Right now, 25% of the votes it needs.
So maybe it'll find a way to get on the ballot.
And then even then, it'll have an uphill climb to get voted in.
But look at the destruction that it has done in California by just announcing it.
The Hoover Institution basically ran this Monte Carlo simulation.
They ran 100,000 runs.
And in 71% of those runs, it comes out with a negative NPV.
And if you expected value it out, it's about a $25 billion hole.
They also found that they overcounted the number of billionaires in California.
So that number was wrong.
They undercounted the amount of revenue that they pay.
So that was wrong.
And they overcounted the estimate of how much money that they would make.
So that was wrong.
