There's just nothing that can be done as if...

People can't act to change the status quo.

And there's enough unhappiness I should think about tariffs, war powers, the Fed now, some about ICE, I would think, I hope.

Maybe this is a moment where it all comes together.

Maybe it is kind of fantasy, but I put it in warning shots to try to give people something to think about, you know?

Unbelievable, really.
