So I think...

Right.

Understand that a major reason that Donald Trump won was simply because the prices of things were just too damn high.

If the election is rerun today, Kamala Harris wins.

I mean, she just does because the gas prices are where they are and inflation is going to go where it's going to go.

Now, I could be wrong.

Former CNN anchor Don Lemon was arrested late last night on federal charges.

If you'd have told me that one of us got arrested in L.A., I would have thought it would have been me.

That's the big question.

I think we, as you know,

reporters who are very interested in the economy, we see these announcements and we're thinking about how is this going to filter through to the economy?

Is it big enough to boost GDP numbers?

And these numbers, as Heather said, are quite large.

I think the question is, do we continue to see this wild disconnect between like pretty healthy GDP numbers helped by

some of those capital expenditures from AI firms against this kind of dismal backdrop of the labor market that's just been frozen, low hire, low fire.

Does the high GDP number translate into a boost for the labor market?

I mean, that's the big question.

I know, to play devil's advocate.

I think the question is, is it getting better?

Maybe it's not getting worse.
