So if the world goes to custard, it doesn't have the capacity to actually feed its own people without imports, exports flowing freely. Right. So that makes it a fundamentally difficult country to run. The UK doesn't have any of these fundamental geopolitical issues. It's just like literally sitting around shooting itself in the foot.

Uh, main reflection is that people are really hurting and that's real. Um, I don't particularly get along with Gary. I don't like his solution. I don't like his way of, you know, putting his solution onto the world. Um, you know, his whole thing about just tax the rich. If, you know, I'm, I'm always extremely skeptical of simple answers to complex problems.

Um, and you know, it's already playing out. I mean, it's not even theory. It's playing out that the rich are leaving. And I, my big thing was, Hey, I agree with you on the problem. Um, Like, I really agree with you on the problem, but your solution is going to damage the country even more. You're going to literally make the people leave who we need to stay.
