And the fact that they weren't pushing back was just slowly making me enraged. I should say, as a matter of framing my mental breakdown here, I had just, not 30, 90 minutes earlier, come back from a two-week book tour. Yeah. So I was tired. I was unwashed. You have nothing to apologize for. I was coming off of a connecting flight. I had to sit at O'Hare for like nine hours in the tarmac.

Oh, yeah, sure. 19th century autarky just basically means you think that your economy should essentially provide everything that people consume in that economy. So all of the avocados that Americans eat, they should be grown in the U.S. of A., right? All the bananas that Americans eat, they should be grown in the U.S. of A. All of the coffee we consume

Should be grown in the US of A. The problem with that, however, is that I don't know if you've ever seen one of those maps of where coffee grows. Basically, none of it grows within the American border. We kind of have to import all the good coffee.

There's some nice beans in Duluth. I don't know. I haven't checked in on northern Minnesota and the quality of their chocolate and coffee. It doesn't seem quite tropical, but maybe give it 35 years.

And then we give money to those countries and then they get richer and we get delicious fruit, right? Trade is good. Trade is positive sum.
