I'm, again, an optimist.

I think you start seeing the ebbs and flows.

People call one side socialist, the other side fascist.

But when you actually look into it, or if you're an immigrant with experience in either one of those, you're like, yeah, come on, give me a break.

Um, you do worry about it and you, people should push back and like, um, be critical of bad proposals and like really actually like test people.

Like you really, you know, the problem you're trying to solve is solved by building more houses or building more hospitals.

And you haven't built any of those things in the last 10 years.

So you're full of shit.

Like give them, give them that feedback.

And I think the loop, the feedback loops in the U S are fast enough that

the people that want to get elected want to get elected so badly that they will do the right thing if you push them on it.

This is, I think, the best part.

They want to get elected, right?

That's their career.

That's the career they chose.

So there is incentive for them to do the right thing if that's what will get them elected.

So it's ultimately up to the people and the voters to kind of push them on meaningful, measurable results.

Where a lot of problems come in is like,

People will claim that they solved housing affordability with subsidies, but no new houses being built.

So you gotta call them in that bullshit.
