So it's like, yeah, no shit. If you make home absolutely obscenely expensive, you make housing expensive, people are going to fall through the cracks. And it doesn't matter if you pour almost a billion dollars into homelessness and you have like a thousand NGOs and nonprofits giving people support, which I've personally seen in San Francisco. It doesn't matter if you don't provide housing.

And so then you probably wonder, why aren't we building housing? You know, housing specifically is like its own kind of rabbit hole about all the policies in place that, which we've touched on a little bit, that incentivize people to not allow housing so that their home prices go up.

But I want to highlight some of the sort of stories and instances from this book or that Ezra Klein has been talking about that I think are particularly illuminating and frustrating about how Democrat-led governance isn't doing anything. It's not building anything. So number one, this is a video about Ezra Klein talking. This is actually just broadly about not being built.

If I pull up the one with Jon Stewart, he did a... That's somewhere around here. Oh, okay. Elon posted it for some reason. So he talks to Jon Stewart. We don't need the audio here because it's a long clip. You might have heard about the Build Back Better program from Joe Biden. Yeah, let's spend like a trillion dollars on infrastructure and supporting the city. And this sounds great, right?

And the Republicans were saying, no, we shouldn't spend more money. We're way the fucking debt. And Democrats are saying, no, this is critically important to helping reduce inequality and helping rebuild the middle class. We should build stuff. We should build infrastructure. This sounds great, right? Who would be against that?

I mean, you know, unless you don't think government should be spending money, but like obviously building a lot of stuff. That sounds great. One of the things that they started four years ago was rural broadband. And the idea is that the government is going to fund all of this rural internet to be sent out and expanded to rural areas around the United States who don't have it.

And this is a way to help people in rural areas help get away from that massive income gap. You give them these resources. So great idea. Sounds great. It has been four years since Uh, no rural broadband has been built. Absolutely. None. There have been, uh, there's surely like a 14 step review process.
