We pay with the SO card and it charges us our American per gallon rate.

And they all have to pay their rate.

So I'm running up.

I can fill my tank at the time when I was there for like 30 euro, but for which is like roughly 35 bucks or something like that.

they, while the Europeans were paying like 60 or 50 euro themselves.

And it's because there's this, like Matt was saying, there was this, there's this hyper-focus on trying to keep everything cheap rather than making the market actually work.

And it's just, it was, I just kind of triggered something in my mind.

Well, and it's funny because if you forget your SO card and you need to get gas, you just got to pay their prices.

And that happens.

I mean, it would happen every once in a while.

And so I was like, dang, I got to pay like 80 bucks on my car, on my BMW to get filled up.

But yeah, it's really fascinating.

And you look at the...

kind of the shortages thing, I was kind of thinking about 2008 and how the United States is so insulated.

We are so insulated.

2008 crisis, that hit us hard, but it hit us way less than everyone else around the world.

Our recovery was way faster.

We were so much more insulated.

Because one of our financial system and to a lot of our a lot of the inputs come to the US and you're seeing like we won't see gas runs here like Matt was saying.

But already you see like India and Pakistan.
