Have a merry Christmas.

they're, they're using the word safe.

They're putting safe.

And by the way, it's in the vernacular now.

Like I, you walk out, you know, have a safe drive, have safe, safe flight, safe, safe, have a safe day.

It's like, we are taking this safe thing and we're pushing it out hard.

And then when something comes around like COVID, we go, okay, safety first, safety first.

And then we start locking down schools and we start masking up two-year-olds and, and,

we are hurting our kids with this safety Uber Alice.

And I'm wondering how much of it do you think is connected to in the, in recent history, an influx of women who,

who are in positions of leadership and who have a tendency to focus more on safety than, let's say, speed or efficiency or something like that.

I live in Los Angeles.

We have a mayor, Karen Bass.

Donald Trump is talking about rebuilding the Palisades, and she's yelling, safe, safety, but safe.

Slow it down, safe.

We are getting so inundated with safety that I don't think we're able, we're stifling ourselves.

Could you imagine trying to build the Golden Gate Bridge today in California?

That would take 150 years, but it'd all be in the name of safety.

I am telling you, as a former contractor, I...

who lives in Malibu, and I tour the devastation on a daily basis.
