Yes, exactly.

We had a pretty good thing going.

I know a lot of people don't agree with that.

And our system, by which I mean the American system or perhaps the developed world system, a lot of people sit in a lot of different places in that system and will have different experiences of it.

But I think overall, in terms of wealth and health and all the stuff that I want, I listen to the complaints of

about that system that are made by Trump and his, uh, his team.

And they just seem wildly exaggerated.

So like the argument I would lean, if I had to make an argument, I'm like, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Things are pretty good.

Are you sure you want to start rolling the iron dice here?

When we're all, you know, we're living long.

You know what I mean?

We have all this nice stuff.

You know, since World War II, all things considered by the standards of history have been pretty peaceful.

Richest country by a mile in the world.

And it's like, yeah, I understand things are tough in the Rust Belt.

And I respect that.

And I respect the pain that, you know, inequality and unequal distribution causes.

But I feel like we have a lot at stake here.

You know, these are very general observations from a guy who sits around thinking about stocks, but there you go.
