We are going to end up in either a socialist or some sort of fascist.

Either way, it's a tyrannical system.

to get us out of the debt spiral that we've been in for some time.

So that is true.

But I still want to retain my sense of individual agency.

And I do think that those of us who are in California who actually care, should retain some sense of agency rather than suspend our, our ability to have an influence in the outcome here.

I think we need to speak openly and honestly about where this leads to let people hear it, let the people in California decide.

And frankly,

If we've done our job, we've spoken loudly, we've spoken clearly, we've revealed to people where a private property seizure tax leads to for everyone in this country and the deletion of private property rights in this country, and they still sign up to it,

then I'm out.

They have $14 million to gather the signatures, which the estimate was they'll need somewhere between five and 15.

So they have the cash they need to gather the signatures.

And they have roughly $10 million to run an ad campaign.

And their estimate is they need between 50 and $100 million to run an ad campaign.

Sounds like a good investment.

So the next step will be that they'll try and get this thing signed up.

Now, the polling data...

It shows that there's room for influence, Zach.

So I do think that if people can understand where this is headed, and look, if America wants to sign up to this, Godspeed, man.

Like, that's where America's going to end up in the socialist death spiral loophole.
