I think about, and I think many of us think about immigrants, which if you aren't from one of those first two populations, you are certainly from largely the third.
And so many of us like have our story of
our parents, our grandparents, our great-great-grandparents, and so on and so forth, and who, like, come and make something from nothing.
And I think that's a big part of also the most inspiring elements of what America is all about.
You can make something from nothing.
You can lose everything, and you can make it again, and, like...
I'm trying to remember, I saw this TikTok the other day and it's like, if you ran it up once, you can run it up again.
If you ran it up once, you can run it up again.
And I think about that.
And like, so it's- Yeah, that's America.
It is proof of concept.
I have always felt that America has always been a place of two stories.
Yes.
It has always been a place where we've seen the worst of humanity and the best of humanity and witnessing –
the triumphs of the best of us over the worst of what we've seen, I think is also a very big part of who we are.

In an era of extreme income inequality, I don't think it's a coincidence that this xenophobia and anti-immigrant feeling is happening at the same time as record levels of income inequality.
I also feel this way about Jim Crow and racism and all of this stuff, which is that when there is
so much economic insecurity.
I don't want to say it's a driver, right?
