And it's about the fact that the government either is implicit or complicit in this fraud.
And I think that that's what people need to pay attention to and ignore all of the rattlings about what community or what group or who's doing it and just focus on the fact that the government lets this shit happen.
If you think about the state of California spending $350 billion a year and you ask yourself the question, are those government agencies and the agents in those agencies doing their job of making sure that there's no fraud taking place?
There is no way anyone's gonna raise their hand and say, yes, they're great fiduciaries of taxpayer money.
And that's what we should all be paying attention to.
and get out of the political divide on all this and the racism and all the bullshit and focus on the fact that the government does this shit.
All right, everybody.
Even Jason.
Even J-Cal.
I mean, I think it's inevitable that there's a break in the country because of the effective sanctions.
The average income is about 200 bucks a month in Iran.
And the price of food is roughly the same as the U.S., maybe a little bit less than the U.S.
I mean, a combo meal at McDonald's, I just pulled this up in Iran, is four bucks equivalent.
So again, if you're making $200 a month and it's four bucks to go to McDonald's, costs catch up pretty quickly.
I think that ultimately is what breaks civil society is when people can't afford the things that they need and people have no choice but to stand up.
And an oppressive system, an oppressive regime can keep people down for so long until they're starving or they can't get access to things like medical care.
And these are the sorts of things that ultimately lead to these moments.
So it seems like it's an inevitability.
The United States has put a lot of pressure
on the regime in Iran, and it seems to be starting to break.
