Sure.

So you see something like Los Angeles. Last week I had 19 in-person meetings. I don't know how many phone calls. Meeting with people in the construction space, which you understand construction and remodeling very well. My concern for Los Angeles, besides the $150 billion and growing number that's impacted, is there's no Calvary coming. And here's why.

If you have a construction company in Dallas, Arizona, Utah, Vegas, the surrounding areas, you're not coming because you're not going to get licensed. And you're going to have to go through a big headache to get licensed. And so like when I posted about it, I was getting a quarter million views, half a million views of posts. And all the comments were, I'm not going there.

I got 80 employees there. I'd love to go there, but I'm not going to get licensed. I got 400 employees, but I'm not coming and I can't deal with the headaches. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. I'm like. Well, who's going to build it then?

Please bring the Calvary. Think about when the fire truck showed up from Oregon or something. They stopped them and made them go through a smog check. You stop smog check, there's 40,000 acres burning. What smog matters when the whole freaking city's on fire? I didn't know that. That's unbelievable. Literally, that's not a joke.

It's hard to imagine what's happening. So another fun one real quick. I mean, when Trump, you mentioned about like, I'm going to change Gulf of Mexico or Greenland or buy that or whatever. He also did it with Canada and talking about making Canada another state, adding it as the 51st or 52nd state. And then a week later, the evil ruler of Canada resigned.

You know, like the guy that was holding Trudeau. Like, again, I don't even talk about politics very much. I talk about math and reality. I like to talk about money. That's what we're here for. He hurt them by hundreds of billions of dollars, Trudeau. And within a week of basically saying we're going to take over Canada, the guy's gone. He resigned. And we never hear from him again.

Like the impact of that for that entire country, whether we end up merging with them or not, is staggering that someone could literally do a couple of tweets and all of a sudden you take away an evil dictator. the guy that was literally like not letting people go outside their homes for a year or two during the shutdown.

Like anyways, I get too emotional about how frustrating he was to that society. I don't even like, again, like Canada is not our thing, but it is right next door. And every time I tried to fly in there, I go through like three hours of inspections at the border. And it's just like a hard, hard country to deal with. Hopefully we can work something out with them.

Cause that'd be a great add to our economy. Okay. Next topic. you saw all over social media last week was TikTok. Everyone was freaking out. Who's going to buy it? Who's going to figure it out? Is it bad for our society? Is it amazing? Here's the thing. 170 million Americans have a TikTok account. So people think like, oh, that's about half the people. Wait a minute.

Out of the 340-ish million people we have in our society... There's a lot of them that are babies. They don't have TikTok. There's a lot of them that are senior citizens. They don't have TikTok. So it's basically everybody else. It's like 170 out of like 250 or 220, whatever the number is. So it's a vast majority of society. And 2023, it was $1.5 billion on TikTok shop.
