I don't know if we've gone over it.
I don't know when we're going to get there.
And I don't know when we get there, what we're going to do about it.
Yeah.
Well, it's hard, right?
I was at a meeting recently with a number of business leaders where
A bunch of people said, you know what, we should write down right now what the red line is so that the line doesn't move.
By the way, I think it would be very valuable for business leaders today to write down on a piece of paper, have a plan.
If you think there's going to be a day you're going to raise your hand and say, I don't like this and we've got a problem, write down what are the parameters and the metrics with which you would actually do that.
Because what keeps happening is the line that you thought nobody would cross seems to get crossed almost every day.
And
we become to some degree a nerd to what's happening.
And so I think that's part of the sort of psychological question that we all probably need to face a little.
Well, it'll be very interesting to see if, in fact, Democrats come into power, how they how they use that power.
And by the way, it's going to be very interesting to see now that we're in this moment where the president's going after Comey and he's going after Bolton.
Whether every successive presidency, depending on which political party is in place, is going to be sort of using these powers in these different ways and whether that then either puts a stop to the politicization of all of it or whether this just โ
becomes sort of a spiral out of control.
I'm very curious to see, but you're right that nobody in the moment right now, especially in the business community, feels pressure from the quote-unquote other side.
By the way, they always hated Elizabeth Warren making comments about their business, trying to raise taxes on them or implement wealth taxes or other things, but they never really took it seriously.
And so here we are.
