Which is why people ought to, if it's at all possible, be doing stuff like that, right?

Not because they should have to do that, but because you cannot rely on the government, right?

And I don't say that as like a critique of people or to like shit on people.

It's just like it's a fact.

It's a fact that people need to increasingly accept because this is not going to be getting better in the long run.

Yeah.

Let's talk about Graham Platner.

All right.

Oh, God.

All right, let's do it.

Talking about attached politicians.

A couple of weeks ago, James brought up Graham Platner, who is running for Congress in Maine, and some ads that he had put out, which were really, and I still think are really good ads.

Good ads in terms of, they were effective, objectively.

He raised a lot of money.

He was leading in the polls prior to us.

We'll talk about a bunch of scandals coming out.

He's no longer leading, but he was doing very well for a while.

So his campaign, the strategy that he was following, which was largely a mix of talking about and really pushing investments in social programs and particularly health care and attacking the billionaire class in very stark terms, talking about the need to effectively get rid of that as a group of people, like tax them out of existence.

That's a popular, you know, and a good thing to campaign on.

And the success that he had early on is evidence that there's a lot of legs to talking about that kind of stuff in the way that he did.
