Out of housing, immigrants living in a house you should have been able to afford.

We have a far better set of answers, which is if you're out of a job, it's probably because a corporation figured out how to offshore automate your job.

I mean, think about AI, like that's been the entire business model is to automate all of the jobs.

If you're out of a home, it's probably because a corporation is speculating on the home that you probably should have been able to afford.

If you're out of healthcare, it's because a corporation is definitely figuring out how to monetize you because you get sick.

And we don't say that because too often, Democrats are taking money from the very same corporations who are part of the problem.

So if you can't actually say that, you end up saying nothing at all.

We end up with these like mealy mouth, 10 point plans about how we're going to solve this and that.

And we dress it up in a bunch of policy speak that itself is incoherent and actually not really consistent with the real problem.

Like I'm all for really good policy.

I write policy books.

But policy is secondary to politics.

And your job as a politician is to go out and explain to folks why the problem exists and what you're going to do about it.

But if you're part of the problem...

You have no actual incentive to explain the problem.

So we sound ridiculous.

And then what happens is, this is the worst thing, is that consultants come in and they tell you, well, listen, we did this poll and here's the popular thing.

You should just say this popular thing.

And it turns out that the job is not about saying what's popular.

It's about making popular what's right.
