Like, so you put it roughly speaking, I think for Nikki Haley, it would be the mid seventies.

Right.

And they're like, okay, the United States- The oil embargo.

Right.

We lost our first war in history.

The president was impeached and had to resign.

A hundred American cities were engulfed in ruinous race riots.

Oil prices quadrupled in one day, and then the economy was so bad, we had to create a new name for it, stagflation.

We had whip inflation, now buttons we had to wear, parade around.

Those were the happy, healthy days.

I think there's something fascinating about it.

It's almost like I think we have an evolutionary need to forget bad things that happen, and we remember the past in a kind of misty-eyed way or something.

Yeah.

When I saw that, I know the tweet you're talking about.

Yeah, yeah.

And I saw that and I thought to myself, you know, Elon Musk is so smart, but it's a perfect example of how these tech geniuses somehow seem to either lack any sort of historical understanding or any common sense.

Like you look at those pictures and as you say, my reaction was, you do understand that that world on the left that is that beautiful Rhodesia,

was true for like 3% of Rhodesians who were white, who were tyrannizing the 97% who were not.

And that's why you could live like that.

And the same is true in South Africa.
