is nothing.
It's de minimis.
I take it one step further, Freeberg.
I think we should be auctioning these.
Yeah.
And the way to really do this, and this is Trump's superpower, is turning something that's a cost center into a profit center.
I always give him credit when he does something brilliant.
And the brilliant thing to do is to take the $100,000 and make it an auction.
I would auction off...
half of these to the highest bidder.
And then you would have Google, Facebook and medicine, instead of give me you know, 100,000 of these at the rack rate, they would be saying, Hey, I need 10 of these, for sure, I'm going to bid a million, I need another 100 of these, I'm willing to bid 750.
And then take that money and just allocate it to vocational training and retraining.
You know, the problem is this administration has two different sides.
You have the brilliant people in this administration who I admire very much, like Letnick and Sachs and the business people.
And then you have the knuckleheads in my mind, the people who are doing the stuff that ICE agents and the deportations.
And the perfect example of this has come up with the H-1B visas.
They took the Hyundai plant where you needed high skilled workers and they arrested and they deported a bunch of South Koreans.
They, in a very brutal way, very disrespectful way,
at the same time that Lutnik is out there trying to get people to invest in the country and build factories here.
You can't be deporting people with Stephen Miller's deranged process of running people down and treating them inhumanely, and then at the same time be saying, hey, we want you to invest and build a battery factory.
