yeah for sure it does it matters to to people's lives um i mean like it's crazy that the palisades fire homes haven't been rebuilt yet but it's nothing to do with lack of bricks or mortar like short ussr level shortages where they just didn't have any of that stuff it is a self-induced shortage
It's purely our own politics that's preventing those homes from being built, which is nuts, right?
But it's a different problem than literally factory says that they built all the bricks, but the bricks don't exist.
So I think we have a lot of problems that are of our own choosing.
And I think what's important is that people actually kind of look at why we have those problems and
take agency in action to go address them and push back on like, you know, like I think if you look at it, there's so many stocks that you cannot possibly track them all and invest all of them.
There's so many layers of government like we have very decentralized government.
You have city, county, state, federal and many layers of federal.
There's like 12 people you have to track of to do a good job.
that affect your specific, whether you can build stuff locally.
And it's just too much for any single person to do that.
I think that's kind of part of the problem.
Who do you actually push back onto and block building buildings in California is like a difficult question.
And a lot of it is very much local people that don't want the value of their house to go down because it's stuff like this.
So a lot of it is of our own choosing.
And we can fix all those problems.
I just got to kind of actually just talk them out, go throw a block party and talk to your neighbors.
make some hot dogs in your hot dog stand.
I'm very much, I'm extremely bullish in America because I think ultimately people have a sense of fairness and have a sense of belief that they can solve their own problems.
I think that's very much a true American entrepreneurial spirit.
