for that Orange Jesus.

    Okay, I thought it was a C-180. My error.

    The aircraft was described by sources at Lompoc Airport as "in need of
    major maintenance."

    Change the value to 35 - 60 K then, it still flew well enough to be a
    victim of greed.

    True.

    There are a lot of suckers running around loose.

    During Company Towns: 1880s to 1935 https://socialwelfare.library.vcu.edu/programs/housing/company-towns-1890s-to-1935/
    corporations discovered having sports would shift the workers'
    thinking away from the company, unless things got really bad.

    When people have fewer diversionary activities, they find ways, like
    reading, to eliminate doing nothing. It's been suggested when books
    became available for all to read, more people spent time reading.

    Today, sports is mainstream is US schools, down to elementary schools,
    and I suspect a case could be made to suggest the emphasis on sports
    assists in the dumbing of Americans.

    Internet is mostly a tool for gratificaion these days, not
    educational. It too assists in the dumbing of Americans.
