Why? Like, how does that fix the system? Tell me how it fixes the system, and I'm all ears, right? My solution is end private financing. Then you can be a billionaire all you like. You can't buy the government, right? That's a more logical way to go about it. I've never worn an eat the rich shirt, and it drives me crazy. I'm like, you would have eaten FDR, right?

And FDR is the best president, most populous president, in my opinion. And so, no, there's wonderful rich people. Of course, of course, there's a range of humanity, right? But you don't want to get rid of the rich. You don't want to get rid of companies, but you also don't want to let them control everything.

So, okay, I'll give you an example that's really, and that informs a lot of how I think about things, which is my dad. So my dad was a farmer in Southeastern Turkey near the Syrian border. No money. Um, in fact, his dad died when he was six months old and he, uh, and so they were saddled with debt and, uh, no electricity in his house, like as poor as poor gets.

And, uh, he wound up living the American dream. And so he, How did he do that? What made the difference? Well, what made the difference is opportunity, right? So I'm a populist because my dad was in the masses, right? And the elites say the masses are no good. We're smart, you're not. We're educated, you're not. Uh, we, we at meritocracy, we talk about that. We have earned merit.

And if you're a poor middle class, you have not earned merit. Okay. You're useless and worthless. And I hate that. So what did, uh, Turkey do back in the 1960s that liberated my dad? They provided free college education. You had to test into it. Okay. But the top 15%. Got a free college education at the best colleges in Turkey.

And my uncle saved all of our lives when he came to my dad and said, do you like working on this farm? And my dad's like, fuck no, right? It's super hot. It's super hard. They got to get up at four in the morning. If they're lucky, the family next door gives them a mule. If they're not, they got to carry the shit themselves. Okay.

He's, so my uncle told him work just as hard in school and you'll be able to get a house, a car, pretty girls, et cetera. So my dad works his ass off, gets into the school and he comes out a mechanical engineer and starts his own company. He creates a company in Turkey, hires hundreds of people. He then moves to America, creates a company here, hires tons of people, right? So do I hate companies?
