And what we've been watching by and large around the world is piratization, not privatization or plunder.
So it's so funny, I wrote a I wrote a piece about
Um uh this sort of piratization at the time.
And it later became an online book I wrote called Dylan Reed and the Aristocracy of Stock Profits.
And when I first sent it to the I was working with this firm in London.

The head of research just started laughing and he said, I've always believed that government is inefficient and the solution is to bring in more private.
you know, m more private capacity needs it.
I'm reading this and what I realize is, you know, what is going on and some private guys are just using the government to pay themselves huge and hideous profits above market in a way that's destroying markets.
So so we have these public private partnerships that involve huge corruption, huge grift, and aren't productive at all.

As a result, we had $29 trillion of bailings, which does run up.
