I mean, induction is literally only a specific kind of electric stove. I don’t think I’ve ever actually seen or used an induction cooktop and I’ve had plenty of electric. They heat up an iron coil that you put the pan on, radiative/conductive heat same as a gas stove.

By and large Americans hear “kettle” and think a metal can with a handle and a spout that you put on a stove (aka range aka cooker aka hob) which is used to heat the water inside. Often with a whistle over the spout so you can hear it boiling.
Electric kettles are not the norm although I will say they seem to be catching on a bit. I own a couple now and I’ve seen them at some small restaurants. But I would say in terms of heating water, in the US it goes, microwave, stove kettle, electric kettle, custom 190°F tap
Where I’m lost is does this mean he thinks billionaires are too overly physically prowessed, or because they are insufficiently intellectual?

This is actually kind of bad because it encourages “normal” people to not ever question anything

Minor problem for me is currently living in a very old house that we don’t own and using a proper electric kettle will pop a breaker. I recently bought a travel kettle that uses like 1/5 the wattage instead
