Like you had given them money to help start rebuilding. And I hit you up and said, hey, thanks. I didn't know if you do.
Like your friends. Yeah, it was my friends. And I was like, I just texted him to say thanks. And he paid for all the rest of it. Right. That's doing something. Yeah. Either go there and get your hands in the mud, or if you can pay, pay. Do whatever you can, but just shut the fuck up. That's it. You can earn your right to say whatever you want.
I mean, Trump did say we might want to shoot some nukes into those hurricanes. That was Trump one, though. I don't know if he's changed his opinion on that since now. Probably not a good idea to send radioactive waste all over the place. Have it spread all over by hurricane. We'll see how it goes, I guess. We'll try it out one time. Try it in Haiti.
This is a really good point because there's an algebraic equation on how functional society works. And on one side of it is liberty, on the other side of it is fucking effort. And if you want decentralization, it requires your daily attention, your personal daily attention. Our collective attention, sure, but it always starts with you.
If you want to live in a world that the government doesn't have control over your life, you better goddamn walk down the street and ask your neighbor how he's doing. Because if you don't, the government will. And they're going to put him on welfare for the rest of his fucking life. And it's going to come out of your pocket forever.
And if he goes on one more generation, now you're on generational welfare. And that shit lasts six, eight generations.
Right? So one of the things I tell people a lot is... If the government shows up and nobody's got their hand out, they have no power there. And that is how voting fuck voting like do it. Obviously, you got to vote and participate in your country, but you're not going to vote your way out of any of this shit. No effort is the only way you get out of this.
Now, you can control two things in life, your effort and your attitude, and that's it, right? Yeah. And those things belong to you. Nobody can take that from you. Only you can give it away, right? Yeah. And we've seen an example just this past week, actually, of how effective this could be. So egg prices, right? They went up because 250,000 egg-laying hens were murdered. A million.
Millions, excuse me, a million were just killed because there might be a fucking bird flu.
Of course, sure. So what happened? We've seen the largest run of purchases on egg-laying hens to private people in the history of this country. And now, a week after everybody was just talking about how eggs are still expensive, there's a 47% drop in egg prices in one week. Right? That's how quickly it can happen if you just pull off the government tit. They're not good at anything.
What the fuck has the government ever been good at?
Well, I mean, here's the difference. If you only have ever worked in government, then you've only ever worked without a budget, right? Yeah. And that is not how the fucking world works, man. If you've worked in a business, especially if you created your own business, you know exactly what a ledger looks like.
You know exactly what the credit and debit section and the assets and liability section looks like. You know what a cap table looks like. And you know, over the course of this many years, I got this much money to spend and I have these goals to hit. And if I don't, I'm fucked.
I don't know if America ever lost that. I think that a lot of people have, right? But America has been the most generous, like the American citizen is more generous than the vast majority of countries. You know what I mean?
It is extremely unique. So I remember as far back as like, uh, the, uh, tsunami in Indonesia, remember that, you
the number one non-state contributor was to that not ngos not an ngo not any of that it was the united states citizenry yeah spent more money helping to fix that situation than anybody other than the us government did right just in donations which tells you something very clear one that this country is worth fighting for the people are uh not the government but the people certainly are the second thing it teaches you that you don't need to tax people for this we will figure out a way to help these people that's right i don't need the government as a middleman
Tacking on 40% to all the charges. Fuck you. You're taking money out of my pocket under the guise of some kind of social empathy or something like that. And what, you just gave yourself 40% of it? And that's the tax to be a good person? I don't think so, bud. I don't think so. If you get between me and somebody I'm trying to help, I'm going to fucking run you over.
A lot of it is incompetence, right? But, like, incompetence and lack of leadership, right? So, this is, anybody that's ever worked in emergency management, and you would like to think that people at FEMA have, at least some experience, right? Yeah, you would think. Would know a couple things. One, disaster happens, you're on the clock. People are without power.
Within a couple of weeks, people start to die from sanitation-related issues, right? You're also on the clock with regard to infrastructure. So one of the first things that you have to address is ingress and egress, like how to get in and out of places. Roads get fucked up, bridges go down, blah, blah, blah. Army Corps engineers weren't there until fucking weeks, weeks later.
They should be the first person on the ground in some of these instances, especially there in a place that isn't used to having these kind of things. Tornado Alley is what it is, right? Yeah, right. You know, trailers get knocked over. We were outside.
