No opinion on the actual elements of the bill other than from a process standpoint and a new kind of case study of how this is going to play out is I think we're seeing some early indication of what Doge will be able to do.

I mean, so to give some credit, you know, you have Ro Khanna supporting it. You have Fetterman supporting it. Bernie Sanders, you know, everybody. Yeah, Bernie Sanders had a good call out for Elon. You have everybody has their thing in the government budget that they don't like. So assuming that they see that as something Doge can contribute to, you could probably get actually broad support.

You know, there's a classic, you know, sort of reflex within within probably Democrat Party on at this point, just because of Elon's support of Trump. That if something is an Elon project, they're going to instantly respond no matter what the thing is as a negative without kind of actually saying, does this actually support actually something I do agree with?

That's going to be true of both sides. Michelle Obama was like, let's get kids healthy. And all of a sudden, now it's in vogue to do that. So I think we're just in an environment where anything will become partisan.

What's interesting is that because of the, you know, some of the cross-party elements of Trump and now his cabinet is it might pull in more of the Democrat Party than would usually happen. And I think because of Elon and the people that are surrounding Trump, you probably have a bit more air cover for the Rokanas of the world to also step up.

Because if it was like Steve Bannon and Trump doing Doge, it would be like, okay, maybe this is not the thing to lend credibility to for pure political reasons. If you have some of the best entrepreneurs that are out there actually literally in the cabinet driving this, at some point, it is an IQ test if you're on board or not.

This is this is sort of not not the part of politics I think about as much. So I'll leave that up to you as the other left leaning moderate.

No, I mean, I can't add that much more to this. I think there's probably a little bit of a disconnect at times from the, let's say, the voting public and broad constituents from then those that have sort of seen this in real life being inside of a company having to do a startup and scaling up and just the perverse incentives to build bigger teams, spend more.

Your project then is more important the more dollars it gets. We have all of these systems in place, which is the stuff that gets attention are the things that you spent more on.

So you have all these weird incentives to actually have your thing literally cost more, to have more overhead because you've brought in more contractors into the project that then you're going to get some kind of future benefit from in some way.
