It's great.

It reflects something from Stein's law, which is a law of finance that says that anything that can't go on forever eventually stops.

And I think that people are fed up.

And so we're getting some repair bills.

Very hard to be on the wrong side of repair and say you shouldn't be allowed to fix your own stuff.

We could do the same for tractors and tractor parts and cars and car parts.

We have all the car part factories in Ontario, right?

If we can't ship those across the border anymore, we can just make generic car parts in Ontario, sell them all over the world along with the software to turn off the car part checking tool in the cars.

We could have third-party ink manufacturing.

And you know what?

If we don't do it, someone else is going to do it.

Yeah, that's true.

In suburban Toronto, a weird little school with like 80 kids.

It was kindergarten to eighth grade in one classroom.

Older kids taught the younger kids.

We more or less were left to go feral and design our own curriculum.

They chucked us out of the school on Wednesday afternoons to take our subway pass and find somewhere fun in Toronto to go do stuff.

It was great.

Can I slightly problematize that?

So we were both also science fiction readers back then.
